**Joe Haden** (1:26)
I'm doing good, brother Deebo. Doing great, man. How are you?

**James Harrison** (1:30)
I'm doing good, man.
I'm doing real good, man. New York, you know, they was doing real good until they won, then they just ain't know how to act. I told you them boys ain't know how to act, bro.
It ain't even them. It's the fans, bro. They don't know how to act. They immediately. Immediately, see what they was done. Made sure 64 people got arrested. They stabbed four people, had a shooting, shot one person. They burnt up, what was it? Four, five buses or something like that. They destroyed police vehicles and they messed up 10 officers. 10 officers reported injuries.

**Joe Haden** (2:05)
Okay.
Can we talk about the good first? Or we just gonna go to, we gonna go to the fans?

**James Harrison** (2:11)
This is all bad. I ain't want them to win. Hey, listen, I was right about something, Joe.

**Joe Haden** (2:15)
You was right about they don't know the fans.

**James Harrison** (2:18)
I was right about something, 4-1. 4-1. It was just the wrong teams.

**Joe Haden** (2:22)
Gentleman sweep the wrong way.

**James Harrison** (2:23)
It was just the wrong teams. It was just the wrong teams, Joe.

**Joe Haden** (2:25)
It was just the wrong squad. Did you see the last game? Did you see Jalen Brunson, no, Deebo?

**James Harrison** (2:31)
Dude, it didn't matter. It didn't matter, man. The Spurs, they couldn't do nothing, bro. Like, I don't, they could...
Listen, I don't understand. This is actually starting to make me a little upset, bro. How do you have five, five double-digit leads in all these games? Yo Lois was 12 They had a 12 lead. I think that was game two. 14 was in game one. They had 16 somewhere around there, game three. And then four, like, y'all, I don't know how you do that. Y'all had an opportunity right there to just go ahead and make that thing two-two.
And then you lost a 14-point lead in the last one.

**Joe Haden** (3:09)
Yes.
Yes. It speaks more on New York, Deebo. I hear what they're- No, it don't, dude. Yes, it does.

**James Harrison** (3:16)
It speaks on the collapse of the Spurs, dude.

**Joe Haden** (3:20)
Oh, my God. You're tripping out of your mind. You're tripping out of your mind. They might not have been ready. The coaching, right? The coaching, playing De'Aaron Foxx a little bit more, they might not have been ready. But the Knicks going into this, nobody was expecting this to happen. No, but if you would have said gentlemen sweep off the rip, everybody would have thought we were tripping. Do you not remember the alien? Do you not see what these birds are doing? Like, all of a sudden, honestly.

**James Harrison** (3:45)
Well, obviously somebody cannot get together what they need to do after they get into these large leads. So if you can get a large lead like that, it's obviously not your players. So it comes at a point in time where you got to be like, hey, if your player is not doing well, let me switch him out and get somebody else in there.

**Joe Haden** (4:04)
It takes, you're right.

**James Harrison** (4:05)
Hey, let me call a timeout.

**Joe Haden** (4:07)
Yes, yes.
It takes a team, it takes two teams. It takes a team to lose and a team to come back. So that team is missing three pointers, not doing what they need to do, coaching errors, not calling timeouts during the runs. But at the same time, the other team is doing those runs, getting those stops. You know what I'm saying? So I'm looking at it from my perspective. I hear what you're saying, Deebo, but we got to stand here today with the Knicks winning a championship and Jalen Brunson being a little dude, little chubby bruh, big body Brunson.
