Catch up on the the roommates with with Brunson and Josh Hart you know that’s been good uh you know getting some sleep yeah that’s a that’s a big one try always good always good always move my son into his own room finally so that that’s a big milestone okay yeah big big

Step big step man and and um I I I tapped into that Griselda series on Netflix Man O I’ve been on that giselda series heavy that’s it I don’t got I don’t got time for much come on bar barely for I mean that’s awesome but I’m sure there’s other stuff that you’re

Doing too I barely got time for that because half the time I’m trying to get through each episode I’m falling asleep on it so then I got to catch up the next day and then the next day and the next day so it’s take me a little while to

Get through so you’re like me yeah takes me about three weeks to get through a six episode series because my ass is always on the couch sleeping but uh nah great series man Sophia vagaro is doing a thing giselda series definitely where it’s at got to check that out it takes

Me like three days to get through one show at this point because I I seem to be falling asleep when there’s no basketball earlier and earlier every day just to catch up but hey you know just like the every Everybody in the league CP we gotta get ready for this uh not

Even a second and a half of the schedule it’s we’re we’re in the final stretch in the final stretch man definitely in the final stretch so we’re going to talk about that but we got to talk about the All-Star game last night East versus West in

Indie and uh you know first and foremost with the starting lineups they they came out they saluted our guy Julius our guy Julius got some love early in the uh starting lineups I was happy to see that shout out to yeah shout out to Julius that that was welld deserved honors and

Then you know Brunson got his intro I thought the intros were cool nice you know they had the LED screens and everything uh what TM say in the chat warm up uniforms are looking like bowling shirts yo I tweeted that out yesterday too me and TM are on the same

On the same wavelength right now I I mean good god did we do better for these outfits bro yeah I don’t know whose idea that was but uh even when even when they first came out and I saw them I was like yeah this this ain’t I didn’t know if

They were ready to go to sleep yeah which it looked like they were by the way like act actually after Anthony Edward’s comment it seems like they were all ready to go to sleep yeah we’re gonna talk about that as well so yeah cool lineups cool intro warm-ups were

Were a little lackluster and then uh you know from that point it was just fast forward to where my guy JB gets in the game because once the All-Star Game kicks off and everybody’s just going through the motions even even little man was like that these guys aren’t even

Running I was like Y no they’re not even running they’re not even running so at that point what what’s tip off went through I’m like all right fast forward to Brunson time and J may be you know took him a little while to get into his Groove they were kind of freezing him

Out the typical ball Hogs that definitely was was on this plate but he finished well he he he put on a good show man uh 12 points five dimes a steal four rebounds for JB five of 12 from from the field you know we’re doing our

Key stats of the night good job by JB man in his All-Star debut even had a dunk in the game bro he did he had a DK you know like the All-Star game is really meant for guys who are at this point who I mean it’s just a at this

Point the All-Star game is just a glorified layup line and just pull up from three and yeah you know you’re we’re not going to see the old All-Star game where guys are actually trying to compete and show how great either East or West is I mean what Brunson does well

Doesn’t really fit an All-Star Game using that footwork is would be a little much yeah to say the least I mean maybe maybe the real Allstar games when they actually used to play you know but but these is more more of a you know layup line

Alup kind of thing kind of thing that’s how you describe I don’t even know what you call this man I mean you have Anthony Edwards out here just saying you know it’s not gonna be competive because let me I got the I got the Ant-Man quote

I got the Antman quote so let me uh let me pull it up Salute to everybody in the chat once again hit that thumbs up button for you boys so after the game because the East would go on a win 211 to 186 211 to 186 and D I will just stop

I looked up at like early in the second quarter I saw 97 points yeah I was like what is happening bro it it it became unwatchable within the first three minutes easily easily unwatchable now check out uh first let’s go in on Adam Silva’s reaction in the in the in the

Postgame celebration all right here here’s the commissioner Adam Silva throwing complete shade at the players with with this uh introduction listen to this 200 points points scored and now Adam you U have something for the winning team well thank you Ernie for first of all to the city of Indianapolis

Thank you for the Fantastic Hospitality to Herb Simon he’s owned this team for 41 years the longest standing governor in NBA history thank you very much and to your son Steve as well and to the Eastern Conference All Stars you scored the most points well congratulations Giannis to your team this trophy is

Yours oh my God they all they all felt a shade man they all felt the shade all these gu all these guys looked a shade man you had Giannis looking Jaylen Brown did he didn’t even want to look he didn’t even want to look at the direction of the commissioner because

That said it all man that said it all the well that was it bro yeah and Adam Silver is not one to really criticize the players in that manner so you know you know he was not happy about it I mean if this was David Stern David

Stern would have laid that hammer be like all right guys you imagine David would be like shake hands like good job everybody behind CL doors this was terrible what were we all David stur might have ended the game early at halftime like yo we can’t we can’t do this turn this off we

We got to go you know but put on put on you know reruns a masch or something because this you said reruns a mash wow because the this was even the commissioner on the stage that you’re supposed to use to promote the event and and glaze over the whole thing and talk

About how great the fans were all weekend and thank you Indianapolis for your hospitality and the greatest players on the he looked at him he said well and here here’s your trophy and this was another thing as soon as I see this all of a sudden now they have the

Championship trophy for the All-Star team right so they try tried all this stuff they tried East West they tried captains they go back to East West they have the Elum ending score right go back to Jal score now they bringing out trophies because everything you get in a

Trophy now right before you know it the preseason you’re going to have a trophy that’s what I said on Twitter last night the pre-season trophy is coming next so so the funny thing about this was in the midst of the embarrassment you got Giannis and them holding up the the allstar championship

Trophy tough night man tough night oh God tough I mean between that and then giving Dame the Kobe award for the MVP like come on man this is joke nobody wanted any piece of that you know C for weekend that is meant to prop up the event right you from going

From Kenny The Jet Smith to now Adam Silver guys who are like yeah you know know this thing stinks essentially without saying it you can’t what does that say man what does that say for the NBA how like how do you make it better I know you recommended on the NBA report

Doing a one-on-one competition but is that even something that’s going to work because you have to get guys who want to compete and yeah read Anthony Edwards quote man it doesn’t seem like that’s even possible well let all right so I’m gonna play the LeBron uh quote and the

Ant-Man quote back to back and then let then uh let’s react to it man here here’s LeBron James on uh on the lack of comp 186 is uh things we’ve never seen in an All-Star Game you know that Adam and others from the league had talked about making it

More competitive is this what players want though is this you think what fans want too um I don’t know I I think something we need to figure out um you know I don’t know I don’t know where’s the median because this is what this is

What a lot of the games are starting to look like now too you know we wanted to you know um get more you know more Pace to the games we want to get more shots we wanted the game to be more free flowing um we stopped letting the game

Be um you know freedom of movement a lot of freedom of movement now and that’s what a lot of our games is in the regular season now they let us tighten up in the postseason um so it’s a it’s a deeper dive into a conversation of how

We can um sh up this game um obviously from a players perspective you know it’s fun to get up and down but at the end of the day our competitive nature don’t like just being able to just have free flowing scoring like that so yeah yeah LeBron really tried to sit

Here and break it all down for you scientifically well you know you know this is the kind of the speed of the game and where the game is going as he takes as he takes a 50-footer from half Court I can’t even take him seriously in that bowling shirt I really try to break it down and teach like yo LeBron come on man come on man of all it looks like he just finished playing uh going to whatever local alley in Indiana with Pete Weber and them yeah

Looks like he’s ready to check out his shoes well you know uh I mean it’s that’s you kind of see the same thing in the regular season no this is not no LeBron no no all right go ahead there’s more defense in this way more defense in this way

More defense now let’s uh let’s go to um that’s a good great question um I think for me it’s an All-Star game so I don’t think it it I will ever look at it like being super competitive it’s always fun um but I don’t know what they can do to

Make it more competitive I don’t know I think everyone looks at it it’s like it’s a break so I don’t think nobody want to come here and compete oh man damn bro it’s like man bro can we go back to the 80s the 90s damn STP the fact that Ant-Man is

Saying that we see this as a break tells you how everyone Peres this weekend and yeah it didn’t even have to come to this game right you could have looked at the rising star like n was it the the the skills challenge you go get the skills challenge you have Scotty bars not

Handling the ball correctly as he’s tried to dribble up Court going around like dummies this is just ridiculous man yeah I mean you also have him also throwing like a back three-point shot so that tells you how much he cares to try to win so this whole weekend is just no

One cares and let’s let’s figure it out so now nobody knows anything I don’t know you know yeah you know you they’re saying please don’t make us work on our break we don’t want to work on our break now now nobody knows you know the the guys

Who has The Rock in their heads nobody knows why the game has been so trash it’s unbelievable man it’s absolutely unbelievable it’s just it’s just Stark differences in the mindset of today’s generation it’s it’s the entrepreneurial and and in one hand it’s great right it’s great that all these players are

Enterprising and it’s great that Allstar has infused so much of uh business and fashion and culture and all of that and it’s great for the city like all of that stuff is great and it’s great for the players to go out and build their brands in front of different Generations but

The competitive nature bro the money has corrupted the competitive nature of the sport even you know the yeah Larry per like man only thing I just want to see these guys play hard all all all the old hits you know like we we came from that era when like

You you used to like look forward to the allstar game like that was the thing on Sunday do your thing you do everything you got to do you do your homework you go to church whatever you got to do get all that out the way so that when Sunday

Came you would see the east with ying and Jordan and Pippen and and Shaq and bird and whoever else they had during that era and go up against The Best of the West it was you had magic you know what I mean David Robinson all these guys Gary Payton Sean

K and used to have a game you have a game bro gone do you think like what I don’t even see the purpose of having this anymore if no one’s going to compete or take it seriously this week was probably the worst I’ve ever seen it in yeah seriousness and that saying something

That’s saying something this is this is the worst because was the worst one even in past years people try like players tried to compete yeah in all the events and the only good thing from this weekend was a three-point competition three-point competitions become the best thing always it always is good and the

Sabrina and Steph matchup was great I mean if you’re not going to get any legitimate competition ition during this weekend why even hold it anymore you might as well just figure it out I mean at this point move the inseason tournament to this time and then give it

Even more of a buffer figure out in the middle because and you got it in Vegas you got it in Vegas every year yeah Vegas every year and I I saw a response saying well you know maybe the players would be more involved if they weren’t doing autographs and stuff of that

Nature stop I like this is like you get the if you’re not the playoffs you have an entire offseason to chill you have an entire offseason to chill the off season Hoops you know what I’m saying even even in the offseason some of these guys are playing summer Hoops so what’s

The difference yeah so what’s the difference and on top of that this is like this is like the greatest privilege you could have to be playing basketball at the highest level and being paid very well for it so like the very least put on a good show for people look Indiana

How many times does Indiana get the All-Star Game right yeah yeah they’re getting an opportunity to see Dame Steph LeBron and F for fans who are paying this money to go see it you should want to go put on a show because the fans are what creates your wealth like they’re

The people that are buying your jerseys attending the Arenas doing all the stuff that’s helping you and the least you could do is just play somewhat of a serious basketball game yeah at least show that you are taking some sort of Interest it just felt like oh we didn’t

Want to be in Indiana this is not the city we wanted to this is not the area we want to be in we don’t where we want to play this year you know we just want to relax because it’s a long season guys you have it all off season yeah eight

Teams from each conference makes the playoffs it’s insane man and shout out to the Ry Manel Chuck D in the chat said he went to the 92 allstar game when magic came back in Orlando that’s hard like those are classic classic moments and and you just don’t have it I

Mean think about think about when when magic came back in Orlando and won the MVP think about that in the post game he was drenched in sweat you you look at these guys they didn’t even look like they played in the game so yeah it’s um I don’t know what

They can do I I I talked about the one-on-one tournament that but that’s more from a a a fan wish list but that would never happen you know it it would never happen you offer them more money to play harder is that the next thing I have no idea how much how much

Like re I don’t even know if that does it man because they look at it as a break yeah and the way that the contracts already structured in the NBA is that if you make it right right so like what are you what are you incentivizing them another million

Dollars I mean another million would be great but the million dollars for the all stars they’re already getting that bonus this is not like the inseason tournament where guys at the end of the bench as we talked about Ryan arj diako the assistant coaches you know that’s

Extra cash in their pocket that they probably won’t get to see at any point of their NBA career these guys are making that type of money already they got the endorsements they get the sponsorships they get the commercials they get all these other things adding more money to the pot isn’t really

What’s going to incentivize them in my opinion they’re going to have that in their contract to begin with so I don’t think money’s the issue I think they actually have to just want to show up and play and you got to figure out whether whether you want to do something that’s

Like there’s whether it’s repercussions or something of that nature if they don’t show up and play but this is the worst I’ve ever seen an All-Star game I mean I was falling asleep during the All-Star Game man like I was knocked out I was on my phone like checking in

Waiting for Brunson to check in yeah it was just not engaging and and it’s saying a lot because um I thought the the the one that they had at the Garden was complete trash the last one at the Garden 98 was a classic the last one

That they had at the Garden was complete trash and this one topped that one and that was that was doing a lot so you know what do you think needs to happen CP do you think it do you think it’s money all right that would look bad that

Will look bad on their part on the players part that will look terrible that would be a terrible look on to play his SP to get to ask for more money for the allstar to compete yeah like a bigger pot yeah I agree there should just be

Some sort of that will look bad on their part like at what point do you look at this as hey the best of the best is here right now we’re competing against one another we have the ultimate teams representing the East and the West yeah

Where is that Pride saying no no no the Westcott has the better players no no no no the East has the better players where’s the pride it’s a different it’s different generation man it’s just different these these guys don’t don’t really want to like they don’t want to go out there and

Prove the the the the the passion for the game is just different man it it ended after like that Kobe era you know like Kobe kg Tim Duncan I felt like it end Dirk you know it ended after that man it it really did it really did there’s no way Kobe’s

Come playing in this game like that he’d probably walk out they probably with Kobe on the court they probably wouldn’t even they would probably be afraid to Coast they just see the Black Mama on the court so are you saying this uh indictment on LeBron James because he essentially is

That no he is the figure man he is the figure he is the he is the face of the league yeah between him Giannis joic those are the guys that you look at saying all right how serious we about to be today yeah I’m showing the uh the 92 Clips

With magic you know which one was a good one um shout out to my guy forgotten Seasons he had just posted it 2001 in DC East was down by 21 and Stephen AI brought him back that was a classic Houston and spr well were in that game mhm that was a classic classic

Game man and Vince Carter was in that game Jason kid Kobe Tim Duncan kg that was that was a good All-Star in 2001 was a good All-Star guys that cared guys that cared guy guys that cared man but either way man you know JB represented

Well he had looks like he had a good weekend got it in he’s he’s all over the map there in in Indie making his rounds signing autographs you saw little the uh locker room content little uh Dame Lillard getting his autograph so Captain clutch was in high

Demand in all-star weekend man saw all the men did you see did you see yic get a little jealous when uh yeah Brunson dapped up uh Luca he was like staring him down like excuse me this is my best friend what you doing you know I didn’t

See that but I told you man the uh I I told you that the uh the the yic and and and and um and Luca franzinger Murray Luca donic he’s out of there you go get LCA he’s out LCA donic on the Nuggets would be insane insane

Insane that would be ridiculous I don’t even know I how do you even defend that team yeah that that would be insane man but then the picture that broke the internet last night out and I had to stir the pot up a little bit you had shout out to Fat

Jo friend of the program shout out to 50 and then you had spider Mitchell and our guy Jaylen Brunson man at the game this was not by mistake ladies and gentlemen this was not by mistake the rollsroyce back court is coming out 2425 this is this is it right here this

Was it right here it’s it’s it’s it’s only matter of time bro you see very excited because now you can see the future very clearly the rollsroyce back court Andrew Renee in chat here we go let’s go you guys better get ready for it man the spiders coming

Home that offense is going to be insane I’m trying to tell you man I’m trying to tell you let me say would be insane nothing’s guaranteed but that offense would be insane new rollsroyce back court is on the way it’s on the way does t be does TI

Become an offensive minded coach at that point you won’t need to Jaylen and Donovan do everything just get out the way get out the way uh tibs tell us about your offensive strategy for Donan and Jaylen and Randall well you know uh we go out there

And I just make sure that they get the rock you know isolation isolation isolation that that’s all de it’s a done deal so uh th those are some of the highlights of the weekend no doubt you had the dunk contest with Jacob toppen getting robbed we talked about that uh

Yesterday on the NBA report that was also pretty ridiculous I don’t know what Jaylen Brown was doing but certainly had no business being advancing the second round Jacob topic got robbed you know what more can we say about that DK contest is is cooked it just you know allar kind of starts off

For like to me it starts off at the top rookie Challenge and then you go up a little bit with a Three-Point Contest and then you just then you just go down a cliff and where’s the Celebrity Game SNS Celebrity Game celebrity game that’s a nap you’re telling me you’re not tuning

Into the Celebrity Game No I don’t want to care about pukaa slam dunking and no no I’m sorry bro I I don’t need to see you want to see the four line Tantrums on the what no no the Ruffles four-point line you don’t want to see that no I’m good man I’m

Game for you all to tune in I need to know I need to know that I need answers yeah I don’t know I don’t know man me salute some of the super chats that have come in salute to everybody in the chat once again hit that thumbs up

Button for you boys shout out the 50th Burger let’s go Nicks franchise Channel member Ali says what’s up guys I’ve been watching roommates podcast too love it despite brunson’s comments do you think we’ll get a Nike jb1 we all want to see it who’s he with right

Now Brun I think he’s with Nike he wears the Kobes all the time oh oh so he saying like a signature shoe 50th bird is that mean JB get a signature shoe yeah wow TM using your full your full go almost your full government name he’s

Saying get Casey Powell in there for the Celebrity Game J Cole bounty killer staff Aon oh my God Roberto Rodriguez camon cam cam cam will be a good one cam will be a good one definitely yeah every time he takes a shot pause yeah yeah the C would be a

Good one actor says Christina agilo okay all right hey whatever whatever you ice spice oh God no um uh signature shoe okay so he said signature shoe will Brunson get a Nike signature shoe how many guys really have a signature shoe anymore there not that many everybody what are we talking about

No bro no bro a lot of guys a lot of guys are under Jordan like Zion LCA donic Tatum Tatum’s got his own yep KD’s got his own obviously Brian has his own yep Donovan’s got his Dame’s got his but signature Jaws got his it might take a little

While there’s a lot I mean Julius I mean Julius doesn’t have a signature shoe he’s he with Sketchers right they don’t really have a signature even when RJ was with Puma like he had a he had a colorway but it wasn’t like his own

Shoe I’m not sure I you know I don’t I would love to know like the the overall thought process from these sneaker Brands these days like do they even invest a lot in in those signature shoes there’s only like a handful feels like there’s a lot more Steph’s got his signature shoe Steph

Kyrie I mean Clay’s got his signature shoe I guess yeah well they they you know more companies have also entered into the mix he’s talking about he’s talking about Nike he’s talking about Nike I hear Brunson get his own Nike shoe I think that’s that’s a little ambitious that’s tough that’s a little

Ambitious Nike would be tough you’d have to go with a different brand to get you have to win the ring if he gets the ring absolutely yeah James Harden’s got his own signature shoe is he still with Adidas who’s he with Adidas yeah with with Nikey he’d have to

Run a ring first if he brings a championship to New York he he get anything signature signature everything um L’s got a signature shoe with P Puma yeah lamelo’s got Pumas lamelo’s got Pumas I’m saying like a lot of these guys have signature shoes but if it’s

With Nike that would be that’s bars bars low right like think about Nike though signature athletes they don’t really have that many no they don’t Nike doesn’t but feels like everyone’s getting one though yeah yeah so Kyrie had his Kyrie definitely had his five out super chat from the Ry

Animal George who’s he with Nike okay okay uh shout out to Ry animal Chuck d f out Super Chat says the NBA loves Glenn Rivers Doc Rivers says if every Allstar was a Brunson we would have a watchable game silver got a problem Stern would have passed out fines Stern would have

Pulled Stern would have pulled the plug B uh Stephen Santiago $10 Super Chat um says Uncle Fester on OIC was not happy about he’s talk that out himself about allstar game but neither were we salute praying for health for the second half Steven Santiago says he’s praying for

Health in the second half out praying for health man and yeah I think that is that is the most important factor here for these Knicks as they enter into the second half you have uh OG anobi the hope is that he comes back in in uh March we’ll see what happens with Julius

When he comes back what that time frame looks like what’s what’s Mitch’s time frame remember Mitch it was uh was scheduled to resume basketball activity this week so what does that mean for Mitch the center rotation but overall man they have got to get healthy the be Ragu before the

Season before the uh the this this first half wrapped up Big Ragu went down with a hamstring you have hartenstein with the Achilles Bak donovic left left calf strain health is going to be very important man very important and you know the the guys that you just named

Bogdanovic har uh hartenstein uh Dante those are all guys that should be back after the break I thought I think that was more management for them rather than have them exhaust themselves when everyone’s just banged up you don’t need to lose anybody else it’s really Mitch Randall and OG that we’re we’re waiting

On and I’d say the level of importance is obviously Randall OG Mitch yeah just because we’ve seen the Knicks Thrive with that different starting five but that doesn’t mean that they all don’t play an important role but we need all those guys back I mean if you don’t I was looking forward to

The Celtics match up if everyone was healthy yeah but if not everyone’s healthy man we’re still not going to know what this team fully looks like because it’s just different I mean I want to see what Mitch looks like on the court with ojan anobi what that defense

Looks like want to see if Randle can still be the the same physical demon that he is as he was to start the season right all that changes and the concern with all these guys being down is that you’re putting a lot of pressure on jayen Brunson trying to keep these

Things afloat and you’re asking a lot of other guys to play Above their level like we’re asking Burks and bonovich to play at a level that we shouldn’t expect them to we’re asking them to be more than role players so that’s the only concern I mean the big the best surprise

Is that Dante has been able to R to the challenge when fully healthy but even that you see asking him to do too much too has now caused him to get injured so yeah it’s just you need everyone to get healthy man just to to preserve

Everybody to get to the finish line of the regular season and then be ready for the playoffs well this is this is where things kind of get dicey like I was on SNY on Friday with my guy Jason spells and he was they were asking you know are they headed for playing

Territory and look there there’s going to be 27 games left right now they’re in fourth in the East two and a half or or one and a half back of the Bucks who sit in third they’re four back already but it from the Cavs they’re four back already from the

Cavs who are sitting in second place they are half game up on Philly and that is going to be when we talk about tough matchups or key matchups for the second half you come out the gates on Thursday against Philly and we’ll have game of the week preview and look out for that

Announcement for game of the week preview Nicks versus is coming up this week so they have February 22nd at Philly and then you have back and then you have home home home against Philly like home meating Madison Square Garden home home March 10th and 12th so you got

A two game series against Philly March 10th and 12 so you get to see Philly three times within three weeks to kick this off half game up on the Sixers it’s tough man that’s tough especially when you don’t know the status of Joel embiid either I mean right not unlikely that

He’ll be back for this matchup but talk about those latter two matchups especially that miniseries which I look forward to hopefully the Knicks are more healthy by that point because that would be a good you know test to see how this team could Faire in the playoffs that

Would be a good like you play a game you get some rest and then you play again you know what adjustments do you make how do you how are you able to attack uh the opponent from a different from a different angle right because that’s going to be a true example of playoffs

Man I’m looking forward to that especially because that could be a real match up as as it is right now they’re four and five so that could be a first round match up between the Knicks and the Sixers could be a very real matchup but for the Knicks man it’s you know

When you talk about the standings being a half a game in front of Philly yeah playing territory is pretty scary because you don’t want to be in that situation and that’s the issue with all the injuries I mean this team fully healthy they were what what second third

For I mean I think they were second for a hot second but they were definitely third and had a nice lead but now you worry that teams like the Cavs and the Bucks can just get so much momentum after the break that they can widen that

Gap and now the Knicks are just trying to fight for fourth and now now you got you got the Pacers right behind them Knicks are two and a half up in the Pacers they’re 31 and 25 shakum trade is looking kind of good on them right now

Miami once Jimmy Butler comes back from grieving how are they going to look you know with Rosier and all those boys and it is Miami and then you got Orlando which who’s who’s in an interesting spot right now because although the Knicks are three games up on Orlando they did

Lose a season series to Orlando they still play another game against Orlando later this season which will be um before that that Philly two game series so that’s a tough stretch in its own right March 8th 10th and 12th every other day they’re home against Orlando

They it’s all home which is good but it’s home against Orlando and then you have the uh the Philly two game series but also before that you have March 5th versus Atlanta and then March 3D again at Cleveland that’s for the season series so March 3rd and March 12th

That’s a dog fight right there man if and if they’re not healthy that’s the problem if you’re not healthy that’s when things could get real dicey because the problem is that is that this team as it looks right now is just defensively decimated like it was nice to have Burks

And bonovich when you’re at full strength but now to rely on them to cover up your defensive holes you got to play Above their level CP that’s the issue that’s the problem that that is the problem and the fact of the matter is even for like they’re they’re trying

To get acclimated for what their roles are which you see even through the few games before the break they were struggling to get into that Rhythm right yeah so you’re asking him to adjust to that now they’re putting in a position where they have to play above that

That’s asking for a disaster so you know it’s everyone just needs to get healthy that PL and simple everyone needs to get healthy PL and simple but my question to you is where do you see this team Landing then and yeah I guess that’s it because I can ask you like what team

You’re concerned about but if you’re if you’re not a healthy team you can be concerned about everybody so where do you see the Knicks in the latter half in in the remaining part of this regular season where do you see them falling they’re they’re only three games ahead of

Eighth they’ve just lost Fourth Street you have no answers on OG and no answers on Julius and you got to get through this is tough man coming out the gates Philly Boston boom you get Detroit then you get New Orleans at home you home against against New Orleans

Home against Golden State and yes it is Golden State but you know the chef is coming in there to put up a show so that’s another dice you one then you’re in Cleveland for the final regular season matchup in Cleveland March 3rd home against the Hawks home

Orlando home home Philly then you go out west you got to go to Portland you got to go to Sacramento back to Golden State and then finish at Denver bro brutal the next month for an injury Riddle Nick team they can fall all the way to eighth very

Easily you know hate hate to be the the Debbie Downer here but the way this team has looked over the last four games if they’re coming in with the same unit and can’t can’t defend which I wouldn’t I expect them to could get they could be in

Trouble what do you see what do you need to see this team healthwise who do you need back for this team to have some sort of confidence that we can keep rolling they need everybody man everybody they need they need a whole team so after Julius went down with a

Shoulder injury could you think could you see that team winning enough games to maintain playoff positioning yeah sure yeah yeah to maintain playoff positioning yeah yeah to be in the top six yeah to yeah yeah yeah they’re in trouble man oh my God y I think with that team they could

Stay in the top y bro I’m just saying man I don’t know man this this team is just like offensively they they should be able to get it together but it’s it’s just the defense I don’t know if they’ll be able to play good enough and look L look at this

Man Orlando Philly Philly then out west then when you come back from out west okay you have some some wibles Brooklyn Detroit Toronto San Antonio like those are four straight wibles and then boom you’re right back at it to close out the year home versus OKC at Miami home

Versus Sacramento Bulls game should be whatever at Milwaukee at Chicago at Boston you play Chicago three times in in what are they doing with the schedule where they chic yeah what’s up with that Bulls match up like that what is happening yeah what’s up with this man it felt like someone got

Lazy at the end of the schedule making it’s like Yay You’ll Play The Bull however many times so it’s going to be very interesting man you you hope that you hope that you get OG back for the for the West Coast trip something tells me like if we get

OG back and just let’s just say we get everybody outside of Randall back and I know Mitch I’ll even include Mitch and like even if we don’t have Mitch right now he’s could be in that Randall bucket saying you know put them to the side they probably will be returning later in

The in the regular season but if you give me that roster I’m more confident that we can keep uh we could be somewhere between we could be in the six in the top six that’s all I could say I feel like we could be in the top six with

That roster looking at some of these games of course we don’t know what other injuries for other teams they got to go through at these points but you know I just look at matches like Detroit Golden State like you don’t necessarily need to be at full strength to defeat teams like

That we’ve seen that before yeah even Orlando I feel like that as well um you know we could talk about Philly right now we don’t know where Joel embiid is and if they don’t have Joel embiid that’s a matchup with the 76ers I’m not too worried about yeah but it’s teams

Like Denver you know teams like Boston that really th those games the SK the scales are heavily tilted in the opponent’s favor because of they have either an MVP caliber candidate and niik yic or they have one of the best starting fives in the NBA but if you

Give me that if you give me that team without Randall and Mitch not saying they’ll go far in the playoffs but they should be able to to tread water and just make it through the regular season in hopes that you get both of those guys back healthy enough to really compete in

The playoffs I’m I’m pretty confident in that true indeed man BX M BX M on the chat salute to BX Mel Muhammad Mustafa Russell whiskey sutar franchise channel members in the building what do you guys think man are you guys nervous how are we feeling right now as we get ready to

Kick off the second half sweating he’s nervous you can see it yeah he’s over here giving the nervous laugh like this this this this looks this looks like uh a dicey situation dicey he says what else he got for us it’s a dicey situation what else procurious

Situation yeah they they’re gonna be in a spot man definitely but either way Al the one thing’s for sure two things for certain when lose a draw we here at Nick fan TV man the number one show for the fans by the fans we got to keep the content rolling man

You know people are going back to work tomorrow Nick’s weekly is is a vital piece of their morning commute and their lunchtime and their evening commute you know yeah for the ultra Die Hard C the ultra die hard this Show’s for the ultra die hard for the ultra die hards Roberto

Rodri get CP I just want to know who is suiting up on Thursday who’s suiting up on Thursday in Philly CP is I’m suiting up JD CK stting up sad out Brooklyn TCH um well I would I mean one thing I would be a little I would be a little

Concerned if you don’t have Ragu or bogdanovic for Thursday I’d be a little concerned which I’m more concerned if we don’t have Dante over for sure bonovich for sure for sure um Don I mean you know hamstring and CF they’re they they’re tough man they’re tough you know it’s it just sucks man

Because Dante was especially for Dante who was really thriving and gting those extra minutes and ging those extra opportunities to score it seemed like he really was honing in man yeah unlocking something and this is where it’s just this is where I just get more intrigued by this team because we know what

Brunson is we know what Randall is but there’s so many questions Dante playing at this level what do you give him more touches what if you allow him to run that second unit when everyone’s fully healthy what does the OG Mitchell Robinson parent looks like for def for

Defensive purposes I mean how does precious play into this whole thing because he’s been playing well do you have a solid just defensive unit where you put precious Josh Hart OG and Mitchell Robinson out there and he just sto guys for like a solid 8 minutes straight yeah there’s so many

Interesting lineups and rotations for this team I need to see it but that means all these guys got to be fully healthy salute to Felix balero salute to Phoenix reek Flair salute salute uh remember that these shows are available in audio podcast format as well so if

Julius like oh done for the season hand cover in the face and was trying to get us all up in arms for yeah isn’t this the same isn’t this that same gentleman that did that well maybe they come back earlier maybe that’s what it means ah oh
