Ralph Kramden, a NY NBA fan? (Part 5)

[Frank Gannucci]

(The Atlanta Hawks beat the NY Knicks 104-95.)

(Ralph & Ed just watched the game at the Raccoon Lodge.)

Ralph: "What a lousy game."

Ed: "That's true Ralph. At least the Nets have a real good chance of advancing."

(Freddie Muller comes by.)

Fred: "I see that the Knicks lost."

Ralph: "Yes Freddie."

Fred: "The Knicks haven't won an NBA title since 1973."

Ed: "That is almot 50 years ago."

Ralph: "I remember watching the movie Crooklyn. A 1994 movie that was set in the 1970s. One of the oldest kids wanted to see the Knicks win the NBA title."

Ed: "Man do I feel old."

(Ralph rolls his eyes.)

Ralph: "Norton, we are no longer young. We have reached the second plateau."

Ed: "I am surprised that you haven't broken it by standing on it."

Ralph: "Oh, you are a riot Norton."

Freddie: "Judging by the tournament, if the Knicks and the Nets face each other, it will be in the third round."

Ralph: "I like that since it means that one of our teams will go to the NBA finals."

Ed: "If the Nets advance, it looks like they will face Milwaukee and not the Heat."

Ralph: "Yeah, it's a shame that the Nets won't get an opportunity to play near the fun and sun capital of the world, Miami Beach."

(Crowd cheers.)

Freddie: "All of us Raccoons should see the Knicks play in MSG."

Ralph: "You got that right."

(They both sing a song about the Raccoons seeing the Knicks live.)

(Jackie walks on stage. Crowd cheers.)

Jackie: "Thank you. GOOD NIGHT!"

(Crowd cheers.)
