YES!!! Marv Albert Will Be Calling Game 5 Of Knicks-Hawks, Which May Be The Exact Juju Bump The Knicks Need Right Now

I don't think I am breaking any news for anybody who watched the last two Knicks games in Atlanta, but the boys in orange and blue can use all the help they can get right now. Trae Young is running train on Thibs' fabled defense, Most Improved Player Julius Randle is looking like 2019 Everybody Wants To Trade Me Julius Randle, and the Hawks have outclassed the Knicks in pretty much every aspect of the game. Yet here comes Marv Albert limping in like Willis Reed to save the day by giving the team some positive mojo by calling his first live game of the season at MSG. 

Yeah yeah yeahhhhh, I know that the Marvelous one has lost a step or a sentence or whatever the hell you say for a broadcaster. I don't care though because at this point, we need to find something that works for the Knicks and Marv returning home for (at least) one more game before hanging up his mic is as good an option as any. Of course I hate opening The Garden's doors to that gremlin Reggie Miller along with all the bad memories and announcing he brings with him. But this is an elimination game in the playoffs. I, and millions of Knicks fans, need something to believe in outside of the regular season and Madison Square Garden being really loud. 

I was +22 watching on TNT in Game 2 before the Hawks stole Games 3 and 4 simply because they were on ESPN/ABC. Now we get Marv's return on TNT. If the Knicks can ride all that juju to a win, all they gotta do is figure out a way to grind out a Game 6 W by mucking it up 90s style in Atlanta, which then will lead to an absolutely insane Game 7 at The Garden, which gives me goosebumps just imagining what it will sound like. 

So yeah, I officially love our chances for this series and will love them even more if someone listens to what I've been asking for since Game 1.

Can somebody pleeeeeeease get Cody a motherfucking ticket? It doesn't even need to be first row or even in the blue seats. But just get him in The Garden by tipoff and let the juju carry us into Atlanta (or mayyyyyyybe save him for Game 7. Just make sure someone gets his contact info just in case).
