"Strides this season had a lot of fun. Watching the Knicks. Very proud of them turned things around, became a professional franchise for the first time in a long time. As evidenced by their first winning season since 2012 2013 Julius Randle made the All Star team. He was awarded the NBA's most improved player as well. Unanimously, couple weeks back and last night. Well, I'm thrilled, and I believe that certainly Top two or top three. You know, you could have made a case for Monty Williams as well. And I was a little surprised when I saw a little me too. When I saw that on social media that fibs wanted, I'm thrilled form and I love them. But Monty Williams could very easily won that either way, Tom pivotal, named the coach of the year, so Nixon had a lot of accolades and positive energy. Tom Thibodeau was more important this season is a good question. This season to the next turnaround. Tom Thibodeau created a culture that we've talked about for months now, and Julius Randle was kind of a loss like star in the NBA potential star because he wasn't a story is a lost potential star. In the NBA for his first three years in the league, and this system suited him perfectly. And I think the discipline of this system was what he needed. And to me, Dibbs made a lot of Eliminated from some lemons, especially with the roster that he that he that he had this year an age. Derrick Rose, etcetera, etcetera. So some injuries Mitchell Robinson, exactly. I want to stay in bounds. This is on tips. He deserved the coach of the year, but Monty Williams is still playing. Mhm. Um Mm. This is very tricky for me here. I'm going to say out of bounds. Let us out of bounds Because at the end of the day, it ultimately does come down to players. It does. I get it the way he manipulated their minds and and fostered And not with the negative connotation. Not like jet I'm going to transform you would know, like just You know, emboldening players to actually think that they were. They were important. Nix had a lot of cast offs, and that was a galvanizing thing. You know, Bullock and guys that kind of bouncing around the NBA that really Hadn't had a home. No. Well, you know, I mean, like it was obviously Julius Randle. It was it was. It was a perfect fit, but I've still got.

"Younger nick fan who add experienced no success outside of the carmelo years. If you will which really to us was not success because there are three tiers of knick fans in my opinion and tell me if you agree with this. They're the ones that will like you. Who actually saw them wing championships. Yes then there's ones that like me that grew up with success was the ninety s. Now i a part of that too were but you also have your your main reference point the fact that they have won titles you witness them win. Plus i was a kid. I was very impressionable back then. And then there were the ones like me that my first experience of the knicks success was the ninety s into the ninety four finals. The battles with jordan battles with reggie miller the eljay four point play that era and then there's the younger nick fan that soil. Carmelo come here so then go to the postseason and that was their first taste of success but mostly it has been bad. It's been like since two thousand and two or something from now. Don't tell now but it's been really really bad. They've had a little cup of coffee here or there but just before they got swept by the nets in the playoffs. There's no sustained success. And there's nobody you really get behind. And that's why when the whole jeremy lin phenomenon happened nick vans out of minds. Yeah so the reason. I bring all of this up is that i think that where you come from. In this knicks fan history is how you perceive this type of series where. I know that we haven't had much success but this right here is completely unacceptable for a good knicks team. Now all those years of them not making the playoffs to beat a lottery. Of course that's unacceptable. But when i remember the knicks being good and what. I thought this team to be and we can paired them so much the ninety s knicks. How many times we talk about tom. Pivotal was here with the ninety s. nixon. He's restoring that and he is well he did until now because they they had a guy on the atlanta hawks. Tell them that they were going to send them into vacation. We're gonna go into your building and push around and your fake tough and you're not gonna kick your ass than he it. Yes that's unacceptable. So i just and it's just funny to me that all you know how you crushing the knicks. Now or how. You blaming. Julius randle. I don't know because we want more. That's why because we expect more and we're expected that in the win. The series and one of us really wanted the hawks in this series. Yeah well that is true. I think you did too. I'm not. I wanted them to get the fourth seat..

"Boomer and geo i was doing some swaddled bomb googling after trying to figure out where he was prior to joining the mets organization this past year and now being promoted to hitting coach after the mets decide to fire. Chili davis right after the offense wakes up. But anyway. So hugh quavo bomb was with the seattle mariners. Hugh quantum obama's on twitter. He doesn't tweet a lot but he's on twitter. Joined in may of twenty eighteen. And you know who. Hugh cuanto bombs. Avatar picture is on twitter. It's a picture of somebody. Seattle mariners picture of somebody. Who could that be ken. Griffey junior a good guess. That's a good guess. Not ken griffey. Junior john olerud no it's journal A suzuki each rosa's no it's not each euro. It is not your martinez. Not edgar martinez. Yod eight is none other than the great one of the best. We've seen robinson cano. That is twitter avatar. Funny is that like why is a guy like waddell bomb on twitter tweet a lot know it just gives fans a place to go and just scream at him. Get off of it if i were advising zac. Wilson for instance don't be on social media to offer social media man. Just worry about one thing right now and that is becoming the best quarterback you just sacrifice the next two years to become the best quarterback that you can become. Don't don't get involved in any of that crap. No matter how much you think you wanna be a part of it. How much me. Just stay off of it. Yeah i mean. He has only tweeted twice since november and the last tweet was a tweet he was on. Somebody's podcast and you re tweeted that podcast. Of course he was on. somebody's podcast. Quavo bomb play somewhere. I believe that he did. Yeah is a picture of him in a baseball uniform. Making a catch. I don't know where that was. But the media page or something. I don't know if he's got a wikipedia page. I'm pro baseball reference. Hugh quadrille bomb. I did find his linked in. Does kind of neat these abbreviations. Hq that's neat. Yeah kind of neat q. What would you call them keel. Yeah quavo quat stor. That's what i call them. The the big quat. He's a big guy six four to five big. Hq baby so. Quantum obama career minor leaguer. So he played in only onta. Sometimes those guys make the best coaches yeah. True choi davis's a great player at one point in time for his coach. Guys lacombe but only janta western michigan lakeland and then he was opened ottawa. And frederick so quantum a wrote a book apparently to quad bombing. Yeah so he's he's the new hitting coach. We'll see we'll see or do you really believe a hitting coach. A major league baseball makes that much impact. I think coaches do make impact coaches. Did i think all coaches do every sport. You know maybe. With the exception of the head coach in the nba. Well what about tom. Pivotal this year. Well i think he has definitely made an impact and simply because he. He's got a motivated superstar in julius randle. He's got a rising young star in Rj barrett and then. He has says somebody that he basically has gotten something out of that. nobody expected. And that's derrick rose. Yeah i mean. But i think that a lot of that derek pivotal go way back. So sorta taj gibson who started last night and new orleans was brought in for different reasons to robinson's been hurt. You know outburts has been great. And don't he got hurt last night again. yeah. I think he got hurt. Hopefully that's not too bad. I think if you're a super team you don't need a head coach because you saw. What steve kerr and the warriors and luke walton was in even lose a game barely right. I mean i think. That's where i still think coaches definitely have impact as long as they had the respect of the players in every sport for that matter and i don't know maybe they lost respect for chile. I don't know so you really think that quavo bombs got a shot at coming in here and turn this thing around for the mets. You think the big quad gonna come right in here and next thing you know. Mets are gonna skyrocket average. Six runs a game. I mean i think hitting coaches. It's really about the individual. I mean don't you think francisco been told just about everything but again sunday night. They were showing francisco endure in batting practice. An era just went off on it and said this is not what i would be doing. He's struggling i'm not. I don't have him swinging for the fences in in batting practice and all that stuff so there isn't approach that is taken and maybe quavo bomb. We'll have a different approach when he is talking to franscisco endure. Maybe that's what this whole thing is about. That's all. I don't know how that relationship i'm just thinking that's if you're wide receiver and you have a wide receiver coach and wide receiver. Coach is telling you how to run routes how to get into route how to get outta routes. You know what you're looking for. How you're trying to read defenses and things of that nature. Maybe that's exactly what the hitting coach is doing for the baseball player. All right. let's take a couple of calls tom. Wilson going absolutely insane on boots knavish and pinera and last night should be suspended for an extended period of time. It's amazing to me. Capitals broadcast didn't say a word about of thought there were no issues with it. The capitals media barely asked about it after the game. The coach said. Oh yes not much there. You know what. I mean stuff happens all going to say that because they know how come on there but they know he's on a short leash and that he can get suspended and then half the league is going to be screaming for it. We think that's fine. You know what i'm saying like you think everybody's watching this is stupid. You don't see it. I mean david quinn said it right. We all saw in the nhl is gonna see. You can't just brush this under. The rug is not not video of this everywhere. I saw one video of this morning. It's got almost a million views when you think the last time that an nhl game from the night before there was a play or a moment and then a million views overnight. You doesn't happen. He's throwing around the nats of the rangers. Yeah that's a that's an issue just took. Your best player slammed him to the ground by. Could you imagine if arranger did that ovechkin well number one. They wouldn't be so bad she wouldn't allow it. Yeah or sidney. crosby right. He wouldn't allow it either. Or i don't know if honors lee was healthy at that he wouldn't allow it either all right. Let's go to riley in bridgeport connecticut. What's going on riley. Hey how you doing. what's happening. Great in middle island is going on. Anthony guys boomer preface. I'm an island. A fan and i was watching that because his in between periods of the alma game. I was interested in the game. My blood was boiling. What what needs to happen with this guy boom forget about the league suspending them so in the league needs to take matters into their own hands with this guy. Way clark gillies did the dave schultz in the seventies. That needs to happen to this guy. 'cause this guy's a punk and a boeing and and someone needs to take one at him and do some serious damage. I know anthony. I know i understand. You're thinking that's how i used to think when it was back in the seventies and it was the broad street but they played like this guy like an idiot but the nhl is not that nhl anymore in the nhl. Doesn't want that. As much as i would love to see my son in law. Go after the guy. It's not what they want you know. They're trying to get away from this kind of crap. Oh you know what that means. Though that means that if the players believe that the nhl didn't do enough and they'll go after then they will. So that's why the nhl has to do more. Brian shirley my walk up to slap him in the face. I don't know before. In pre-game warmup. Or something i have no idea because there's nobody on the rangers that will do anything now. One thing i feel like you're bothered by that than the fact that tom wills did what he did. I think you're more disappointed in your team in.

Tom Thibodeau pitches Jimmy Butler on rejoining Timberwolves
"This Jimmy Butler thing is just getting crazier and crazier. You all know by now. Mr. Butler sat down with Tom timid. Oh, Andy, worry. I'm the Timberwolves front office and said, I wanna get traded. And then Tim dove was like, nah, we don't really. Trade you. We're not taking any offers. Now the reports are from, whoa, JR. Check this out till general manager. Scott Layden had been shutting down trade inquiries for Butler in recent days. And Taylor has demanded that late Nali take calls up potential deals, but reach out to initiate conversations. League sources said, this is all really get spicy. Here you need Taylor in that is Glenn Taylor, the owner of the of the temples. So the owner of the timber wolves is now telling his employees that they need to not only take trade requests calls, but to reach out and make initiate trade talks with other teams. What does that tell you about where everyone's heads at in the front office in Minnesota one starts with the owner and it goes back to what I've talked about on this program for months. There clearly was a fracture and you had to pick a side either you on the same team as Jimmy Butler at Tom pivotal who they gave fifty billion dollars to oversee. Basketball operations and the Costa team, or you were on the side of Karl Anthony towns. He ironically signs a supermax deal. As soon as they start talking about Jimmy bullard's being traded, I'm like, he didn't wait to this week like soon as they start talking about trained Jimmy Butler. He was like outside, I'll stay and they already paid as you wings. So that fracture clearly was there.
