"I like the confidence. I like that he thinks he's the number one pick, you know? A lot of times you want a guy that thinks he's supposed to be the number one pick. Those are the things I like about Scoot. I liked the grill the first four times he showed off the grill. But number around 13, I started to get a little worried. I think this works out great for him. Now it's like, this was a three -player draft, then it dropped. I was picked third. Well, I'm as good as... Now he'll have the little thing. That chip's even bigger for him. And he's also... If they trade Dame, it'll be a bad team next year, which is great for him. Good conference. He'll have the ball more. I just don't know what that Dame trade is. Like, Brooklyn... So Brooklyn, who were their two picks at 21 and 22? They had Noah Clowney at 21, out of Alabama, center. Then Dereek Whitehead at 22, Duke, guard slash wing, head injuries, two -foot surgeries. Both of those guys could be headed importantly. Number two player in his class. Yeah, Brooklyn trades for Dame, which I don't think can be ruled out. And then, other than that, for Dame teams, the only other one I can think of is Atlanta, if Trey was on the table, which there's been no rumors about that at all. What about Boston? Is there any world in which Boston tries to get involved? He basically already said he didn't want to go there. Chris Haynes, who's... A lot of people have said they don't want to go places. I know. He's incredibly tight with Dame. Obviously, he said it's not going to happen. Like, just flat out said it's not going to happen. So I mean, other than that... Well, the Celtics aren't trading Jaylen Brown. At least for the next year, he's on the team. So they don't have enough to get him anyway. And Portland wouldn't want Jaylen Brown unless they were keeping Damian Millard. Right. It's kind of a catch -22. And even then, I'm not sure. They would have wanted to give up number three, considering they don't know if Jaylen would re -sign. The one that could have made sense is Philly, but they just don't have the picks. Because it's like Maxie Harris plus, and then there's no plus. It really might just be the Heat and the Nets. And that's about it. Other than that, I mean, who has either the assets or the need for another point guard? Not many teams. Well, I would have said maybe Orlando, but they absolutely, in my opinion, whiffed on the draft with 6 and 11. I don't really understand what happened. They'd take Anthony Black at 6. They'd take Jed Howard at 11, which drew gasps in our little draft viewing room. What did you do have, Jed Howard? 20th? 20th on my board, yeah. There's just other guys we liked more than that. Meanwhile, in the middle of those, Kason Wallace went 10. And my guy French Pippen went 7. But I don't know, I wanted to - Cousin Sam was all over Koolabally for you, by the way. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he bet that. He took that. He won that. So, congratulations. All you had to see was two videos of him just blocking stuff off the shot clock. I feel like Orlando missed an opportunity at KOC. I like the Anthony Black pick at 6. Me too. I mean, he's a good connected piece. Talk me into it, because he feels a little Alfred Peyton -y to me. So let's play to the Alfred Peyton part first. Lack of jumper. He's needed to prove himself, especially sharing the floor with Franz Wagner, who's a solid shooter but not a knockdown shooter. Wendell Carter, same thing. So for Orlando, that's where you have concern there. However, the connective playmaking ability, that guy just makes rapid decisions. He's a high IQ guy, a tough, big 6 '7 defender at the guard spot. So we're talking size in the NBA. That's going to be a trend with some of these young teams. You have Charlotte, that now is big, Oklahoma City across the board, big, long teams. And then Orlando, they're going to be putting out lineups where Anthony Black is the smallest guy. And yet all five players on the floor still have skill and handling ability. The question's the jumper, and that's where Jett Howard, I think drafting him is a bet on he's 6 '8. He's not a defender yet. He's not a passer yet. But he's a scorer. He can shoot. So the things that he doesn't do well, they would hope, are covered up by the things that he does well, which is scoring. You guys both hated this pick. However, with Jett Howard at 11, I agree. I would have went with Grady Dick instead. I would have went a different direction. Why would you take Jett Howard over Grady Dick? You watched more college basketball than anyone I've ever faced. Well, I think they saw the suit, and they said we could not take this. They were wondering why he was dressed like a magician? Honestly, not a bad reason. They had him until they saw the suit? It's kind of like last year at the draft, I feel like they saw Paolo Bancaro, and they saw him standing next to Jabari Smith, and they said, okay, well, that guy's the number one pick. Right. He was literally a walking red flag. I was trying to come up with a nickname. The best I could do was Siegfried and Brandon Roy, but he just looked like he was a Vegas entertainer. He had shoulder pads? Yeah, heading out for a cigarette between breaks. Maybe he didn't want to go to Orlando, but he's going to Toronto now. But like you said, KOC, they needed a shooter. So I understand you're trying to talk yourself into Jett Howard. He has the wingspan. John Hammond loves the wingspan, so that makes sense. It's nice for Anthony Black. He doesn't have to be the primary ball handler for this team. You got Franz Wagner. You got Cole Anthony. You got, you know, Suggs. And durability is the big thing with Anthony Black. He plays. He played the most minutes on Arkansas. He shows up. He's going to make mistakes. He's going to have turnovers, but he's also not going to be a problem for you.

"Not just he's not just representing himself. He's representing the NBA's representing the grizzlies and it's not easy the responsibilities that come with that, but there's a lot of positives and obviously NBA athletes generally willing to make that tradeoff for a lot of reasons. So at the end of the day, you're right. He needs to make better choices because he's putting himself in danger with what he's doing right now. And look, we can talk about basketball when John morant comes back, but he may have just submarine this entire grizzly season. There's only what 18 to 20 games left for them at this point.

All right, I want to talk about Chris herring's favorite team, the New York Knicks, they are surging right now. Winners of 9 in a row, they are sitting in the number 5 seed at the moment in the Eastern Conference. They just won a thriller in Boston a couple of days ago, being the Celtics in double overtime, manual quickly, a tour de force in that game. Just a ridiculous performance by Emmanuel quickly. The Knicks are in, I believe, as we speak, the top 5 or 6 in offensive rating, they are top 15 in defensive rating, they're playing with confidence, they have all stars and Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle, Julius Randle rather Dylan Brunson on that level. I guess the question I'm going to ask you herring is that two years ago we kind of saw this, right? We saw a great Knicks regular season team. Is this team different? Does this team have playoff success potential or at least more playoff success potential than the team we saw a couple of years ago? Yes, just to put it bluntly, yes. I think two things. One, yes, they are not an elite team defensively on paper. They are a lot more formidable when Mitchell Robinson is there. And he missed a lot of time and they were playing 500 ball. During the time he was out, which, you know, for them is not bad, but they are an elite team, defensively, especially now with Josh Hart. They've got so many wings they can throw out there. That are disruptive. They've got everybody kind of playing on a string, playing hard. Was a sneaky good pickup. Josh Hart. Thank you. He was and to Chris point. I don't give a damn the Knicks win, lose what have you. But I do pay more attention to them just by having covered them before. I follow so many Knicks fans who were kind of like angry that the Knicks were giving up on reddish, angry that they're giving up first to get Josh Hart, and I was like, have you watched him play? Like the team struggled, particularly with Mitchell Robinson was out with rebounding. Josh Hart is great at rebounding. He's great and transition. He was one of the best single transition players in the league, just coast to coast. He's a guy that hustles like he's Tom thibodeau's fever dream. Like he's perfect for them. And that's even if he's not shooting well, he has a role on that team. Not to mention that I think advertently inadvertently he's someone that went RJ Barrett is shooting you out of a game that you can plug in. And it puts pressure on RJ Barrett that he doesn't just have carte blanche to shoot poorly to not play with effort. It is a great pickup for them. And so I think the addition of him and their rotation, Quentin Grimes has obviously been there. It also puts pressure on him from time to time when he's not playing well. You don't have to use Barrett, who was shot poorly at times, but has been okay lately. And, you know, to the other part of Chris's question, do they have more of a ceiling than last time, yeah, they have a point guard now. They don't have to rely on Derek rose playing 35 minutes in a playoff game off the bench or having to start him all of a sudden when he's come off the bent all season because you have Alfred Peyton as your point guard. So Jalen Brunson, it goes without saying that he's a guy that can go out and get you 40 if he has to. And that they're also winning games without him. They're beating elite teams without him or at least the Celtics without him the other night because Emmanuel quickly might be the 6th man of the year this year. So there's no question in my mind there are better team there a little bit more experience. Julius Randle looks far more comfortable and you don't have to rely on him to do everything the way that you were trying to do the last time, which that, you know, as much as I love Brunson, the big question is, how does Randall do? Because he looked totally overmatched when they played Atlanta a couple of years ago on that stage. He wasn't ready. He wasn't able to kind of take on the double teams. He wasn't making the right decisions when he was doubled. Having Brunson there is a guy that can dictate a lot of that dictate where the ball goes and also having more shooters than they had on that roster. I think we'll take them a lot further in addition to Mitchell Robinson if he stays healthy. They are scary. The Knicks are good. First of all, just incredibly fun to watch. Especially the last couple months, you know, I do the entertainment rankings for a side before the year every year. And I always put the Knicks low because they always play these grind out games, the offense generally under tibs has not been very good. It's been a complete flip of the script this year where they have a really good and fun offense. You mentioned Julius Randle can you hold up? Like oh, Julius Randle and apology because I thought the season he had a couple years ago when they made the playoffs when they had the first constraint against the hawks. I thought it was a little bit of a fluke. I'm like, this guy had 9 months off. Some players are coming back. After 70 days, the Knicks had all this time and they make a run, you know, remember the Celtics get swept the first round that you're like, the heat got swept in the first round. They were the Conference Finals here before. It felt like a weird season. Then last year he comes back down to earth, but we're seeing now a team that's built so well around its two best players and Brunson and Randall. That they're in much better positions to thrive. I mean, Randall has turned into one of the best isolation players in the NBA, his three point percentage is way up.

"I'm expecting his raw points beginning to come down a bit but with the added weapons around him. I'd like to see you know his efficiency. Go up with the spacing. Less of an offensive load The game should be easier for him. I'm hoping that there's not as much isolation basketball just because he doesn't need to this year And that's the big thing he won't have to show that this massive offensive load and be forced to create a look every time down. I think he will get more looks. That are just like you know you know. Just more looks where he's the recipient of other guys creation. A lot of the office. Last season was giving julius the ball in hoping he build them out and to discredit. He did do that a lot. Yeah yeah no exactly I think what you hit on at the beginning is what i'm most excited about for this year because as much as i- clamor for last year like especially in the hawks i was like please just run like a d. h. o. with j. in julius which we never saw like i could count on my hand the number of times you saw julius randle running. Dhl i wanna see him uses roller. I wanna see him. Involved individuals and part of that like i think last year is okay. Well you you can't really run a da show with alfred peyton like you can try just only it's going to be worth it. You have more dynamic guys who may be open that up. I wanna see more of tubes actually utilizing that but it kinda reminds me a lot. And i mean as good as choices like i don't know how much washington wnba but it felt very similar with how false about the chicago sky this year like they used candace. Parker is not. I wanna say similar. Julius obviously she's point forward Better player julius. But that's because she's one of the greatest players ever But they never used getting downhill. Like i look at it the same way as us like honestly yeah. Janas has great court vision. He can see over defense and uses height but also if you're not getting him going downhill you're not using gravity doll. And that's how. I feel. Julius like if you're not using him getting downhill towards the rim where he can create some of his best advantages or really punched. Defense the most than you're not getting the best playmaking opportunities for him either. And that's something. I really hope sea change this year. I agree with that. I think we get a little more creative running like inverse bicknell's rando in hembo or even i q kemba accuser. They're really good green status for their size even though they're like tiny relative to in vegas And you said it would help get jewish going downhill he. Can you know draw double teams out of it or end up with a smaller guy on him and get an easy. You know look another way they can just get easier. Looks just pushing the pace. They were like dead last in place last year. if they can get out and run some more they can get easier buckets. They won't everything won't have to come in the half court. Setting and julius is wrecking bulletins. Really good in transition I'm i'm kind of. I'm curious to see to hear what you have to say about his defense. Actually i'm kinda. I'm relatively higher on his defense and other other people. Yeah i mean. Last year was his best defensive seasonings career. I thought I think it's like average to slightly above like he may rotations. He's big and also. I got so tired of every if oh like especially towards the end of the year. Everybody was clipping julius. Getting quote unquote hunted in in pick and roll. Like not really. Yeah okay somebody's score..

"Make any illusions about what kind of defensive player evan forty is and remains to be seen just how healthy kemba walker is going to be but just natural improvements from rj barrett and the collection of young players. The knicks half. Dirk rose coming back for another healthy season. I i think the knicks are i. Guess the question is what do you put the knicks on in the eastern conference in that second wave I think the question is like how many teams are in that. Second wave I don't even know where you would put philly in a normal situation if simmons were there and there weren't those issues but i guess you've got brooklyn and you certainly got milwaukee there michael i think sounds like he would have brooklyn and then everybody else. I think the knicks are probably the back end of that second wave and the weird thing is that them and i think a couple of other teams in the east. I think the bulls are one of them. Where you get people who have them ranging anywhere from like you know maybe as high as third or fourth which that seems a little high to me but you have some people that think you know including the fivethirtyeight model. I don't have to defend it. Maybe vigorously as before. I never did really defend it. Even when i was there before but it has them out of the playoffs That could happen. Maybe has the lakers are the playoffs to which that's the one that really is I don't see that one But anyway looking at the knicks. I think what's interesting is that they could be a lower c- than they were last year and still be a better team first of all. I think once you've made the playoffs after that long of a layoff you're happy just to get back but i think at this point you wanna get further than you did last year. That's the priority. I think the roster that they built certainly losing alfred. Peyton getting kemba walker. Getting evan i think certainly addresses some of the stuff that was wrong last year There's all the reason in the world that thinks that the knicks might regress. Julius randle shot like crazy the the staff that still crazy to me. I think of the thirteen guys that saw the biggest jump in volume three point shooting. The knicks had four those guys in the league And they were like number two number three number nine and number. Twelve in terms of the biggest jump was rose bullock Rj and julius so there are two best players included in that so they could certainly regress. But i think the one thing that i would hold out hope for. If i'm a knicks man is that you also recognize the julius randle and rj. Barron had much tougher shots last year as the guys that had to have the ball in their hands. Now you add a couple of guys that can handle the ball in the starting lineup. You would hope that those shots become easier for them so maybe they regress a little bit from last year which was a crazy year and people have questions about the sight lines.

"He was like the best player in the public is like putting up LeBron numbers. Um and he's in the last year of his contract. And highly motivated to have a good year because the free agent classes so thin next year. But seriously like T. J Warren is going to be. I mean, all the other season plays out DJ one could be a top five free agent next year. I'm not kidding. So he's highly incentivized to play. Really? Well, I just don't know if that foot is going to hell. Foot injury is not good. Um But you know, here's the thing about the Knicks and actually, I don't want I feel like I'm going to still pull this thunder here because I know that they overachieve last year, Pelton. But did the nicks not? I mean, I realize they're not going to be a championship team this year, but the Knicks not Add talent to this roster, tell They definitely did. I mean, You know they Again. It's as I mentioned the Hawks. I don't think it's the linear. Will you take last year's the fourth best team in the East and then upgrade? No, They're not been 48. Yes, we know that That's not true Upgrade Evan Fournier and Campbell Walker on Alfred Peyton and Reggie Bullock offensively. I, But I do think that they have solidified themselves is a playoff team and and right there with the other teams in the script, and like I said, I have them actually at the top of this tier of teams. I certainly would not be. I certainly would not be surprised if that happens. I've talked a bunch on here over the past couple months. It really did like the fact they got coming up to 48. They also did have a lot of guys have a career years or really exceed what they did before last year, And to me, it's just so pricing in a little bit of That a Jewish Randall could come back to Earth a little bit. Derrick rose, even if joyous trailer Even if Julius Randle comes back to Earth a little bit he still good, like, even if he's not quite the player was right, for sure. Not certainly not trying to say he'll be He'll be terrible or anything. He's good. He's a very good player. But like They could have. They were way above their water last year, the water level last year I think they could come back down. Something look like we saw last year. Cambodia, you know, had some issues with the knee struggle to stay on the court, like if he comes back at his can block from a couple years ago. They're going to be really good. If he was kind of struggling to stay on the court, and Derrick Rose misses a handful of games. It doesn't look like you did have to trade like their offense could really struggled at times, so I wanna talk. I want to talk about Portland for a second. So they were the second straight year really retrofitted their role players on their roster. Um and obviously hiring Chauncey Billups. We just don't know what he's going to do. But we have to. I have to assume knowing Chauncey there, he's going to make an effort to improve defensively. I realized what Dame Lillard out there. Your point of attack defense is going to be somewhat hampered. But they can't be 29th. But they did an interesting thing K p in that trade for Larry Nance, which I think was a really good edition, assuming he stays healthy because he is a very valuable defender in this day and age. The way that they protected that First round pick that they sent out to ended up in Chicago. They can't trade anymore. First round picks for the short term future just their encumbered so really their ability to make a home runs type move. For a day in which is what game was looking for, has been hamstrung short of trading. McCollum, I think at this point And obviously there's been 1000. McCollum trades proposed, but one thing I would point out if you trade to Jim McCollum. If your team is going to improve, you have to get a player back better than C. J. McCollum and that I mean, there are those players exist, but it's hard to do that. And while Dame I think his steps back from the precipice of His displeasure with his with the future of the team. Um They need to be very good this year. They need to be at the top of this tear. Um You know Otherwise, I think we're going to see Lillard stuff. Start to bubble back up again, Pelton. I mean, they might need to be in a tier above this When you look at the way that Damian Lillard is talking, I mean, You know, part of his frustration was losing to a Denver team that was so you know, clearly banged up and we saw exactly how limited they were in the next round against Phoenix. But Yeah, There's always go for that role. Sons and four I believe it. What is it? Yes, it did. There's always gonna be someone in that role.

"Well, that's a good reason to not like it. That's fair. And he's on the last year. I think he can be dead. He's on the last year of his rookie deal too, so he's about to get expensive. I would have rather had the 29th overall pick than sham it. Yeah. Okay, I buy that. I buy that. I think I think that when you're a team in Phoenix's situation where you do have two young players, three, if you want to include Booker at this juncture, you still young, even though he's experienced, but when you have guys like ate and bridges like I don't know, we'll see what happens with the contract, but I like the concept of having a buying in on something that is a better known commodity now to help you this season. Like you don't need to develop a future superstar. You got to. Maybe that's probably overstating it with bridges, but I do really do like I really do like bitches this game. I think he's great. Is this team better or worse? They will be better through internal growth. The question is, can they beat the Lakers in the playoffs? We'll see. I'll be interested. It'll be a hell of a series. Man, that'll be a fun one. Last year, it's gonna be even more fun this year. Yeah, healthy Lakers. That's the barometer for Phoenix at this point. Can they beat the Lakers healthy? I don't know. We'll see. My goodness how things have changed. I mean, can you imagine having this conversation last year? They will go into that series with real confidence because they beat the Lakers last year and I'm fascinated to see if they can do it. Do it again. The warriors present a fun series. Denver presents a really fun series, Jamal Murray's back. The west is going to be so fun this year in the playoffs. Like, it's gonna be a bloodbath. Yeah. Phoenix, though, is Phoenix gonna win like the equivalent of 57 games. Again, this year, I don't know if only because I think that the west is probably gotten a little honestly the west is probably gotten a little bit worse if only because San Antonio looks like it's gonna drop off a little bit. The clippers probably drop off a little bit. The nuggets drop off in the regular season a little bit without Jamal. I'm still not worried about maybe the kings in the pelicans get better, but you know, they probably do win something like 55 games again. Now that I think about it. So I mentioned it to see how much Chris Paul plays. Yeah. We'll see where they land. Like I think there's a chance that they got too good backups, Alfred Peyton and Cameron painter good players, man, but you don't want to, you know, if those are your two point guards for half of the season, you're not a 56 win team. You're probably 51 win team. We'll see what they do. But they are established good. Does this sound familiar? You've got one device that lets you catch the game live. Another that lets you.

"Venues open up though bill. But i'll be able to play. I can't believe you can't throw your weight around enough over there to try to do that. Get the game moved up. The facility is not available. You can find another facility. You know what this is your problem solve problems. Don't stop you you solve problems. Yeah but you know what. I basically put a lot of this on my nephew this year. So he's he's he's blue is just so painful. You tried to pass the torch down drying and like so for example like when you pass the torch down to garner the foundation. He took it and just ran with amazing job. Just fully all in just tremendous right. You passed the wasp torch down to randy. I try grounded foot on fire now. Now there's what do you think should be playing from five along asking. The guys on the team should be playing. They should be playing. I'm like no no no. That's not how it works. Come on randy. Let's go so it's all this nonsense. Sputnik thing so that's not breaking news. I'm still on the team. It's still might team. You know it's just a question of when i can play. Yeah all right ally on long island. let's love eli. hey Speaking about tonight's game. I know the starting lineup came out. But i hope rose and gibson's back on the bench because i think that's been destroying us in game three four. Yeah i mean so. He had two things happened. One obviously noelle's injury which put him to the bench and limited minutes. The other thing was that Sibito said finally enough with alfred peyton. I wouldn't hate it if i saw them. Go back to what they did. Most of the regular season. Now i know for peyton was was not good. Don't get me wrong but you know as boomer brought up the other day. This team was used to playing that west. Certain way it had success. You know that way for a long period of time. Tips freaked out and somebody at. I'm telling you somebody the garden said look we gotta get paid off the court because knick fans are screaming and yelling about him but you know at the end of the day. I also tips. Listen the also. I simply you know. Ten should be doing what he what he thinks is doing. I listen to the fan. He's what i'm saying. He's listening to somebody in the garden. You know it could be somebody in you know the higher ups the the analytics fans know what talking about the fans. My other thing too is like i know alfred payton hadn't played great and you wonder about his confidence and tipo knows obviously better than we do. Any nosy inner workings of the team better than we do. My point was. You're playing a point guard. Who is going to drive. Who's ever covering him crazy. And you can have that. You don't have one guy to do that. So it's got to be a collaborative collective effort to try to stop him and in order to do that. You have to spread the minutes out. And whoever they're putting on him is having an adverse effect on that players offense at the other end of the court even though trae young's terrible defender go all night long right. Add whoever resigned. Get the ball to one..

"He's one of those things like they hang in. Then miss a bunch of and the hawks star hitting their threes. The nick can't keep up then their down fourteen. And then that's that that's what it feels like. You know again you know. There is one criticism that tom thibodeau has. And it's been with them wherever he's been as a head. Coach is that he rides horses and he rides them all the way through the game and we are seeing the effects of that especially now with an older team. I'm sorry it's just it's just happened. That's the thing panicked y again. I'm assuming that it's not just him. i'm. I'm assuming that. Aaron boone is not just aaron boone. It's not just louis row hostage not just gioja not going to be. Just you know any any coach for that matter. The fact is collectively. They all decide who should play. Who shouldn't play it's analytics driven and all this other crap. But they got away from their rotation. And i and i can hear all the knick fans out there saying right now you know boom. You don't know what you're talking about because you know they they should have taken for payton out out of the lineup. We all wanted alfred. Peyton taking the problem is is that you've now changed the team that we saw the end of the season and the rotations and you're asking older players to play against a young phenom who was shot out of a cannon who's impossible to cover for anybody on this team now if you gotta get a cover late in the game you could do that you. You could try to do that. And they tried with. Neil akina trial with burks. They're trying with their grows trying with quickly. They're trying to move guys around and take some of the pressure off of these older guys but the older guys are are now feeling the heat on the other end of the court. they're exhausted. they're exhausted. Run over at this kid. And by the way. Nate mcmillan has been great as a coach in this particular series because he got drilled after game two for not putting trae young in the game and they could have easily won that game two by the way But since then those two games down atlanta his defence is basically shutdown. Julius randle we had joys random rj barrett have been completely awful. They have been in this series. And i know that this has been a fun year and all the good stuff that we have talked about but to end this way and i hope it does not in five games and i hope they don't lose it then they'll come out and play but i was saying i mean i had so much confidence in game four. There were to come out especially the game three ended. They were getting a little testy with one. Another is in. This team's gonna come out and they're going to tie the series up and they'll come back to game five the garden and they. It was worse than was down over. Twenty points for all these secondhand. say this. You could say whatever you want about the next there. There's nothing like played hockey. I swear to god we'll get to that coming up a little bit. I mean at that last night was was incredible. Goes to show you just how much they miss. Casey zeke's last year and the bubble when he got hurt.

It's gonna be absolutely spectacular and the new york islanders offense of explosion knocks the penguins out at the coliseum. This is what we envisioned things. The be hope it got to a place where we could start getting together and celebrate. The garden was last night with the coliseum was last night during the game after the game the scenes of people in st net bars going crazy because their teams one playoff games. It was as good as it gets. Good morning our. Yeah you're born in you know today's gilbert it's gonna be you know getting started on a feel-good weekend after those two games last night and You know camille garden was totally sold out. I don't know about you i was. I didn't see any empty seats like a why. Why do they have empty seats at the coliseum. They believe me they could sell every seat of the coliseum and both fan bases were insane last night. The the islander fans were incredible from start to finish. They'd never stopped and what did. Just what an unbelievable performance and the performance that sticks out in that particular series is cindy crosby's and how they bottled him up and how he was minus three of them on the night. And i know anthony beauvillier got beat by jeff carter on defense so to lead to the penguins first goal but then he came back and that kid really. I'm telling you he is like balancing off the tv. You know he's out there that puck finds him you know and he and his linemates nelson and bailey had an unbelievable night last night and it was great to see it. It was great to just see the fanciest. And saying you're right. I mean when you watch these games and you watch the knick fan you watch the islander fans and you watch how they are reacting to their teams just goes to show you how long this pandemic has been and what a pain in the acid is has been these fan bases and on part of one of them anyway and my son in law plays the other team. It's just incredible to watch. It's just it's not. Neither one has stopped. And now like i said i think the nick fan is still young defense right now this morning. Yeah there's they could still be out in the street. i mean. They spilled out into the streets last night after the game. There's videos of people screaming and chanting. Stop what we need around here especially for the knicks. The knicks are a new york team. I don't care. And i know the nets are great and i know they're probably gonna wanna championship but new york the knicks or new york's team. I don't care what anybody says. In a new york knick franchise just raises the morale everybody around here and you can see that again last night. Now i will say again. What do i hate in the nba of the three point shot right and last night again. It was a. It's a three point shot vest and let's face it. Atlanta missed a lot of open shots in the second half. Yeah they missed the therapies. And that's about as simple as that. It comes down to whether or not you know bogdonovich or gallinari or williams or one of those guys is going to be dropping three trae young. Are they going to be dropping threes. If they are they're they're basically you're going to have a hell of a time trying to beat them but last night they were off and they were off. 'specially late in the game and the knicks found a little bit touch. They found they got to the free throw line last night and know. Julius randle found his game finally in the second half it's just been a grind for him. You know it's just been really grind for him and they're trying to do everything they can to take him away and i understand that but great. Assist the taj gibson late in the game last night. That was great. You saw bullock and you saw and you saw burks finally get involved a little bit. But again i to me. I watched i gave him last night. It's missed a lot of three. They did and it wasn't all the knicks defense. Next defense was better than it was in game one but there was just there was open shots. That were missed. I mean bogdonovich win ice cold and he didn't stop shooting he was just getting the ball. He was even enough there and it didn't matter he was trying to get back on track to missing and missing missing and the hawks built their lead. They got it up to fifteen in the first half because they were hitting those threes. I mean there was one point where they were over fifty percent from three early on in the game and then that completely changed. Sometimes you break down these games and there's a lot of intricacies last night. It was basically julius. Randle woke up. And the hawks missed a bunch of shots. Now that's happened. Reggie bullock also was great. Not only offensively but defensively. He did the best job on trae young out of anybody so foreign to games. Twelve of twenty two from three point. Land that's That would be the atlanta hawks. Face it trae young still. He still had his numbers east. He still get out of. It was the first half. I know that but again he is going to get guys open shots and if they hit them. They're going to win if they don't Then they lose the game. I bet you there. They impact on their playing last night. They probably watch the video. The players like to do this now on the ipads and all that other stuff and they're just looking at it. That's an open three missed. That's an open three missed. That's an open three missed. That's they've literally had like ten open. Threes missed weren't even close. Well that's the way they play it away a lot of teams play and they're going to run into games like this and you gotta take advantage and you hope that. There's a couple more for the hawks. A couple more duds where they end up going ice cold from three. But there's probably going to be another game in this series where they continue throughout the entire game like there were the first app. Let's hope that there's not but that's really the up and down nature and that's one of the reasons why i love the knicks coming into this series because of their consistency. They don't rely on that. They're not one of those teams that has to have that spectacular hot shooting night to win a basketball game by the way the last five minutes of the game. Did you see who is on the court for the last five minutes last. Five minutes of the core of the all the veterans. All the veterans were out there. This is the starters other than alfred. Peyton is what it was right right so but he. There was no quickly. There was no top and you know and quickly is great but you know it gets a little haywire again. And he'll he'll he'll bama three and if it goes in great if not he'll throw it he'll have turn over he's just he's he's not refined yet energy. Yes and when it's going infirm and it's working. It's it's exciting but you saw you. You had to have you had to have alec burks have reggie bought. You had to have those guys on the court. Derrick rose again just an awesome awesome night and you know you could just see. He's like turn back the hands of time as long as it doesn't have to play trae young as long as he can stay away from him. It's fine and that's and that's one of the reasons. Why i think typically just kept all those guys out there you when you when i saw that team on the on the court last night last five minutes as julius randle and a bunch of just hard core. Nba players as taj gibson. It's it's desert. Rose it's alec burks reggie ball and it's it's him yeah well wasn't he was not so. I wasn't orders because taj gibson was out there who played more minutes than we've seen him play because neurons and well not one hundred percent and taj gibson was great. He was absolutely great telling you. I mean he's telling you that these are the guys that he trusts in crush time. Yeah he put his best veteran. Nba sharp shooting defensive. Playing hard core. You know a valuable veterans that are playing major important minutes at the at the at the end of the game and that he did not want. He's not gonna put neilan keen out there again. He's not gonna put payton out there again. He's not gonna put quickly out there again in situations like that where they have the lead sure He was locked down time. It was down time and make everything hard for trae young. Try to double them a couple times. I thought they had them doubled. And they call that one Foul on on on reggie bullock in come.

"Is this knicks negatively. Trying to throw me now. Why they mark bergman wrote an article. He talked to japan gun and they were talking about. You know how the next season unfolded who they played. How tiptoe went into every game and really coached his ass off and japan. Gundy is very nice and very respectful to ask former coaching mate but he was also trying to be realistic. And saying you know look on paper. The atlanta hawks are better team than the knicks. That's what he says on paper. Now you as a knick ban wanted to see the hawks because you felt like you know what they don't really they don't have the big man in the middle that has given. The knicks just fits all year long other options were. The miami heat went to the finals last year. In a milwaukee bucks who were the one seed last two years the three seed this year and have yana. So no one wanna see. Those are the two teams right and you know and talked about how much run both r. j. berry's and julius erving god and how they who's random random guy. They both had the most time on the court this year. jewish was one rj barrett was number two in the nba the entire mba. So they played a lot. Well okay. okay. They're both young men and they're both trying to make a name for themselves and they wanna play. But it also i to me. The undercurrent of this is going to be the mismatch that trae young presents to the dixon. Their point guards. They're gaggle of point guards. That are all going to have a shot at trying to defend trae young. And they're going to have. An antipasto will come up with some plan. I guarantee you where he will try to manage the game either. Be at the time outs The depth of the players asking guys like the kennedy get involved and yes alfred. Peyton may get involved not to the point where he's going to be out there for significant minutes but they're all going to have to do what they've done all season long and that means collectively come together and try to beat what jeff van gundy says is a better team on paper. But didn't the knicks. They one season series against the hawks. Three they beat them. Every time macmillan got changed in the middle of the season but now it's a different hawks. He's going on paper on paper. The team hasn't changed roster wise all that. But i know what he's talking about..

They sat him out. And i was listening to tom after the game last night talking about that and they asked him specifically was at a sprained ankle. What's going on. He played thirty. Nine minutes against the lakers had the flight back. And everything else. So i think dirk should be fine and they also knew that they were getting out burks back and i'll burks now all of a sudden well shows up and we talk. He's been great all year and he has been a he's been a part of the dept aspect of the knicks. And this is where depth pays off. Especially when you're playing as a team that doesn't have 'em bead or to compo- or davis or somebody like that in the middle or or kevin durant run around out there like a gazelle at seven feet. Sure so so now. This guy comes back and he has his night of nights right when the knicks needed it most and it was great and i think when you took a look at alfred peyton and quickly. They couldn't shot good shot at all. And i think they combined for like twenty two or twenty three minutes and then outburst all of a sudden takes over at the point and he looks like he's playing there all year long. And this is the thing about tom. Tippett and maybe even a perry and all. It's gonna be leon as well. They have good basketball players. I'm must sitting here saying that. They have great best parts. Maybe julius randle on the cusp of greatness maybe r. j. barrett's on his way to greatness. Who knows what quickly will be. Who knows what mitchell robinson won't be long term but they have a lot of really good seasoned basketball players who are buying into a team. I concept that is like so refreshing. For all of us as nick benz especially as knick fans who remembered the reds holzman next and who remember the pat riley nixon who remember The japan gundy knicks. I can't remember a team watching the team every day. In new york in recent memory that has so few players that get a lot of minutes of playing time that you dislike and don't want to see out there. I think the knicks fan base basically of all the people that play elford peyton is the one guy that knicks fans have a little bit of a problem with. That's it everybody else that plays you'll love. Because they are maxing out what their roles are on this team. In general i mean. Think about it the yankees. They're still win two three in tampa. There's many guys you could point fingers. That was off the mets thing. Guys you could point fingers at even when they're winning but with the knicks there's really nobody to dislike just so good. Everybody produces all the time. Nobody says this is well..

Punches it away. He comes in. He did everything he could South get up there and slam it down. And he ran by typical hospital. Peyton just can't shoot. Your point guard has to shoot and I don't know what they're going to do. We'll see how good Thibodeau was you. Another thing is quickly is not. I was saying this earlier. Spike quickly is not. I thought he was gonna be a shooting guard like a traditional I know, but I thought he was going to be a traditional spot off to guard who could obviously make a play off the dribble, create his own shot. He's been different, though. He's running the point. Sometimes he has bad shot selection, though he's just chucking up these stories. I know we could hit him, but maybe with someone I'll hang up and listen. I'm trying to figure out the combination of what quickly shot looks like it is. It's somewhere between Kevin Martin and Sean Marry in the release. He's got such a quick, You're right. He's got such a quick that marrying was an ugly both of them marrying and and Martin. Yeah. Yeah, I just I don't know if it's Yeah, maybe Maybe that's more So the case it's just it's a quick release Look, and he's one of the few Nick's shooters. And thanks for the call, Spike. Good luck with the move. And by the way you you will write on Tom Brady. You can't bet against him. I mean, Jeezy ever. Never Never remove your back role ever Never bet against Tom Brady ever. You're doing. But something with quickly. I don't want see bothers me. He's not a traditional point guard. Nor is he a two guard. A traditional to guard is kinda in between that he can shoot. Sometimes I don't want his shot selection and he's got an awkward looking shot. But who cares what it looks like a song that goes down? The floater is perfection. I mean, that is a thing of beauty. Love his energy, love the effort. Both ends of the floor floater. Tremendous. I don't love his shot selection. And you talk about Alfred Peyton. Not being a shooter at point guard, which I would say normally is fine. But you're right in today's game. You can't have that. I like Peyton because he plays defense. He's solid. He's a sound player. He just he does get to the rim. He just can't finish and it is infuriating. Watching that. They need more shooters. It's planning simple. In today's game. That's what you need, whether the next play old school or not, and they do play old school. This is not just me being an old school fan missing that being an old school guy. That is their style. I mean, you look at it points in the paint, that's what they do. I always said this because the NBA the last you know, 10 years or so has gotten away from maybe even longer than that, But it's got away from what I knew it to be. And that was the simple philosophy of The Closer you get to the basket. The higher chance you have or higher percentage you have of making the basket. So that used to be the point of the game to get the balls close to the basket as you possibly can. For a high percentage shot. In other words, if you had no defenders just say all the defenders for whatever reason were trapped and couldn't Defend their own basket and you're running up the open floor. It used to be. You would take the lay up or take the dunk. Now, I don't know guys might start pulling up from three It's not about the high percentage shot anymore. Cause threes. What the way these guys shoot him now have become a higher percentage shot. Now it's still not a high percentage as a dunk, obviously or lay up, but you get the point. What the Knicks still go old school with vivid Oh, trying to get the ball as close to the rim. It's possible the guards penetrate. They attack. They draw the defenders. They feed to the big man or they just attack and try to draw the foul or get to the rim period. Mid range jumpers. I mean, the floaters. And they shoot minimal threes because that's not their skill set, however, the way the league is gone. You're gonna need to open it up a bit more at times, and they could use some more clothes is no question about it. I mean, Randall, while he has had a great year, he's still not that closer. That's a Jimmy Butler is a spike mentioned. That's why I like the addition of Derrick Rose here. No, He's not a great shooter, either, but he can close and in a final possession, attacked the rim, and it's nice to have two options with him and Randall. Quickly is not there yet. Barrett. You know the other night missed the free missed a lamb. That was a tough lay up. The defense made him have a bad angle, but that's the lay up. He's got to make to tie that game and get it over time. That was on when was that on Tuesday night in Miami. I like watching this next team. I'm anyone. They're making me fall in love with basketball again. I like their style. It's fun to to watch both them and the Nets because it's complete opposites. The Nets make you salivate when you watch the way that those guys get to the rim of those guys shoot drip with skill position. I mean, forget it's off the charts. And that's even without Durant. Durant there forget it. Hardened Durant, Kyrie the way they get to the free throw line, make their free throws. Shoot the threes. I mean, the incredible Next level. The next don't have that. However, they do have the team unity and.

"I think that's the wrong move to me. I gotta be honest. It feels like tommaso reaching for a security blanket. Wanted another one of his old guys and fine but again. I don't know that this really moves the needle for the knicks short-term not certainly doesn't long-term debt grows isn't part of their future and so it. I don't hate it a- just don't quite get it. I'm a little curious. Why dirk rose wanted to be back in new york to say his one season was it in new york was a disaster. Disaster is an understatement. I mean there was a lot of off the court stuff. He quite literally quit on the team. During that season like that was a big story during that sixteen seventeen season and in the aftermath of that year most people believed that his career was either over or on the cusp of being over. Now he revitalized it in minnesota in detroit to his credit. I mean he figured some things out. He became a better three point shooter. Those things all work in his favor. But i'm a little surprised. That derrick rose wanted to go back to new york. I do think like. I think he's a better player than alfred peyton. You can certainly make the argument that he might be more reliable than some austin rivers and. I do think it's valuable having somebody that you trust like typical clearly trusts. Derrick rose and vice versa. And i also. Don't howard believe that it's it's not nothing to make a run of the playoffs because if you have all these young guys getting into the playoffs has value. Not one of those teams in position where it's like. Wow gone to the playoffs. Big deal that get beat in the first round. Now where do they go there. So capped out they have so many bad contracts this a young team with no bad contracts that getting playoff experience for those young guys. I think matters. It just comes down to. Will we see derrick. Rose as we've seen in years past play more to guard in the spot. Will we see him alongside quickly as opposed to replacing him at that position. I think that's certainly possible. Derrick rose at minnesota played alongside jeff teague did the same thing with other point guards in chicago. I'm not buying into the leadership thing either. I don't know you know me. Whatever i just but i do think as a player he can bring some value into that mix of watching these next few weeks you know is quickly still getting all the rotation minutes that he's earned or do we see tom tippett. Oh because he wants to win so badly. Go back to as you said the security blanket and play. Derrick rose. Well i will just had one of the thing on that ties into what you were alluding to without derrick. Rose's first time in new york which is derrick. Rose was pretty bald. Dominant that season now. Maybe that's among the things. He has reformed the last couple of years. But i was told at the time that among porzingus grievances was the fact that derek rose was dominating the ball too much porzingus wasn't getting enough opportunities..

"A couple of all you know somebody that is that the exact thing that just went through my mind was calling Now they get along your old gang, the town where he looks. He looks Nellie like on long Has he been over to Maui? What? You just decided top has a place in the city. You know, he's got places here. He's got his restaurants here. I don't know if they stayed overnight. But the worry is just just so well coached John and then what they're doing with wise men. And you know he's gonna learn. Obviously, everybody made a big deal about him taking the tomorrow Rosen head fake. That's hard veteran players do that. It's what the bark to Rosen does. But the second time he didn't like, you know, a couple of times you didn't so he'll do it told. You know, Julius Randle may give him on tonight. It's gonna be the growth. He's gonna do it sometimes, and he's not. But the key thing was, I think, Steve kinda Our top pop a little bit, and he put James Wiseman in the dunker position and because he knows Gregg Popovich started this years ago in the embassy when he got Tim Duncan with David Robinson. He would He was the first to bring the double team from the weak side, big and usually on the baseline, and they did it over and over and over again last night with LaMarcus Aldridge, who is not Tim Duncan. Not on board with them ever bringing him in. Ah, that Papa tried to unload them at some point, but he kept him. There's really no alternative with that. And I can't believe the rumors in the offseason the workers that any interest in L. A Hey, would not fit here use clocks things up, He slow footed, But I'm not gonna blame ham in that situation because it's you know, he's supposed to come over and stop the ball. The Spurs did not stop the ball at all. Last night they had Step pops big thing, obviously, and you've got you know Tom Thibodeau Thibodaux tonight and chips and their defense and they're gonna put Alfred Peyton on staff and the box would want him. They just to give up trouble dribble penetration like that. You can't do that. Then you start scrambling and LaMarcus Aldridge is the he's the Dubler comment from the weak side. The weak side big from the baseline. And there you go, James Wiseman, just take it and dunk it, And he did it over and over and over again last night, and then they get through him. Lobs. You know, Aldridge did figure I can't leave this guy. So just go. Javale McGee, Elevation sensation. A vertical spacing threw the ball a pie. Let him go up and Duncan. He played a terrific game last night and They are using what I thought they would do to unlock a little bit of step because pop in the second half Wetmore to the Jang ki box and one played him pretty much straight up man in the first half and then tried to Oxen won him a little bit last night with Lani Walker. The fourth he had Lonnie Walker face guarding another four guys. Perfect name for that, just all I've you know. Boxes and elbows all eyes on staff, but they got stuff off the ball. And that second quarter unit that ended the half Kelly Good. Ray Junior was not a part of their They put Wanamaker. On the ball a little bit. Even Strauss will join us from the athletic and he was talking about a lineup change. I don't know if you had to change the starting lineup. They're changing the way they rotate and to get staff off the ball. They are going to face guard make guys you know, go through a thicket of screens and run people off. So This is a solid staff. I mean, pop is the state of the art in this lake forever and ever and ever. But Steve Kerr, I think more than ever, John is proving that he and his staff and he's got a great staff. The headliners Air Mike, obviously. And Ron. This is a really good coaching staff. But I think for the first time, really not that they didn't have to coach the first five years. Of course they did. But they had great talent. Now they're kind of really in the end BA and you got to figure out how to bring in Wiggins. How do you bring it to a Brady Got a young 19 year old big? Yeah, You got stuff and Draymond the guys off the bench, Lee and base more. Even Jordan pulled back into the rotation. You got to be impressed with the warrior coaching staff and what they what they've gotten out of this team to start the year. No doubt Great win last night against San Antonio. As you said the Knicks Tonight, we'll get more into the game itself, James Wiseman, and they Progress he made plus the Oakland Forever a jerseys in court. We gotta get into that as well.
