Long Ago And Far Away Fire And Rain James Taylor Carole King 1
I was 15 years old and at this game sitting in the last row in the upper deck screaming my head off along with the rest of the Garden crowd - the place was rocking! 19-0 run to end the game (without the 3 point shot)! Still remember this like it was yesterday.
at 86-83 , it really was a knicks 15-0 spurt
I really miss those games when you had mature, non-pampered players fighting for every bucket and playing fundamental basketball.
I remember this game like it happened yesterday!
This is Marv at his finest... I swear it brought a tear to my eye... classic...
MINES ALSO ❤️
Was at this knicks game Un real Great !
Such a consummate LEGEND at the mic.
I heard game on radio. Monroe had 11,of those 19,points
That was fantastic. I love watching Earl Monroe play basketball.
wish there was more footage of the teams from this era the teamwork on those Knick teams was a joy to watch
A Saturday night, heard it all on AM radio when the comeback was taking place i turned up the volume & stood with my hands clenched. Still love sports & games but not to the level felt then.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Willis totally dominated Jabbar in those last 6 minutes playing great physical defense.
Can someone list the songs please? Sounds so good!!!
Put Your Hands Together, Don't Call Me Brother, I'm Weak For You, For The Love Of Money...from the O'Jays album "Ship Ahoy".
Marv at his best with YES, the Bucks want to talk it over and Jackson in for the Windmill Effect! The only thing we didn't get was Monroe facial jump yes! Reed and Jabbar in a battle down low!
At the 4:08 mark you can see how much taller Jabbar is than Reed and yet Willis would muscle him. I have tears watching Willis with that bad knee. BAD MEDICINE STOPPED Willis Reed from 5 to 6 NBA titles! RIP Captain! We never saw .363% gag acts in the finals like Ewing in 1994 against Hakeem who dominated him! Pat Ewing SUCKS!
People forget the big elbow Willis gave to the then Lew Alcindor in the 1970 playoff game at the Garden. Jabber was always scared $hitless of Willis!!!!!! RIP Captain #19 🙏🗽🏀
@@bartonpercival3216 Great point!
NOTE THE MASSIVE knee brace on Willis left knee but how he was physical against Jabbar.
A year later within 5 days in November Reed and Jabbar played for the last two times and the badly injured Reed held Jabbar to 18 for 40 shooting(45%) and 44 points in 86 minutes as the teams split. Reed tried to play 3 more games, then sat out 47 and returned for game 79 of the 1973/74 season badly injured and tried but was finished at age 31. He played in 11 playoff games in 1974 averaging 12 minutes and 3.4 points and 2 rebounds. His last 3 years Reed from age 29 to 31 was able to play in 99 regular season games. The year before this in November of 1971 Reed had major left knee surgery and missed the 1972 playoffs injured. Somehow in games 3 to 5 of the finals against Wilt in the 1973 playoffs, Reed was able to play only 96 minutes but scored 61 points with 33 rebounds shooting 54% earning another Finals MVP and NBA title!
Great post.
This is why NY basketball sports fans are so brutal....these Knicks were without peer and could defeat any team. The bar was set by the Pearl, Clyde, Willis, Bradley, Action Jackson et al. And lest we forget the greatest platy-by-play guy in the history of the trade: Marv A.
And don't forget Dave Debusschere #22 👍
The last 2 minutes did take 10 time outs and 20 minutes like 2days NBA
Great clip 8 hall of farmers on court playing at same time....thanks for post
Really wonderful footage
I was 9 when this game happened. Marv sounded great then and sounds great now on this old recording. what a treasure.
"The Pearl" Monroe earned his NY Knick stripes in this one with his clutch play during the final minutes. Knicks finished the game with a 19-0 run, erasing a seemingly insurmountable 86-68 deficit with under 6 minutes left. Epic comeback!
I was there as a 22 year old with my future wife. People were leaving with 5 min. left, but I thought there was a mathematical chance, if all were to go right. And it did! Reed manhandled the young Jabbar. This team knew how to play at both ends of the court.
Certainly some wonderful memories. You were lucky to be there. I caught it on radio. Marv Albert learned well from Marty Glickman.
it was 86-68 bucks with 5 min to go
❤️willis reed
I remember this game vividly. Marv Albert’s call was so great. Hearing his voice over the live video really brings back the feeling of the Garden when those Knick teams made the place rock.
YES MARV ON RADIO FROM THE GARDEN THE BEST....LOST IN HISTORY WAS MARV DOING RANGER GAMES FROM THE GARDEN...NO ONE IN HIS LEAUGE..SIMPLY THE GREATEST
I remember this game as well. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my transistor radio listening to Marv call the game. I remember Reed's defense on Jabbar and Monroe's clutch shooting, which is why we got him (he was a favorite of mine when he was with the Bullets). What a game.
OH, THANK YOU FOR THIS. AT THIS GAME, KNICKS DOWN 18 PLAYING BAD. GOT UP TO LEAVE EARLY BUT GIRLFRIEND ( NOW MY WIFE ) SAID STAY. THEN EARL WENT OFF. GREATEST GAME I EVER SAW IN THE GARDEN
I remember listening to this game back then while doing my homework. When they got to within 9 I stopped and didn't move a muscle the rest of the way. Those Bucks teams with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson were super-dominant but the Knicks were the only team who knew how to beat them. 🏀
Alcindor/Jabbar was 6 wins and 15 losses against Willis Reed despite the Bucks winning 304 to the Knicks 266 from 1969 to 1974 and in 1970/71 the Bucks won 66 games but went 1 and 4 against Willis Reed and the Knicks. In the 1971 playoffs Reed was badly injured in game 1 against the Hawks with his shoulder and couldn't shoot after that and the Knicks lost game 7 to the Bullets by 93 to 91 that propelled the Bullets to the finals to play the Bucks. It was Jabbar's only NBA title without Magic Johnson and he only got it because Reed was injured!
@@jacksmith5692 No argument here. I do remember that later in the 1972-73 season, the Knicks played the Bucks and Kareem was really motivated. The Bucks routed the Knicks in Milwaukee, 100-74. No miracles for a second time, just a dominant performance by Kareem. The 7-2 center lit up the Knicks for 40 points. The trio of Willis Reed, Jerry Lucas, John Gianelli scored 16. The game was such a rout that even the seldom-used Tom Riker played three minutes.
@@KSmall109CAB That was 12/1/72, Reed in his first 29 games up to 12/19/72 had one game of 21 points rounding back into somewhat shape? He was a shell of his former self with the massive Lenox Hill Knee Brace on his left knee. He was able to play 40 or more minutes only 5 times out of 69 regular season games and his best game was 28 points on 3/13/73. He had seven games of 20 or more points out of 69 and 33 games under 10 points in 1972/73. In the playoffs he had one game over 40 minutes in 17 games and yet somehow in games 3-5 of the 1973 finals against Wilt scored 61 points with 33 rebounds and 10 assists in only 96 minutes shooting 53%. In game 3 Willis in 33 minutes had 22, 10, and 3 assists. In game 4 Willis in 32 minutes had 21 and 11 In game 5 Willis in 31 minutes had 18, 12, and 7 assists. He did that against Wilt who was playing all 48 minutes. The Knicks scored 292 points and allowed 274 points in 3 hard fought defensive games. 97.3 to 91.3 and yet in only 96 minutes Willis somehow scored 61 points with 33 rebounds and 10 assists shooting 28 for 53. We didn't see any .363% pathetic finals like Ewing against Hakeem in the 1994 finals as Hakeem shot 50% averaging 27 a game! Go back and look at around 30 to 40 playoff games that Ewing had against Rik Smits, Luc Longley, and Bill Cartwright. He was pathetic! The last two times that Willis played Kareem in 1973 were within 5 days and somehow Willis on very borrowed time held Jabbar to 9 for 20 and 9 for 20 shooting. On November 17 1973, Reed led the Knicks to a 100 to 93 win and Reed shot 10 for 18 in 35 minutes scoring 22 points. Jabbar played 47 minutes and shot 9 for 20 for 24 points. On November 22, 1973, Reed only played 25 minutes and had 7 points and 6 rebounds. Jabbar shot 9 for 20 again scoring 20 points in 39 minutes. The Bucks won this game easily! Reed played in two more games and then sat out from 11/26/73 to 3/19/74 trying to rehab his left knee and had surgery on his right knee! Reed sat out 57 games and played the last 4 games before the playoffs but was done! In the 1974 playoffs he played in 11 games and averaged 3.4 points and 2 rebounds in 12 minutes. I was 12 and cried watching him for the last time when he was just dragging the left knee. 31 years of age and finished! They told him he'd require another operation and he said I'm done!
@@KSmall109CAB Here was when they operated on Willis's right knee in December of 1973: Reed Waits For Verdict On Surgery “I'm feeling a lot of pain,” said Willis Reed of the Knicks in his hospital bed in Oklahoma City yesterday. “You know, the post‐operative kind of pain. I sure don't feel like seeing anyone.” The Knick captain underwent surgery to remove torn cartilage from his right knee on Wednesday. Dr. Donald O'Donoghue, who performed the one‐hour operation, said it involved “nothing unusual?. Dr. O'Donoghue will talk to Reed later' to explain exactly what he found. Reed's condition was described as “great, except for post‐operative discomfort.” What BS, his condition was described as great! Yeah we saw it in the 1974 playoffs as I cried as a 12 year old!
@@KSmall109CAB Here is what was written about the 1971/72 season when Reed was finished after 11 games and the 1973 finals: In 1972 Reed was conspicuous during the playoffs as the only man in mufti on the New York bench besides Coach Red Holzman. He had been sitting there ever since November 1971 resting his left knee, which was immobilized on account of tendinitis. The treatment was a success, but when Reed returned to the lineup this season the long stretch of inactivity had added a very uncharacteristic facet to his play: inconsistency. In some games he snapped off quick, short moves inside, swished his jumper and seemed the equal of the Reed who had made the All-Star team his first seven years in the NBA. In others he appeared confused and out of place, much like the awkward kid who is allowed to play in a schoolyard game because he owns the only basketball on the block. The two new moves Willis executed most frequently were the Clumsy Carom (in which he would turn an uncontested rebound into an out-of-bounds play for the other team) and the Three-Cushion Catch (in which he would massé an easy pass off his hands, onto one of his kneecaps and into the eager grasp of a nearby opponent). As recently as New York's victory over Boston in the semifinals, Reed's play was erratic. Suddenly, against the Lakers, Willis' old game was his only one, a timely turnabout he found difficult to explain. "I just couldn't tell most of the year whether my ups and downs happened because I missed so many games, or if they were just the normal thing that all players face of having some good days and some bad," he said as he strapped on his canvas and leather knee brace before the final game. "An athlete is not like a car you can tune up by turning some screw and then expect it to run right all the time. Coming off an injury like mine, you have to expect that sometimes you'll advance a little and at others you'll fall back a bit. But I said at the beginning of the year that I was aiming to be ready for the playoffs and here we are." Reed was right on target. His contribution to the Knicks' victory was greater than his statistics-16.4 scoring average, .493 shooting percentage and 9.2 rebounds a game-indicated. On defense he frustrated Wilt Chamberlain, whose scoring outburst over Jerry Lucas led the Lakers to the title last year. Against Reed, who is taller, stronger, heavier and quicker than Lucas, Chamberlain's attempts to back under the basket for his finger rolls and dunks yielded almost as many traveling calls, three-second violations and offensive fouls as they did goals. And Lucas' presence on the bench was an asset. The Knicks' plan was to foul Chamberlain whenever he seemed sure to score, and Reed and Lucas had an average of 7.2 personals a game, more than either one could have afforded individually. The luxury of having two men available to clobber Chamberlain permitted New York to hold him to a measly 22 field goals in the series. Wilt made the strategy look even better by missing 24 of 38 free throws. With Chamberlain's foul shooting 15% below his career average-which is a feeble 50%-and with West, Jim McMillian and Gail Goodrich all in free-throwing slumps, Los Angeles lost a potentially decisive edge. The Lakers tried 74 more foul shots than the Knicks, but converted only 37 more. That was damaging indeed because this year's finals were the closest and lowest-scoring since 1956. The average margin of victory was five points and even in the fifth game, a veritable rout that New York won 102-93, the two teams were separated by only four points with 1:04 to play. It was usually Willis who set the picks that allowed his teammates to escape their own men and penetrate into Chamberlain's territory. Once Wilt had switched to pick up the intruder, Reed would roll toward the basket or step back a stride or two to the foul line to await a pass-and the opportunity for an open shot. If Chamberlain adjusted quickly, Reed passed off smartly to other Knicks as they became open as a result of Wilt's lunging back and forth. It was a simple tactic but nonetheless daring, since New York used the man it feared most, Chamberlain, as the cue for its inside attack. Reed's overall play made him the most valuable Knick for the first time in three seasons. 1970's medicine sucked!
I was at my cousins wedding in the Bronx listening on radio .. The Knicks scored the last 19.
Lucky you. I was in the Bronx too but I was a little hem tugger back then. LOL
it was a saturday night
NICE MARRIAGE
knicks in those days were the number 1 team in ny, well ahead of the yankees, mets,jets,giants, rangers! tickets were cheap but difficult to come by!!
Yessssss, & Defense was first. All five starters were superstars.
To Jerry Baskett - I see you uploaded the his 5 years ago, but since I only just found it - Thank you Thank you Thank you!
same sentiment exactly.
Mr. Solozzo is correct. The Bucks’s last basket, to make it 86-68 came with 5:50 on the clock.
Somewhere in storage, I have a reel-to-reel tape of most of this incredible rally. I think that WNBC (Radio 660) replayed it before a Knicks/Blazers game a few nights later. A cousin taped it, and I copied the tape. I missed hearing it live b/c (as a pre-teen) I turned in early when not feeling well. Great timing on my part. :) Thank you for posting this gem.
I remember this great comeback well, listened on the radio as a 14yr old. What a comeback!
it's funny but both knicks championship seasons had miracle comeback wins early in those seasons: vs cincy in 69' and milw 72'!
I will never forget this game...I was 17 years old and working at McDonald's in Little Ferrery NJ ...WE listened to this in the back of the store and were all going wild...I will never forget it!!! ...we should all have been fired!!! Nobody was running the restaurant...I believe it was a Sat night🌙
it was!
love and kisses my friend. What a night that was, what a time.
I remember listening to this game on my radio in my bedroom. Earlier in the game (before this video starts) and the Knicks were way behind, you couldn't hear any crowd sounds at all--the Knicks were that out of it. Once in a while you'd hear a lone jeer echo through the what sounded like an empty Garden. Then the crowd got more and more into it as the Knicks rallied. I think Lucius Allen (as Marv says, a 91% free-throw shooter) missing those two free throws was the point where you knew the Knicks were going to win!
i think it was 86-68 with 5 minutes and change to go. knicks outscored them 19-0 to win the game!
@@jamessollazzo4860 Yup! (Or, as Marv would say, "Yes!")
I was at the game as a 12 year old and my father begged me to leave at halftime. The crowd was so loud my father thought the stands were going to to collapse!
omg
This full game should be on DVD along w/ other great games from 1970 to 1973
Got that right
I had both record albums of the Knicks in 70 & 73. Holzman's Heroes in 73 was one of the best recordings of the 73 Championship year of the NY Knicks!!! 👍🏀🏆
@@bartonpercival3216 got the record, no longer have a turntable
@@jamessollazzo4860 Oh no, if you've never heard that 73 recording, try and find or borrow a turntable, I tell ya it's a great recording!!!!!!! 👍🏀🗽
Love listening to this laying under my air conditioner on may 31 2020
The good Old days wo Music was Music 👍🎶🎼🎵🎧
Excellent They don't do it like this no more
my late dad took me to this game. what a wild comeback.
saturday night, I was 11 and was listening to marv on the radio!
U were lucky. There were fans who told me they left and have tried to choke themselves ever since.
@@viralbuthow000 lol
@Ben Smith Can you imagine if that was a Game 7 of the Finals? You guys would be deaf today.
@@jamessollazzo2966 I was 17 years old and my brother, sister and I were able to pick up this game on the radio at night on AM radio in North Carolina! What a game!
