and Dodges this Friday from the stadium Bronx is going to be on fire and then like I said we got these New York Knicks on Deck man well give me your overall thoughts how you feeling going into tomorrow Nicks vs Celtics banon night and Boston how you feeling overall man I feel like this is the most I won’t say it’s the most excited because I feel like last year I was pretty excited I I like the prospects of where we could go it was still fresh it was still optimistic because we had a young team and there were the the possibility is endless this is the first time in a long time where I expect them to be here I expect the Knicks to be a title Contender I have heighten expectations that are matching my reality where to say we’re talking about bold predictions I don’t think the Knicks winning a championship should be a bold prediction and when was the last time we were able to say that CP that that wouldn’t be a bold prediction it might be on par because there’s a handful of candidates right now that can win the title and the Knicks are in that handful but in terms of excitement man I I just love what they’ve done throughout the offseason I like the mve that they made and I’m excited more than anything to see this work in the real world no longer Theory put it into practice and see what they can do man and I’m I’m really hyped to see this offense I want to see the beautiful game I don’t think I’ve ever seen the beautiful game as a Nicks fan in terms of their offense and the way it runs I think they have a chance to do it so yeah man I’m excited to see everything that they’re gonna do for for a long time it’s been about grit and grind you know get it to ski mask way Second Chance points rugged rebounds and now this team really does have a chance to have a a fluid free flowing offense uh that is that is accentuated by pure talent you know what I mean pure talent they’re the hustlers with a white collar job right now that’s what it is you still have the Hustler mentality but now you do it on a corporate level it you put it perfectly we still got the ski masks in the trunk we still got them in the back pocket if you need it and we may have to get that way a few times this year but that’s how I look at the Knicks right now true true indeed true indeed man I’m very much looking forward to tomorrow in Boston to see how they match up can they beat Boston at Boston’s game and and you know the way the Celtics were able to dominate the Le last year was with that five out was with porzingis at the five they’re going to be missing him for a little bit now the Knicks clap back with their own stretch Big Stretch five how do you feel about the cat acquisition and and how this team could look offensively man yeah I you know we talked about it offline online a few times I’ll say this I wasn’t hyped I wasn’t as hyped I understood logically why it made sense but I wasn’t hyped but then I had to ask myself why am I not really hyped and this goes into a conversation that I’ve had with Nick’s fans old and new and I realized it and and CP you kind of proved my point when when you were talking about it when you ask somebody average Nicks fan why don’t you like Carl Anthony towns for the Knicks the first five things that comes out of their mouth have nothing to do with what happens on the court yeah yeah it’s all personality based so when I actually started watching cat on the court I said yo y’all must have lied to me y’all told me he was whack y’all told me that it almost similar to Julius Randall yeah he’s an All-Star butt yeah but he’s he’s all NBA but I watched that man go toe-to-toe with yic the immortal nicolea yic he was one of the main reasons they won that game seven in Denver and yeah they didn’t win against the Mavericks but he upped his game he elevated his game and I liked what I saw he yeah when he came out and said I’m the best shooting big man I’m like all right C what whatever man but the numbers say he might not be Capp Pat might not be ca right so when I when I looked at the fit that he had with the team and I thought about once again now you got Mel now you got OG now you could play five out for the first time in a long time and I looked at what he did 2311 62% true shooting for his career a guy 58% true shooting one of six guys to have that along with Giannis and LeBron like I’m talking these type of names that we hear legendary names he’s up there with his shooting like you look at all the numbers you do all the all the research and all the advanced analyticals he’s up there so the one thing I hated and I know you hated it too giving up Dante and I hated giving up Dante because I love Dante for this team he’s a capital D dog he’s somebody who he has that New York Spirit he’s the first one in any scuffle He he’ll be sorry tomorrow yeah even if if you’re the one that’s wrong he’ll talk to about it in the locker room but when we’re on the court he’s he’s he’s 10 toes down for you and I thought if we were trading Dante cuz I figured eventually if we’re gonna get that guy Dante’s probably going to be the one that has to go because if I was on the other end of that deal I’m asking for Dante first right I didn’t think cat was that guy I was think I’ve had a Giannis agenda for years I thought it might be him I thought it might be a KD I thought it might be somebody on a level where the respect meets what we think is happening on the court and this is where I say with C he has a unique parallel with the Knicks where the narrative supersedes what you actually see on the court no matter how good the Knicks are until they win the championship people will still try to get off their five minute joke routines and all of that stuff and and they’ll be overly critical but when you look at what’s actually happening on the court it’s different than what the narrative is so this is a highrisk high reward situation for cat but if he brings a title home look at sui Su Saina UNESCO the legacies were saved last night legacies were saved last night Niara sabali is about to get multiple currencies sent to her account from different offshore Acquisitions I’m telling you right now jqu Jones you see her pushing a mayback in the five burrows you know why can be saved when you win a title and I think they can be elevated too so that’s where I think about the catch trade

yes sir yes sir all right man let’s get into these bold predictions three B predictions for the people what’s the first one you got man B prediction for the New York Knicks this season yeah my first bow prediction one of the rookies currently on the roster will make the all rookie team by the end of the year first team or second team wow you look at who’s the rookies right now who I got pegged as possibly first team I think Dalton connect I think he get that Matas bazis in Chicago SAR and re because they they got the names um I’m trying to think who else I had a fifth one oh I’m blanking right now um Dylan Ham on on the on the Timberwolves there there’s like a a lot of guys who are in that middle of the pack where yeah this this rookie class you can shoot up to all rookie second team if you have a a substantial near and this is a this is a team right now with the Knicks who are probably going to need one of those rookies to step up because their bench has been thin due to injury and Circumstance and it made not be Tyler KCK here’s the thing man I I am all on board with pacom shout out to my guy Caz they calling him three out here I called him es cargo KD you know what I mean who’s your D we got to come up with the names or whatever but this dude I’m sold man I’m buying the stock early he’s my Dynasty draft he I’m putting him in my D and I’m riding this way 69% effective field goal percentage in the preseason yep the 45 minutes but it’s what I see outside of him cooking and not just the 16 points that he put up in the first half and he looked like the second coming of KD going up against I believe the hits right yeah it’s he he has a precocious IQ he knows how to cut off the ball he knows how to relocate when the offense is Flowing those type of things are the type of instincts that you may not be able to teach because you look at some of the other players especially in the league and even on this team that have come up where you’re still looking for them to pick up on those little things to make the next move and the next step and to move instinctually without the ball like it has to be inherent within you and it can be built but that some people just got it and I feel like dier has it and what is the needs that they’re going to have CP they’re going to need people that can hit an outside shot they’re going to need three and three four and five are probably the critical backup areas right now because you know this era I don’t know what a shooting guard is I don’t know what a small forward is I feel like they’re all there’s like guard or Wing or whatever but if you have somebody that can flow two through four that they’re going to be of high value and I think daier can do that he wasn’t terrible defensively he had I think a 100 plus defensive rating this preseason right but if he can be serviceable and you put him next to one of OG or maau running with the second unit I think he can be a net positive for the team and be found money to where you weren’t expecting him to contribute so far this season but they’re going to need it and Huck py hiive I’ll throw y a bone too stand maybe he might be able to contribute but I’m looking at Pome daier right now as my main canier for somebody who could break out and possibly make that all rookie Squad I think that’s certainly possible especially given the injury concern I think it’s a concern for the bench right now uh given the injury concern to Landry shamet you is he going to be back Maybe not maybe maybe not uh precious atua is is going to be out two to four weeks that was announced yesterday by the team so of the three rookies daier could get slotted in there just through injury need but also like you said um Huck py I think Huck pory could make a case for the uh we still got Jeff did we lose Jeff salute to everybody in the salute to everybody in the chat hit that thumbs up button for you boys okay we got Jeff back up there I think yeah yeah I was like I was like damn is am I in The Matrix you in The Matrix for a little bit you in The Matrix for a little bit all all good um yeah I think Huck pory could could slide in there eventually man like I believe that Sims will get the um you know deference from tibs just based on experience if you if you want to you know factor that in but I think H Puck por is going to make a case to take those minutes and and get some backup Five Spot minutes there so let’s see what happens there I mean could he get you know 10 and 10 or or or 10 and eight a night on on what 25 minutes or so hey you never know that that could be all rookie second team or you know we we’ll see what happens there but one of those two guys I I think it is going to get or maybe even both could be getting some minutes there um off the Nick bench all right my bow take number one is gonna be I think the Knicks could have the most dominant starting five in the league I think in terms of net rating net rating differential I think they can and uh why it’s a bow take it is a b well not really a B I think it is a bow take I think it is a bow take not there are people who say it will be because they what about Boston what about OKC right now here’s where I’m going to put the Knicks up there number one um the pick and roll combination and potential of Jaylen Brunson and Carl Anthony towns I think that could end up being the best duo in the League this year the best onew punch in the League this year I think I think it could be that potent especially when cat is firing away from three I think they could be lethal and it’ll add another element to the Brilliance of Jaylen brunson’s Game and his offense overall then when you factor in his clutch ability it it makes him ridiculous especially in crunch time then on top of that on the wings you have anobi and bridges who based on their defensive acumine and IQ their intensity will be able to help this offense generate easy offense in transition and then at the same time be able to face the floor for Brunson and an Obi get into the corner three bag I believe Macau Bridges will get his shot he will find it eventually he will find his powers get it back and and I think one through five they are the healthiest right now starting five of the East contenders Boston porzingis could be out until Christmas or longer the news just came out today about Chris Middleton being out starting the season on the bench uh with the Muke Buck based on the the ankle rehab Paul George in his knee with the Philadelphia 76ers so I think the Knicks will not only have a head start but it will will allow them to gain their chemistry offensively where once they hit that cruising altitude and you know tibs is going to go balls to the wall 82 games I think the Knicks will end up being the most dominant five in the league Minnesota it will take time to integrate Randall into that lineup we’ll see what’s going on with the Nuggets they’re integrating Christian Brown is Jamal Murray the same guy off of his injury OKC definitely will be up there you know we got to respect those guys number one SE I heart hurt heart now hurt I that’s that’s what I’m saying so the Knicks now from a fiveman unit are the healthiest knock on wood I think they get there man most dominant starter five in the league bold prediction number one might be man yes sir I like that one I like that I I I I feel you why you said you don’t know if it’s bold it’s like you know how you have like heading and title like title B and heading is still bold but it’s not as bold as title like that’s like a heading one just because like they found a way to be in that mix the top 10 top five mix for the last few years and now you’re giving them more offense you’ve taken away a little bit offensive rebounding but you don’t need it if you hit the shots ex exactly exactly we’ll see exactly all right what’s the next one you got Carl Anthony towns will lead the team in rebounding this season okay all right not Josh Hart I’ve heard Josh Hart I’ve heard maybe it’s going to be Josh Hart and this might be a heading this might not be a title this might not be a heading but the way I’ve heard the narratives and the convers I won’t say narratives but the conversations going on around Josh Hart they make it seem like he’s going to be Dennis Rodman on the boards and that’s not exactly how they they’re made up uh Josh Hart and Cat are averaging the same the same I think exactly the same amount of rebounds they averaged uh last season right like 8.3 and I think the way cat has attacked in this preseason he’s averaging 11 rebounds averaging 11 rebounds in the preseason in the four games that he’s played eight of those coming on the off on the defensive end and I think that’s where he’s going to get a majority of his boards he may attack the offensive glass a little bit depending on where he is in the flow I expect him to be on the perimeter a lot so that may damage his offensive rebounding ability but I think it’s going to be cleaning up on the defensive boards cuz har averaged eight rebounds a game last year with Julius and with Mitch yeah averaging more than him so I think there’s going to be opportunities for Josh to grab the rebound and go in transition I also think some of the things that we saw in the preseason cat grabs the board give it right to Josh and then you run the fast break I can see it being that type of transfer I don’t think it’s going to be similar to what OKC used to run when Russ was the system where everybody ran the box out drill and let the ball fall and then Russ goes gets it and then runs with it that’s not what I see for heart I see it a little bit but not as much I do think cat is going to be someone who attacks the all the defensive glass and by doing that will’ll lead the team in rebounding and they need it too because I don’t know when MIT is gonna come back I don’t know I don’t even know who’s start who’s at the five at this point anymore they’re he’s gonna need to make up for Julius and ihearts rebounding they’re going to have to figure that out and I think between Josh and M and OG cleaning up a little bit I I I don’t know how you feel about a CP I kind of want Mel to be banging in that defensive glass more than OG at this point OG is like I I want him to take it be as easy don’t play scared because that’s how you get hurt but I don’t want him to be uh aboring more contact than he needs to he doesn’t need to be mixing it up exactly it’s it’s a fair point and a fair question and and also to take that cat rebound is going to be necessary for for them to maintain that identity I think is going to be critical man so uh that that’s a good one by you and and he did rebound the ball fairly well in the preseason so hopefully that continues consistently night in and night out uh because they’re definitely going to need it CP the fanchise Jeff Johnson on the ones and two salute to everybody in the in the chat once again hit the like button hit the share button and subscribe to the channel we are dishing out our bold takes of the Season plus our preseason Awards coming up shout out to the Prime animal Chuck d10 Super Chat says cat is of age this is his definitive career area we don’t have kids the kid era era is over salute to Jeff and the boss CP let’s go Nicks Nation repeat kid time is over grown man game right now Jee it’s time shout out to the Ryan animal shout out to uh Eric B franchise Channel member salute to Eric F out super chat from Chuck say the beauties that JB even wins when he doesn’t score the ball his in handle opens his team’s Flor Personnel like a can opener Bridges is fine yeah I think Bridges will will will definitely be fine and that takes me too my bold take number two last week when Han Solo a guy Han Solo was on the show he talked about his maau Bridges maybe the best player in the league to not make the All-Star team yet you know there’s a lot of a lot of uh debate is it maau Bridges is Jamal Murray you could definitely debate either way but my Bowl take is that Macau br will make his first All-Star team this year as a member of the New York Knicks man like I said in Bow take number one I do believe he will find his shot he will be an important relied upon scorer I think secondary even uh and and oftentimes tertiary when he’s in the starting role with with Brunson and cat but what we saw there especially in that final preseason game against the Wizards with bridg is running a lot of minutes with that second unit I think that that was a dress rehearsal for what we’re going to see in the in the regular season as Tom tiido staggers that starting lineup because with the bench now with the injury holes you’re going to need to try to keep a starter out there with those guys and generate some good offense somebody that can get their own shot out there help you maintain your Edge defensively and help get those those easy buckets Macau Bridges and I think he’s going to get that opportunity a lot with the Knicks bench he gets up to 20 a night with the defense that he plays I think he becomes an All-Star Reserve B T I like that now take number two Let let’s let’s go even a step further with the bll take yeah are you predicting that the Knicks only get two Allstars or do they get three brunson’s definitely making it Brunson so so if cat not making the allstar team you know what if if they they are number one number two in the East they can get three I think so they can get three I think so cuz I yeah yeah woo yeah I and I think they could be number one by by the uh by the All-Star break they can get three I like that like that I’m I’m definitely with that man yeah yeah no that’s a good one that’s a real good one because now the the whole narrative around Bridges now it’s like um he Bridges reminds me of the dudes at the park that you know they’re nice and then one day they just show up shooting different and just because they want to see what happens and it’s like Fair well don’t do that when we’re running cuz I want to I want to stay on the court for a little bit can you shoot the way we all know you shoot that’s why I picked you up can you please shoot the regular way so I mean you know if he’s working on the science if he’s a scientist they keep taker in bro but when you get the the information when you get all of the evidence in front of you and all the as a result of your tests no one to Pivot and know what to do something different kfv Tyler says if they get the one seed they’re getting three M says they need to be first to get three yeah I think they can get three man Mt let them speak in the chat says three yell are crazy okay hey hey that’s why it’s bold well that’s why it’s bold man we we we read all the takes man you know what I mean we read all the takes man uh we’re going to take a quick break from our sponsor so to our guys at Factor 75 man taping with Factor quick break and we’ll be back with our

had one that said that Mel would shoot over 60% true shooting okay because he hasn’t done it since 2122 I like yours better so I’m gonna go to a different way Duce McBride will lead the the New York Knicks in three-point percentage okay I think that’s the bowl as I can get because you want to talk about putting up shots this man averaged nine three-point attempts per game in the preseason he hasn’t averaged more than 3.7 in his career 16 field goal attempts same thing like six this the second unit is his game this is this is Duce McBride’s my player coming to life right now when he comes off the bench for this squad and I think he’s going to take the leap I have dues Peg that’s taking that leap to that upper echon there’s a reason why the front office believes in him there’s a reason why tibs believed in him there’s a reason why they were cool with letting quickly be traded or eventually walking when they could have signed him and figured something else out and possibly sent Deuce instead of RJ although the report said they really want it quickly I’m just saying they might have fought to like figure it out elsewhere and they know their own personnel and I’ve seen Duce I’ve seen him improve every single year from the guy who may not even really shoot and it’s just ding up to who has confidence and that’s the one thing that you can’t really quantify with a spreadsheet is the confidence that you watch a player play with every single day he’s looking for his shot he’s squaring up you could tell that he he’s tightened up his form a bit on on his shooting and he’s getting more accurate I can see him feasting on second units banging three-point shots and slightly being above probably in a per 36 type situ situation being above JB because I I I think JB is out of here this year in terms of his his play like I I think he he’s gonna be on a whole another galaxy but I do think to be bold I’ll say Deuce is taking on the shoulders of The Big Ragu yeah where he’s gonna he’s gonna accept The Big Ragu Force the great power and great responsibility yeah and he is going to take that and run with it and Thrive with it I’m with that he’s going to have a very important role off the bench we saw a lot of connectivity between campaign and Deuce with campaign running the offense and and uh them going to Deuce a lot on the perimeter above the break going to him uh on the threes and so his mid-range I thought was looking pretty good in the preseason I thought D shot the ball fairly well in the preseason man and so they’re going to need his hot shooting from last year to carry over man because he he was a he was vital for the Knicks last year man especially in that second half where they were trying to overcome injuries at times he was starting you know coming off the bench starting and and just giving them life he’s going to need to do that over the course of the 82 game stretch knock on wood his durability has also been key for them as well so him and campaign man we’re going to look for them to be those Terrors that dynamic duo Off the Bench and and to really help carry things so duk McBride leading the Knicks in three-point percentage man what do you guys think in the chat leave us some comments in the chat CP the franchise Jeff Johnson on the ones and twos shout out to Matt Wilshire Chef a 20 lb Super Chat says OG he’s he’s shouting out to his fellow Londoner he says OG is the real exactor on this team bold take my fellow Londoner wins the defensive player of the year award shout out to my next Family Man shout out to Matt Wilshire he’s been kfp family for a while what do you what do you think 20 pounds is like 2223 on that exchange kfv going up about to have five more fitteds based off of that super CH we International with it man and and Matt Super Chat is a perfect segue to my final Bowl take yes sir and that is I think wemi will get the defensive play of the year I think he will but I’m gonna go with OG Anin Obi being all NBA defense first team I like it for the second time in his career since the 2122 season um sorry 22 23 season for ogan and Obi I think gets there um last year we know about how historic his plus minus was for this Knicks team when he got here completely transformed this team he ranked in the 100th percentile in points per possession on defense team shots minus 16.4 points per possession with o on the floor minus 8.8% less efficient effective field goal percentage when o on was on the floor that was in the 100 percentile in both categories 100 percentile in steel percentage like 90th percen on block percentage OG adobi is going to be there but the reason I say he’s going to get all first team he will get it on off of his merits and his accomplishments alone but I think he’s going to make the injury requirement to get there that is the Bold take it is that OG anobi who hasn’t played uh whose career high in games played was his rookie year with 74 last year it was 50 with the Knicks and the Raptors year before for that 67 I think he meets the 65 game requirement I’m going I think Macau Bridges lends him his Iron Man Powers I think OG cracks cracks LD I like it I like it a lot especially the the DPO um first team well DPO y yeah I think wemi is just gonna he’s he’s that’s going to be the French award that’s gonna be the French Defender award for a while he’s gonna take those raids from Rudy um you know what you need with these Awards you need the skill and you need the exposure and you need the narrative right he has the skill he’s had the exposure being in New York City and being on this Nick team and being on a good team and he has the narrative with the plus minus so people are going to be watching to see peing even even if they don’t watch Nicks games like that which is going to be hard because they’re one of the national teams this year I think they have 22 or 24 National games this year definitely in the 20s right like one of the top five teams if you’re not counting NBA TV it’s in the 30s right exactly exactly so people are going to be watching this team and even if you’re not you’re going to peek and say oh is OG still defending like that all right so in in the voters Minds it’s his to lose first team for him to lose right even You Want to Go Boulder maybe him and Mel double it up and and they take the wing spots yeah you could Wing Stop takes the wings spots who knows you definitely could man all right so those are our bold predictions let us know what you guys think man leave us some comments in the chat and uh and we will react to it let’s see some bold predictions I see on the Facebook Chat salute to everybody on the Facebook side Anthony J Lopez colog salute salute bro Mike uh let’s see some bold predictions here I saw something in here hang on he says uh Sean Mayer says I don’t believe the the bridges making Allstar is a bold take we still do have cat and brunon he says okay he says bridg is being better off six man Anthony Lopez say B takes 60 wins all right so he’s going for it man he’s going for utter Nick domination that’s like plus 340 on the books right now yeah yeah it’s not it’s not too crazy yeah it could definitely happen and he says I agree with OG on the on the uh defensive team that that’s bro Mike all right so shout out to the Facebook Facebook is activated all right Jeff let’s get into these uh preseason Awards man who will be the Nick Rookie of the Year I’m I’m rolling with di bro I’ll go bold with it it’s Cox to lose but I I’ll roll with daier because I think opportunity is going to separate the two I think uh dier he wanted to be here he came from overseas said I’m not trying to be in Westchester I’m trying to be in Manhattan and I feel him on that because I ain’t eveny no no disrespect to Westchester but if I’m 19 years old and I’m trying to be the mix I trying to be at Westchester Yas with the locks and all of them I’m trying to be in the city you feel me so I I I think the opportunity and and he’s a needed position yeah I think they’re good at point guard kic is a great redundancy to have and he’s the future but I think daier is in a position of need so you know how it is you get the opportunity every time you check into the game it’s an audition and you show out you’re going to continue to build that trust so I’ll roll with darier okay okay um I’m gonna go with um you chalking it up you talk you going CH I’m going with Huck Mania man the hu Hive will not be denied I I think that um when you speak of position of need look first two four weeks no press is a truer for this Nick team that’s going to be big could be even and that says they’re going to reevaluate him you never know with those muscle injuries with with Hamshire or soft tissue injuries you know with Hampshire and things of that nature it was good that he walked off by himself to get that was a promise but yeah you just never know and I just I don’t know how long the simulation has before tibs gets a little Ane could it be the 20 games you know tibs likes to go the 20 game route but let’s say what you know what what if you have a night where uh Talent Sims gets into foul trouble oh Lord and Hy comes in and starts showing out I think you could see that throughout the course of the Season here and you just never know I think Huck pory gets the nod because I I think pay will ultimately have to prove to be so disastrous before kic gets in between Payne and Deuce I think the backup guard rotation is solidified but the center spot could be a little bit tricky that’s where Huck py can come in and get sub minutes I like that I’m going with the Huck py Hive man for the next Rookie of the Year man uh six man where you where you going Deuce I gave y’all the reasons why I think he’s going to lead in three-point and this is his show yeah this is the dece McBride show and I think he’s right now like 12 or 14 to one on the books to to win it I think that’s a sneaky pick if he’s on the books that’s a sneaky pick yeah Dante might be a great pick too if he’s if he’s coming off the six man so I think it’s going to be one of the most since the Jamal Crawford um Lou Will days I think it’s going to be an interesting race for six man of the year and I think deu is gonna do it okay yeah I’m with you on that I I like that especially and and as you said uh the increase shot attempts Off the Bench with him now playing his natural role offg guard and pay handling the point guard duties that’s as long as pay’s not the one jacking up all those threes you know he likes to get you you know he we’ seen him in Philly man you know he likes to get shot happy man he likes to get shot happy so as long as he’s you know maintaining the offense there and getting dece his shots uh I’m with you on that one I think you see the minute he got to New York that’s where Mel Bridget shot started acting [Music] funny hanging out with your friends influences when they say the Phoenix that’s what I say man Phenix all those nicknames at the go now that now that’s the X Factor to the NOA nick man that that’s the X Factor CL uh uh clan um yeah I’m with you there on to six-man we’re there uh most improved bold Carl Anthony towns okay I think I think he returns back to the pre Rudy Gober pre Anthony Edwards form I think it’s been since 2017 2018 when he’s averaged big money averages what uh when was it 201920 uh 26 26 and and 10 rebounds right like he doesn’t have to be the number one option but I think by virtue of playing with Brunson there’s a lot more points for him on the table and you’re playing with two two other passive scorers in OG and Josh and Mel who’s gonna probably get a lot of his tick with the uh with the bench where he’s going to be running the basically the the New York Nets on on in the second unit right I think towns has a lot to prove and I’m buying the stock that he’s going to try to solidify himself as not GNA be the one that’s the reason we don’t win yeah right like he’s gonna be the y’all lost one of the y’all lost MVPs and I think he’s going to do it in a way that looks effortless so I can see him going up a couple of points per game and it just being more effective so I think he’s going to have one of his most effective years uh in years and I by that virtue I think he’s going to improve on what we see before and this is kind of like subjective but improve on his reputation too that that’s a good one that’s a good one so we got Carl Anthony towns there I’m gonna go I’m gonna go bold as well man I’m gonna go bold as well I’m going with precious yes yeah oh that’s a good one oh that’s a good one oh that’s a good one I’m going with precious man once he gets back from the injury we saw a lot of good things the preseason he did log the most minutes he did lock the most minutes uh but in those minutes I I thought he was really good for the team man 9.4 points per game 7.2 rebounds I believe he is going to be one of the more vital role players on this team once he does come back just based on you know is OG going to need a little time off does Carl Anthony towns get banged up is it a back injury a lower foot something like that you know pre is going to have to slide in and he’s a guy that knows his role very well last year as a starter he average 12.5 points per game and 9.5 rebounds per game I mean pressers was really good for this team and and as a bench uh it was six and five I think he’s locked into his role right now with this team and with Tom Tibido knows exactly where he needs to be whether it is as a starter or reserve and I think he’s going to log a lot of minutes in that backup Five Spot when he gets there because he can be more even though he’s a more undersized than Sims he’s more reliable and plays as a smarter Defender than Sims so I think going to get a lot of opportunity there to show and prove as the de facto backup five and over the course of an 82 Game season I think he’s going to improve man I’m going with pre AA I love it I love it and he’s shooting threes he’s starting to shoot the three again and he’s shooting threes versus to I’m going with precious man most improved man I love it uh MVP I mean do you want me to try to go B do you want me to try to go bold with it or or what wait are you wait you want you you had DP defense play of the year before that I did not I oh actually yeah I did not go defensive player of the year go go I know where I I have a feeling where you’re going so I’ll just I’ll just spice it up Mel Bridges okay because he’s gonna be at the point of attack okay for most of the year so if he does his job having OG as your as your safety in the back will even enhance the the the perception of how you’re playing defense he knows that he can gamble more because OG got him yeah so I I feel like if we if we align and say they can both make First Team all defensive play of the year if he’s the one defending the point of the attack and he shuts down that might be even more impressive than the switchability of OG and it might be also a we take you for granted because we know you’re so good he might be the OG might have the middle child effect where we take you for granted because we know you’re so good already so someone else who we weren’t expecting to be on that level reaches close to it so we overrated a bit but I think he if I think he can earn that I I would go chalk with OG but for the sake of the to spice it up if it wasn’t OG I definitely would put betting wise I would put some money on Mel to be the Knicks defensive player of the year because it could happen I I’ll go OG uh you know I think Mel is a great answer I’ll go OG for for the same reasons that that IED before um just just as impact defensively that there’s not too many that can do it and also from that versatility standpoint a guy who may at some point this season have to guard Joel and beid again maybe it’s nicoa yic again I mean you KN on wouldn’t hope that he comes out of that healthy but someone who is capable and that tibs tibs trust to get that done so we could see it it’s a it’s very much a possibility so that’s a guy who one through five you could see him guarding some of the best of the best throughout this league and and like I said it’s going to be on his way to a um L all defense campaign so so from the MVP P standpoint let’s tackle it this way can he finish top five in the league top three top five in the league yes because he did it already and I don’t know who would emerge from last year to hop into the top five this year I think it’s joic Luca and Shay that is that is the the Holy Trinity of international MVPs top three candidates right that four and five I feel like Brunson has one of those to lose and then the fifth may be narrative plus skill like a Jason Tatum if he goes on a revenge tour for not being started or playing in the Olympics like that uh johnar is back and the and he’s locked and loaded and ready to let people know what he’s about so watch out for jar um if Zion they talking about he might play center he might be playing the five that might look kind of crazy I put nothing past LeBron at this point I feel like it’s Looper and I think he he came back from the past and he’s actually just a Perpetual 30 years old I don’t put nothing past LeBron who knows what happens with the wemy jump when the actual leap happens people are craving to put this dude in the MVP category narrative wi they are feing feing for Wy to be the MVP so I can see him hop up in there even if they only have 35 wins so that fifth spot is in flux but I think Brunson Shay Luca and joic are firmly in the top four preseason rankings I I think he can and it could be on the trength of his playmaking and making this team better man yep you know what I’m saying especially with that cat you know 68 pick and rolls in the preseason that’s something tibs they working yeah they spam spamming the chat on that so that just tells you like we’re going to be going to that often and just his ability to make this team better I think he will deserve that consideration hopefully it’s not a case where you know he almost gets penalized for having a little too much talent in that starting five but certainly I think his efficiency is going to remain the same and his playmaking can improve like you said he finished top five last year I don’t see why he can’t do that this year yes that you know the same names are going to be up there the yices and if if embiid is healthy he’ll be up there like you said if but he don’t want to play he don’t want to play 65 right he don’t want to play that 65 you’re right uh but like you said man if J is able to keep Memphis afloat in in what will be a dog fight in the west the entire year not just the float but you know competitive top four top five I think he could be up there as well man but yeah I don’t see why uh why Brunson wouldn’t be up there I’m looking forward to it man to finally have that big man that you can have some Synergy with it’s going to be a pleasure to see man definitely going to be talented big man since youing I believe it yep talent talent wise yeah we ain’t see a big a five shoot like that like that since Pat yeah for the Knicks for sure absolutely man so there we have it ladies and gentlemen oh we we got a call in here we got a call in here let’s get to call hang on hang on I was I was just about to to end the show prematurely at the buzzer we got Quinton on the Discord Quinton go ahead and uh tap in man what’s your bold take for the season man hey guys how you doing I just want to give you uh this my first time calling I’m from Maine so I don’t know if you’ve ever had anyone uh calling from m Nick fan end up in Maine bro yeah when I started watching basketball Melo was my favorite player there you go yeah so that’s that’s how I tapped in with the Knicks and I kind of just stuck around since then yeah um but I just want to bring up a point um you know you watch OG sometimes and uh he kind of looks like a mini Kawai I don’t know yeah like you know he in the playoffs last year he was making those midrange jumpers and you know creating for himself and if he can stop being so you know all over the place sometimes in offense cuz you know defense he’s great um but you know on offense you know if he creates more for himself I think uh think he can be maybe a third option for this team hey I I like you man I like what I saw um in Philadelphia especially I liked what I saw from him in the playoffs from a shot creation standpoint you saw that a little bit in the preseason and I think he he looks more and more confident in his ability to go out there and get it man and and so yeah man I’m with you if he’s able to to m that they’re in a good spot yeah I also want to bring up another point if you don’t mind about precious I know you’re talking about him being the most improved I think you said yeah um I totally agree with that you know uh it’s funny because you know he came in kind of just like as a throwin for the OG trade and he know he’s proved himself he doesn’t you know he isn’t do unnecessary things he just plays his role very well so I think uh I agree with you uh pretty much on that yeah man all right man just tap in man quit and checking in from Main appreciate the man make sure you tap in tomor Nicks versus Boston the watch part’s going down man everybody in NYC got to make sure that they are headed to slate that is where it’s going to be man slate NYC it’s going to be absolutely phenomenal man Bleacher Report producing the pregame and postgame show we got DJ Eric El Beach on the ones and twos oh we are also giving away two tickets to the home opener one lucky fan is going to get two tickets to the next home opener against the Pacers uh you got to be at the watch party to claim your prize but we will also have other quarterly giveaways like we do we got the rally towels more surprises as well man so uh make sure you guys are tapping in slate is going to be absolutely upside down looking forward to that and yeah man great show Jeff great show all the mods let me shout out GQ 1010 Super Chat says yo CP OG playing in 65 games sounds more like a wishful thinking than a bold take but I will definitely take it if it happens B take he says Brunson and Cat will average a double double this year oo that’s nice both double assists that would be insane then then the 60 wins bet that 60ns if that happens bet the 60 win and the MVP oh yeah that’s a domino effect that’s a domino effect yeah yeah that’s a domino effect man go to kftv watch to get your watch party tickets also doing a watch party on Friday Nicks versus Pacers at Clinton Hall 36 uh let me shout out some more Super chats Brian Ferro fight out Super Chat says I’d like to see Hart attack the basket downhill get the defense in foul trouble and collapse the defense fill some of that role of what Randall and Dante did yeah definitely that that’s what hard is going to have to do especially in transition man is try to get those easy buckets be that grit and grind uh offense that the Knicks are going to need sometimes when those three-point shots aren’t falling I think that’s where Josh Hart is going to fill a void and ultimately find his footage you know what I’m saying what do you think Jeff yeah I I I think you Josh so TI said that he’d be tuning Josh hard out I get it because you know everything isn’t a thing I think Josh is going to find his footing and he’s going to become him once again he’s going to do what he does he just has to find his spots and I think the transition is the best place for him to find shots uh find his spots right now and find out where he’s comfortable hit those transition that was one of the best things about him when they traded for him grabbing the rebound grabbing go we didn’t have a guy like that and he was able to put pressure on the defense put him on transition where they had to crash the boards and if they did it if they crash the boards and they didn’t get the rebound that was an automatic two points for the Knicks so I think he got to do that and just trusting himself to uh hit the open shot yes sir he just got to hit the open shot he does that and everything else will come to him I I mean you know he vents he vents out loud to all of us we are his group chat so just accept it not you know not support him and just say I you’ll be all right and he will he’ll be fine true indeed true indeed man nck Galaxy uh
