Dana Whitaker:
Name three things the Knicks need to do this season to make it to the finals.

Jeremy Goodwin:
uhm... I couldn't get another question?

Dana Whitaker:
You will, but not until I hear an answer to the first one.

Jeremy Goodwin:
What do the Knicks...?

Dana Whitaker:
Three things the Knicks need to do to contend.

Jeremy Goodwin:
Miss Whitaker, I would be great at this job. You got to believe me when I tell you I've been training my whole life for it. I've crunched stats, I've broken down film, and their wasn't a team at my high school that didn't have me for an equipment manager. I have read every box score in every newspaper that's printed in English and has a sports section, and I have seen Sports Night every night since your first broadcast two years, two months and a week ago today. Now yes, sure, indeed, I can tell you what Ewing and Oakley are shooting from the field and that you're not gonna stop John Starks if he squares up to the basket. And put any defensive pressure on Charley Ward he's gonna fold like a cheap card table. But if you asking me for genuinely sophisticated analyses, and I SENSE that you are, you gotta give me some time, at least twenty minutes.
