Nate McMillan Admitting The Hawks Can't Call Plays Because MSG Is Too Loud And Wild Is So Fucking Awesome

Holy shit, this is better than I imagined. I've longed for the days of seeing the Knicks in the playoffs again. I would have taken an 8 seed. I would have taken anything. Now we're hosting game 1 of a series and MSG is fucking bonkers. I love it. Just listen to some of this: 

You think a slow first quarter would make this any less crazy? Fuck no. We've been waiting 8 years for this moment. I forgot how insane playoff basketball is. But the Knicks are currently doing what the Knicks do. Down 2 despite playing like shit, getting help all over the place. Shout out the bench especially Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley.

Now it's time for someone to turn it on. Bring in Frankie Smokes to get him under Trae Young's skin. Barrett only has three points, he's gotta turn it around. But it's a 2 point game and the Hawks can't call plays. Hard to argue with that. It's time to start mixing it up and keeping this crowd into it. It's rare that we see THIS sort of homecourt advantage in the NBA. It's rarely THIS loud, but it's MSG. It's different.
