New York Knicks vs Houston Rockets PREVIEW 🏀

New York Knicks vs Houston Rockets PREVIEW 🏀

What is going on nck Nation welcome back to Nix media today is game day we got our beloved New York Knicks on the road for the first time and it feels like forever they are in Houston tonight and they will be looking to get back in the

Winning column the Knicks are on a little losing streak two in a row okay two for my liking and the Knicks are going up against a 23 and 29 Rockets team a young team a pesky team and in this live show I want to preview tonight’s matchup for the New York

Knicks and he from Knicks fans in the live chat or on replay in the comment section your overall thoughts and perspectives of the New York Knicks heading into this one now we do have some positive injury news ladies and gentlemen we may be getting some reinforcements back on the front line of

Defense for the New York Knicks we saw Saturday night I’d have to say the biggest reason why we lost to the Pacers was because of the injuries to the big boys Isaiah hartenstein being out in that game and Taj Gibson starting I don’t want to blame that as the sole reason but I

Might have to because the Knicks got outrebounded they couldn’t get Second Chance opportunities they couldn’t protect the paint usually what the Knicks are best at and that is because hardenstein was injured as well as Jericho Sims and tonight Jericho Sims is listed as probable so that tells me that

Jericho Sims seems to be returning to action tonight and Isaiah hardenstein is questionable with a sore achilles now usually he’s been ruled out so the fact that hardin’s not been ruled out is a promising sign of progression that he is doing okay now honestly if I’m the

Knicks I’d prefer to just not play hardenstein for these next two games I think Jericho Sims is enough reinforcements I think the Knicks can win even just with Jericho Sims returning of him being in the starting five and Gibson Off the Bench with of course precious atua um that’s just me

Being precautious that’s just me trying to protect is hardenstein because of course he has a big big say in how the Knicks are successful as a basketball team but if he’s ready to go he should definitely play absolutely shout out to everybody tuning in we got Daniel saying

Yo what’s up what’s up what’s up guys hit that thumbs up button on your way into the show whether you’re watching this Live on YouTube or you’re watching us live here on X make sure you retweet me here on Twitter follow the account check me out here on YouTube as well

We’re live baby let’s go now yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday so it was a lot of football talk but today you flip the page baby basketball season is here and it’s just honestly not getting started but I would say you know this week being the All-Star break we’re

Kind of getting to that mid part of the NBA season and you can really kind of look at the standings and see which teams are separating themselves from the others and the next right now we’re in a really interesting situation when it comes to the Eastern Conference

Standings now if you guys go look at the sings the Knicks are currently the fourth seed right this is today is a big day for the NBA today is a big day when it comes down to the NBA uh standings because the Knicks are taking on the

Rockets the Pacers are on the road in Charlotte so that’s probably going to win be a win the Cavaliers are home against the Philadelphia 76ers and they’re 10 and a half Point favorites in that one the Cavaliers are one of the hottest teams in basketball um so that’s

Going to be a hard game for them to lose the Bulls versus The Hawk I mean the and then the Nuggets bucks so that’s a big game the nuggets are on the road against the Bucks and the New York Knicks are one game back from Milwaukee

For that third seed so if the Knicks win and the Bucks lose the Knicks will take that third seed right back because if you look at the standings the Knicks are 33 and 20 the Bucks are 34 and 19 the Cavs are 35- 16 sheesh the Cavaliers are scorching scorching hot so definitely

Want to get your guys thoughts of what to expect in tonight’s matchup and getting into match up against the Houston Rockets a little more in depth for sure Jason says do you think the Knick’s chemistry will be on point in time for the playoffs because there are so many long-term injuries for the

Knicks right now I wouldn’t say they’re long-term injuries I mean yeah of course OG on and Obi feels like it’s longterm but he’ll be back Julius Randle feels like longterm but he will be back Mitchell Robinson’s been done for a while I honestly don’t think so I think

That the main priority of course needs to be these players getting healthy but based off the chemistry and based off the next men up mental I think when they do get healthy it’s going to be fit in like a glove White Mike says I’m late do

We have a center tonight or what so I did actually give you guys an injury update uh basically we are getting some players back Jericho Sims seems to be definitely returning and Isaiah hardenstein is trending towards playing it’s not official yet there is a chance that hardenstein doesn’t play he’s

Questionable but Jericho Sims is probable so that tells me Sims is going to be back and then hardenstein still up in the air and we all know that we need a center Taj Gibson we love you you Taj it’s nothing but love but your time as a basketball player is done Taj Gibson

Okay I don’t want to see you starting meaningful games for the New York Knicks again I gotta say it we love Tosh Gibson here in New York but I think it’s time to put on the jumpsuit and become a coach Taj it’s time I he kept trying to

Get some offense a little spin move a little hook shot he can’t can do anything the GU isn’t just not and it’s sad because that just shows you how injured the New York Knicks are do we have Taj Gibson starting for us Mitchell Robinson’s down for significant time

Hardenstein goes down with the sore achilles Jericho Sims is ill so our top three centers out which results in Taj Gibson our fourth string Center plug it in now we’re not gonna do anything with Taj Gibson as a starter so hopefully Jericho Sims can come back tonight and

Kind of wreck some Havoc but I do want to highlight you know the new Knicks right boan bogdanovic coming off his Nicks debut Alec Burks coming off his re Nicks debut if you will because it’s not his first game as a Nick it’s kind of his first game after returning to the

New York Knicks now Alec Burke’s had a really good game Alec Burks brought in exactly what we wanted Off the Bench giving us 20 plus points on an efficient shooting Buon didn’t have the greatest night but I’m definitely not concerned about buan bogdanovich and I think that

You know the last two games before the All-Star break being in Houston and in Orlando it’s going to be a good opportunity for both Burks and Bo and Buon to kind of get their feet wet and understand their roles with this Knicks team because as the Knicks get healthier

And healthier I think both of those players their roles are going to get diminished so this is their time to really step up big time in both Burks and Bo so definitely curious to see what they do tonight Richard says agree love Taj have some mercy tips give my guy a

Break bro we’re seeing Taj Gibson out there huffing and puffing bro this poor guy turn it into the new New York Mets with injuries but I’m optimistic oh gosh hopefully it doesn’t turn into the Mets I believe Mitch starts some form of practicing next week yes so uh Mitchell

Robinson is returning to uh the court after the All-Star break in terms of resuming some basketball activities which definitely is a positive I think that the way I look at it I don’t know any inside information but if I had to speculate Mitchell Robinson could return

To play for the Knicks in April kind of like right before the playoffs like a week before get him in on the court for a couple games that’s kind of where I’m looking at because if he’s resuming basketball activities after the All-Star break kind of towards at at the back end

Of February and then he has all of March to really heal up and get back and ramp up and get back into basketball shape and then April is the time that you can expect Mitchell Robinson potentially back bearing any setbacks and that’ll be definitely huge Taj could be a coach

Instead of a player I would love that Taj you’re a great person don’t take it the wrong way and I think he even know knows himself he’s dumb what’s up romelo I’m so happy we didn’t trade for Brogden or D rozan I would not like those players of the team

I am really comfortable with the moves we made this year me too the moves we made this year I think were perfect two big trades okay we traded two we had two big trades and we had to sacrifice a lot of Talent on our roster

But not a lot of draft picks so the Knicks have all their first round picks to talk about do you have any players we should get on the buyout Market I don’t know I feel like the Knicks are done bro I really do feel like the

Knicks I mean there could be they have two roster spots open which is definitely kind of like opening up some speculation I got to go in there and see because I feel like if there was a team if there was players to get bought out for the Knicks to bring

In they would have done it by now um but hey you never know there’s always going to be players available always going to be opportunities for the Knicks to upgrade their roster the question is when we need this win because we haven’t won yet since we got Burks and BOS I

Mean it’s been one game but yes it’s been one game um I definitely feel like the Knicks are going to be fine okay the Knicks will be fine tonight and they will get the job done okay they will get the job done I don’t know about you guys

But I Got Confidence tonight I love blo yovic is touch so different from the entire team bonovich me too I like him he you know who Buon reminds me of Steve Novak with a bag a guy that is a knockdown Sharpshooter from downtown but he can

Also put the ball on the floor and get a bucket if he needs to right Steve Novak was just camping in the corner discount double check spot up shooter well Buon can do that but he can also create his own shot that’s why I like him I think

It’s going to be interesting to see Jaylen and Mitchell play together on this on the All-Star Game yeah that’s going to be interesting for sure need a center Robin Lopez is Robin Lopez available man I just hope we get healthy because I do not want Robin Lopez near my New York

Knicks not going to lie but hey if we have to we have to that’s the sad truth right that’s the sad truth of this reality of the New York Knicks we’re so banged up with injuries folks we’re so banged up with injuries it’s getting a little frustrating do you know Mitchell is

Ninth in the MVP race what’s what’s Jaylen Brunson we should give toin a chance Off the Bench now I know that Nicks fans love seeing like g-league players Thrive and they want to give the young players opportunities but I don’t know if Jacob toppin is ready I know it seems like he

Is but all I’ll say is this trust the Knicks organiz I think now we can officially put our trust in the Knicks organization in developing young players because bringing players up too prematurely and giving them realtime NBA minutes before they’re ready could hinder development and I don’t know if

Now’s the Time to bring up Jacob because he’s thriving in the in Westchester let him keep thriving and let him go win the slam dunk contest maybe kelvin’s in the chat guys please go smash that like button and subscribe hit that notification Bell guys listen to our boy

Players who know what to do Kudos hey man they know what to do if there’s anything about the New York Knicks all of a sudden the I have all my faith in it and it’s crazy how I can actually put my trust in this Nicks

Organization by the way I do have to ask you guys a question did you guys watch The Roommate show the Josh Hart and Jaylen Brunson podcast did anybody tune in to that I’m curious to get your guys thoughts of it but as JB said we got to win some

Games now yeah of course we can be really excited and happy about the potential of this Knicks team none of it will matter until they start winning games right now okay none of it will matter until they start winning games right now and that’s really all that matters they gotta win

I’ll take Lopez over Taj okay yeah for sure I mean is yeah Robin Lopez bring him in you convinced me I don’t think they’ll struggle um yes the podcast was bonic uh boring stick the ball did you guys feel the same way was the roommate show a

Little too boring for you folks let me know the podcast was cool it was different to see the personalities outside of basketball yeah I agree I mean I I definitely enjoyed it um it they definitely have some work to do in terms of keeping you engaged but I think

That you know hearing from Jaylen Brunson and Josh Hart and getting their behind the scenes stories of illin NOA USA Basketball some locker room stuff some just I don’t know I I I really liked it I think it has a really big potential to Boom good first episode to break the ice

Next episode should be more relaxed Vibes yeah and I you guys know their special guest it’s going to be um maau Bridges I’m pretty sure is the next guest for episode two show has potential it definitely does I agree we will survive two more games until the break I sure hope

So I like the Burks trade but not sure about baj only because of the defense Grimes provides I rather have Grimes than baj just my opinion yeah I mean you’re definitely trading away a defense of player for an offensive threat and the idea I think from from the Knicks

Standpoint is they don’t have enough offense around Jaylen Brunson with all the injuries right so the Knicks had to get and some offensive help Off the Bench without ogan anobi and without Julius Randle you know Dante D venzo deserves a lot of credit because he’s been stepping up big time from a scoring

Standpoint when those guys went down but it’s not sustainable right so I think also you got to keep it uh think of it this way buan has playoff experience right he’s a veteran that knows how to perform in the big moments and I feel like the Knicks going into a

Win now mode right shipping away Grimes for buan listen Grimes I love them as a player he brings defense he brings streaky shooting but I trust buan on the offensive end way more and that’s really what I feel like the Knicks need in the playoffs clutch shooting somebody that

Can just because now the Knicks are deep from an offensive perspective right they have many weapons that can can kill you they of course have Jaylen Brunson and Julius renal the two leaders of this team the all stars but now Dante Dean chenzo is actually becoming a legit scorer a legit Sharpshooter from

Downtown and he’s actually putting the ball on the floor and attacking the paint and I’ve been impressed with his offensive game these last few weeks when oan and Obi returns he’s not like the biggest offensive threat but he can you know knock down clutch shots and then

Now you have Burks and Buon Off the Bench let’s not forget folks the Knicks had no offense off the bench after the trade Emanuel quickley was their go-to guy from an offensive threat standpoint Off the Bench but now when you we traded Emanuel quickley the Knicks lacked an

Offensive threat Off the Bench and they knew that that’s why they went out there and got both Alec Burks and boan bogdanovich because now the Knicks have defense Off the Bench with Duce and Josh Hart and now they have offense Off the Bench with Burks and bogdanovic thought on Brunson versus

Halton I think they low-key don’t like each other much l well but they seem to play a little harder when they play each other actually if you listen to the podcast they are friends there’s a a a group chat with Jaylen Brunson Josh Hart I think mcau Bridges and Tyrese

Halberton or I don’t know if mcau Bridges the fourth but there’s a group chat it was from USA basketball um that they talk they they text in the group chat so they’re actually friends with hurn off the court obviously when you get on the court and they’re playing

Each other they don’t like each other but um I think they’re actually friends off the court once we get back uh once we get our guys back we going to be a force just proud of the few that we keep battling and keeping us in the standings

Yeah I mean it’s remarkable that the Knicks are even here in the first place with all the injuries the Knicks easily could have said yeah we’re way too injured like we’re not but they could fall on their ass and just not play good but that’s not the case folks it’s

Not the case the New York Knicks have done a phenomenal phenomenal job of doing what they do best of plugging in players when they’re injured and not making any excuses and I absolutely love that about this team they’re not making excuses and they’re going out there and playing ball no matter who is

Available I would rather Grimes over Burks now of course Grimes has more upside for the long term but right now Burks is the better player I’m sorry Burks has more versatility gives you more of a veteran presence more of a caling nature not a knock on Grimes

But right now Grimes has more upside though for sure that’s how I look at it seen roommates too yeah I mean I liked it bring Bridges to the Garden right he’s the missing piece if we get maau Bridges bro start booking your hotels in New York City for the championship

Parade just kidding maybe I’m not kidding who knows guys hit that like button on your way in folks what do we think about Brunson in the Three-Point Contest and of course the All-Star game I think it’s going to be fun I mean Jaylen Brunson deserves to be in the

Three-Point Contest he’s shooting 40% from downtown right now and I mean at a high volume might I add he’s not not it’s not like he’s shooting three or four threes a game pretty sure he shooting like five or seven per game so awesome to see Jaylen in the Three-Point

Contest and you know and of course in the All-Star game we wish that Julius was healthy to represent the Knicks in there but obviously he’s not able to go out there and play but Jaylen Brunson his ability to be an All-Star this year we all know last year he was snubbed

This year we feel like he was snubbed for being an All-Star starter but let’s just take what we got and enjoy it I think it’s going to be a lot of fun this might sound crazy but do you think we can get quickly back in the future you never

Know we got Tim Hardway Jr back we we drafted Tim Hardway Jr we traded him away and then he came back Alec Burks is back Tosh Gibson’s back now I don’t I’ll say this I don’t think the Knicks are going to bring him back this off season

And pay him but hey five years from now Emanuel quickley is a little veteran who knows where we’re at he wants to come home you never know you never know Dante should have been in the Three-Point Contest yeah I agree Dan he is a sniper bro his release is so quick too and

Fluid I love Dante’s release bro he never overthinks it he just lets that thing fly he is the perfect example of a volume three-point threat you shoot a lot what would you give up to get Bridges uh a lot of first round picks a lot of

Firsts deuce and Jero I don’t know I mean those are the only two players left on the team that has trade value even though we can’t really trade the now but it’s pass the trade deadline anyway RJ’s doing very well in Toronto yeah shout out to my guy RJ Barrett man definitely

Rooting for him in Toronto I think that trade the Knicks made with Toronto is a win-win for both sides I genuinely think that it’s a win-win for both sides um for the Knicks and the Toronto Raptors now the the the Raptors are entering a new trajectory in their little uh stage they’re sitting

At 19- 34 yikes I mean maybe RJ’s playing well individually but the Raptors are sinking right they’re five games out from the 10 seed which is the playing so I don’t even think the Raptors are going to make the playing tournament neither the Brooklyn Nets if

You look at the standings the the teams that are in the playing right now or the Orlando Magic Miami Heat Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks bro I know that the Miami Heat kind of like stink right now but I don’t care about the regular season I got to give Miami their credit

I hate them one of my least favorite teams in the NBA but let’s not forget what the Miami he did last year they were the eighth seed they were in the playing tournament and they made the finals so I don’t give a damn about the playing tournament Miami is going to get

Out of that and I’ll say this again I do not want to see him in the first round no thank you Kelvin says guys let’s get the likes to 50 all right Kelvin let’s make that the goal how many do we got we got a total of 23 so folks hit that like

Button right now for your boy we would greatly appreciate that let’s get this up to 50 likes baby New York Knicks basketball is back tonight on MSG in Houston the first time the New York Knicks are lot are on the road it feels like in a minute in a minute it’s going

To be a lot of fun against the team that they should beat I think we got the if uh I think we got the heat the Celtics is the only team I’m worried about yeah I mean the bucks the Cavs are redot I also like feel like the Cavaliers are playing

Really good and I know some Knicks fans feel so confident against them and I do too if I’m being honest but I don’t know let’s not get too cocky and be like oh the Cavs we beat them in five last year like the Cavs are lighting it up even

Though I would say the Knicks are a better team than they were last year and they are a different team the Knicks are a completely different team and we also don’t know what the Knicks even are when healthy that’s the scariest thing in a positive way

When the Knicks are fully loaded with OG and Randall and Mitch dude are you kidding me and hardenstein I can’t even imagine what this next team is going to be like are you surprised with Cleveland’s recent form um if you look at the Knicks or sorry if you look at the Cavs

Who are they beat up on they beat up on the Raptors I mean their the previous the only wins that are like significant are against who the Clippers they beat that’s impressive they lost to the Bucks and then they beat the Bucks they beat the magic I mean you

Look at their games there’s no opponent they beat that’s impressive other than the clippers but hey the Knicks they went on a winning streak they were beating up on bad teams but the Knicks also blew out the Nuggets they beat the heat uh but listen I think the Cavaliers

Are definitely a team that we have to start take a little bit more seriously for sure they on the Pistons with that defense and look like fools when they beat a mud hole Lakers during the finals will chesse to be honest I’d rather face Miami than the Pacers in the playoffs yeah I

Definitely I don’t really you know what I don’t want to think of it this way I don’t want to be like oh I want to verse this team in the playoffs every rather verse this team in the playoffs whoever we get in the playoffs let’s beat

Them I’m not afraid of nobody how about that this is the mindset we need from Rodney at full strength we can beat anybody how about that at full strength we could beat anybody bring me them we blew out the defending Champion Denver Nuggets when we weren’t fully healthy so just

Imagine what we can do defense was the key Rose nailed it yeah I mean when imagine Mitchell Robinson back I know that we’re all in love with Isaiah hardenstein or rightfully so but let’s not forget the defensive dominance of Mitchell Robinson I feel like a lot index fans are forgetting about that

Because of his injury he single-handedly took over the Cleveland Cavaliers Series last year and this year early on before his injury he was playing his best basketball of his life leading the NBA and second chance rebounds offensive rebounds by a large margin and just being a disrupting Force

Down low in the paint defensively so please let’s not forget about how important Mitchell Robinson is to this team because I feel like there’s a lot of Knicks fans that are forgetting about him it was almost an omen that Robinson injury we would never know what hardenstein was capable of yeah I mean

Listen the only positives to any injury in any sport is it gives the next man up an opportunity and is he going to run with that opportunity or is he going to crumble hardenstein stepped up and is running with his opportunity another example is Dante D venzo with the

Injuries to Randall and O on an Obi it’s gave Dante dienzo the green light to let it fly and now Dante has the green light to be more of an offensive threat and he’s coming through so the only positives you can take away from any injury is that it’s giving other players

In the New York Knicks time to really shine right the games where Jaylen Brunson was hurt du McBride came in and had a career high every single game 19 points career high the next game 20 points career high the next game 21 points career high so every time jayen

Bronson’s been injured du McBride plugs in and starts given the opportunity to get a lot of minutes and takes advantage of it which is awesome honestly Mitch and OG defensive dominance in that starting lineup can you imagine let’s just sit back and imagine that bro OG and

Mitch that’s what the vision is that’s what the vision is folks a Mitchell Robinson and OG and OB defensive pairing is dirty it’s clamps it’s Jail who’s scoring with that with Dante getting in the passing Lanes forc to turnovers it’s over for real they forgot and don’t appreciate Mitchell Robinson I know I

See so much Mitchell Robinson disrespect I get it he’s injured I get it he’s injury prone that’s what you can hold against him for sure but let’s not forget how much of a dominant Force Mitchell Robinson is and the fact that he might be returning for the

Postseason folks right when we need him to be hopefully he’ll have some few games in the regular season to get fully you know back up to speed boy with the level hardenstein is playing can you imagine Nicks fans when Mitch is healthy we will have Mitchell Robinson

Or Isaiah hardenstein on the court for 48 minutes at a time one of them not both obviously that’s ridiculous the Knicks have two really good centers the health is the only thing that’s holding it back Brunson OG anobi and Dante is really the key to the success of this team and Julius Randle

So happens to be you know the second Allstar the the second best player that’s another thing that I’m I’m getting frustrated with is the Randall like no one appreciates Julius you don’t think Julius is important Julius is the second most important player on the team he’s a freaking Allstar do you remember how

Hard it was for the Knicks to get any allst stars and now we have two All Stars two let’s not forget it two and I know randle’s hurt right now so we’re forgetting about Julius a little bit and we’ve been winning without him and it’s been giving a guy like Precious auua a

Chance and he’s been running with it but let’s not forget that Julius Randall is a big part of this team without a help Julius Randall I don’t think the Knicks go far in the playoffs oh but I know he crumbles in the postseason this is a different team around Julius bro this is

A very different team around Julius cop Randall City Edition Jersey the other day let’s go I love that two Allstars that were made in house hell yes they weren’t drafted here but they were developed here I think Rand sitting and watching will prove dividends we shall see they

Don’t respect Randle hopefully he gets his roses he’s do the the way Rand gets his roses is very simple he’s got to pull off pull up in the playoffs and perform it’s that simple then I get it my concern is these guys don’t get back soon enough for us to get chemistry

Before the playoffs start I mean we’re expecting to get Randall and OG back in March and then Mitch in April so you know it’s a reasonable concern but the cool thing about this Knicks team is that they are so deep when are you going to do streamyard

For the Knicks what do you mean Outlaw this is streamyard what do you mean brother I’m streaming right now on streamyard about the Knicks what you mean bro Rand gonna be rested this injury could have been a blessing in disguise hopefully this can help for the playoffs

No yeah I think that what this does help Randall is it takes a little wear and tear off of his body because he’s been playing a lot of minutes and maybe this will get him even healthier tibs plays a nan rotation when everyone is fit who is going to get

Minutes do you think McBride and precious will be dropped this is a very good question because when we’re hypothetically fully healthy I’m assuming the starting five will be Brunson Dante OG Randall and then let’s just say Mitchell Robinson I know there’s some people saying hartenstein might start even when Mitch returns who

Knows and then the bench will definitely be Burks Josh Hart bogdanovich and then one of the centers so precious and Deuce are the odd men out and we know tibs is going to open up to a 10- men rotation that’s Be Wild can you can you imagine a reality where we’re that

Healthy where precious atua who’s been playing really good ball and dubc bride who’s been playing pretty good ball don’t even play because we have that many good players ahead of him that’s wild like bring people up to Oh you mean like a Callin Callin oh I got you out

Yeah I definitely want to do a call-in show last time I did a call-in I dropped the link and no one came through and talked so I would love to open this up for a Q&A one day for a little call-in show have you guys come on the show and

You know talk Nicks I would love to take call us Jason Tatum has averaged 18.9 points 6.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 17 games versus ogan anobi thoughts who matches up with brown now um that’s beautiful we got our Jason Tatum start uh stopper in OG on anobi you know who stops

Brown the system the switching the traps the hedging the communication Tibido that’s who you know I don’t think there’s one individual that can shut down Brown he’s that good um I think precious deserves to play when we’re healthy let him be backup four behind Randall the thing is Tibido just doesn’t

Play a 10-man rotation that’s the weird thing crazy how the Knicks are the class organization in New York Sports wild who would have thought who would have thought I’m smiling through it folks I can’t believe it I can’t believe this is my life the Knicks are the Talk of the

Town the Knicks are the best run organization in New York what they’re making smart decisions I’m still flabbergasted by that I think we do a pretty good job when it comes to Brown he usually doesn’t do good against us but Tatum was the problem now that we have our wing

Players I think we’re going to be a lot more better yeah I mean we don’t play the Celtics for I know that we play them soon we shall see whoever impacts the game at crunch time will play yeah and that that’s really what it is I’ve been very consistent with Tom

Tiido it’s not about who starts with him it’s about who finishes he plays the players who are playing their best ball in the fourth quarter based off of the rhythm of the game who’s in Rhythm who’s not you know even like for example Dante D venzo starts but there’s some times

Where he won’t finish where Burks will play in the fourth fourth quarter money Burks by the way AB shout out Alec Burks don’t forget was like our closer in that playoff run well not run we lost in the first round but you know what I mean the fourth seed that that that team

Alec Burks was our closer in the fourth quarter still Nicks fan what’s up what’s good Nicks family salute to the chat salute to Nicks media it’s been a minute since we chopped it up our Nicks are looking damn good still Nick fan shout out to you appreciate you tuning back

Into Nick media hope you’re doing well my friend Nicks family who’s better than that man the Knicks I absolutely love it shout out to still Nicks fans for tuning into the show greatly appreciate you greatly greatly appreciate you w this is going to be an interesting

Time man this is GNA be an interesting time how you feeling still Nick fans how you feeling about this team I know that you’re excited shout out to your uh content as well we appreciate what you bring to your show still Nick fans with Ron and John ESPN has been buzzing lately saying

The Knicks are heavy contenders for the chip this year I think we finally got our real Contender team it scares me when ESPN is talking about this now I don’t want to I’m GNA do it bear with me here National media hype I think is not

The best thing it feels good because all we’ve learned is just all we know is just bad negative takes about our team but I’m speaking from a Jets Fan Experience having the whole National World hyping you up just for you to fail doesn’t is it’s terrible and the Jets

Perspective of things remember last year whether you’re a Jets fan or a Giants fan or not a NFL fan or NFL fan of another team remember last year the New York Jets had a lot of hype heading into the season because of the addition of Aaron Rogers because of Hard Knocks

Because of the defense there’s a lot of hype around the Jets and the outside ESPN everybody was hyping up the Jets and as a Jets fan and a Jets content creator I was eating it up just for Rogers to teres Achilles my point is don’t get too caught up in ESPN

Nationally praising the Knicks let’s just be humble and let’s hope for the best because speaking from experience getting your hopes up really really high because oh my God this might be true everyone’s hyping us up for it to be crumbled it it doesn’t feel good so let’s try to stay

Even Keel and hope for the best folks hardenstein is death out until the allsa break now is this confirmed because I know that he’s questionable for tonight which is a promising sign of his uh injury by the way I don’t know if there’s an official update Richie I don’t trust tibs it’s

Only so far he can get us hash free Johnny Bryant Eddie my man I don’t get it why how come nobody can give Tom tho credit do he deserve no credit for the success of this Knicks team to have him 13 games above 500 00 what is what is what does Tom tiido

Have to do is it I don’t know like I know I’m someone that just thinks Tom diido deserves a lot like flowers am I the only one that like feels his way he’s done a tremendous job developing this team and establishing a culture and a standard with this team now of course

He has things that drives us nuts as fans but I don’t know we’ll see don’t listen to the outside noise especially from ESPN there you go I’m loving it bro I’m happy that the front office did things their way and we started uh we are starting to see the

Vision finally exactly we are not patient fans in New York but it looks like it’s looking good we’re exactly well said we’re not patient but hey here we are today in the uh we’re hopeful that will continue he is the third or fourth best coach in the association give him the

Respect he deserves yes Tibido shouldn’t have played Bronson late last game which game Pacers tibs is good I agree the problem with the Jets is they don’t they didn’t have plan B when it came to Aaron Rogers getting injured they put all their eggs in the

One basket I feel like this team has a deeper roster that any very very good point listen the Jets in the Knicks you don’t need to compare those two different worlds different worlds you’re right anyway got to go to bed I’m in the UK and it’s late keep up the great work

Richie let’s go next Dan shout out to Dan from UK baby go get some rest hopefully you wake up to a New York Knicks W my friend I appreciate you tuning in Dan all tibs has to do is winning the playoffs bro Randall and tibs just have to bring it in the

Playoffs and nicks fans will fall in love with both of them yeah I know that that’s really it it comes down to that it’s that it’s that simple it’s that simple where we just need to prove to win in the postseason and go on a run get to the eastn

Up I love his met content he is a fan after my own heart he wears it on a sleeve uh you mean wardy you talking about wardy yeah I mean wardy is a weekly guest on Nix media he is part of Nix media now officially you will see Tyler Wednesday

You guys know wardy nym he’s a a good very good friend of mine the number one Mets YouTuber and uh yeah he’s a has a weekly spot here on the channel I can understand Evan Foria being benched by the way you uh he was could have killed his career yeah I mean

Go for him he I felt bad for Evan and I think he handled it as well as he possibly could a guy that’s not getting any minutes getting paid the money he’s I mean let’s let’s be honest the Knicks were paying EV forier like he’s a starter and he wasn’t even playing crazy

Crazy listen if I’m the Knicks owner I’m extending worldwide West and Leon Rose today they turn the Knicks completely round to contenders and made allst stars out of two of the players on the roster absolutely absolutely say what you want about tibs but he will go down as a top three Nicks

Head coach of all time he will and it’s time that for Nicks fans to start appreciating him can we just put ourselves in the situation of having Jeff horich having Derek fer David fdale like appreciate Tom Tibido bro Tom Tibido is on a completely different Stratosphere than the than the those

Knicks coaches I just brought up kidding the Knicks are at minus three yes the Knicks are three-point favorites on the road tonight courtesy of bet us of course is Sims playing we can’t put doaj out there again l I was saying at the top of the show if

You’re just tuning in now you didn’t see my intro I literally was screaming TSH Gibson we love you nothing but love and respect to Taj but your time as a basketball player is up hang up the cleats the cleats hang up the basketball sneakers and start coaching Taj we would

Love to have you as a coach but you’re not but hey you got you got to show nothing but love for Taj bro he he’s out there on a 10-day contract playing for his guy Thon in a season that the Knicks are thriving pretty funny stuff I wish we could get

Woodson back that was pretty cool when we have Mike Woody when we have Woody back Sims is probable tonight which tells me he’s playing don’t think that they officially announced the um injury report yet if there is let me know if there is an official report about the uh injuries please let me

Know our Direction has changed since we drafted our kids yeah the vision seemed like it was always about drafting the kids developing the kids so they’re good enough to have high trade value to go get the right pieces to go all in to win which we are doing today ladies and

Gentlemen at Thursday Thomas and Phil Jackson collecting a check from do not do not fire Rose under any circumstances an tiido an tipido Rose will be here for many years to come once Dolan Buys in he’s all in yeah I mean you got to give Jim Dolan some

Credit he hired Leon Rose and step back and let Leon Cook shout out to Leon bro shout out to Leon bro it’s strange to hear the media platforms talking good about the Knicks they were trashing us not so long ago thank you Leon yeah bro that’s we’re not

Used to this we’re not thank the entire organization for changing the way we do business drafting young talents to either Blossom or to be used as assets and developing cap flexibility in the process the cap flexibility is an important p uh piece here and you know who deserves some credit he’s not with

The Knicks anymore but Scott Perry Scott Perry I think was the first player uh not player the first person to come to the Knicks and be part of the front office that had a long-term vision and kind of just got it right now he doesn’t deserve all the

Credit it’s all Leon Rose but I think when he was here with Steve Mills Steve Mills no don’t like Steve Mills but I liked Perry I think Perry was the first person to be hired in the Knicks front office to kind of have the right mindset of how

To build a team in the right way and then we and then we hired the dogs of Leon Rose and worldwi West the rest is history Perry is on ESPN now yes he is I always love him is hardenstein playing today so hardenstein is questionable which is progression because he was ruled out

Usually every uh game beforehand so him being questionable tells me that there is a likely chance of him playing for sure seems like Jericho Sims is going to be playing though and thank God had Jaylen Brunson is back and he put up 39 can we like not take Brunson for granted

And I’m not saying anybody is but can we all just like never take Jaylen Brunson for granted and remember where we came from because I caught myself taking it for granted like Saturday night against the Pacers for example we lost that game it was frustrating and I see Jaylen

Stats I’m like bro this guy just put up 39 points and it didn’t feel like it 39 I’m like dude we have a freaking Superstar point guard and I am never going to allow myself to be like he yeah 39 easy no that is not easy we went

Through the depths of hell with Frank Nina shout out to Frank nothing but love frank but bro can you can you guys remember what Nicks fans had to do to convince ourselves that Frank Nina was the future point guard of this Knicks team Alonzo Tri I mean bro I’m not gonna

Go down I’m not gonna go there I am not going to go there Richie are you ever gonna do a call-in show for the Knicks or jets yes I will be doing call-in shows um for sure no doubt about it I would love to get your guys thoughts on this

Channel Steve Mills is an idiot facts on Perry yeah Steve Mills was terrible I knew the Knicks were going to be doomed when they brought him in in 2014 Celtics come to the guard on the 24th unfortunately OG’s not going to be ready for this this game OG is the key

To beat the Celtics if we beat the Celtics without Adam as soon as I saw that Kevin Knox uh fortnite suit I knew oh poor Kevin KNX we also have to give credit to Steve Mills he wasn’t great but he did develop did he did help the Knicks acquire assets yeah he

Did I I may be admitting that I give Scott Perry more credit than Mills because like correct me if I’m wrong Steve Mills was the president and then he hired Perry to be the GM under him but Perry was making all the moves and that’s when all the fin that’s

Where all the assets started that’s when he started having a long-term Vision acquiring assets creating cap flexibility long term I’m pretty sure that was a Structure I could be wrong to be honest Jaylen Brunson needs help man 39 points against the Pacers and still lost hey man we do have help they just

Hurt that’s the thing and we ALS the defense was atrocious in that game against the Pacers because we didn’t have a c we literally didn’t have a center we didn’t have a rim protector we need to get healthy down low but don’t get it twisted I don’t

Want to I don’t want to hear this narrative that Brunson needs help he has help on the way they just need to get healthy and we had no Center if we go for another trade I would like to see marketing because I feel like our team is dominantly made up guards and bigs

And forward like Mark I be talking about in the summer because there’s no trades happening this year there’s no more trades happening this year so this is an offseason question and I’m not really I’m not really ready to talk about the offseason like I’m not really talking about I’m

Not ready to talk about oh which star are we going to trade for in the summer I want to focus on this year and make a Deep Run in the playoffs that’s what I’m focusing it on Richie the Knicks will move up to the third spot by tonight

With the Bucks playing Denver tonight and we are blowing out Houston because they suck garbage let’s go Eddie I love that so the Bucks have a big game against the Nuggets tonight the Cavaliers are unfortunately beating uh the Cavaliers are versing the 76ers who have not been good since their dwell

Em bead injury pretty sure so but and the Knicks have the rocket so the Nicks have a chance to get back to the third seed if the Bucks lose and the Knicks win hopefully the Cavs can lose that’ll be cool salute Richie in chat agent super

Baby let’s go agent shout out to you my friend shout out to you shout out to all Nicks fans tuning in yeah I think it was an interesting dynamic between those two don’t forget Mills wanted Donovan Mitchell but Perry didn’t because he didn’t think he was the guy I mean when was this

Because Mills wanted Donovan Oh you mean during the draft process I was thinking about the trade for a sec I was like I don’t think Mills was here during that trade scenario was Leon Rose but you’re talking about the draft probably yeah that’s interesting the Cavs losing seems to

Happen never I know I hate it after All-Star break Julius returns then OG then money-making Mitch go Nick I love that moneymaking Mitch I’m just glad that after the All-Star break that the Knicks will start getting some of their squad back from the injuries yeah let’s hope man

The only thing in the Knicks way this season is themselves which is the injuries I’m not so sure they’re beating Houston teams seem to get up when they play us uh the Knicks have not lost to a team below 500 yet this year pretty sure correct fact checked me

But I’m pretty sure the Knicks have yet to lose a game against a team sub 500 what when they play them could be wrong of them Leon fell in love with spider and that’s why he will eventually become a Nick yeah I think so too Cavs keep winning spider shifted gears and is

Balling yeah bro future Nick do you guys think that’s inevitable or what is it inevitable for donov to be a Nick or what we shall see guys don’t forget that this stream is being brought to you by bet us Sportsbook here the odds presented by bet us if you want to

Check them out don’t forget to click the link that’s pinned at the top of the chat to open up an account uh tonight the New York Knicks are three-point favorites on the road hopefully we can pull up that W Burks and bogy will be fully acclimated with the system after

This break yes sir Love It Go Jets and Nicks Nicks going Sizzler Boston get the F out of the way hell yeah Alex hell yeah love it I love that uh image of you at Jets training camp with the Cleco Jersey love that the Knicks have two

First round picks this summer which is going to be huge for us yeah that is true and it’s goingon to be interesting to see the Knick’s going to use those picks to trade or they going to get a kid because right now we don’t really have any rookies like all of a sudden

The Knicks have all these picks but we don’t have any rookies Jacob toppin our rookie he’ll be a Nick for sure me too that was Phil Jackson not Perry Phil took Frankie smokes yeah I think so the Knicks have plenty of assets to make a move for

Spider during the offseason yeah they do Giannis will get frustrated and end up with the Knicks all right Eddie I can’t you don’t have to twist my arm about that don’t forget how before the deadline trade we beat fully healthy nuggets and Sixers by 38 now if we add

Mitch Burks and baj and OG and Julius watch out folks we coming I’ll take the pick squirrel has to get a nut shooter or later lower in the first round yeah I mean we drafted quickley with the 25th pick we drafted Grimes with the 25th pick we drafted Deuce

Early in the second round we drafted Jericho late in the second round the Knicks have been able to find Talent anywhere in the draft so I trust the brains to bring in a young stud maybe not a young stud but like a diamond in the rough type of player Jaylen and

Donovan makes us very small and vulnerable yeah I mean that was definitely the talking point that entire time of the trade process right does Brunson and Donovan Mitchell do they pair up well with each other they’re both ball dominant they’re both not really defensive minded interesting I think they’d figure it out bro

I definitely think they’d figure it out guys don’t forget to Simply smash that like button on your way in guys we’re going to end the show here we got tip off in two hours so the Knicks are on the road tonight they’re in Houston the Knicks are three-point
