Knicks blow out their second NBA Finalist in a row! | Miami Heat Losers Lounge

Uh losing is what got us here uh none of us feel good about it uh this is you know where we are you are what your record is you are what has happened you know recently uh but things can change quickly you know once we um uh Tony good morning what’s popping with

You brother how you feeling good morning Sim um I’m feeling a little better you know and hopefully this show here will brighten up the mood a little bit you know what I’m saying right you know feeling a little bit better uh we we’ll see we’ll see the way things are going

Down with Rand I know everybody is impatiently waiting for the MRI results you know I mean for Julius Randall um impatiently waiting definitely impatiently waiting but it is definitely a pressure pressure I don’t know pleasure to do a losers lounge and Miami Heat be the butt of the

Jokes full circle moment for us son you know what I’m saying Los losers now started with Miami we are again you know what I’m saying even though they keep taking down our players you know every time we turn around every time we play the Miami Heat they taking down our players but

Uh you know what we going to do what we going to do we just gota we just got to keep on we got to keep on ticking you know what I’m saying got to keep on ticking next man up next man up next man up uh you know hopefully that

Hope hopefully we continue to uh ball out Kendall said when will this losing streak end toy hit him not today welcome to the losers Lounge not they didn’t and what did they on six game losing streak yes sir yes sir six game losing streak I think that’s the biggest losing streak of the

Um the current longest losing streak in the NBA league in the league is saying right yeah yep um yeah yeah worst losing streak in the league we the hottest team they the codest team it is and the Knicks are on currently on the longest winning streak in the

League you know what I’m saying and the Knicks are right now just one game behind Philadelphia for that third seed so you know that’s that’s that’s fire right there no punt intended or maybe I did intend the punt I don’t know you know what I’m saying but

Um third seed is the time I mean obviously Julius Randle has the shoulder injury but I guess I just got to ask the question is the time now I mean to the r to rise to the top of the Eastern Conference at least we we right there we right there and the

Opportunity is right there so I mean I I feel like they’re going to take full advantage hopefully the Randle thing is not a longterm number one but I mean we’ve been we’ve been showing that resiliency all year I mean you could really say under tips toage we’ve been

Showing that resiliency right every year somebody goes down every year somebody we we worry about it you know what I mean whether it’s Mitch Robinson um every year whoever it is but we figure out how to be resilient how to uh stay the course yeah no no no doubt but uh

It’s it’s beautiful to see the Miami Heat fans suffering you know what I mean I love it I love it when would the losing streak and I don’t know who do who do they play next uh I forgot but they not confident about tomorrow um they they got a tough they got a

Still a tough schedule the next three games I think they play the Suns tomorrow that’s gonna be a tough game for them yeah I was I was watching one of the Miami podcast they they they felt like it’s going to be three more losses at least then they play

Sacramento so that could very well be a loss and then they play the Wizards so they should take care of the wizards they don’t take care of the wizards they got a issue they got a real problem if they don’t take care of the Wizards you know what I mean that’s a

Fact you know what saying got a real problem you know I mean one one of their fans said we we’re worse than Detroit that’s that’s tough there that’s tough I don’t know if you’re worse than Detroit but if you lose to the Wizards you might be you might be worse than Detroit you

Know what I mean let me get to a phone call real quick Callie live name me where you from hey this is Stephie way from Brooklyn how you doing Sim appreciate how you feeling I’m doing good I mean you know great feelings bad feelings a little bit you know bit of

Sweet everything that happened yesterday with Randall but you know I’m happy for the win and just hoping for him to come along as quickly as possible and safely as possible that’s yeah yeah that’s what we all hoping for man for you know for him to come along as quickly and safely as

Possible the Knicks are going to need him back uh what do you suggest we do the Nicks do in the meantime well I’ve been putting thought into it and I was thinking number one thank goodness ihart is back he needs to practice that hook shot you know sometime it goes in a good

Good portion of the time but I notice he doesn’t always go through it uh AA he stepped up quite a bit I like the idea of um him maybe moving to the power forward position he’s not gonna get us as many points but I think you know

Watching OG the last couple games I like him um especially when they when when they play him with the second team um I think OG is this is the time for him to step up now because even though he’s patient he waits for the ball he’s not

Really our third option I think during this stretch he could be because he is efficient he is accurate with his shooting and I trust him you know just in this month alone he was like the best birthday gift I got in January because this guy he just he stepped in the first

Day and he’s been amazing and you know this is his time to shine you know like I like I said I don’t think he’s number he’s our third option I still think we need extra but for right now doing say the next 10 games I think I read something about maybe 11

Games Randle will be out I really think that you know he could help you know just sure up a few you know the only thing is I worry about them breaking down because tibs he man he plays these guys into the ground anyway so of course

We’re going to see more Sims but I think we can still do it I really do I just need a little bit more from hartenstein you know I think I hate to say it but you know what I’m old school I you know he’s a little skinny for me boy put on

Like 10 pounds of muscle so people be a little scared of you down that middle block some shots you know put you know put the fear God into these brothers out here a little bit you know I grew up on them 90s Mick was nobody walking past oy Anthony Mason and

Y you know no doubt what I need yeah I mean listen I think OG uh well I’m wondering if OG now would have to be the second option you know if if if he’s ready to do it because Randle might be out for a month or more you know what I’m

Saying yeah so can Dante also de sh you know that’s another thing we have we have a small team so we have to you know work with their strengths you know try to get more outside shots with him I really feel like you know of course

There’s going to be a law but I don’t think this is going this could has to wipe us out totally you know it doesn’t have to if TS planned well and if everybody steps up we have a wonderful team of you know a couple of stars and

Supporting players I think you know if everybody just you know do does what they need to do it doesn’t have to be a complete meltdown you know hopefully we’ll be okay yeah hopefully so I think that the entire team kind of has that next man up mentality and and

They’ll figure out they’ll figure out what to do and to be honest with you in my opinion I feel like Tom Tibido actually coaches best with a little bit less you seen him do it with the Chicago Bulls back in the day even when he had elred Payton at point guard with Randall

And and and RJ Barrett he found a way to get those guys in the playoffs you know what I’m saying so yeah I feel like tips coaches his best with less well he definitely um you know he’s uh has his way about him the last time

You and I spoke I talked about the fact that you know his non man rotation gets on my nerves sometimes but you know because of this incident you know what people are going to have to step up you know we uh we never see 4A but we might

Even you know see uh a bit more of um uh you know what’s his name the uh Malachi you know anybody just if they you know throw them out there see what they can do but we need all hands on that you know at this point because like I said I

Don’t believe that this has to uh Scuttle our chances you know hopefully it’s just about a month and maybe even less than that um you know but I I don’t think this has to be the nail on the coffin you know still rooting for us so

We we’re gonna do this we gotta have as many losers louers this is my favorite show I mean you know we got to have these love we gotta have apprciate that yes for sure and you know what’s good the allstar break is in is you know

Coming up so so you know it could it could even be less games if you know if you calculate the allstar break in there so you know hoping for the best man hopefully we get some MRI news today yeah you know our guys they’re strong they’re gonna be okay you know

Doing this time of year you know but it seems like we haven’t been whole in so long we just got our heart back so for Julius to go down I was just like you know but I like I said I’ve believed in this team for 30 years and I’m I’m still

I still have have faith I still have you know they have heart I mean and and let me tell you something this past like I said this past January this past month has really you know open my eyes to what they can do people sleep on the Nicks

All the time I mean it’s so bad to where you know like I it’s h see how they did Brunson you know I I have faith that he’s going to be a back a backup but this brother he should have been a a starter I mean he has come such a long

Way he’s the hardest worker in the NBA you know but people for some reason want want to sleep on us want to you know tell jokes on us but you know what however we do this year you know I just I’m just having a great time watching

I’m every night I’m in wonder you know because I feel like we’re doing a lot with um with we don’t have everything that we need but we’re doing so much with what we have so if we could get that one more piece because I I personally think we still need another

Point guard or another maybe combo guard to show us up because I need I think uh Brunson needs to be rested more but other than that I love what I’m seeing yeah yeah I love what I’m saying too and um you know just watch out if randle’s

Out for a little while watch out for Brunson might go crazy 50 points here 60 points here I’m he might go crazy he might go crazy Steph thank you for the call have a great great day happy belated birthday too keep celebrating yes happy Bel birthday happy to you

Thank y’all take care y’all take care have a good one all right bye bye bye bye yeah great call that’s step a new step we got a new step in the building Tony I see I see she woke me right up with that energy too I’m ready to go yeah man yeah

That’s beautiful great morning wor than Detroit worse than Detroit let me see what else what else they fan say they they they’re they’re not in love with Tyler hero you know what I’m saying um you know this guy at Don Aiden Aiden said I hate how much how the community hates on

Hero so much and you know I had to plug the show S I said uh respectfully check out nothing but Nick’s YouTube channel or just sech nbk losers Lounge and then I said trust me every team’s fans do the same thing to somebody here was RJ and Randle right

Couron Grimes too yeah he the new one elred pton we had a lot of people catch it a lot of people catch it what’s their issue with tah hero uh they don’t think he passes the ball um I think a lot of them just anticipated him being gone from all the

Trade rumors early in the year it’s it’s kind of hard to double back you know you know what I mean it’s like it’s like when you uh when you break up with your girl and you telling all your friends all the all the uh you know all the

Things she did and then you get back together and now you don’t want to tell your friends you know I mean you was talking all that trash before right I think it’s more more of that and the fact that it looked like his value wasn’t

What it was in on the trade market you know what I mean like nobody really wanted to touch him when when they were trying to move him so I think that kind of soured the their views on them as well yeah I guess so I mean I don’t know what’s this contract like

That a heavy contract um it’s not it’s not horrible you know what I mean like I would still argue Robinson’s contract was was the worst contract I think that’s towards the tail end right now um you know it’s not one of those worst contracts you know what I

Mean yeah Duncan Robinson had a had a a bad contract he definitely he definitely did or he just didn’t live up to the contract what whichever way you want to say it you know what I’m saying um you know Duncan Robinson didn’t have you know good contract and he still on that

Contract Duncan Robinson yeah I think this might be the last year Okay Tyler hero H you know 27 million this year 29 next year then 31 the year after that 33 the year after that I mean Duncan Robinson now is 18.1 this year 19 next year and then a player

Option for 19.8 still going yeah still G that joint still G I’ll say this though over the time Robinson’s contract doesn’t look as bad as you know me when it first he first signed it right yeah no yeah that’s true that’s true I don’t know let me get to a caller

Real quick caller you live let me where you from please excuse me uh uh good good uh morning good afternoon to you gentlemen this is Ron from stck fans big Ron what’s going on with you brother how you feeling you what’s good sh what’s Happ with you brother how you feeling

Man right you can’t never disguise your voice [Laughter] bro I don’t know like you know it’s it’s almost like I mean okay that’s a little exaggerating but it’s like you know giving me a check and telling me yo Ron listen congratulations here here’s a little quick $10,000 for you but 70% of

That’s going to Uncle Sam that’s how I feel right now about these Knicks like they win we go 12- two and we lose Julius I’m like ah come on man yeah I know I know I know I don’t know man painful it’s painful you know I know everyone’s

Waiting on the edge of their seat randle’s probably home just you know he probably didn’t even get the MRI yet probably won’t get it till tomorrow right H it’s you know the thing is like I’m I I when it happened immediately I knew what it was because I’ve seen it

And like I said I’ve experienced it well I didn’t say that but I put it in the chat yesterday I’ve experienced it myself and I was like damn it I was like I hope I hope he’s got the mild one because the mild one you can recover

From quickly but I do know one thing once it happens you know what I mean you know like when they tell you uh as a kid you know be careful out there don’t break something if you break something is never the same like you know or like getting operation once you get that

Operation open it up never the same right like once you dislocate your shoulder and I don’t know it might have happened to him before in life we don’t know but once you dislocate that shoulder that shoulder it heals but it just it always feels like it’s not quite

Right it’s not the same it’s weak and so anything can happen I mean I I hurt my shoulder playing football and then like two months later all I did was swing a bat and my shoulder dislocated I was like what is happening wow yeah so so I

Mean I’m just hoping for the best for the man um and you know we were really like we clicking man and we just looked like we finally a team I was so hyped yesterday I was tweeting and stuff I’m like yeah man this team finally looks

Like an NBA Prime Time team that I look at and I’m like yeah no this is my Knicks and just to see that happen is really is really a little bit uh you know disheartening but but I know they’ll be okay they’ll figure out a way

Next man up like Tibido like to say and all that good stuff so I I’m just a little concerned um the other thing too is like it’s like a domino effect like Julius was really like in his bag like his aggressive bag get into the hole like really filling that role and now

You’re gonna put him on the Shelf he’s gonna come back the Knick’s gonna have to adapt so they’re going to be playing a little differently he’s going to have to fit back in and you know there’s always that transition perod so you just hope it all work works together the way

It used to right right right and then and then of course he’s got a you know like you said you know what I’m saying he’s got to get used to just a new shoulder luckily I don’t want to say luckily but it’s his right shoulder it’s not a shooting arm you know

Um maybe it forces him maybe it’s going to force him to work on his right-and ball handle a little bit more yeah I don’t know you I’m just hoping for the best form you know come back healthy uh you know having a heck of a season and you know everything’s going

To depend on that MRI everything right right because all right the the the the X-ray shows you know like no like bone damage or whatever it’s going to show that but the MRI is going to tell you the ligament damage mhm M you know I mean so that

That’s that’s really what we’re waiting on what’s the ligament damage like yeah yeah and um I and my bad you know always respect and love Sim always good to talk to you and my man my guy Tony let’s go Playboy but this is really Nix and bruises bro so you should feel

Right at home man man yeah um Nick and Bruce let me ask y’all a question mhm I I don’t I don’t even want to bring it up should I bring it up ah nah man all right I’mma I don’t want to jinx anything and then everybody in

The community be like yo Ron it’s Ron’s fault now don’t do that but are you a little concerned like and and I think the Knicks should probably although it doesn’t it it gets a little wonky I think the niick should probably insert precious into the

Starting line up M allow him to play the four keep OG at three so he doesn’t change what he’s doing um now I get it like that that relief that you get from having iHeart in the starting lineup and now precious who’s starting to really play good coming off the bench you lose

A little of that I get it but I really think that you know with ihart coming back Jericho Sims gets jeton to the bench anyway now this brings Jericho Sims back into the fold so I think Jericho coming in spelling one of those guys because one of them is probably

Going to be they’re going to be flip-flopping I think it’ll be okay the reason why I say that is because my biggest concern because you know there’s always an elephant in the room one of the reasons why people were a little suspect and skeptical about pre I mean

Precious um OG anobi is because of a certain injury history now he has been great knock on wood I don’t have wood there we go but I’m just concerned that if you put him in the at the four and he’s got to do a little bit more bang

With the bigs a little bit more go out there try to grab those rebounds because he’s making up for what we’re losing from Julius you put a little bit more strain on him because we already see this dude is a mile a minute man he’s out there he’s really aggressive he

Moves right to have another thing on top of his plate I just don’t like it I like I feel like he’s found his little comfort zone and he’s able to make it work but if you give him more and then put more tax on his body I don’t like it

That’s just my opinion I don’t want to jinx it but what what do you guys think about that I mean I I’m not opposed to Precious but I also understand like Tony thought Josh Hart would go into that lineup while OG went to the four and that also makes sense because they

Played together in that second unit at those positions you know what I mean um so uh that also makes sense now prees gives you the same size almost the same not exactly the same body type but similar body type is Julius Randall but now you got to play a little bit

Differently you know so uh I don’t know Tom tibo’s gonna try either way I think I think Tom Tibido is gonna start with Josh Hart then take a look at you know a lineup with precious and OG and Brunson and dant chenzo and ihart and then kind

Of you know and see what that looks like and then maybe go from there but I think he’ll go with Josh Hart because it’s more familiar okay from the beginning at least Tony you on board with that too yeah I mean I don’t I don’t mind either

Way I I do and Sim Sim mentioned precious starting yesterday as well um I I think I think um I think he goes with heart first though um I think it it it just I I think he we we he likes what he’s SE seen the Villanova guys together a

Little bit um more often um and I don’t know if he wants to put the that pressure on a precious you know I mean in the in the starting lineup as opposed to he’s kind of finding his own right now so maybe let him keep driving

In the road that he’s been in um and then I see maybe um I mean this is GNA be tough too but I see maybe Sims and precious getting some minutes together as well that’s gonna in the second unit yeah and I do think I I do agree

What you said Sim and and how you feel I do think that that is what Pips is gonna do like that’s his first choice I know to put Josh Hart in there um I just my whole thing is like I think this really forces the Knicks to make a move

Like is not a move to replace Julius it’s just a move to help solidify that bench because you think our bench is looking crazy right now and we struggle sometimes because yesterday against Miami the bench played great like defensively but offensively y’all know every time the bench came in the game we

Lost the lead or or the lead shrunk you know what I mean so um I think we need that extra scoring Off the Bench something’s got to happen we got to get something at least yeah and and you know what I I want to give a shout out man to

Leon Rose in the front office because look how important precious about is about to be for this basketball team right everything was about OG but look how important that man is about to be you know I mean I mean he had to play backup center when iHeart went

Out and now he’s going to have to you know step in and and uh have a bigger role because Jules is about to be out right I mean that ends up being a big move too yeah and if you remember Sim my reaction to the trade was when I found

Out because I didn’t know the whole particulars when I found out that they traded IQ and and um RJ for for OG I was a little iffy about it I was like I don’t know then when I found out we was getting precious back too I was like

Okay because I thought precious like I’m tell people keep you know saying Ron you bugging man I’m like no man I’m telling you precious used to get get busy I seen him get busy so I’m like I know he could play so yeah I think precious was a big

Part of that deal man and I think that’s what really helps you know it’s not just OG OG is incredible but precious really he he really gives us something that we were missing uh he just is a little bit out of position but look even now that’s working look what happens when the

Knicks get little time to have some practice and get comfortable with each other now precious is looking good as the backup center like it’s wild yeah yeah and listen I was just telling Steph the last caller not not not the show Steph but the caller Steph and um Tom

Tibido normally coaches his best with less you know what I mean so you know you know for whatever reason that’s how he is so he’s definitely got less now my fault I’m sorry said he’s Ely got less now right and you know the only thing that’s like a oxymoron is I’ve been

Calling tibs like the big man Whisperer I feel like he does great with big men I don’t know why he can’t get the best out of Jericho Sims I’m still trying to figure that out I don’t know what what’s the disconnect there I don’t know unfortunately maybe he is there you

Go way to think about that right maybe he is I hear you Tony be right he’s he’s still young though right I don’t know if you guys did it did you guys do like an announcement or anything about uh anything happened with our International friend uh uh yeah actually the last last

Show yeah the cat’s out the b would do that Josh would do that right Josh would definitely do that and he did [Laughter] it well guys listen man I appreciate y’all you know always man uh I’m glad we winning this is a fantastic time as I

Was saying you know yesterday on my show like this is the perfect storm everything is working together it’s not just the fact that we got OG here who o is great you see the difference between having that 3 and D guy with good size 68 but it’s not just that OG is

Incredible at what he does he’s he’s he’s he’s one of the best in the league at what he does and nicks are very fortunate to have a guy like that so every time Nick fans look at the mirror and start questioning where’s RJ where’s IQ understand you didn’t just get a a

Person to fill a position of need you got one of the best at it so that’s that’s something we can’t forget you know what I mean he’s definitely making a difference out there plus I was saying it yesterday Nicks have you know we finally get into a little bit of a

Comfort zone all that crazy schedule is kind of calmed down all them uh amounts of backto backs have calmed down and um you know we’re getting some practices in that’s when the team can really start to Jael and understand their roles precious feels comfortable OG starts to feel more

Comfortable and this is why the Knicks are clicking they’re looking great so to the rest of the league out there you know take notice man the Knicks is a real team that you got a plan for you got lucky that we lost Julius for a

Little bit but we still gonna put it on you yeah like I’ve been saying Brunson might go crazy right right I mean are you a little worried about that too I hate to be that guy but are you a little worried about the fact that now teams can bog

Down onon and do what they did yep you remember in the beginning of the season when Julius was favoring that ankle teams were doubling up on Brunson yeah I’m definitely a little worried about that team are just going to come at him you know I mean and and and just come at

Him come at him come at him yeah I’m a little worried about that now because now there’s nobody else to to there’s nobody else to pull the attention away from him right right they they’re talking about I mean obviously we know we’ve been talking about Brogden but they’ve

Been talking about I saw something uh it was actually mentioned earlier but I also heard it again on on um on the 718 boys show uh uh bogdanovic’s name is coming back into the fold you know the funny thing is I like bogdanovich I always thought he was a

Special player in Utah and stuff and I wanted him early when we first started thinking about a player but I don’t know about it now like I feel like the team is a little different so I don’t know if he kind of fits right yeah I don’t yeah I don’t know

We’ll see I you know Monday’s game against Charlotte tomorrow night’s game against Charlotte is going to be that’s going to be big that’s going to be a big game not you know that you’re worried about Charlotte but how do the Knicks look what kind of Intel

Are we getting to decide how to move forward with the trade line just two weeks away you know what I mean you know these next few games is going to be about getting Intel about this team and how we move agreed yeah 100% all right guys

Show love man I’m here appreciate you R appreciate you bro peace later yeah yeah it’s going to be you know it’s a lot to think about lot to think about man let’s get back to these uh you know talking about Brunson you know the Miami Heat don’t

Have too much respect for Brunson for whatever reason he said Brunson is not no star bro why do these call why do these ref give him the calls shake my head and then Tony I said you hating so you remember beating us in the playoffs but you don’t

Remember what Brunson did to y in the playoff exactly playoffs star numbers Superstar numbers against numbers Superstar numbers and Candace Parker now know knows what Brunson did in the playoffs too he knows how quickly they forget son you know what I’m saying I guarantee you I guarantee you kenis Parker will never

Speak upon the Knicks without having the right information again ever because fans came at her like crazy they can’t matter you know what I’m saying Ralph Onre said Frank is hating he’s delusional he is delusional go ask Eric sposta you know I’m saying Eric sposta was you he was speechless almost I can’t

This guy how’s how’s he not a he didn’t make the allstar team how’s he not an all NBA player like he was speechless he’s like we tried everything and there was nothing we could do there’s nothing we could do and he was right it was nothing that could do with

Brunson that’s why you know with Julius Randle being out and teams are gonna throw everything at him this dude might this dude might go for 40 a game CU he’s going to know like I gotta I gotta get it done you know I mean he might go for 40 a game

D or stand number 12 says so many players should be embarrassed that Brunson is better than them why just live just just deal with it like it’s no embarrassment right go get go get in the lab you know what I’m saying why like Brunson Brunson is just that dude man

He’s nice I don’t understand I guess because he don’t you know he’s not super fast and he don’t jump over everybody you know what I’m saying so um you know what I mean he he he do jump up so so they feel he’s not really that

Good but there’s more than one way to be good you don’t have to be the Super athlete to be good you know what I’m saying or or super flashy or super flashy or anything like that the coola said y’all are acting like we didn’t just struggle without Bruns in

Those few games now thinking it’s going to be pieces and cream without Randall delusional nah I don’t think anyone thinks it’s going to be pieces and cream at all I’m just saying Brunson might go off I ain’t saying we’re g to win those games but he might go off it’s going to

Be tough without Randall and Brunson might have it tougher without Randall but we’ve seen Brunson you know in those tough moments step up and play some of his best basketball you know so it’s definitely going to be tough without Randle man you know there’s no doubt about that

Um and the good thing is where we are um you know with these home games these home games continuing to pile up that that should help yeah you know what I mean um the lack of backto backs that should help like you mentioned the allstar break coming coming up which

Gives that extended you know five days or so for Rand where he’s not missing games during the recovery so it’s just it’s just the it’s bad timing but it but it’s also good timing you know what I mean that’s how it was with Co the last

The last when when I had covid you know say anytime you anytime you get a sickness is bad timing but since we had a bunch of bad weather I didn’t have to make miss any basketball games I thought I was going to have to miss a couple

Games I didn’t have to miss any is the games got cancelled so it actually came at the perfect time you know I mean hopefully it works out that way with Randle because you know I’ll say this the Knicks for you know a few games they may

Be able to you know they might be able to win but in the end you know if Randle would have missed the season you know that that would hurt the Nicks B time and and you know they you know maybe I don’t know probably a little bit over a team that’s a little

Bit over 500 without Randall you know what I’m saying similar to the way the Knicks were without Brunson right uh you know when when Brunson wasn’t the point guard and you know it was it was RJ and Randall you know they were probably just a little

Bit over 500 type of a team it’s probably what they are without Randall unless the next make a move again I don’t want the Knicks to make a crazy move out of desperation and use all their chips though you know what I mean but also you know time is you know

You know we always talk about the contract situation with the Knicks and how Brunson and Randle would do to get paid at you know in another year you know all of that front office got all of that comes into play but anyway the whoever this guy D is stand

Number 12 no reason to be embarrassed that Brunson is better than you he’s nice just respect it exactly he’s nice so you know calm down calm down a little bit this guy here said bam is getting abused on the boards by precious and Tony did you did you did

Bring that up that you like them match up they was they was giving B fits man I felt like it was like uh oh remember what y’all did to Randall right here a taste of your own medicine C he he was flustered even even even when it was going to a timeout or

Or a dead ball or something like that and Bam tried to do a little fake shimmy Randle still knocked the ball out of his hands he was like you ain’t even getting the fake shimmy off you know what I’m saying no rhythm no momentum no go back to the

[ __ ] it wasn’t giving him nothing jayen said this is Bam if he wasn’t a good Defender that’s foul business though come on man come on the nasis is in the NBA you gotta be great to make it to the league or you gotta have a great brother or you gotta have a great

Brother like Chris Smith had a great brother and and and and JR Smith Smith yeah gota have a great great brother this guy here said my dead grandmother could rebound better than any player on this team right now sh if his dead grandmother rebounds out the grave that’s something

Special that’s something special he could have at least said as good he said he said better better he said better Ron Clark yeah the nases wants a Nick that’s back when they the Knicks thought they was going to try to get Yannis like why else would they bring in

The nanes remember that they thought you know uh uh Steve Mills and them thought they was going to be able to get Giannis apparently they he was on the radar this this pass off season right yeah you know I mean I don’t know Yannis if if he’s ever going to become

Available Kevin say she might need a contract I mean yeah I mean listen they can do it once they give it to her there gonna be dead money get it back as dead money who’s gonna sign it right you know what I’m saying her executor guess whoever whoever whoever was

Executing her will let me stop messing with that man’s grandmother before I get haunted something crazy like that but he he brought it up he brought it up yeah Rebecca said these are some of the most one-sided boring announcers I’ve ever heard I guess because they was you know they like

Brunson and and they respect what the Knicks are doing yeah and Miami’s on a you know six game losing streak now they’re not good right now they’re not good so you know what do you expect and and you know Brunson is like you know the the new wave in the

NBA right now because because he doesn’t have the speed and he doesn’t jump over everybody and he’s able to um you know find his way use footwork use body control you know in those type of ways to to to score you people are amazed at at what

He’s able to do so yeah they’re going to be you know they’re gonna they’re gonna stop brunsing out right now Miami he had their time saying but their time might be over yeah and we you know they they on the longest losing streak we on the longest winning streak We Fresh Off The

Uh this amazing run that we on with OG or or to start the new year like of course they’re G to be talking about us the way they should be at this point you know what I mean like we the hottest team in the league hottest Team of the

Year best defense of of the year like we’re our trajectory is going up y’all’s going down that’s how that’s how they gonna talk about you right shoot and now you know with Rando out who I don’t know the defense might get better offense won’t but the defense might I

Mean not saying that we don’t need Rando folks not saying that just saying you know if you end up putting a guy in there like prees who might be a little bit better Defender your defense might get better but then the offense might be might be tough it’s going to be interesting to

See how the ball moves uh you know how things get done on the offensive side of the ball without Julie Randle you know is definitely going to be interesting to see but you know speaking in the heat you know being what they are right now Rob said

They do this to us every year make us doubt make us Wonder raise our blood pressure only to then go off in the playoffs I mean I don’t know the the Heats flame is burning out you know what I’m saying you know and and they do have the type of

Team you know they have done that but they don’t have KY Lowry there now right they had KY Lowry you know the last two seasons three seasons whatever it is he’s one of those guys that can keep you together to help you get it done in the

Playoffs now they got Terry year he’s a different guy you know what I’m saying he may not have now I know you know what you know a couple years ago he um helped lead Boston to the Eastern Conference Finals or whatever um but you know he’s still not he don’t

Have that the kind of head that KY lari you know what I’m saying he don’t got a brain like KY lari you know he don’t got the basketball IQ like KY Lowry Championship experience Championship experience you know what I’m saying so like it’s it’s it’s a different

Team mean and I I when I don’t think that they have I don’t think they have it to do it like that again you mean so I think you know their flame is burning out and you know they’ll be for the next couple of years I think they’ll they’re still going to

Be a competitive team and a tough team but I think you’re going to start to see where they kind of just in the middle of the pack right they got they got contracts Jimmy buckler on the books until 2526 right uh he has a player option for

52 million in 2526 B manab bio is on the books until 2526 Tyler hero he’s on the books till 26 27 you know I mean listen in Miami he always find a way to do something but the last couple of years when these players have been available they a’t get

Them you know they didn’t get dami l or anybody else that was available so you know they may be you know they may be com to an end I had seen one guy I don’t know if I if I put that in the in the in the um

You know for us to review but one guy was saying how he’s tired of Jimmy Butler and you know and the heat really kind of just turning it on at the end of the year or in the playoffs and they need to have that energy throughout the year right and you

Know I mean because one of these years you know they they going to they’re going to slide out the the play in or something and and you know you can’t just wait till the end right right right and this is where you know I don’t know if it was Joseph but D Joseph

Said treade Jimmy and Tyler at this point at this point you know what I mean um I mean it’s I think it’s hard it’s probably hard to trade Jimmy Butler because you know he has a big Contra I’m not I say it’s hard to trade him I think people still still respect

Who he is and what he does so U maybe you could trade him I don’t know so basically this guyy saying let’s break the team down to start over you trading Jimmy and you’re trading Tyler you break him down let’s start over that’s what he’s saying yeah I don’t know how you trade

Jimmy man he’s the one guy he’s the one guy that you know you know you give him the ball down a stretch you know I mean put him on the best guy on the other team right they should be saying get Jimmy help yeah I I I guess maybe this guy is

Thinking you know like kind of like I’m thinking even with Jimmy they gonna be middle of the pack we might as well start over you know I don’t know if Miami I don’t know if my if that’s what I don’t know if that’s what they’re

Doing if if if I don’t know if they are the type if they’re the type of organization that’s just going to start from scratch I don’t know SPO is like yeah I want to start from scratch scratch you know what I mean I don’t know 3x said SPO just watch the nigs go

Back up nine I see why his wife left them know a little that’s a little personal bro I wish he would have elaborated because I don’t see the correlation what we doing talking about him and that man’s wife that’s fans sometimes just have no bounds no bounds no no no no boundaries

Bounds No Boundaries No Boundaries that’s crazy you know what I’m saying yeah yeah that’s crazy I don’t know I don’t know like people just be bugging twe that and your boy bringing up his own his own rest in peace grandmother right they bringing up that’s crazy building block says SPO got his

Money he’d be fine with a rebuild for a couple of Seasons I believe they retool if they get eliminated early in the playoffs yeah he does got his money and you know uh big money too yeah he he’s got his money so maybe he will you know be cool with retooling a

Team how old is spoke late 40s I would think so late 40s or something like that so he’s got a lot of time to coach still he got a lot of time to coach now he’s 53 still got a lot of time to coach a lot of times with Coach I don’t

Know if he wants to coach either one of these guys though lovess said we need Obi toppen from the Pacers or Gafford from the Wizards I can could see Gafford helping him I don’t know about uh Obie but it was very interesting to see some interest from a from a fan

Base yeah do you think Obie could fall into that heat culture though and they could like he could be they could say all right you know we’re GNA turn this guy into a Defender I mean I think I think under good coaching and opportunity Obi could could be a lot

Better and and could he fit with with my um I mean it’s not many people that aren’t going to fit you know what I mean if you gonna put the work in which I believe he will you know I mean I think he he would be fine but I think he would

Be a lowend signing for them you know I mean it’s he Ain he ain’t going there and changing the heat culture the the heat Are Gonna Change Obie if if anything right you know what I mean they gon they gonna put that flame under him

Um and if he is moved again now that timeline starts ticking you know what I mean those uh is it’s like 13 you know I mean it starts the onest becomes on him more than anybody else right but Gafford I can see them help um using another

Big um the potential of just bam not playing the five all the time I think they need that um small ball is really really hurting them I believe yeah um Obie I don’t know starting to sound like ob’s gonna get passed around the league you know I mean I mean if you get

You know traded to the Pacers now the Pacers you know obviously they just got uh what’s his name from Toronto so pass so now they they got him up for trade you know on the trading block and people was mad that he wasn’t playing over Julie Randall I don’t know

Jacob toppen do you think the Nick should bring up Jacob toppen to to try to play some power forward obviously not the start but try to help fill some of that power forward role um I don’t see him actually getting the opportunity even if even if he’s brought

Up I feel like honestly I feel like Precious has taken over any potential opportunity for for Jacob you know once precious came aboard once he started finding his little niche um and he’s already has the NBA experience yeah he’s Jacob’s not going to get no opportunity right now and

That’s kind of what I feel you know I don’t think he’s going to get an opportunity he has never touched the foot in the NBA you know Kevin said tibs isn’t bringing up no Jacob toppen I don’t yeah I don’t think they’re bringing up Jacob toppen you know they let him simmer down

In the G league and learn and you know I think Tom Tibido when when Jacob toppa was mentioned did mention that he likes what he does defensively you know he’s got to learn some things offensively you know um I meant to bring this up earlier when

We were talking about t roier SCH Jacob said because of because of course Rosier would suck as soon as we get him just great and uh you know Tony said you’re not gonna give him time to jail it’s been like three games I mean yeah he just got he just got there just

Got I think he’s coming off the bench um he’s playing off the ball which I think is a disservice ESP you know what I mean so all those things tell me that he’s not acclimated yet you know I mean he hasn’t picked up the the the the Playbook yet

You know I mean like so um they’ve been on the road too I don’t even know if they’ve had a practice you know what I mean like he so it’s like gez dude I know how it is when you losing bro we know how it is Kyle said Randall

Knows he can overpower everyone it’s time to counter that you’re not countering it yeah that’s why I was like counter how right Tony said R only Randle can stop Randall yeah I mean Rand randle’s a different Randle this year you know what I’m saying you you not only Randle stopping himself this

Year at least only only only Randle was stopping himself well or a shoulder injury could stop him or shoulder injury can stop him too it’s the only things that could stop him this year himself an injury you know self an injury the Nicks had I mean Brunson went down for a spell

For a couple of games randle’s out Mitchell Robins the nigas have really had injuries you know started to have some injury issues this year Greg said they countered that with an injury yep hey dude whatever is hey step under Randle next time he goes in the air step

Under him don’t give him no space I don’t I don’t think they did that for real though I think he was I think it was a you know it was a good play it was just a crazy accident I don’t think they had that been bam I would have felt

Differently because you know bam don’t bam don’t take no charges or nothing like that so yeah Kevin said I’m willing to bet we won’t slide that far in the standings we are better with Randall but we aren’t bad enough to fall that far I hope so you know I’m hoping that

We can you know stay you know 500 or better you know just a little bit above you know stay a little bit above 500 we stay a little bit above 500 I mean right now the Knicks are what 12 13 12 games above 500 so even if we stay one game above

500 we improve our record two games above we improve our record and I think we’re good enough to do that especially based on the type of schedule that we’ll have coming up you know what I’m saying we have a light schedule this half of the Season uh I think we can

Stay you know one or two games above 500 you mean and if we stay on that level of Team until Randle gets back you know we just you know we just got to whole water R gets back and I think we can do that I mean

Think we can do that right now the Knicks record is 29 and7 te so we’re two games above I mean two games 12 games above 500 you know and if we can stay we could just stay there we’ll be good let me get to the last phone call

Of the day ladies and gentlemen last phone caller caller your live name me where you from please hey Sam it’s Ron from or Ang been a minute spoken to you what’s going on Ron how you feeling man hey happy and sad like everybody else at the last night you know what I’m

Saying yeah it’s just crazy it’s like can’t catch a break with a Nick you know yeah man I know yeah so uh but um like I said this is uh I’d rather this happen now than during the beginning of the we had the toughest I think we had probably the

Toughest schedule at the beginning of the season so right um I mean it’s not good to have an injured player but it’s better that happen now we have a easier schedule the first part of the season so that’s the way I look at it you know so definitely because if this happened in

The beginning of the season with the way the schedule was that could have been a rough time yeah that would that would have been tough that would really really tough to you know to overcome and um and um but you know um I think right now just like uh I watching Interview the

Other day with the former president of the N Scott Perry on someone’s podcast and they were asking him the same question like you see fores see the Knicks making any major moves and he felt like in his opinion he felt like the Knicks you stand pack they should only wor by try

To get something like someone that can score Off the Bench that can you know come in and give like a you know 10 15 points Off the Bench but you think that next year should just stay Pat and then maybe see what happens in the summer

Because I think what a lot of fans forget is that you know if we if we make a trade it’s not going to really move the needle is it really worth it you know because there’s no there’s no MVP out there that we going to be able to

Get and me Miss season even if we did he said sometimes you can get that player is that player going to jail what we got going on the chemistry the continuity that we have you know but you know not to change topic but it’s crazy how guys

Like and you talked about before your show um about Stephen A and all these guys who talk to much crap about we should have Don Mitchell or you know our point guard is not a onea but everybody sleeping on OKC if I’m correct I don’t think they even have one Superstar on in

On OKC right and I think they’re number one in the west I mean they got SGA he’s all NBA yeah no no I mean he’s a he’s a starting point guard right this point guard for the right he’s Ste starter for the West right yeah yeah yeah yeah so so

No I’m not no sh I mean he he’s a great player so I don’t think nothing away from them but I’m saying is that you know no one’s running to go no one’s run to go to a play for OKC but sh the NBA

Is like look we know how to build a team without you know even though they Lo all the superstars are gone and here it is they back back in the pitcher number one in the west so it’s like there more than one way to cat a slice you know but you

I think this the whole thing about getting an MVP or we need a superstar I think the next from what we’ve been suffering for the last couple years I have to get the front office it’s crazy all this is going on with J still own [Laughter]

Them you know you for you like we need to sell the team like no one’s going to give them Doan the credit but it sounds to me like he’s he’s not interfering he’s play the front office do what they need to do so well he definitely right now he you know he got

This court he got this you know he’s definitely not interfering right now because he’s on trial or about to be on trial yeah you know for for sexual assault so you know he ain’t got no time to think about the Knicks or the Rangers or anything else or his rock and roll band

Yeah you know what I’m saying I forgot about that he has a little Bob guess so but uh I don’t know you think you think if he uh you think with this core situation uh the NBA will step in and force him to sell a team or you

Think he it’s not like the same thing like what happened with Sterling few years ago with the Clippers uh you know we talked about this a little bit um I don’t think I think um right now they’re just going to wait and see what happens because they’re all allegations right

Now so yeah you know they they can’t do anything right now because it’s just allegations they could be proven wrong or they could be proven correct you know so right now I think they’re just going to wait and see how things play out and then they’ll um

Yeah and and then they’ll do something yeah well I I just my pray is that you know we come out okay with this second half and if we can move up in the standing and just avoid Boston you know or or maybe I I mean I don’t know I mean

What do you think like CH is off from um against Philly and Milwaukee in the first round I mean I mean if that comes down to I don’t think it come down to that but I like too those those top three teams in the first round i’ like

I’d like to avoid them because they’re tough but I feel like with Julius Randall as long as we have Julius Randle I think we can beat I think we can beat him yeah I do yeah I like that chances and I like the way rand’s playing even

Though there’s a lot of big fans that not crazy about r but I think the fact that he’s playing he’s going more to the rack he’s playing More Physical on the post you know and plus he has Shooters you know he don’t have to do it all he

Could just you know he can kick it out he got shooter so before in the past he’s driving crazy when Julius Randy try to you know bring the ball up but now he don’t have to do that you know he got he got help but hopefully this injury won’t

Keep him out too long I mean from I watched that video was talking about earlier but that doctor and he was saying depending if there’s any ligament it depends how how the should if if he T anything based on M will determine if he’s going to be out

For more than four weeks or not I watch that video talking about yeah that was a good video right every everyone should go check that out um that’s a good video yep yeah yeah man well good talking to your good luck with everything on the show and like I said

Know fingers crossed not g work hopefully this thing is not gonna L more than a month and hopefully I mean hopefully we can get Mitch Mitch back and Rand in time before the season end that would be great exactly that’d be really good really good hey I appreciate

The call man appreciate the time be easy all right take care guys peace take care yeah no doubt billy goat said the Rosen is the only player that can that won’t cost too much who can put up Randle type production let him play the

Three and move o to the four I mean I actually I agree with you 100% you know you can he’s 20 28.9 million is what he makes uh you can use Evan for’s contract still going to have to put a little bit more in there maybe you can that traded

Player exception you could probably use that I don’t know if you can couple that with other players but this ways to get Demar D rozan without having to give up the farm I seen someone ask that in the chat as well um haran said you know is D

Roosen getable without giving up the farm I think he’s definitely getable the issue like me and Tony were discussing last night is his contract ends at the end of the season the Knicks want to have somebody the Knicks want to actually extend Evan for’s contract out not necessarily by having Evan

Forier on the team but by using it to trade for someone who has another year or two left on their contract so that they can then trade that person for a star per se you know what I’m saying now this doesn’t mean you can’t get the Rosen and

Extend them during the summer but then you can’t trade them for 6 months so if that star comes available in the summer the roosen would be off the table you know what I’m saying he would be off the table Greg said the uh more old heads get Bridges I’ve seen some a

Lot of people say hey push all push all the chips to the table and try to coax Brooklyn in the trading Bridges maybe that is the move because now you you know you got Bridges you got uh Brunson you got OG and then when Randle comes back you still got

Bridges and and you know a lot of people have talked about what it would look like with Brunson Bridges OG Randall and ihart or mitt so you know make come an offer they can’t refuse offer they can’t refuse I can see that yeah uh Megan said word on the

Street is we’re gonna have to attach several picks in order to trade nbk for Sim yeah you know you know if if if they GNA trade me they gonna have to put you know the Nicks gonna have to be getting some picks back as I’m on my way to

Brooklyn then and then I’m I’m probably gonna ask for a buyou I’m asking for a buyou asking for a buyou immed immediately immediately buy me out I’m not showing up I ain’t showing I ain’t showing up buy me out anyway folks we’re gonna get up out of here we appreciate your time

Appreciate the calls uh it was great show you know fun show and yeah you know if we get any news I mean it sounds like from things that I’m reading maybe he did get the MRI yesterday or you know last night or today or something like that everyone’s waiting for everybody’s

Waiting you know what I mean and I see some reporters just say you know we don’t have it or I don’t have it soon as I get it I’ll let you know so right now Randall and Brunson are trending on Twitter yeah so but on before you get

Out of here what’ you say I was saying before you get out of here got a super chat up there appreciate that thank you the art man formerly known as Steve I appreciate thank you for the Super Chat bro said afternoon fellas now that teams know we
