Luis Gil and Clarke Schmidts development has been utterly brilliant to watch. This the most complete Yankee team since 09' squad.
Gotta bring in Giambi for game 7
Have Too ‼️😂
W/ Golden underpants?
The Giambino!
Which one
He might actually help
You were so right Mike! I was wrong!
Well I am convinced that the New York Knicks series is over. Brunson for all the great things he has done all year sometimes takes his hot 🔥shooting teammates out of their shooting rhythm. Knicks were keeping a small lead with Deuce and Donte filling it up but the ISO ball starts. Sometimes he just tries too hard to get his with everyone standing around. That is when shit fell apart. Now Josh Hart is injured and it seems to be a pulled ab which doesn’t heal in 2 days. Pretty sure they finally depleted all their resources. I can’t see them winning at home without Hart. He is the glue
Even if they beat the pacers, they'll lose in 5 to Boston
Agreed, i need him to pass the fucking ball more often. He gets hot and hogs the ball, which is fine if he’s hitting shots. Problem is by the time he goes cold or is contained the rest of the team is already off their game or cold.
@fatz5188 probably, i recall he had the same strategy in Houston with Harden. I could be wrong though
Yea everyone is sold on Brunson, if he was more of a distributor, then MAYBE he is a top-15 player in the league. Brunson's FG% and 3pt% is pretty horrible in the playoffs. He is trying to do everything as a shoot-first point guard and you can't win that way unless you are Iverson and Brunson is not Iverson. Brunson has ability but his main job is to get the ball to Randle when he was healthy. Brunson putting up 35 shots a game and not shooting it well, you can't win that way, he is not playing like a floor general, he is playing ISO ball like Melo and he doesn't have a fraction of the offensive repertoir that Melo had.
Hart was hurt... dude
Mike, I feel like you have some kind of inside information on the outcomes of these games. Not only did you predict a Knicks loss, you actually provided the blueprint as to how they'd lose.
Hey 👋 mike. Diet coke is on sale at shoprite. Your thoughts? Ill hang up and listen ☎️
Knicks players and coaches didn’t show up tonight. Hopefully they are all ready to win on Sunday and Hart can play and be effective.
Hart was hurt
Knicks are finished if Hart doesn’t play. That being said…if Hart can walk he’s probably gonna demand to play.
It’s been a good run guys. I think the dam has finally burst. No team can survive this many injuries
I got a fever.... and the only prescription is more Mike Francesa Podcast
is it pacer fever lol
@Calico997 what? The Knicks are injured to hell, reality is a thing
It would help a little if they hit their free throws.
The key to Mike's success is repeating himself incessantly. Most people would get bored but not Mike.
Kind of thought Mike would have delivered the Knicks Eulogy by now.they won one round vs a injured sixer team and needed a huge whistle advantage and now everyone is like wait til 2025... wait for what??
Its called a post mortem....... ok?
@@TobiasWellman thank you Mr Webster
Why is there always some stupid comment about Giambi?
Agree. Boomer humor is the worst.
Because it's funny, if you understand the context. And I'm not a boomer.

On Mike's WFAN show, he got lots of prank calls. All talk show hosts have to deal with such things, of course, but Mike in his arrogance took it so personally that it only made people ever more determined to troll him. He got pranked more than anyone. (Contrast, for example, with longtime WFAN host Evan Roberts, who legitimately finds these things funny, and just laughs them off. That's probably the best way to deal with it.)
Somewhere along the way, it became a thing to work Jason Giambi into the conversation. Say, for example, the Jets were having a rough season (they usually were), and someone would call in as a perturbed Jets fan demanding that the Head Coach be replaced. "And if you are going to say that we can't fire him unless I can name a replacement, I have one right now: Jason Giambi!" And Mike would get mad, and we'd all have a laugh.
I have no idea how or why Giambi became a mainstay of such calls, or if it started with one person or with a group, but eventually it took on a life of its own. If someone wanted to troll Francesa, they would frequently find a way to bring in Giambi's name at the end of what had seemed like a legitimate call.
So yes, a lot of us find the whole thing amusing, how it drove Mike absolutely nuts, and it continues to get a laugh whenever someone references it.

Glad to have helped out! I'm a teacher. Explaining things is fun, even something as mindless as Jason Giambi references on Mike Francesa's show.
Knicks are in a no-win situation going forward. If they lose in game 7 at home then its a bad look, but they are going to get stomped by the Celtics if they make it to the next round. A couple weeks ago it looked like they could give them a run but no way in hell with this current rotation. And maybe no Hart? Forget it.
Pacers should've really had this series wrapped up already
It’s up and down with us Knicks fans. One loss and it’s the end of the world 😂
With all these injuries, I don’t think their in a lose lose. They are still competing while getting valuable playoff experience. Boston been in the ecf like 6 times in last 8 years so they battle tested.
@@lombardo141 TBH I'm not a Knicks fan, just an observer of this series and the potential next one. Knicks are a good team but they dont matchup with Boston. If they were fully healthy they would be but I think any Knicks fan really has to toggle with the opinion of preffering to lose a Game 7 to Indiana where injuries could be used as an excuse. Or to prob lose in 5 against Boston and it might not even be that close.
@@jnyce2nyce The experience factor does matter. But I'd also argue that if this Knicks team as its currently contructed is going to get to a conference finals and potentially win it, it would help if OG and Randle were on that team. If a goal is to get someone like McBride playoff mins, that might not matter too mcuh if he's playing in Phoenix next season
@@NothingToPointOut24you couldn’t be any more wrong. Show me a team that goes from not making the playoffs to all of a sudden getting to the finals and winning. Some of you so called fans are entitled they are just beginning on this journey. The only player who has championship experience is Divo and his role on the Knicks is more important. The entire team is benefiting from this, well except Randle and hopefully they move on from him.
The Knicks will win game 7 at the Garden 💯
Where are you Mike ‼️
So the GOAT isn’t going to react to Game 7?
We can still win without Hart if Donte’s 3s go in (on 🔥), we get 20 from Burks, McBride keeps Haliburton in check, Hartenstein grabs a good # of rebounds, and JB drops a 40 burger.
The coach of NY has ran his players into the ground and this didn't just start in the playoffs go to the regular season. Haliburton got hurt during the season and he twist his ankle this series.
Francesa's fake teeth clapping together is why I'm here
Dare Va-Neers, Uhkay!
Mike what's the life of the series the Knicks are missing players and have guys playing injured while pacers are at full strength watch the games
Thibs wearing this team out, seeing him playing starters during blowouts I knew this was gonna happen
The Always count on MSG to be there for the Knicks!.
Knicks seem to have left their toughness in NY
So with Hart hurt badly, do you swap Hart with a Burks and Achiuwa platoon and play a Pacers way of pray on offense?
Who cares, Knicks are done without Hart lol
Yea everyone is sold on Brunson, if he was more of a distributor, then MAYBE he is a top-15 player in the league. Brunson's FG% and 3pt% is pretty horrible in the playoffs. He is trying to do everything as a shoot-first point guard and you can't win that way unless you are Iverson and Brunson is not Iverson.

Mike, how surprised are your hawkey guys that the Rainjizz beat Caroliner?
It really is a shame. If the Knicks were at full strength they probably make it to the Finals. Next year’s team is going to look much different. No OG, no Hartenstein. Randle will be back and who knows how he’ll affect things. This might be as good as it gets for the Knicks for a while.
Knicks will sign OG and try like heck to sign I heart.
Injuries are part of the game, no excuses. Injuries are a result of poor conditioning in the Knicks case.
I think the Knicks try to move Randle in the off season. I don't think Randle and Brunson can coexist for an entire season . They both need the ball to much.
Hart just had take crap relax guys
@@thomaskoeppel6506 They were damn near undefeated after the OG trade and they were all playing with Randle. =/
If hart doesn't play the knicks will be looking to next season. We will see.
We lost this series not pushing back more against dismal calls game 3. Longer this series goes on worse for us more beat down we get.
A Knicks fan whining about blown calls is hilarious. 🤣
I’m going to guess 70 percent of those in the comments will be giving the Knicks a chance in the next series all of a sudden.
Why didn’t burks get more shots
Coach Thibs and his stupid usage
Also 2-8 shooting
You like nothing about the Pacers ..?Really?A historical best offense ever in the NBA and you can’t simply respect that at the least?Sound very bias to me with the Knicks.Credit should be given where it’s due.If I’m being a honest you repeat yourself on this podcast particularly and if I’m being honest didn’t like anything g about it..Go Pacers
Pacers will win game 7- take it to the bank!
Something that Mike or no other media person would admit in a platform is that the league is rigged. Brunson sold in the first half and made sure the Knicks remained out of it. He took a bag
I agree with you 100% this is why I didn't understand why Pacers didn't run the tired Knicks in game 5. The TV made sure we saw Hart's black tape on his stomach. Haliburton shooting 6 times and passing up layups in front of the rim. He took the bag too my friend. Now the betting starts with a broken Knicks team as Indy don't run. Same out West. Boston playing no Jimmy Butler while losing to Cavs. Ant seems like he is trying to really win. I am a Pacers fan writing this.
Why are u watching then if thats what u think
@@ryanchoke entertainment
Yup. League wants a Nyk vs Bos ECF and Joker going up against Luka out West. Bos vs Den Final with Den repeating in 6
Part of me just wants this to be over, too stressful
Lol nah but i get your point
Did Mike apologize to Ohtani for accusing him of gambling?
I heard othani bet to cover the cover-up.
LMAO 🤣

Lets just be real. Nobody is beating boston.
Probably not in the Eastern Conference. Denver still looks like the eventual champ to me.
Horse's fanny 🐎
Is it the 18 horse from Schenectady?

Whoops
Knicks havent won an Nba Championship in 50 yrs. How can you be happy just making conf finals. Gtfoh
