Craig has hope for Knicks fans who are down after Sunday’s series-opening loss to the Heat.
The ‘Bockers aren’t losing another game this series.
“I got good news for you everybody,” Craig said. “Julius Randle is coming back and the Knicks are winning four straight.”
Craig says the Knicks clearly missed Randle, who gave it a go during warmups before being listed as out for game one. But he sees New York’s All-Star coming back, and coming up big, while the Heat star may now be nursing an ankle injury of his own.
“If Jimmy Butler is not on the court, they’d lose every game by 20,” Craig said. “Because he’s that good.”
Keeping the focus on the Knicks, Craig saw a team with some rare jitters, and says those are now out of the way, and even though Evan believes a long, intense series is in the cards, Craig foresees another five-game series win for New York.
“If you watch the game closely, the Knicks played out of character,” Craig said. “Forgetting to get back on defense, allowing long passes, even after makes.
“The series is not over at all, except that the Knicks are winning four in a row to win this series.”
