On First Take, Stephen A. Smith, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo and Austin Rivers debate if the New York Knicks, despite injuries, are NBA title contenders as currently constructed after Kevin Garnett made the argument for Coach Tom Thibodeau & the Knicks to run it back.

People forget that Giannis was hurt. Embiid was hurt. You can’t say if the Knicks were healthy without saying if the Bucks or Sixers were healthy….

Knicks fans want to pretend health ruined their season like Embiid, Giannis and Dame didn’t help their path greatly

How many rings does Mad Dog have? Is he a Hall of Famer? Don’t think so. If Mr. Gritter, the epitome of toughness in basketball is on board with a Knicks repeat, I’m with KG all day. Until this team fails due to lack of talent(s) and not by dystopian bad luck, don’t mess with that crazy chemistry these boys have

Listen the Knicks aren’t coming close to sniffing the Larry O’Brien for generations to come. 51 years as we stand, in fact the Knicks technically own 0 of those trophies, back in the 70’s it was still the Walter A Brown trophy.

Knicks would have still lost. They went 6 games vs a banged up sixers. Then went 7 games vs an average pacers. Knicks are a solid team, but nothing more. 🍵 🫖

So 2 small players have done it, but apparently no, it cant be done again if there is a small guard who can do it is Jalen Brunson, that clown have no clue what he is talking about. KG, SAS and Austin are right.
