Injured Knicks lose to the New Orleans Pelicans

Injured Knicks lose to the New Orleans Pelicans

This is nbk nothing but Nicks when s pass the assist you know that it’s number one show that breaks down the game if you can’t play defense stay out my way dribble the ball come down the lane 5 seconds on the shot clock who going win us the game you want to hear

Nick updates and Trade roomers Post game reviews just the place you tune in so tell a friend just to keep the ball moving like the page if you feeling the movement every game we coming to win give us a sub like a player that came off the bench this is nbk nothing but

Nicks Nick’s Family what’s popping is your boy it’s your boy Sim that is with my brother Tony and ladies and gentlemen I don’t know what we expected tonight but I think we got what we probably expected with the Knicks being so under man Jaylen Brunson not playing Isaiah hartenstein not playing obviously Julius

Rand do oan noi Mitchell Robinson not playing all of these guys you know and uh we battled from the beginning but then we took the L end up losing by 23 points or whatever it is to the New Orleans Pelicans Tony what’s popping with you brother how you

Feeling um I mean you was spot on we we squeak past Detroit with Brunson with harste um I didn’t I didn’t know they was out until you know I I started watching second quarter right so I didn’t even know was out but yeah I wouldn’t have expected a win without

Them but you know they did fight right yeah they I mean they they battled in the beginning you know what I mean I mean it was what 48 47 at half time right just but just game yeah just not we had a chance to tie or we had a

Chance to take the lead right had a chance to take the lead going into well at the end of the end of the second half end of the first half bucking end of the first half we had to chance to take the lead ended up with precious throwing up

A three or something like that because we just couldn’t get any offense uh and that was the problem the entire game the Knicks just could not get good offensive possessions you know what I mean they couldn’t get good offensive possessions I mean you see the importance people always talk now okay

Here we go this is this is something that I always wanted to point out to Josh right cuz he talks about ball movement all the time ball movement ball movement ball movement and I agree you got to have ball movement but you also got to have guys that can hoop that can

Score that can put the ball in the bucket because this squad that’s on the floor right now they could have moved the ball as much as you want to you got to have guys that can put the ball in the hole and every once in a

While you got to have somebody who can create for you you know what I’m saying because you know we seen time and time again tonight where the ball did move but the Knicks just couldn’t find an open shot because the Pelicans were playing good defense you know what I

Mean so yeah you got to have ball movement but you got to have just as much ability to play one-on-one and we don’t have those guys we didn’t had those guys tonight Alec Burks ain’t getting it done Tony I know you was griping about Alec burs go ahead

Man I’m let let go ahead well let let me let me shout out couple people in the chat cuz they on it too Carrie uh krie Cox he said Burks lost his strap and uh yeah what happened to Jordan Burks Kenny P you know what I mean like

He hasn’t found his rhythm at all no not at all and and I don’t know what it is I don’t know what it is to be honest like the only thing that I could maybe attribute it to and and I don’t want to be that guy but this is the only thing I

Could attributed to as of right now is when Burks was really really thriving on this team he wasn’t handling the ball as much right and it was really just shoot finish you know I mean catch and shoot or driving finish and when he’s in that particular role I think he was

Thriving um I don’t think he’s he’s really handling the ball too much but that’s the only thing that I could attribute it to you know what I mean like we we need another guy to kind of get him his shot right I mean you know

He’s doing there’s a lot of with Burks a lot of his shots right now are coming from just one-on-one pullups you know a little bit of going to the basket when he can but he’s he’s the guy right now with this team especially without Jaylen Brunson he’s

The guy that we you’re saying we need if we need somebody to go one on one it’s got to be Burks and he can’t do it right now he’s not doing it he’s you know I like Alec Burks you know I thought he’d be a good I still think

Especially when Brunson and random and OG are back it’s going to end up being a good addition because he won’t have the same responsibility you know what I mean he won’t have the same responsibility but Burks ain’t getting it done right now when the Knicks need somebody to get it

Done you know what I mean and you know bonovich got a little bit done tonight as much as he could do he did get crossed up once and then I think that’s what sparked him getting hot you know I mean because I don’t think he was uh shooting the ball

Particularly well before he got crushed yeah and and see on a night like tonight and I think Greg is be happy maybe a couple other people’s going to be happy on a night like tonight is where Tom Tibido probably made a mistake bonovich should have gotten more than 29 minutes

Right he’s one of the best scorers on this particular team the the the lineup that you tried it out there tonight he’s one of the best scorers you know what I’m saying he played 29 minutes he probably should have played 40 because he can score the basketball right he can knock down and

Three is four for 10 from the three-point line tonight shot 43% from the f field um you know I mean that’s not great but he’s one of the guys that you would would have been relying on to score the ball and the Knicks needed scoring tonight you know they needed scoring he

Probably should have played like 40 minutes kri Cox said his his his defense is horrible you know what I’m G be honest with you there’s really only one if you watch tonight there was really only one play that he got dusted off on that was in the first half

Right there wasn’t any other plays that he got dusted off on you know uh Trey Murphy the third hit a three but it would but bogdanovich was right there in his face defending him you know so I don’t think his defense was bad tonight

And and what I really like is no it was the the the the the n one play you know what I mean like how upset he was with when he when he gave that five gave that up you know what I mean so yeah I think he the effort is there

And that’s all you could really ask for with a guy who’s not a um Elite Defender right yeah I mean you know the Knicks needed him on the floor more tonight to help score you know what I’m saying uh you know so uh Tom Tibido dropped the ball Sean and

Greg Tom Tibido dropped the ball both both you know bonovich should have played 10 more minutes I hope they’re happy that said that cuz both of them always oh that’s you know Sim you know Tom TI tis is tibs is Sim’s boy whatever you know Sim Sim is always going to defend Tom

Tibido well not on that one I think that BD donovic should have played many more minutes tonight than he did you know so it is what it is the Nick took the the Knicks took the L uh you know I think this is what we’re going to expect one up one

Down they play The Warriors next on Thursday you know what I mean one up one down I don’t know I don’t know so well I I need I need two up because I I want the Warriors game and I want the Cavs game too that’s what I’m saying I

Need yeah yeah you know I need two up the you know I mean they’re maintaining the fourth spot right now they’re maintaining the fourth spot I think I don’t know I I haven’t checked the scores or anything like that so I don’t know if Philly played

Tonight I think they played last night I don’t think they played tonight okay I I I I’ll check and see but you know last night the ncks were a game and a half above Philly after tonight depending on if the if if Philly played depending on whatever they might only

Be you know a half a game above or whatever Philly lost tonight so okay all right Ghost Rider said Philly lost tonight so you know that’s probably a good thing I’m going get to a phone call real quick before I get to the phone call though I want to shout out all my

People in the Rock from Rochester New York that’s checking in tonight I mean shout out to you all without a doubt let me get to a phone call Callie you’re live name me where you from please it’s JJ from Brooklyn San Anon what up fellas what’s popping JJ what’s

Up brother how you feeling man it’s popping peace man I’m chilling chilling chilling no doubt man listen I gotta say my concern right now man is it’s at a it’s at a 10 out of 10 just we’re not healthy my concern is I feel right now today we’re we’re not gonna avoid the

Playing I think we’re gonna be a playing team and I don’t think you want that I just think it’s inevitable I’m sorry bed up you think you think it’s not their fault you think we’re dropping down to the playing yeah I do I totally do yeah we’re only two games look at the

Standings we’re two games two games from the playing two I I I mean I mean I get that I get that I mean okay do you think we finish into the playing May I mean guys are GNA get healthy at some point right so you think will they we’re going

To have to play into the playoffs that’s what you that’s what you think right now we gota we have to play into the playoffs the Knicks are 11 games they’re 11 games above 500 Orlando is currently they’re they’re currently in the seven seed they’re 33 and 26 seven games above 500 two

Games so you don’t think the Knicks can maintain a five what do we got 24 games left yeah I think that sounds right so you don’t think we can maintain a 500 record no no no not as construced we got lucky to beat Detroit I mean we gotta be honest I

Me you know that should have been lost I mean but um we’re expecting OG back yeah but when if you told me they’re back within a week I’ll say all right yeah we’re cool but that we don’t know for sure when these guys are coming back if it’s

Three weeks to me that’s too long to me if it’s three weeks three plus weeks no I think I don’t think we can I don’t think we’re going to avoid the playing no I mean you know that that it’s a tough situation if the Knicks end up into the playing because you’re

Either playing Boston or Cleveland in the first round if you if you make it you know you got if you’re in the playing you got to make it to the playoffs and then you either play in Boston or Cleveland at least right now that’s the way it

Is I mean I wouldn’t sweat if Cleveland I wouldn’t sweat that I mean I obviously they’re playing great I know they won tonight on like a half court shot that’s crazy but um I mean listen you don’t want the Bucks in the first round you know want the Celtics and the way it’s

Going I think you’re looking at a Boston or or Milwaukee in the first round if we get out of the play I know maybe I’m just sound like a pessimist I know I’m panicking right now but I’m also looking at schedules as well Orlando my you have

The two easiest schedules in the league number one and number two they’re right on our Tails Indi is right behind us you know I mean are we going to be Golden State Cleveland you know not healthy I don’t I don’t see it man I know I’m

Panicking but I just feel right now that these guys don’t get back and soon I don’t mean like three weeks soon I mean like sooner than that week a week and a half yeah I think end up in playing well well I mean you know Brunson you would

Think is going to be back Isaiah hartenstein is probably going to be back they probably just you know gave him you know yeah right harste OG’s probably going to be back so yeah I mean then you’re looking at Randall you know what I mean but even when Randall went out the Knicks were

Playing they they continue to play at a high level right with OG and and the rest of the cast there they continue to play at a high level if OG comes back and you know I don’t think it’s serious with Brunson I think hartenstein will be back

If OG can come back within a week I think that changes things yeah right yeah I think that again I love the team don’t get me wrong like fully healthy I’m ready to go to war with anybody that I’m not saying like this team sucks or you know what you know no

Not at all I’m just saying with the injuries fully healthy I think we’re I think we’re a contender right but my thing also is you also want these guys back with enough time to just you know gain chemistry again we got a couple new players even OG didn’t play a ton of

Games here yet you know I don’t think they could just come back with two three four games left and be like all right let’s ready let’s let’s roll for the playoffs or the plane or whatever you know you want a good 10 11 12 games with each other before you know it really

Really counts you know what I’m saying I feel you I feel you so I just have a lot of concerns right now man a lot of concerns I’m I’m highly concerned I got to be honest right now again in fully healthy chemistry I’m ready but you know

I just got to see these guys get back number one and then I got to see them gain chemistry before it’s too late yeah I feel you on that I definitely want to see these guys be able to um gain some chemistry together right exactly right right you

Know like I can’t even break down these games like I can’t even call be like oh you know this guy play you know we can’t I can’t get on the team right now again I’m just concerned if we don’t get healthy and we fall to the plane but I

Can’t get on these players right now you got AA having to create for himself hard having to create for himself these guys are doing things that they shouldn’t they’re not supposed to be doing that’s not their that’s not their Niche let me ask you this okay we don’t have to worry

You know we’re not going to um critique the players like that right right we’re not going toque players like that but I do want to ask you this and I’m G to ask I’m asking Tony and the chat Dante D venzo took 18 three-point attempts tonight how do you feel about

That 18 he was seven for 18 38.9% but 18 three-point attempts the Knicks took 46 three-point attempts tonight you know they were straight up perimeter oriented team they feel like that’s their strength right now with so many players out 18 what do you think about

That I mean I mean I don’t love it I think that’s absurd 183s I mean I just think it’s kind of by necessity though you know that’s that’s what he does you know I know he feels added pressure you know I got to put up three after three

After three with everybody out so there may be a little bit there’s a little bit more on this table right now but you know I would still say Don’t just rely on threes you can get to the rack you know New Orleans it’s not like they have

A rim protector you know Zion and valun they don’t block shots yeah but they’re a good def they’re also a good defensive team how are you getting to the rack I mean you know Dante you know out there yeah I mean you know Dante can break the defense down every once in a

While but it’s not true all the time you know what I’m saying right right yeah I mean true yeah I mean the Knicks took 83 Shots tonight which is way lower than what they normally take they’re normally around 93 shots right so they took 83 shots 46 of them were threes more than

50% wow yeah I mean I mean is Tony is that the best strategy for the Knicks right now shooting threes I I think that’s the best strategy for diven chenzo I will say this when he when he does drive when he does attack I would like him to be a

More more aggressive finishing because I know he’s more than capable and I know he’s more than of capable of drawing fouls I think he and this may be a tips thing I think he he looks to Dish off the penetration before he looks to finish especially if if it’s it’s him

Penetrating on his own when he’s cutting and somebody gives him the ball he’s looking to finish but when he’s driving on his own he’s always looking to to pass out but for him we we have no interior play we have no post post play yeah Brunson is our best post player

With Randle out nobody nobody else on nobody else on the team is a I was I was thinking about it the other day like nobody else on the team you could dump the ball to in the post and they get a bucket for you yeah so right our

Strategy really is threes and dunks Second Chance points and yeah you know I mean like right it’s all that’s really where our best strategy is at this yeah point it’s crazy ah yeah you know but you know this Nicks you know with the way the Nicks have suffered all these

Injuries is you know you had this point where had so much potential so much potential you’re looking and then bam so much something just brings it down I feel like like a Cowboys fan or something like that like that’s what always happens with the Cowboys right cow

Bums they like to me this they have all this potential and you think they’re gonna do something and then all of a sudden something crazy happens they get injured this happens whatever they get and they get eliminated from the playoffs or something like that you know

As a Giants fan it makes me happy but this is just like the biggest wh if right now like to me that I’ve seen as a Knicks I’m fairly young I’m only in my mid-30s so like to me this is like the biggest wh if season right now like if

We don’t get fully healthy and gain chry it’s just like man like we what could we have really done like I think again fully healthy if these guys get back and regain that chemistry before the playoffs or playin start I think we can do serious damage I really do that’s

What’s just it just frustrates I’m very frustrated this with all the again I’m not blaming anybody it’s just you know it’s just unfortunate it just drives me crazy like how good this team could be and just can’t catch a break man you just can’t get healthy yeah we can’t get healthy

Man crazy yeah I feel you JJ I appreciate it man it’s crazy appreciate it man you guys have a good one man take it easy all right peace peace appreciate it Kevin said Cowboys fan he said that fans legitimately think they can win every year we not that crazy I

Agree I agree 100% you know any Cowboys fans that’s out there listening yeah we’re taking shots at the Cowboys for whatever reason you tonight ladies and gentlemen the Knicks were LED in scoring by Dante d nenzo 18 three-point attempts by Dante seven for 18 from the three-point line that’s a lot of

Three-point attempts I don’t care but 38% you know what I mean 39% it was no volume and it was 38% people would be like hey he you know mean he he yeah yeah no no doubt no doubt no doubt about that you know um yeah bogdanovic he took 10

Three-pointers four for 10 from the three-point line 20 points for bogdanovic four five assists four rebounds Josh Hart 15 points 10 rebounds precious 15 points seven rebounds for precious tonight and then you had Jericho Sims had seven points seven rebounds Alec Burks had two points one for seven from the

Field and then after that you know the only other people that played were Jacob Topp and Charlie Brown and dcoin Jeff they all played two minutes and 39 seconds at the end of the game you know the Knicks you know shot 37% from the field they shot 30% from the

Three-point line it just wasn’t falling 69% from the free throw line tough night for the Knicks tonight and I I tell you one thing that I did see that maybe it shows itself sometime in the playoffs or uh you know uh any other point but Josh Hart you know took

Some Liberties to try to score the ball today right and you seen him you know a couple of times you know just Dribble To That foul line area and knock down the pullup you know what I mean and and I I’ve probably seen it before but never really paid attention that

Much but you know tonight because the Knicks needed offense it was a little bit more obvious that he was doing some things that he normally doesn’t do all the all the players were and I was impressed with that the funny thinks him I think his

Mid-range is is more of a staple of his game than than the three right and and he when when he does it he looks you know I mean he’s always comfortable you know he he’s never like out of out he’s never a hesitant like he initiates when

He’s in the mid-range yeah that three he hesitates you know I mean a lot of the time I I think he’s been hesitating less though especially during his stretch especially been let it so maybe that’s something that you know the Knicks will be able to draw on right when playoff time comes or

Whatever he’ll be able to he won’t hesitate you know what I mean he’ll just he’ll just pull it you know he’s conscious he’s conscious of the detriment he’s conscious of teams daring him to shoot leaving him open him being the guy they double off you know what I

Mean so the only way to fix that is to you know hit shots be aggressive right make yourself a threat right right uh question to you Shawn Richardson you know this is Greg’s burner account I think I’m joking I’m not joking I don’t know it might be Greg’s

Burner count anyway he says Josh Hart played Back toback 40 plus minutes this coach is reckless we under Mane precious been leading the league in minutes um since he’s been in it right well at least since Randy been down he been leading the league right I

Mean who who are you putting out there you’re trying you’re still trying to win these basketball games so you’re comfortable with saying all right we’re going to give Josh 10 less minutes and put Jacob toppen in we’re going to give precious 10 less minutes and give it to

Sims and give it right like who are you putting out there even Jericho Sims played 29 minutes today you put oh okay you know what we’re not gon we’re going to take out pressures and put Charlie Brown Jr in you cool with that I’ll say this to your point earlier

S maybe maybe it should have been 10 more minutes for Bo bojan right so maybe that’s that’s who would have maybe he would have had to play the Ford for for him to get those minutes right or have to play the five you know I mean yeah that that’s true he you know

Maybe played the four a little bit to get those minutes uh so maybe precious gets a little bit less minutes so maybe I don’t know I don’t know exactly who he plays over but somebody I guess I mean because normally he was out there with Burks so it’s not like he’s taking Burks

Minutes you know so it would it would have been precious or Josh Hart maybe he take some minutes from Josh Hart you know yeah I don’t know I don’t know but you know all right he played 40 minutes back toback games listen Josh Hart said that he went to a

Plant-based diet and is helping his body to recover he’s good he’s good you know what I mean and I’m pretty sure I’m pretty sure that the coaching staff the medical staff like they’re checking with these guys to make sure that you know hey are you good can you

Go this amount of time you know what I mean I mean it it is kind of crazy we but like you said man we trying to win we try to win so tibs ain’t gonna play these guys that haven’t Pro proven anything to him yet you know what I mean

Like right you see how long it took for Deuce to get into the circle you see how long it takes for people to actually get into tip’s good graces he’s not throwing somebody in there for games that we need to win and and granted we didn’t win but

He’s trying to win each each one of these games yeah it is kind it is kind of crazy because Josh is one of the players who has been dealing with you know need injury throughout the year as well so I get the frustration I get what

Why people are upset yeah but I also get why TS does what he does right Sean said of course the players are going to say they want to play as the coach he’s got to save them from themselves um you know I think yeah the players are going to say they want to

Play but I think the players also know their body I think that I think I think the NBA is going to is a little bit different today right guys are more business conscious business savvy so they’re like if they feel like their body’s going to break they’re like nah

Let me let me chill you know what I’m saying I think the players know their bodies and if they can if they’re if they’re if they’re going to get injured or if they feel like they’re going to get injured or if they feel like they

Need you know a little bit of a break I think they I think they get that you know I mean now but I will say this Sean Greg whichever one you are I know I’m about to get Sean mad because he’s probably man why you keep calling Greg but

Anyway I dig what you’re saying though right especially with the style of play that Josh Hart plays like he’s aggressive he’s always all over the floor he’s got he gets banged up just from his style of play he’s going to have Nicks and bruises just from his

Style of play you know what I’m saying um you know so I I do understand that you know what I mean and and I agree 100% with that because of his style of play he’s going to get he’s always going to have something you seen him gu busted

In the face tonight by Zion and his nose bleeding he’s always going to you know he plays a aggressive style of basketball you know just with his hustle so I do understand that I do understand that and so and so maybe all right Sean I got you he said 100% stop calling me

Greg I don’t know what I I don’t know that man he’s a real one though yeah see see you see what I’m saying you see he do that in the end right he’s a he’s a real one though you see right all right Sean I got

You I got you but maybe bonovich could have played some of Josh Hart’s minutes you know so that we could have more that some more of that scoring punch out there on the floor you mean um I don’t know man we just need these guys to get

Back back the Pelicans all night long though were hot from the three-point line all night long you know I mean they shot I don’t I I don’t even see the percentage up here let me get I I tell you real quick the Pelicans shot 52.9% from the three-point

Line all night long they were knocking down threes every time the Knicks made a run the Pelicans would knock down a three you know to cut to you know cut off the Knicks run or cut it short or whatever it was right and the Knicks would get open threes they couldn’t hit

Him they couldn’t hit him the Pelicans only took 34 threes they were 18 for 34 from the three-point line you know but the Knicks ladies and gentlemen you know they they they they couldn’t it almost felt like they couldn’t buy a three well I mean they could it was 30% though

52.9% from the three-point line for the Pelicans tonight and they were LED in scoring by Trey Murphy right he had I think 16 points in the fourth quarter or 14th something like that you know what I’m saying Kevin said yeah I think I did

Crack the code Kevin I I think I did you know Sean is you know he’s gonna say what what I think I did anyway that were letting scor by Trey Murphy the third he had 26 points seven rebounds four assists Brandon Ingram 24 points six rebounds

Five assist uh looked like in the first half he twisted his ankle you know came back went to the basket and got a and one dunk so I guess that twisted ankle didn’t mean nothing Zion 21 points I thought the Knicks did a good job on

Zion to be honest with you they made it tough for him you know they you know they they they they were aggressive on Zion 21 points for Zion uh seven points for uh Jon valent Tunis 7 points9 rebounds for him 15 points for Herbert Jones he was knocking

Down threes felt like all night long too him and Trey Murphy with knocking down threes and Brandon you know Brandon Ingram is Brandon Ingram then Matt Ryan from what they say was from Westchester knocking down threes too he was two for two he was about to say something Tony

Go um I think they they picked they had to choose between Zion and Ingram and they chose Zion to to kind of you know I mean put the emphasis on yeah and I mean it’s a tough choice and you could pick it could be the wrong one either

Way you either way you go you know what I mean we’ve seen Zion go off and dominate Us in in the past so right pick your poison yeah ah well the Knicks take the loss tonight 115 to 92 to the New Orleans Pelicans ladies and gentlemen um the Knicks

Didn’t shoot the ball well they didn’t rebound well tonight 38 rebounds for the Knicks on the night when you’re not shooting the b ball well only 38 rebounds they were outrebounded by the Pelicans 44- 38 the Knicks did have 27 assists that’s backto back games with high assists right yeah that’s back

Toback games with high assists I mean they had 27 27 assists on bad shooting the nck shot 37% from the field and they had 27 assists how many offensive rebounds we have cuz that’s usually um let’s see off off offensive rebounds for the Knicks tonight 13 and how many possessions do we have

Do you know how many possessions I don’t know like how many how many um shot attemps shot attempts 83 shot attempts yeah I mean I mean 13 offensive rebounds ain’t bad how many Second Chance points did we actually score we scored 13 Second Chance points the

Pelicans for it really came down to that three-point shooting right the Knicks not able to knock down three-point three-point shots when they had those opportunities too really came down to that even the points in the paint I mean the Pelicans with 34 points in the paint the Knicks

26 14 Second Chance points for the Pelicans 13 for the Knicks 11 fast break points for the Knicks 16 for the Pelicans uh free throw shooting was bad the Knicks shot 69% but you know shooting from the field and shooting from the three-point line you know were terrible for the Knicks

Tonight you know what I mean uh so so there we have it ladies and gentlemen the Knicks take a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans they play Golden State on Thursday right Golden State on Thursday how you feeling about shout out to my barber he’s going to the game oh

Word okay yeah no doubt shout out to him how you feeling about um that game versus state well hopefully brunson’s back that’s one um hopefully D venzo can summons his inner Splash brother and and and I don’t know if he got to shoot that many but I

Want him to hit a bunch of Threes because we gonna need them because you know they gonna be hitting threes or at least shooting them uh I mean they they rolling right now you know what I mean they’re going to be tough this this is not Golden State of

Early in the year they they making their their playoff push or play in push whichever what you want to call it but they playing a lot better than than they’ve been playing early in the year so it’s you know I mean it’s a tough matchup tough match up everybody’s back

CP is back I think he played his first game um either today or yesterday um so yeah they did lose whatever their last game was today or yesterday but they played tonight they played the Wizards now they won tonight oh okay yeah 123 to 112 okay over the Wizards Yeah well yeah

It’s I mean they got to travel it’s in the garden right yeah it’s in the garden yeah we we we um hopefully Steph don’t have a Steph m in the gard and and if we contain him I think we’ be all I mean the thing is defensively I’m not

Worried offensively is going to be the issue offense is going to be the issue well that’s why we need D chenzo to be Inferno again yeah I mean listen as long as Jaylen Brunson is out I mean this man shot 18 threes tonight I I this man might be up shooting 20 he

Might be over 23 and I and I think the coach of staff is probably saying right now you’re one of our you know even bonovich at the speed at which he’s shooting some of the threes like they’re telling these guys to force up threes because it’s our best chance to

Score because we have no inside presence right now none but we got we got offensive Rebound in ability you know what I mean we got we got inside presence in that aspect we don’t have any scoring though so yeah Jack up the threes we going to go get them we going

To go collect them if you miss yeah and hopefully get another one yeah when when when hartenstein comes back do you try to use him as a inside presence like posting up see if he can you know get him the ball inside let him post up see

If he can score which I think he I mean I I like the way they utilize him I I haven’t seen him deep in the post but I like the I like his ability um you know foul line maybe a little bit closer in from the foul line and then able to get

To the basket you you know I mean he he he’s have array of spin moves and and things that he he does get off to get to the rim um but I I I don’t know I don’t know if if the other part like deep in the

Post I don’t even know if it’s in his bag right you know what I mean I’ve always known like because that wasn’t his emo on the Clippers either it was really what we’ve seen from him the hustle plays you I mean the the second chance points the putbacks and things of that

Nature and and then um if you dish it to him deep in the post yeah he could finish yeah but but but feed it to him I don’t know I don’t know what he has there I’m I’m not even too uh positive about his floater you know

Mean I get a little nervous when he he where he does his floater I mean it’s probably it goes in half the time but it it definitely uh yeah I don’t like big man doing floa you know I’d give it a try and see what he can do because I

Feel like he has the skill set I think he you know I think he has a drop step you know I think he can you know boom boom drop maybe do a little a little short hook you know I mean I mean is it’s not going to be crazy but because

He’s a good passer you know what I’m saying if he does score a little bit and then they say all right he he you know he got three bucks in a row that’s send a double team now at least you got somebody pulling in the defense you can

Pass it out and swing it you know what I mean we don’t have too many other options to to to try it and we don’t have too much time to try it that’s that’s the problem you know what I mean like three you know two three

Possessions you try it and it and it don’t work we might be in the hole I mean no I feel you and and if you do it for a couple if you do it two possessions and then you come up empty you probably be like all right this

Ain’t working you know on to the next idea you know what I’m saying um it’s just crazy how I mean basically Brunson out hartenstein Randall OG Mitch like that’s your whole starting five besides stepen chenzo it’s your whole starting five man you know right now you know the

Warriors like you said they’re in playing mode they’re 31 and 28 and they are currently I think it was ninth in the Western Conference the western conference is yeah they’re ninth no I’m sorry they’re 30 and 27 the Lakers are 31- 28 okay they above the Lakers now they’re above

The Lakers the Lakers are 10th you know when you look when you look at the East and you look at I mean when you look at the east 9 and 10 the Bulls are 27- 31 Atlanta is 26- 32 man you know you know pretty strong out there in the

West right now a little bit deeper than the Eastern Conference but you know right now the Celtics probably the best team in the League little bit deep little bit deeper than the Eastern Conference yeah Nick’s got to beat the Warriors I don’t know if we’re under

Demand like tonight I just I just I I can’t see it I’m I’m be honest with you you know we might put up a good fight for a little while but we’re just not going to have enough offensive Firepower to deal with those guys what even with jayen Brunson and

Hartenstein there don’t had that much offensive Firepower besides Brunson now you know with Brunson there it changes things a little bit because you know he he can at least draw the defense because he can penetrate he can get his side you know and he can post up a little bit

Even though he’s you know small but if he if they put somebody Angel Wiggins or somebody on them I don’t even know who’s playing but you know that that that might negate him from posting up you know what though I won’t count us out I won’t count us out

Because one thing especially if if iHeart is back but even no especially if iHeart is back because they don’t have size yeah at that at that Center position and that may be a um a area that we could um take advantage of and then again running our game plan

And and if we could continue to dominate offensive rebounds and and and get Second Chance points and get more actual possessions than them maybe that could offset a a disparity in in uh threes you you know what I mean yeah yeah my man Ron from still Nicks fans he said uh there’s no

Probably about it when talk about the Celtics he said they’re the best the Celtics are kicking teams tails and ain’t no doubt about it they are they are you know they definitely are Shawn Richardson said Tio’s offensive Playbook book is just give the ball to Brunson and everyone else move

The hell out the way I think it’s a little bit more than that but right now what else are you doing what else are you doing let’s be honest look at the Knicks tonight without Brunson so there was no give the ball to Brunson and move out the way they had 27

Assists on 38% shooting 37% shooting 27 assists on 37 % shooting that points to ball movement and what good did it get you nothing it got you blown out by 23 ball movement is great you still got to have guys that can get you a bucket

So as much as people complain oh you know Randall and Brunson and this guy and that guy shooting too much you need those guys to shoot you need those guys to create because when they create it opens it up for other people you had nobody that can draw the defense tonight

Right they were able to just straight up play one-on-one and stop guys from getting to the basket which meant it was tougher to get open three-point shots they got some open three-point shots but it was tougher to get open three-point shots you weren’t getting anything in the

Paint you got to have those guys that are strong one-on-one players so sometimes yeah it might be get a ball to Brunson and let him go to work because when Brunson goes to work he draws the defense and then you can kick it out D Couer said no perimeter defense got us

Blown out I disagree no offense got us blown out we scored 92 points if we had some offense I mean we can score 115 points obviously if we had some offense the game is a little bit closer maybe we win it maybe we lose it but you scored 92 points today you’re

Getting you’re getting beat you might get blown out and today the Knicks had no offense 27 assists that means there was some ball movement 37% shooting 30% shooting from the three-point line 69% shooting from the free throw line you Know that’s got to have you got you got to have you got to have guys that can ball that can hoop that can go get you bucket when you need to go get a bucket you know what I’m saying you got to have guys that can do

That got to have guys King third I Supreme peace to you my brother he said should have paid quickly and kept Grimes okay we’re going to the last you know all right Grimes did his thing the other night against the Knicks 14 points in the fourth quarter right you know right now you

Know because we’re so injury prone you not injury prone we’re so decimated by injuries it’s easy to say this now right but people are going to bring it up you know I’ve seen it all over well if we didn’t make all these trades the Knicks would have depth right the

Knicks would have IQ they would have RJ they would have Quinton Grimes does it make us better when everybody comes back I would I would venture to say we get fully healthy the Knicks are better than when they would have had RJ and quickle and Grimes they’re fully

Better now when they’re fully healthy I think they’re a better team how do you feel about that Tony I think you spot on I think you I think if we had them right now we probably would be in a better spot but as a healthy team

I think the trades help us more than than them right so I I I agree 100 per. yeah I mean and it’s it’s always easy to say that when you know what I mean right we don’t have our full roster right it’s easy to say that right now because we’re

Losing and you can look at it and say well these guys would have been here playing and we could still be winning what I will say is like like if if anybody is going to say oh we haven’t seen the best performances out of the trade pieces and and you can’t really OG

In that you know what I mean because when he was here we we seen everything looking like like it fit like a glove you know what I mean but um we haven’t seen the best out of boan and Burks specifically Burks specifically you know what I mean um maybe the usage with like

You referred to earlier maybe tips using bjan a little bit more because he has been productive but um yeah we haven’t seen what we expect from Burks yeah but in due time that’s what I’m saying yeah I mean it’s easy to have recency bias right now right because the Knicks are losing if

If everybody was here and the Knicks were winning and and and playing this great basketball I think people you know most people would be like okay you know we did a good job but it’s easy to look at it right now and say shouldn’t have traded those guys but

I like the team that we have I think we’re much deeper I think we have more flexibility to the lineup I think we have more shooting in the lineup we’re still set up to make a move later on you know what I mean we’re a little bit

Older you know we’re definitely a little bit older now now but I I still think you know I believe in the moves I believe in the moves and hopefully they’re going to uh it’s going to it’s going to you know we’re going to see some fruit from

It soon if these guys can get back healthy you know so I’m not I’m you know it doesn’t bother me at all uh John Smith said if Miami wins today they are tied for the fifth seed right now they’re losing to the Portland Trailblazers 60 to 57 with 8 minutes and

47 seconds left in the third quarter Miami’s 32 and 25 right now and this what Miami does they you know they they they try to make a run towards the end of the season how they know it’s not how it normally happens with Miami how would you feel if

If we stay in the fourth seed and we’re playing Miami at the fifth seat I’d feel good to be honest with you I feel like the Knicks you know they learned a lot last year from playing Miami uh they look at them as their big brothers and I think they look at them

As yeah we got to get through these guys like like these are one not that they got to get through these guys to win the championship but look at it as kind of like that stepping stone type of thing like you know how you have like

The bulls with the Pistons bo back in the day the Knicks with the bulls right when they kept getting knocked out by the Bulls and then finally Jordan retired and the Knicks were able to knock them out and go to the finals I kind of look at it you know

Like that the Knicks probably see they wouldn’t mind seeing Miami in the playoffs because they’d be ready to knock him out you know what I mean I wouldn’t mind seeing Miami in the playoffs now will we suffer injuries to be able to be successful in the next round

Probably so if we seen Miami in the first round do we even get out of that series healthy they dirty you know what I’m saying will will we get out of it healthy I don’t know my man Ron said there’s no worse feeling than to have to constantly defend your team to others

Because you know they are good but just can’t get healthy ex yeah I I I feel you because people are going to say oh whatever you making excuses this that and the third I hear from my basketball team you know what I mean oh who cares they

Supposed to win anyway next man up all right okay you know mean that’s all I can say okay but I don’t know Elvis sh said might not get out the first round to be honest look how look how look how far down we drop if this team is healthy well okay I

Dig it if if we’re if we’re in the fourth seed I still think we have a really really good chance getting out the first round he might be playing Philadelphia he might be playing Miami got a chance to get out the first round if we’re in the eighth

Seed which JJ thinks we can drop into the playing I don’t say it’s dropping there I think we’ll you know we’ll get some guys back and we’ll be able to maintain um I would do not want to play Boston in the first round no doubt about that I I ain’t

Trying to play them in the first round if I if I’m playing Boston I want to play them in the Eastern Conference Finals when they’ve already been through some battles yeah you know what I’m saying you know and and even then it’s still going to be really really really hard to beat them

But I ain’t trying to play them I’m not trying to play the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs you know that’s probably a recipe to to get eliminated especially when you haven’t had time for your team to um you know come together you know what I

Mean get to a phone call Nick from Jersey what’s popping with you bro how you feeling hey how’s it going guys pretty good man pretty good tough loss tonight but I was proud of the way they hung in there you know playing Seven guys and and uh

I thought we had a chance at the end but you know I mean this is the way it’s going to go we went from the best months in 30 years to Total you know dilapidation just total cha total chaos but I mean if they if they got to go 15

And eight for 50 wins and if they could do that having with all these injuries having played Boston five times having played Milwaukee five times this season I believe too that would be quite the accomplishment it will it will it will what are the chances you think we go 15 and

Eight and win 50 and win 50 games I don’t know man it really depends on when they get healthy I you know um I think OG’s coming back soon I think he’s going to change a lot for us and I think OG you know coming back before

Randall will open things up with the guys that we have on the team right now I think that will you know lineups out there with bogie and and OG out there as the forwards is going to be is gonna be pretty good yeah um is it that important to win 50 games

Though no I’m just saying that that’s that’s a that’s a benchmark I think the standings is is more important I’m looking at the standings now you know four five six seven eight you know anybody could be in in those in the in the five spot right now let’s say we

Hold on to four you know that that fifth spot like you were just saying that could be miam I I think I’d prefer to play Philly without embiid over all the other teams you know even the magic um who gave us some trouble this year uh but maybe not you know I mean

You got the magic the Pacers they kind of scare me too a little bit but you know they’re gonna they could they could they could uh push us I think yeah so you know whatever like if it’s the heat I’m I kind of agree with

You bring on the heat man bring on the heat and bring on Boston in that second round and let’s just make it hard on ourselves and and do it that way Miami in the first round Boston in the second round man that’s hell yeah that’s tough they get up front that’s

Tough that’s tough I I just want to say something somebody brought up Grimes and a lot of people talking about this trade buyers remor Burks has been playing terribly but it it’s bigger than it’s bigger than just the trade like the Grimes was not gonna be the starting two

Guard here ever Dean chenzo is better than him and the strategy that the Knicks are doing long term is to bring in a starting two guard and put divon chenzo back on the bench so Grimes was always gonna be in in a in a trade at

Some point for this next guy in the off season or whatever and and bogie in his contract has more trade value than Grimes his expiring contract so it’s like we made this trade we got better now because because Bogie’s better than Grimes you know by himself and then we

We have a better we have more flexibility to make that big trade in the future anyway I think I think Bogie’s got higher trade value than Quinton Grimes yeah I mean probably probably I mean he’s he’s he’s been a guy who’s averaged anywhere from 17 to 20 points

Per game over you know however many years so yeah yeah just I love Grimes I love Grimes and I love quickly too they just they just were not going to be the long-term starting two guard for this team so it’s like they they parlayed their picks excuse me their homegrown

Draft picks into basically this team now that we haven’t seen yet so people gota not lose their cool over what’s going on right now it’s like every they’re playing hard every single night and you know adversity builds character when we get these guys when we get Mitch back OG

Back Randall back and jel if we could get that together before the playoffs we’ll have some momentum for the playoffs and uh you know we’ll just we’ll just take it from there but I I I think that we’re seeing here you know from what tibs started Deuce tonight

Over Burks and he also played Deuce more than Burks and he started precious over over B uh bogie and I think that what you’re seeing ultimately is you’re you know fully healthy our bench is going to be I was really motivated to see what this bench before the before the Grim

Straight I was thinking man our bench is going to be elite defensively when we get Mitch back it still will be because I think you’re going to see you’re gonna see Mitch precious uh heart at the two Deuce at the point and then you’re going to have

Rotating in as that as the quote unquote tense man either OG at small forward or or Brunson you know in the playoffs you’re going to see a lot of Brunson playing with the bench and you’re going to see OG playing with the bench and if

They got to extend it to 10 man then you put you put bogy in there as the small forward you know if you got if like that’s that’s a good bench man so that that’s that’s everything that’s defense that’s shooting that’s so you know I think our our bench is still Elite

Because of because of the uh the development of precious yeah I mean I mean you know the bench is actually getting better because so you know guys are playing so many minutes and figuring out what they can you know Tom Tibido figuring them out figuring each other

Out with the new additions to the team so the bench is getting better you know as we speak it’s just we need our record to get better you know what I mean yeah you know we need our record to get better yeah uh we got 20 20 what what is it 25

Games 24 games left 24 think 23 I think we’d have a little bit more better luck if we uh wore our home jerseys on the home at home games maybe or maybe we some white sometime at home I think that might work yeah yeah nowadays yeah it’s back in the days it

Was the light color is home dark color is away today is anything I guess I guess today the home team decides which color they going to wear yeah well JJ man hopefully we can get healthy that’s it’s nothing much more we can say really just hopefully we can get

Healthy yes sir have a good night FKS have a good night man peace yeah I mean that’s really the key man getting healthy that’s the key down the stretch of this season getting healthy you know and getting guys acclimated you know JJ said get healthy or enjoy the
