رونوشت کامل 🔥 KNICKS VS BUCKS POSTGAME SHOW| JALEN BRUNSON & THE KNICKS TAKE ON THE BUCKS|GAME RECAP & ANALYSIS

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.400 He understands, once again, the law of attrition, right? 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.199 You know, we got to keep these guys healthy because we know what the push is for, right? 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.240 April and May. 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.520 So when you have games like this where against a team like this that you know you're gonna blow out, give those other guys on the bench, give those guys minutes, like a guy like Diawarra, right? 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:54.479 Who played 18 minutes tonight? 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:00.479 Like Drummond, 16 minutes, Clarkson, 11 minutes, Miles, Miles, Deuce, 15, uh 25 minutes. 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.199 Tyler Kolik, 15 minutes. 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.479 Dalton Kinette is trying to get in rotation. 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:07.280 He had eight minutes, right? 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.719 Daddy A, I thought, look, Daddy A's trying to stay here, man. 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.199 So he didn't his six minutes of play, right? 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.079 And we saw a sight of Jose Alvarado tonight. 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.079 So everybody played tonight. 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:19.759 Everybody played. 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.759 You know, and so to me, this is what happens with games like this, man. 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.519 The Bucks are one and ten, they're on five in a row. 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.920 This is what you do smack them around by 32 and make it a smooth, easy one. 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.680 Now, of course, you know, everyone's gonna say, okay, LV, what about the third quarter of Doom? 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.360 Well, we almost gave up what we almost give up about foremost, 40 points, right? 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:41.839 Gave up 38 in that third quarter. 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:43.920 38 today, 27. 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:45.519 So R27. 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.560 So, you know, once again, were we sleepwalking? 00:04:52.639 --> 00:05:01.360 Yeah, but here's the thing we we blew them out in the second quarter, 32 to 13, and the fourth, 32 to 13 again. 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.519 So look at look at the two, the two major quarters. 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.199 The quarters when we blew the door open. 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.040 The second quarter, 32 to 13, and the fourth quarter, 32 to 13. 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.800 And guys, pay attention to this now. 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:25.680 It's not by accident that that's happening, it's not, and here's the reason why I'm saying that towns had an awesome night. 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:30.240 He didn't have a great shooting night, but together, all together, his stat line is insane. 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.439 I thought he was a monster today, big time. 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.560 But the reason why, and I'm gonna get to towns, the reason why I think he was so good was because of Tyler Koelick. 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:48.319 Tyler Koch came in for that second unit, the start of the second quarter, the start of the fourth quarter, and blew the game open. 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.160 That's because he was running the offense. 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.240 I love Brunson, but Brunson was okay tonight, man. 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:53.680 He was kind of forcing the ball a bit. 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:58.639 It felt like to me, Tyler Koelick and that second unit is really what won this game tonight. 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:04.160 Because they they listen, they they they know they didn't play any games with them in that second unit at all. 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:05.600 At all. 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:12.480 Koalick was a plus 23 tonight, a plus 23, and Deuce was also in that second unit. 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.079 He was a plus 39. 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:21.199 Koch's numbers 12 points, three rebounds, four assists, one turnover. 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:24.319 So he's been playing exceptional. 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:34.879 But what he's doing is he's running the offense to where everybody is getting involved, from guys like Towns, from a guy like, of course, um Landry Shaman, right? 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:36.319 Knocking down shots. 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.680 Even a guy like DiAuara, right? 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.000 He's sharing the ball, running the offense. 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.600 And through that, that's where we started dominating. 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.920 Because even Towns from the free throw line, he was nine for 14. 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.040 He was getting to the rack because Tyler was hitting him with those pick and rolls, you know, just balancing out the court. 00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.480 That's really what you got to do when you're trying to run this pretty much, you know, high octane offense where everything is spread, right? 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.959 Everything's going to the corners, right? 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.079 Driving kick, two feet in the paint, kick to the corners, right? 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:07.040 That's pretty much what he won. 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:07.279 Runs. 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.560 I said these guys to you before. 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.639 It's basically the Warriors' offense. 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.160 And so that's all they're doing. 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.680 So once you get in the paint, you get two feet in the paint, kick out to the corner. 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.120 So it puts a lot of pressure on the defense. 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:22.959 And if guys are knocking down shots, which we were tonight at a high clip, we shot almost 40% from three. 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.040 Now we're pretty much unguardable. 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.480 So now that leaves the plane open for guys like Towns, O Gianobi to really attack the rack. 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:40.879 But to me, that was spearheaded by Kohlig running that offense in the start of the second quarter and the start of the fourth quarter. 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.199 Because regardless, guys,

remember, they cut the lead down to 13. 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:44.720 They were down by 26. 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.759 After the fourth quarter, they cut the lead down to 13. 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.439 After the third quarter, excuse me. 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.680 In the start of the fourth, that's when Kohler came in with Towns and they blew the game open. 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.639 That pick and roll, every time he comes off and they try to double him, he kicks out the towns to knock it down for three. 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.680 Towns didn't shoot that well from three today, only two for nine. 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.600 But we know that's just that's an aberration. 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.399 You know, he's usually about 40% from there. 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:15.199 So if that's open all the time for him, that's that's that's a deadly combination because then you know what he does, right? 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:21.519 He pretty much pump fakes, he drives to the rack, or if not, now he's great, he's a you know, even a greater, a better passer now. 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.800 So now you got to really watch for the corners because sometimes he gets in the paint. 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.199 You think he's gonna try to dunk, he's kicking to the corners. 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:32.399 Either Deuce is over there or Shaman or OG or Bridges, and those guys are knocking down threes, right? 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.840 So, once again, it puts so much more pressure on the defense. 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:42.399 And then, if not, if he doesn't do that, he takes to the rack, he finishes, or if not, he gets fouled and goes to the foul, goes to the foul line. 00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.559 And so that's what that's what towns does. 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:49.279 He puts just puts so much pressure on the defense. 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.519 But you know, that that only happens if you have a point guard that's willing to give it to him, right? 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.600 Give him, you know, pause on that. 00:08:55.919 --> 00:09:00.960 You have a point guard that's willing to feed him the rock and get him into the flow of things. 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.879 But tonight, towns was dominant again, man. 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:06.320 Dominant again. 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.200 For me, once again, he's gonna be play of the game tonight, right? 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:12.960 Play the game, he's gonna be MVP of the game. 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:14.320 Towns straight monster. 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.320 You see the numbers 21.6, three rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block. 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.559 I mean, he's filling up the stat sheet, people. 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.919 And now, guys, this is 10th double double of the year. 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.480 I mean, he's just unstoppable, man. 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:29.279 He's unstoppable. 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.759 Now, of course, you know, he has his moments, so we do know

that. 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:41.039 But one thing I will tell you guys, which we have to be happy about, he's been kind of easy, he's been he's been cooling it with all these fouls. 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.799 How many fouls he had tonight? 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.480 Ready towns only had one foul again tonight. 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.279 So listen, guys, he's he's cleaning that up, he's not getting no bone-headed fouls. 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.320 So now he's able to be in the game longer and dominate the way he is. 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.720 So he's just you just see him all together, man. 00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:58.960 He's just looks like a totally different player. 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:00.000 But I mentioned this to you guys. 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.159 I mean, he looks like he's in better shape, right? 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.159 He's getting up the court quicker, he's being smarter in decision making. 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:13.519 But I think a lot of it goes to everything they changed last year in their Hawks series, getting the ball in his hand to where he can facilitate. 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:19.360 So now you're seeing a motivated player doing what he does. 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:21.360 Right? 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.159 And so, you know, this is the guy that's only NBA. 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:26.240 This is the guy that's gonna be a Hall of Famer. 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.000 This is the guy that was the number one pick in the draft. 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:34.240 I mean, just because of all these things that he can do, but when you put the ball in his hands, he can operate from the top of the key, very much like Joker. 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:39.759 Town's awesome again tonight. 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.480 10th double double of the season, 21 and 16. 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.320 All right, let me get in the chat, man. 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.559 Once again, I appreciate everybody coming through rocking with me tonight, man. 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:49.039 Please hit that like, share, subscribe button. 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:54.080 Uh, big time win for the boys, one 17 to 85, 32-point win for the Knicks. 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.159 Gail Barry, what's going on? 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.399 Appreciate you coming through Rock with LV Live tonight. 00:10:58.480 --> 00:10:59.440 Disc Rover. 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.559 What's going on, man? 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:02.720 Appreciate you coming through rock with LV live tonight. 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:03.840 Big task. 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:04.799 What's going on, man? 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.960 Appreciate you coming through rock with LV Live. 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.399 Black LES. 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.279 What's going on, man? 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.039 Appreciate you coming through rock with LV Live. 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.240 Eric Green. 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:13.679 What's going on, man? 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.559 Appreciate you coming through

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:53.759 You play this kid because you know him, or someone knows him, or that's your son, or whatever. 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.880 He just plays, he starts, he takes all the shots. 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:06.160 With football, it's you know, your son is, you know, just because he's the you know, he's a he's he's the son, he's your son of the coach, he plays quarterback. 00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.799 Baseball, because he's just you know the son of the head coach, he plays shortstop, right? 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.680 He pitches, right? 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:17.440 So all the top positions these guys get, even though they're not better than anybody on the team, right? 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:20.000 So, so no one wants to feel that. 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:21.759 People want there to be fairness. 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:26.319 Now, once again, knowing where you rank, but you want things to be fair. 00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:35.839 And the reality is, is that right now, as equal to me as Alvarado is with Koalick, Koch is right now playing better than Alvarado. 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:37.119 So he's gotta play. 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:47.200 And if Coach is all based on, if everything's based on merit, Koak should be playing for the foreseeable future. 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:54.880 Glue to the pine, that's what we're saying. 00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:58.160 Yeah, that's bad, man. 00:21:58.240 --> 00:21:59.680 Come on, yo, this girl, come on, man. 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:02.640 Come on, man. 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.839 Yo, come on, man. 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:06.319 Give him minutes, man. 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:06.880 Come on, man. 00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.039 Let the young boy rock out. 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.960 Hey guys. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.319 How do you feel about how do you feel?

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.200 Trying to get him to be our backup center. 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:43.119 Skill set is very similar to Towns. 00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:46.400 He can shoot the three, big and block shots. 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:50.480 Maybe he can be, you can learn from towns. 00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:54.960 How would you feel about Khalil Ware backing up towns? 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:57.200 The Knicks making a push. 00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:00.559 Maybe to try to trade and get him. 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.039 Or because they got him coming off the bench. 00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:07.519 How would you guys feel about that? 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.359 I didn't know he was coming off the bench, but then I thought I totally forgot Miles Turner was there. 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:17.599 So he you know he was starting or playing heavy minutes in Miami. 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.599 So how would you guys feel about that move? 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.240 I was like, yo, I forgot they had him, man. 00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:29.839 I said, yo, he's a good ball player, but he's kind of getting lost in the shuffle out there in Milwaukee. 00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:32.880 How would you guys feel about that? 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:34.559 Just throwing it out there. 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.359 All right, once again, let me reset the room every time we're in for them, boys. 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:43.680 Yeah, six and four on the season after 10 games. 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:49.119 If you guys are over on Twitter and you're watching this, please come over to the YouTube side and hit that like button for me. 00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:54.960 Please, and everybody that's in here, please, if you can do so, hit that like button for your boy LV, man. 00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:57.839 But I appreciate everybody coming through rocking with me tonight, man. 00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:00.240 Big time win for them boys. 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:02.079 All right, so let me go here. 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:07.039 Let me bring up some interviews here from the coach. 00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:15.279 Um regarding tonight's game. 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:23.039 Okay, so he so okay, so coach is talking about what we were just talking about. 00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:24.640 We were talking about the Alvarado thing, right? 00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.960 I kind of went on a long tangent about it, right? 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:34.319 So let's kind of uh let's talk about this here because I think this is big here. 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.480 Because I you know, hey, listen, man, I love Alvarado. 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:40.640 I love what he did, I love what he did for us, right? 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:43.599 In the playoffs, he was awesome, right? 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:47.839 But the question is one second, guys. 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.039 Oh, this is coming on one second. 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.920 I'm trying to switch this over one second for you guys. 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:55.759 One second, let me just do this. 00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:59.519 Okay, one second. 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:15.759 The big thing is that um with with with with the whole um okay with the whole like you know, Alvarado and Coleck piece, like you know, we know how great Alvarado played for us, like we understand that. 00:25:15.839 -->

00:25:16.720 But this is a new year, man. 00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:20.880 This is a new year, and my thing is that we got to develop some of these young talent guys that we have. 00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:23.200 You know, we know all about the second apron and stuff like that. 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:29.200 So, our young talent, we gotta develop those guys, and so to me, the way Koalick is playing, you gotta ride that. 00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:30.880 You have to, right? 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:39.599 So, with that being said, let's listen to the head coach, listen to what he has to say about it regarding Avarado and Koch. 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:01.759 You know, right now Tyler's play pretty good basketball. 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:07.519 You know, we've we've strung some games, and um, you know, again, those guys are close. 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:33.200 They they both have to get us in our offense, they both gotta run a team, they both gotta be great defensively, you know, give us what they can defensively, um, you know, do all the little things to help us win ball games, and that's not just Tyler, and that's not just Jose, but those two have to do that, and you know, we'll go with who we go with until we feel that it's time to go to the next guy. 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:41.519 So it's it, you know, again, it's not anything negative right now on Jose or even Tyler when he's out. 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:46.720 They just gotta be ready to play when their number's called, and and both of them are trying to do that. 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:48.720 I love what he just said. 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.319 I love what he just said, and this is the merit base, and I love it. 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:59.119 He said, listen, it's nothing against Jose, or it's nothing, it's just Tyler's playing better, and he is. 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:04.079 He's playing better, he he's playing better than Alvarado. 00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:07.519 He just is, and guys, we've always said this, right? 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.799 Like, let's be honest, we've always said this about the whole Alvarado and and um and Koch piece. 00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:18.720 The difference with with them is that I think Koch's a better ball player, but but the thing is that he can't guard anybody. 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.799 Alvarado can guard, and Alvarado gets after it defensively, right? 00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.559 So that's what kind of changes things as far as those guys. 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.599 Like you kind of felt like Alvarado gets to the edge because he could defend. 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:36.160 Koch was struggling actually to defend, especially or when guys are putting pressure on him at the top of the key, he was turning the ball over, right? 00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.799 So that's what kind of changed things with them. 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:41.359 Now, this year, you've kind of seen a change in Koak. 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:43.519 He's gotten better defensively, right? 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.240 But on top of that, the playmaker's gotten better. 00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:49.759 And you're seeing tonight, he's getting a more aggressive with a shot, right? 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:55.119 So once he starts doing that, he's kind of got the edge on Alvarado to me because he runs the offense way better. 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:55.599 I'm sorry. 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.519 Alvarado gets out there at the top of the key. 00:27:57.599 --> 00:27:58.480 He's running around in circles. 00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:00.319 I'm like, yo, my man, you got to run something. 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:02.240 He doesn't run anything. 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:12.799 Kohlik runs that offense on that second unit, and once again, you see we hit it's like we get better when he's out there, especially for a guy like Towns, right? 00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:14.960 Because he's a big man, so you got to feed the big man. 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:21.839 So with Towns, you see when he's out there and he's with Koalick, he plays way better because he knows he's gonna get the rock. 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:26.079 Brunson, he knows he's got it is what it is with Brunson, right? 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:28.799 And that's okay because that's Brunson's role on the team. 00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:32.559 Once again, identify your role and be great at it. 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.319 Towns understands that when I'm out there with Koch, I could really do me now. 00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:39.119 Now I can really get busy because I know he's gonna be looking for me. 00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:43.119 And then also, two, Kolick is like a magician out there, man. 00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:44.240 He knows how to run the offense. 00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.079 He's like John Stockton, right? 00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:47.759 Coming off of that pick and roll, hitting you. 00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:49.119 Bang, right there in your pocket. 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:50.799 You're finishing strong at the rim. 00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:56.720 Or if you're ready, be ready with him because if you're coming off and you're on the baseline, he's gonna hit you with that pass. 00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:58.880 Be ready for it, be ready to shoot and knock it down. 00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:01.359 Guys love playing with guys like that. 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:06.400 And so, through that, now you see the confidence with him defensively, even with the block shot today. 00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:09.839 So the block shot, he went down there and kind of had the layup bang, bang, boom, right? 00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:11.359 So now you see that with him. 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.680 So now he's giving that little part of his game, too. 00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:17.680 So now that's bringing everything all together for a guy like Kolick. 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:24.000 And so, to the coach's point, it's nothing bad that Alvarado's doing because he's not doing he's not doing anything bad. 00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.079 It's just how well Koch is playing.

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:27.759 Why would you change it? 00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:32.640 Why would you come in and just say, okay, we're gonna play Alvarado just because why would you do that? 00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.839 That makes no sense. 00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:36.160 You go with the hot hand, correct? 00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:38.240 Same way Bridges isn't playing well. 00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:38.799 What happens? 00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:44.240 He sits on the bench, you bring in, you bring in um Shamit, unless Shaman get busy, right? 00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:45.279 I mean, it's easy. 00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:46.640 This is no egos here, man. 00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:48.160 We're trying to win games. 00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:57.039 And once the team has won, like what we've done, you get to a point where no one feels like it's it's not an ego thing with these guys, man, because they've already won. 00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.440 And now they want to continue to win. 00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:07.200 So you got they all adopt the whole like we before me, right? 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:14.960 If that makes any sense to you guys when it comes to the team stuff, and so I think when they do that, it kind of like makes things come together for those guys, man. 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:15.519 You know what I mean? 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.720 I think that you know, I love coach's breakdown regarding that. 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.359 Coach is uh Koalick is like Nash, really. 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:32.160 Nash was nasty, man. 00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:33.279 Steve Nash was nasty. 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:35.279 You know what Steve Nash had that Koalick doesn't? 00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:36.240 He can shoot that pill, man. 00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:37.680 Koch's gotta shoot that pill. 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:42.400 He got a little, he's getting a little more aggressive now, coach, with the shot with the shot, but he's gotta be able to hit that. 00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.920 If he can hit that, I'll put it to you like this. 00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.480 If he can hit that shot and the Knicks roll this year, the Knicks are gonna lose him. 00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:52.079 There's no way the Knicks gonna be able to keep him. 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:53.359 Hold on to him. 00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:58.559 No way, someone's gonna want to give him more money. 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.359 He just are the Knicks are gonna be able to keep him. 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.799 So, you know, but that's all about developing your talent, right? 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:07.519 You know what I mean? 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:10.960 So he's gotta develop that. 00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:12.880 That's that's the difference between him and Steve Nash. 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:13.759 Steve Nash could score. 00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:15.039 He could shoot that three, man. 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:16.640 Because remember, people don't know. 00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:21.599 Remember, Steve Nash was with uh Dirk first in Dallas before he got to Phoenix. 00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:23.519 If you guys know, if you know, you know. 00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.920 Remember, he was in Dallas first, getting busy. 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:34.960 Then he went to Phoenix with Stat in the crew in the Matrix, and that's where he you know got two MVPs, and he was just killing the league with that Dan Tony offense. 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:45.920 Okay, Tony says Tyler Cullock said, Tyler Cullock. 00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:48.000 I said this when he got drafted. 00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:53.759 He has the IQ of Chris Paul as a point guard with his passing. 00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:55.440 I mean, he's tough. 00:31:55.599 --> 00:31:59.119 And listen, guys, he he I mean he was he was a great player coming out of Marquette, right? 00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:00.640 He was biggest player of the year. 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.960 Same thing as Brunson, same thing as Josh, right? 00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:04.799 They they he was getting busy in that conference. 00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.519 He dominated that conference when he was there for those couple of years. 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:08.480 That Marquette. 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:10.480 They were the best team in the conference at the time. 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:12.240 So he was really good. 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.599 But you know, the league, it takes some time to get adjusted to, man. 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:17.119 The league is no joke. 00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:26.000 And uh, you know, there's a whole bunch of dudes sitting at the end of the bench that average 30 in high school or average 15 and 20 in college. 00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:30.000 There's a whole bunch of dudes at the end of the bench that can't see no minutes in the league. 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:31.599 So the league is different like that, man. 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:33.920 So you you know you had to kind of adjust. 00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.559 And I think he'll be fine. 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.079 Okay, so I okay, so okay, so it's back to the wear piece, right? 00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:50.079 Okay, I see everybody's talking about that. 00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:54.160 Um so coach says he wants him. 00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:55.680 He wants, he wants wear. 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:04.319 All right, big task says they said wear is not a good a good, is not good in the locker room. 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:05.680 He's not a good locker room guy. 00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.039 Who's big task? 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:08.400 Who said he's not a good locker room guy? 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:09.359 Who said that? 00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.200 JW says, who will we give up? 00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:18.079 Can't see them making that trade. 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:24.400 Yo, man, people will be willing to move anything, man. 00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:31.519 I would give up, I I would give up, I would give up Deuce and some picks. 00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:34.559 And maybe like a guy like Drummond. 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.559 Cause see,

with a guy like Wear, here's a here's the thing, here's the thing with me with a guy like Weird. 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:42.000 I want you guys to all chime in. 00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:44.640 With a guy like Ware, his upside is through the roof. 00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:45.599 And he's young. 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:47.119 He's really young. 00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.079 So to me, I'm thinking of the next guy to come after Towns, right? 00:33:52.160 --> 00:34:01.599 So if he can work with Towns and work on his game and work on certain things to get him, right, to where when Towns leaves, towns towns is 30. 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:04.160 How many more, how many more years do you think Towns has, guys? 00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:06.559 I'll say four more years, right? 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.920 So if you can get this kid, how old is Khalil where? 00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.920 Because I think Towns has a couple more years left. 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.360 I don't think towns are gonna be here for like six more years and like that. 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:19.280 I think he's gonna be out of here soon, right? 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:21.039 He's he's gonna retire a neck, right? 00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.039 So where is where is 22 years old? 00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:29.840 So let's say town says four more years, and we get this kid, he's he just he just turned 22 this year, right? 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:34.000 So we get him four more years, and he we towns leaves. 00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:40.960 Let's say towns retires, and the kid is 25, 26, so he's right there, right in his prime, and he developed with us. 00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:42.400 Come on, man. 00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:43.519 Come on, man. 00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:45.119 This is this is easy. 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:47.039 This is easy. 00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:55.760 I can see that they need picks. 00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:58.880 Agreed, agreed, and plus also, too, coach, they're rebuilding too. 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:01.840 I'm just I'm just saying, I'm just throwing it out there, guys. 00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:03.679 I'm just throwing it out there. 00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:14.880 Okay, he's showing it, he's showing us more offense because he's getting more time for it to show it, LV. 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:16.480 Tony, listen, Tony, I totally agree with you. 00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:17.519 Tony, listen, look. 00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:19.760 I told you guys before what Joe Mazzula said, right? 00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:21.679 A lot of these guys, you think these guys aren't good players. 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:22.480 They're really good players. 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:24.800 But what makes them better is that they're playing more. 00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:27.519 So in order for them to be good, they got to play more. 00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:30.079 That that now that leads me into the Dalton Kenneth piece. 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:33.280 Like, I think in order to see what he really is, you got to play him more. 00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:35.039 You got to play him more. 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:39.760 But then again, it's like, you know, you got the uh the DOR piece, right? 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:44.239 That's why I was stressing to you guys, I don't know how long Deuce is gonna be around. 00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:46.239 Because they're gonna want to play Dalton Knett. 00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:50.239 They're gonna want to play him more, and that's that's his spot right there where Deuce is at. 00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:53.280 That's where you could put Dalton Kinet right there in that spot. 00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:54.159 Right? 00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:58.639 So the only way these guys are gonna get better, the only way you're gonna really see what they really are is you gotta play them. 00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:01.119 So it's not by accident Koch's playing better. 00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:01.679 You know what I'm saying? 00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:03.119 Because he's playing. 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:13.599 Buzz beat it for life. 00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:14.159 What's going on, man? 00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:17.599 Appreciate you coming through, rocking with LV Live tonight. 00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:19.440 Let's reset the room, man. 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:23.360 Big time room win for them boys by 32 tonight by smacking around the box. 00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:25.119 117 to 85. 00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:27.199 The captain, 23 points, two assists. 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:32.800 The big cat, 21.16 rebounds, 10th double-double of the year. 00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:38.480 The Knicks have now won six out of seven, are currently six and four on the year. 00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.599 Said, I think we have enough developmental hopefuls. 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.639 Okay, so so Discrover, developmental hopefuls meaning who? 00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:49.599 You you you like regarding where? 00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:56.239 Already have Wiseman D O R, Nickel Dadier, even Dalton to an extent. 00:36:56.400 --> 00:37:04.960 Okay, so but but but but Discrover, here's the thing, Discrover. 00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:09.360 You you you gotta find guys that you could that that that have an upside like that. 00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:11.280 Do you understand what I'm saying, Discrover? 00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:15.039 Like Wiseman's just a piece. 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:21.119 It I wiseman doesn't have the upside that Ware does, right? 00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:23.840 You work with Ware, he can be like a Towns 2.0. 00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:25.599 He can he has that skill set. 00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:28.880 Now, does he rebound like Towns? 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:29.440 I don't know. 00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.440 But then again, we don't know because he doesn't play a lot. 00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:34.880 But he can block shots, he's athletic, he could shoot it, right? 00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:36.239 So the kid, you know what I mean? 00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:37.760 So he's a good player. 00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:40.320 Towns is a unicorn, like you know, let's

be clear. 00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:42.239 He's he's the number one pick for a reason, guys. 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:44.159 So he's so he's you you see his numbers. 00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:46.239 Like that's why when everybody was talking crazy about him. 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:47.519 I said, You guys need the Villax. 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:50.320 This guy's, you know, he's got a better trophy case than Brunson. 00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:53.679 I love Brunson, but Towns is through the roof, something different. 00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.480 He just is that big doing what he does. 00:37:56.880 --> 00:38:09.039 So I don't know if where it can be exactly towns, but if he's a notch below, we can still keep this thing rolling and still have the Knicks in contention every year because we got a good young player we can build around in the middle. 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:10.800 Right? 00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:12.639 So that I'm just saying. 00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:20.000 I mean, I don't know how you guys feel. 00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:20.639 You guys let me know. 00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:21.360 Give me pushback. 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:22.639 I'm okay with that. 00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:24.480 I'm okay with that. 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.599 LVR, you saw it on Drummond? 00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.559 I I I am, I think Drummond is solid, but Buzzerbeater, here's the thing, right? 00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:38.559 Drummond's old, man. 00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:41.440 He's old, he's his 15th year, right? 00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:55.920 So is he gonna be able, Buzzerbeater to have the stamina to get through the whole season and be able to play at this level? 00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:58.079 Is Drummond gonna be able to do that? 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:00.960 Right? 00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:02.480 Is he gonna remember? 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:04.400 Mitch didn't play back to back. 00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:10.239 So you know he we was on and off because we kind of had to manage him because we knew he didn't have the stamina, but he gets hurt. 00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:23.119 So does Drummond have the stamina to push through all 82 and on top of that, all into the playoffs where you're playing possibly over 100 games, right? 00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:26.400 And year 15, I don't know. 00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:27.039 I don't know. 00:39:27.119 --> 00:39:28.639 That's my thing with Drummond. 00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:34.079 Solid game tonight for him. 00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:36.800 You know, he said solid good backup, but I'm just saying. 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:49.119 I I just don't know, you know, with that regard, you know, regard regarding, you know, I just I just I just don't know, man. 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:54.159 Okay, so here's here's the coach, right? 00:39:54.320 --> 00:40:02.880 Talking about the Knicks starting 0-3, right, during the season, how they were able to just right now just bounce back, right? 00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:11.599 So let's listen to the coach talk about how the Knicks have bounced back since that losing streak, man. 00:40:11.679 --> 00:40:13.199 Because everyone was panicking when it was 0-3. 00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:14.159 Remember that guys? 00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:15.199 Everyone was panicking. 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:16.719 L LV wasn't panicking, no man. 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:17.840 I was chilling. 00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:21.119 I was macking out, and everybody was going crazy. 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:22.559 Going crazy. 00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:25.840 Let's hit let's hear from the coach. 00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:40.639 Is that just the nature of the schedule turning around and you gotta find something early overreaction and everything got burned back to 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:41.199 where it should be. 00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.400 How do you do, I guess, the first 10-11 games so far? 00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:56.320 But you know, like the the house wasn't burning down for for us, but you know, I I actually I said it and I I had to be careful saying it because I didn't want to get my house ached or anything like that. 00:40:56.559 --> 00:41:08.800 But I I like I enjoyed our start because there was it was competitive, okay, and there were certain small things that we weren't doing well, but it reminded us how hard this is gonna be. 00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:17.599 And so to go through stretches throughout the course of the year uh where you struggle or you lose to a team you're not supposed to lose to, because it's gonna happen. 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:18.960 Uh it's okay. 00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:20.320 How are we gonna handle it? 00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:31.840 I think those types of struggles uh throughout the course of the year build character if you handle it the right way for when the real season happens, which is in in uh April, May, and June. 00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:33.280 Love that. 00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:43.920 Love that great breakdown from the coach, great breakdown, and he's a thousand percent correct, a thousand percent correct. 00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.599 This is what this is where you build that body armor, right? 00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:55.440 When you go through trials and tribulations through the season, and with that, with that body armor, question I have for you guys. 00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:58.079 If we didn't go through what we went through in January last year, right? 00:41:58.880 --> 00:41:59.760 What were we in January? 00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:01.119 What was we oh and nine? 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:02.480 We lost line nine in a row, right? 00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:04.079 Wasn't it like something like that in January? 00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:09.039 What were what was our record in January of last year when everyone was panicking? 00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:10.800 LV included. 00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:12.239 What were we 0-9? 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:14.880 Someone correct me in the chat. 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:18.320 Descrovo was my guy, two and nine, right? 00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:36.159 To me, that was needed because that

going through that is what built this team's character and that body armor to get through what they went through in Atlanta when everybody knew, like, yo, man, we gotta win, we were down two-one in the series. 00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:41.840 We better get it together or if not dudes are losing their jobs and guys are getting traded. 00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:44.960 Like, that's the reality of what was happening in that moment. 00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:53.280 If they didn't go through what they went through in that two and nine uh moment in January, I don't know if they could have been able to weather that. 00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:55.280 Right? 00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:05.119 And so, to coach's point, you go through these things to make you realize and remember how hard it is to win in this league. 00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:08.880 Especially when you got a target on your back. 00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:13.840 And so, to him, like he said, like, you know, he wanted to see how they was gonna respond. 00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:16.800 How are they gonna respond? 00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.800 And bingo, here you go, winning six out of seven. 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:23.519 So they're showing their championship DNA right now. 00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:27.199 Right? 00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:30.559 So now they gotta continue to build on that and continue to get better. 00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:38.079 Okay, let me see here. 00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:42.320 Descroller says, uh, gotta correct you a little bit here, LV. 00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:43.039 Please do. 00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:46.159 JB's trophy case for sure is bigger than cats. 00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:49.519 Uh I don't know. 00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:50.079 I don't know. 00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:51.280 I don't know, the scroller. 00:43:58.559 --> 00:43:59.519 It's debatable. 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.320 I I I know where you're going though, Discover. 00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:12.159 From play of the year in college to the two two two two uh two two two trophies, right?

00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:52.400 There's no way in hell. 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.079 Excuse me, excuse my language. 00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:55.199 There's no way. 00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:56.079 No way. 00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:57.519 Towns changes everything. 00:46:57.599 --> 00:46:58.960 That's why they gotta pay that man. 00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:00.320 They gotta pay him. 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:02.079 They can't play games with him. 00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:10.079 So I think Brunson and Towns are are equally, equally important to this team. 00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:11.679 I think they're 1A and 1A. 00:47:11.760 --> 00:47:13.679 I don't think there's no Batman or Rob and nothing. 00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:16.480 I think they're both Batman on this team. 00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:23.679 Because we need both to even be considered one of the best teams in the league. 00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:24.880 We need them

both. 00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:29.440 So I thought that was a great breakdown by Coach. 00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:45.199 I thought it was an awesome breakdown by him regarding this team and stuff like that, and what they've what they've had to go on go through and stuff like that, the trials and tribulations and helping them build that body armor, man, which I think is really, really, really important here. 00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:48.239 Okay, and bring up some more interviews. 00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:49.599 Okay, Yuri, what's going on, man?

00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:31.519 So we gotta be ready tomorrow. 00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:37.039 So guys resting tonight, including a guy like Josh Hart, I think is big for tomorrow. 00:48:39.360 --> 00:48:40.639 Okay, let me ask somebody. 00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:41.199 Hey Yuri! 00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:42.400 Yo, what's up? 00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:46.320 So, yeah, no, off to the bat, Josh Hart resting, getting a lot of rest. 00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:49.119 Uh, I want to see how that plays out for tomorrow. 00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:50.400 I think they play him. 00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:51.840 I think they're gonna play him tomorrow. 00:48:51.920 --> 00:49:01.599 Cleveland's a big game for us tomorrow, especially on a back-to-back, and especially since we can put the dirt on Cleveland even more to let them know that hey, we won, we won the East. 00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:02.800 We won the East. 00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:04.880 Philly also lost to Boston tonight, I think. 00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:06.159 Let me look at the score. 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:07.039 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:08.800 Yeah, I think they got they got smoke too, right? 00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:11.119 You're able to score 123 to 101. 00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:12.559 Oh wow, got 20. 00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:16.320 The Jalen and Jalen Brown put up a big stinker, 13 points. 00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:18.320 He didn't even have that good of a game tonight. 00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:23.679 Yeah, looking at the box scored, Paul George had 36 points. 00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:29.039 And my bad, yeah. 00:49:29.199 --> 00:49:30.559 Paul George 36 points. 00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:32.320 Tatum 21 points. 00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:35.599 Basically, majority carrier local today. 00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:37.920 Derrick White didn't even have that good of a game tonight. 00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:41.920 They won't Jordan Wall Street even had that good of a game tonight. 00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:47.599 But everyone's apparently not liking Mitch's roll-up in Boston. 00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:53.599 So that's it's gonna be an interesting storyline to watch. 00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:55.519 But yeah, no, back to the Knicks. 00:49:55.679 --> 00:49:56.719 Man, the Knicks did good tonight. 00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:03.119 You know, Mikhail played good defensively, didn't have really like all about games offensively, did had some good highlights defensively. 00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:09.039 Jalen Brunson, Captain, Stone Treckless, Cat, they show out another double-double. 00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:15.440 Jose Alvarado, we can clearly tell he's out of the rotation until he shows some kind of effort. 00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:16.559 But you know, I'm not worried about that. 00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:19.920 Tyler Coleck has been the one I've been impressed with. 00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:22.960 Developing the young guys while we're winning. 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.679 That's always been my issue with Tibbs. 00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:29.280 I will come up here and say I was a Tibbs boy, did not want him fired. 00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:36.079 But I will personally say, Mike Brown, I apologize because you're developing while we're winning. 00:50:36.239 --> 00:50:37.519 What says you all be? 00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:39.199 Hey, listen, you're right on, man. 00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:39.599 You're right. 00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:41.440 I'm glad you kind of chimed in with Tyler Kochman. 00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:42.320 He's been awesome. 00:50:42.400 --> 00:50:44.639 And he's the reason why Alvarado can't get on the court. 00:50:44.800 --> 00:50:45.760 And to me, I love that. 00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:51.039 I love that, Yuri, because listen, it's if if coach is basing everything like you you mentioned before, Yuri, right? 00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:52.719 He said everything is based on merit. 00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:55.119 Guys on the bench have to earn the minutes. 00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:04.400 If that's true, if that's true and that's what it is, then Koch should continue to play until he's kind of fallen out of favor and he's been playing, you know, has a couple of stinkers. 00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:10.960 But while that second unit is rolling, keep him in there, Yuri, because he looked fabulous tonight. 00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:13.119 The second unit was awesome. 00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:15.760 To me,

he is the main reason. 00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:18.159 He's the engine for that second unit. 00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:20.159 And if things don't stop, let's keep it going. 00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:22.559 Jalen Brunson's always been a scoring point guard. 00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:23.119 We know that. 00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:26.159 We've seen him draw out when he was in New York, while he was in Dallas. 00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:30.960 You know, he's always been a ball-dominant point guard, but he has shown flashes of passing the ball, etc. 00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:40.000 But when we really need the ball movement, when offense is when defense figures out Jalen Brunson, we need someone to give us that spark off the bench passing-wise to keep the ball moving. 00:51:40.079 --> 00:51:43.280 And I think Tyler Koelick fits really well for that. 00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:45.599 You know, he's always shown flashes of it. 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:48.400 We never got to see it under Tibbs, right? 00:51:48.800 --> 00:51:51.840 But we always saw the highlights of it. 00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:58.719 So I'm very interested to see how Koch's development goes defense on a choir. 00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:00.320 I always saw what he can do offensively. 00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:01.599 I need to see more from defense. 00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:03.119 And I think we saw it tonight. 00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:09.039 You know, had a big block, transitioned into you know, the fast break bucket. 00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:11.519 And don't be fooled by Milwaukee Bucks' record. 00:52:11.599 --> 00:52:16.239 Yeah, they had a hard record, but they gave the Knicks fits tonight, trying to score points in the first half. 00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:19.519 I thought it was gonna be a close game until the Knicks broke out of it in the second half. 00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:22.559 But the Milwaukee Bucks did what they had to do to make our job harder. 00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:26.639 We didn't really rest the starters until the fourth quarter, LB. 00:52:26.719 --> 00:52:31.840 So I want to see how that gives going into for tomorrow's game. 00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:33.280 What do you think, LB? 00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:35.119 Hey, listen, I totally agree. 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:40.800 Man, I think I think uh the starters I think played great, but you know, they only played 28 minutes tonight, Yuri. 00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:42.159 So I think that's perfect for tomorrow. 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:43.360 Perfect, right? 00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:50.320 And so, like you said, you know, the Bucs gave us some some you know, some kind of pushback, especially in that uh that third quarter, right? 00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:52.480 They scored they scored like 38 points, right? 00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:54.079 Almost 40 points. 00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:57.599 But to me, once again, Tyler Koch was the key, right? 00:52:57.679 --> 00:52:59.280 That second quarter, Yuri. 00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:02.719 We beat them 32 to 13 in the second quarter. 00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:08.800 Same thing in the fourth quarter, 32 to 13, spearheaded by Tyler Koch running the offense with Towns. 00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:10.239 And we're starting to see a dean. 00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:11.679 We're starting to see a dean. 00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:13.199 We're starting to see a dean here. 00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:16.400 Mike Brown's holding up the merit from what he said back on training camp. 00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:18.800 If you're not playing well, you're gonna be benched. 00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:21.280 If you're playing well, you're gonna get minutes. 00:53:21.440 --> 00:53:28.639 We're seeing him hold up that end of the promise, and it's almost like all the players are bought into that, especially the bench. 00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:36.800 Because look at Jose Alvarati, he's not he's not soaking on a bench, he, you know, he he was out for a little bit, you know, he's trying to get his rhythm back. 00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:45.760 You see him cheering on Tyler Koelick, you see Mohammed Diarra dab up Koelick, you see all these young guys who are on the bench supporting each other. 00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:55.840 There's no ego on our team, and I feel like that is what's gonna divide us from all the teams in the Eastern Conference, and especially with the injuries piling up now. 00:53:56.000 --> 00:54:00.559 We have players on a bench that can be starters on any given night. 00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:07.519 You saw it tonight with Landry Shaman, and you're seeing it now with Koick. 00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:16.079 I wouldn't be surprised if Koalick's a starter on another team, but say Bunsen has you know knock on wood, an injury, all he needs a day off later on in the season. 00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:19.679 You know, workload gets closer to the playoffs, you know. 00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:23.440 We have a good standing, probably gonna have a clinching seed. 00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:29.760 We could put Tyle Koalick in the starting game, try to win us a game with that, rest the starters for the playoffs. 00:54:30.079 --> 00:54:35.760 All this is leading up to in the second half of the year next year, it's going to be leading. 00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:40.000 How are we gonna maintain our standings in the top six? 00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:41.519 What's SULB? 00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:42.960 Listen, agreed. 00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:46.719 I'm glad you mentioned the whole fact of you know Brunson resting and how well Colex playing. 00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:47.280 That's big, man. 00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:49.280 But listen, that's why these minutes are important, right? 00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:50.800 For all these young guys to play. 00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:52.960 You want these guys to develop experience, right? 00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:56.880 So when you throw them out there, right, Yuri, they don't feel like they're in they're shell-shocked, right? 00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:58.079 Or the lights are too bright. 00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:00.079 They've been getting a lot of minutes

all year. 00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:07.280 And so when you get them out there, let's say they give uh OG a day off, to give Kat a day off, to give, like you said, you know, Brunson, right? 00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:09.840 So now these guys have played a lot throughout the year. 00:55:10.079 --> 00:55:13.119 So them playing, it's okay with them. 00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:17.599 They don't feel so shell-shocked, very similar, ready, guys, to OKC. 00:55:17.840 --> 00:55:21.039 That's why OKC is so good because all the young guys play. 00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:33.599 And so to me, that's the importance of these moments against teams like this tonight and those development of those guys like a Dioara, like a Koch, even like a Kinette, right? 00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:37.519 Even like okay, you know, of course, a guy like Shaman, right, starting tonight, right? 00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:41.039 So, for course, if you know certain guys can't play, you know you could throw him in there. 00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:43.519 He's basically a starter on the bench, right? 00:55:43.760 --> 00:55:49.119 So, once again, the only way you're gonna get better is you got to play. 00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:50.800 And through that, I think that's good. 00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:55.440 Another point that you made about those guys not being selfish, it's a we versus me attitude. 00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:56.480 Everybody's all about we. 00:55:56.559 --> 00:55:56.880 You know why? 00:55:56.960 --> 00:55:58.159 Because they just won a championship. 00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:05.360 So they know, right, Yuri, the blueprint is you follow directions on how we are as a team, and we're gonna win everything. 00:56:05.519 --> 00:56:10.559 So it's easier now to sell that point to these guys because they've already been to the mountaintop. 00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:12.800 You know, I'm saying that's why it makes it easier. 00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:13.199 Right. 00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:16.000 And not to mention, too, you bring up you bring up a good point. 00:56:16.159 --> 00:56:23.119 When you reach the mountaintop, it's harder to defend the mountaintop because you got to work all over again. 00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:25.840 But the Knicks have a real good chance of repeating. 00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:27.280 I really do believe that. 00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:29.599 Knicks have a very good chance of repeating. 00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:30.800 I'm not sold on it yet. 00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:33.119 I need to see how they play throughout the regular season. 00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:36.960 But given how the East is looking right now, injuries are mining up. 00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:39.280 You got Indiana, Tyrese Halibut and stuff. 00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:43.599 I expect Tyrese to be back on Friday because he just does not want to miss the MSG lights. 00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:45.519 I I know how these players are. 00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:49.199 Got Tyrese coming back Friday, probably, most likely. 00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:58.000 You've got basically

majority NBA is banged up with injuries, and we're basically knock on wood, the healthiest team right now in the NBA. 00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:06.880 So not only is that perfect for us, but that's perfect for the east right now because it's competitive right now in the east. 00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:10.639 You just saw what Philly did the you just saw Philly went through with Boston. 00:57:10.800 --> 00:57:14.800 You know, you just saw there's a lot of competitiveness in the east right now. 00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:17.199 The west is also stacked of competition. 00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:23.360 I want to see how we do with the West this year more because of the revamping of the West. 00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:25.360 What says you LB? 00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:28.880 Yeah, look, I think we're gonna be fine against anybody, right? 00:57:28.960 --> 00:57:30.400 I think we've proven that, right? 00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:34.719 So, you know, the best team out there to me right now is the Spurs. 00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:36.239 We saw what we did to the Spurs, right? 00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:41.039 So I so there's nobody I'm worried about at all, especially when we're clicking on all cylinders, right? 00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:53.119 So I just think it comes down to Yuri, you got to continue to develop guys because there's gonna be nights where you're just not gonna have it, and there might be a game where Dioara saves you from from Alter Connect saves you. 00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:54.639 The Alter Connect saves you, right? 00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:59.119 So that's what it's all about right now, because we know what the starters can do, they've already proven themselves. 00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:01.440 So now it's develop these guys, get better. 00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:03.599 I think that's what Mike Brown is doing, which is awesome. 00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:05.519 Everybody played tonight, which I think is fabulous. 00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:10.480 Tibbs wouldn't have done that, he would have played maybe some guys, but he would have pushed these guys to the brink, right? 00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:12.960 So that's what Mike Brown does, which is totally different from Tibbs. 00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:14.559 He develops these young guys. 00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:17.039 And so at certain times, like even tonight, right? 00:58:17.119 --> 00:58:19.360 Yuri, it's a it's a it's a no November 10th. 00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:22.480 You feel like no one's watching, and he's playing the whole bench, right? 00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:23.440 So that's how it should be. 00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:27.760 So it should be the same way in January and February when no one's watching those games. 00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:32.320 That's where guys develop talent, and that's where guys develop confidence. 00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:47.280 So when we get to April, May, and June for the real push, you can press that button of a DOR, of a shaman, of a Ko-leak, and trust in those guys because they've been they've proven it throughout the

season. 00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:48.559 Right, right. 00:58:48.719 --> 00:58:50.639 And that's what I look forward to throughout the year. 00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:56.400 I want to see how much experience we give, not just to the bench, but to our two-way contracts as well. 00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:59.519 I know you can't play a certain amount of games. 00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:02.239 You have to play at least 50 games if you're on a two-way. 00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:07.280 So I'm interested to see how Mike Brown manages that. 00:59:07.440 --> 00:59:10.480 Okay, who am I gonna play on this type of game? 00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:13.440 Okay, we're going up against, for example, like we did with the Bucs. 00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:16.079 Okay, I'll throw in a bit of Dalton Connect there. 00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:17.599 Okay, the lead's down to 14. 00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:24.400 Okay, call a timeout, put the starters back in there, see if they can get the lead back up to 20, 26, or 28, and then I could put the bench back in. 00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:26.400 Mike Brown managed this game very well. 00:59:26.559 --> 00:59:28.239 I'm very convinced of that. 00:59:28.480 --> 00:59:33.519 There was no hesitation when the lead got up to 14 because I know what Mike Brown's gonna do. 00:59:33.599 --> 00:59:35.199 He's like, okay, leads down to 14. 00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:36.800 Okay, time to put the bench back in. 00:59:37.119 --> 00:59:38.639 Time to put the starters back in. 00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:47.679 He managed the game, and for him to have 29 minutes just for the starters alone is huge because now we have the rest going into Cleveland. 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:55.280 And boy, oh boy, let me tell you, Cleveland's management is going at it with I think I lost Yuri, man. 00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:56.320 Yuri was rolling right there. 00:59:56.400 --> 00:59:57.519 Yuri was rolling. 00:59:57.760 --> 00:59:58.559 I think I got him back. 00:59:58.719 --> 00:59:59.840 Got you back there, Yuri. 01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.719 Yeah, the players are going at it with each other in Cleveland. 01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:08.960 You know, Cleveland's going at it with the fans. 01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:13.679 That fan, it's just a mess right now in Cleveland, especially with Kenny Atkinson at the home. 01:00:13.920 --> 01:00:17.519 You know, I'm gonna end it there because I'm gonna probably keep getting disconnected. 01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:18.639 So I'll end it there. 01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:22.480 Overall, win against Cleveland tomorrow, put their season in the third. 01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:24.639 I don't want to hear any more about Cleveland. 01:00:24.800 --> 01:00:25.519 Salute. 01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:27.199 All right, salute Yuri. 01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:29.519 Appreciate you coming through rocking with LV Live. 01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:31.440 That's my guy Yuri right there, man. 01:00:31.599 --> 01:00:33.519 Always coming through with great heat. 01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:34.639 Always coming through. 01:00:34.719 --> 01:00:35.599 Yuri, I appreciate you. 01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:38.159 Once again, guys, is the link is in the chat. 01:00:39.119 --> 01:00:41.199 So I appreciate everybody coming through rocking with me tonight, man. 01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:42.000 Let's reset the room. 01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:43.360 Big time win for them boys tonight. 01:00:43.440 --> 01:00:45.440 117 to 85. 01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:48.639 The captain, 23 points, two assists. 01:00:48.800 --> 01:00:49.599 Uh the big cat. 01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:52.159 21 points 16 rebounds, man. 01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:54.159 Another double-double for him. 01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:56.880 LeBron 76ers, man. 01:00:56.960 --> 01:00:57.840 Hey, listen, what's going on, man?

01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:05.039 Last 10 games, right? 01:07:05.199 --> 01:07:05.920 Last 10 games. 01:07:06.079 --> 01:07:07.440 You guys see it right here, right? 01:07:07.519 --> 01:07:09.840 That's he had tonight, 19 points. 01:07:10.320 --> 01:07:12.480 Last 10 games, 33 minutes a game, right? 01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:15.679 38% from the field, only 29% from three. 01:07:16.159 --> 01:07:16.559 Right? 01:07:16.800 --> 01:07:21.199 87% from the line, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists. 01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:23.599 You see it's 16.4, right? 01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:27.440 So he's got to get a shooting percentage up, right? 01:07:27.519 --> 01:07:29.280 So we we know he's a better player than that, right? 01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:31.840 It's only 10 games, right? 01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:35.760 So we know that the numbers are gonna get up with OG, right? 01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:38.880 But I mean, he's one of the best wings in the game. 01:07:38.960 --> 01:07:39.840 We we we know this, right? 01:07:39.920 --> 01:07:41.199 That's why he's getting the money that he's getting. 01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:42.880 We understand how good he is. 01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:47.039 So I think with OG, he's gotta get his shot better, man. 01:07:47.199 --> 01:07:48.159 He's gotta get his shot better. 01:07:48.320 --> 01:07:50.800 That's sometimes some things we worry about with him. 01:07:51.679 --> 01:07:56.559 But is he gonna make the all-star team this year? 01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:57.920 I don't think so. 01:07:59.199 --> 01:08:00.639 I said all that to say that. 01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:02.719 I don't think he makes the all-star team this year. 01:08:03.519 --> 01:08:08.320 He's too up and down, but he is our secret weapon. 01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:10.800 He is, he's the third option, man. 01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:16.880 When he's when he's scoring, that's when we're really, really tough to beat, right? 01:08:17.039 --> 01:08:18.000 Really, really tough to breathe. 01:08:18.079 --> 01:08:20.239 And when that three ball is is falling for him, man. 01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:23.039 That's when he's he's just he's tough to deal with. 01:08:23.359 --> 01:08:24.239 He really, really is. 01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:30.000 On top of the fact, on top of the fact that also, too, he's great defensively. 01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:32.880 That's the

other dynamic with him, right? 01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:35.840 So he's just gotta continue to keep it rolling, man. 01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:39.439 But he's gotta get that shooting percentage up, man. 01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:43.760 That shooting percentage is just not, it's just it's a little shaky right now, man, for him, man. 01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:45.840 So so so that's something I worry about with him. 01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:51.760 But but but is this something that you know is gonna be like going to be like that forever? 01:08:51.840 --> 01:08:52.960 No, not for the whole season. 01:08:53.119 --> 01:08:55.760 I'm sure it'll get way better, right? 01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:08.720 And so that's something that you know he's gonna continue to um work on, but it's still early, still very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very early. 01:09:14.319 --> 01:09:16.720 Okay, so let's just listen to the big cat, right? 01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:32.319 So Towns is now one double double away from Willis Reed for the longest streak to start a next season with a double double. 01:09:32.560 --> 01:09:34.399 Do you guys think he gets it? 01:09:37.119 --> 01:09:39.439 Do you guys think he gets the double double? 01:09:40.479 --> 01:09:43.199 He's one double double away. 01:09:47.680 --> 01:09:48.560 Let me see here. 01:09:48.640 --> 01:09:49.439 Okay, let me show up. 01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:52.159 Okay, let's bring this up too for towns. 01:09:53.439 --> 01:09:54.239 Does he get it? 01:09:54.800 --> 01:09:56.880 Does he catch Willis Reed and I got one better? 01:09:56.960 --> 01:10:01.119 Does he pass Willis Reed to get that record? 01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:02.960 To start the season. 01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:09.359 Let's hear from Towns regarding that. 01:10:10.640 --> 01:10:12.239 Shout out to Willis Reed, man. 01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:13.520 I didn't know that. 01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:17.520 I just know that this team right now, we're on a good winning street. 01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:20.239 We're playing good, playing good basketball. 01:10:20.399 --> 01:10:22.000 Um that's the most important thing. 01:10:22.159 --> 01:10:23.760 That's all the fans really want to hear about. 01:10:24.079 --> 01:10:28.479 I feel like improving better to start this season. 01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:31.600 Uh I don't know. 01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:32.159 I don't know. 01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:38.479 I I just, you know, I just another year with this team, just experience, and just uh I don't know. 01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:43.439 Just maybe a better another year of you know, better understanding of what Mike wants and what I can do to help his system. 01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:46.960 Is it fun to play with Tyler Coleck when he's playing like that? 01:10:47.199 --> 01:10:47.920 Yeah, it is. 01:10:48.079 --> 01:10:48.880 He's really great. 01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:52.159 I mean, him, Jose Alvarado really make that bench special. 01:10:52.239 --> 01:10:54.000 So um, shout out to Mountain for real. 01:10:54.159 --> 01:10:57.199 Uh, you know, you're behind an all-NBA point guard and Jalen Brunson. 01:10:57.279 --> 01:11:04.239 It's a lot to ask to go out there and try to fill his shoes, but they've been doing an amazing job of controlling the team, controlling the pace, and leading us. 01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:05.840 Shout out to Willis Reeman. 01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:08.239 Listen, great breakdown by Towns. 01:11:08.399 --> 01:11:09.439 Great breakdown by him. 01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:14.239 I think the most important thing that he said, what I loved. 01:11:15.119 --> 01:11:19.039 They said, is this like, you know, is this you know, is this the best start for you or whatever? 01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:21.119 You know, he was like, I don't know, man. 01:11:21.199 --> 01:11:25.520 He said, I just I just think that it's a better understanding of Mike's system and what he wants. 01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:30.239 I guys, I'm telling you, I think they unlocked everything in the Atlanta series. 01:11:30.319 --> 01:11:33.920 In that Atlanta series, when he remembered what the story is. 01:11:35.840 --> 01:11:42.960 Um remember, he went up to the coaches, right? 01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:57.600 Who's the um who's who's who's uh uh one second, I'm pulling something up really quick. 01:11:57.680 --> 01:12:06.880 So I just kind of like had your brain freeze uh Chris Jen, right? 01:12:06.960 --> 01:12:07.680 Big shouts to him, man. 01:12:07.760 --> 01:12:10.000 I heard he's dealing with some personal stuff or whatever, man. 01:12:10.079 --> 01:12:13.279 He's why if you notice he hasn't been there, he had he's taking the lead from the team. 01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:15.600 So I hope he's okay and whatever he's dealing with. 01:12:15.680 --> 01:12:19.920 So big shouts to Chris Jett, associate head coach, but he's like the offensive guy. 01:12:20.159 --> 01:12:27.920 So remember, if you remember, and if I'm correct, and also too, I think he's an associate head coach, too. 01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:29.920 So Mike Brown gets ejected. 01:12:30.000 --> 01:12:34.800 Chris Jett will be the coach, so he's not there right now because he's dealing with some stuff like I've mentioned. 01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:42.720 But remember, Towns went to him and they went to Mike Brown to say, listen, run the offense through me. 01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:44.159 Right? 01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:48.399 And that changed everything. 01:12:48.640 --> 01:12:51.680 And towns has been a different player since then. 01:12:51.840 --> 01:12:53.199 We all knew how great he was. 01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:56.640 Look, he was putting up numbers before before Mike Brown got here with Tibbs. 01:12:56.720 --> 01:13:01.920 Remember, he had his best season, one of his best seasons when he was with Tibbs that first year with the Knicks. 01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:04.960 But then you come in with a new guy, new system, new this, new that. 01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:07.119 Him and Towns were kind of button heads, whatever.

01:13:07.359 --> 01:13:09.119 They figure it out in Atlanta. 01:13:09.359 --> 01:13:14.399 Towns has been a monster since that series, a monster. 01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:24.880 And I'll be honest with you, I think we sweep the Spurs if they weren't calling on nonsense every two seconds, every time Towns blew on Wemby, but Wemby's shoving Brunson in the back of his head. 01:13:25.039 --> 01:13:29.680 Like every time Towns got close to Wemby, they could they started calling fouls. 01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:34.319 And that's after game one and game two, where Towns was dominating Wemby. 01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:42.000 So Towns, since that Atlanta series, he's been a totally different player, and you're seeing it now. 01:13:43.279 --> 01:13:53.199 And like I like he said, you know, like them coming in there and keeping him getting a better understanding of Mike Brown's system and what Mike Brown wants, right? 01:13:55.439 --> 01:13:58.560 He said, and that's why things things have been better. 01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:03.840 But I think everything came down to the Atlanta series. 01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:10.720 They unlocked something, and Towns has been a totally different player since then, man. 01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:12.000 Totally different. 01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:22.079 Discrover says the real story was that the coaches were already considering doing point cat, but pulled the trigger when Kat went to them about it. 01:14:22.239 --> 01:14:23.920 You know what, Discrover? 01:14:26.479 --> 01:14:30.159 I'm glad you said the coaches were already considering it. 01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:33.119 The problem is, why didn't they do it? 01:14:33.279 --> 01:14:35.279 Like, that's my biggest thing with you, Discrover. 01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:37.279 It's cat shouldn't go to them and have to tell them that. 01:14:37.439 --> 01:14:38.000 You're the coach. 01:14:38.079 --> 01:14:40.000 You should be able to see it and understand. 01:14:40.159 --> 01:14:43.119 And remember, all year we were like, yo, wives and towns getting touches. 01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:43.600 Remember this? 01:14:43.680 --> 01:14:47.119 We were saying this, everybody was screaming this all last year, including L V. 01:14:48.159 --> 01:14:49.600 He's an all-NBA guy. 01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:52.159 How can't you figure out how to make it work with him? 01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:53.840 What are you doing? 01:14:56.640 --> 01:14:58.319 Guys finally woke up. 01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:01.279 Good thing they did because we won a championship. 01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:07.840 But what I'm saying is, since then, since then, Towns has been on a tear. 01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:09.840 He's been on a tear, man. 01:15:10.800 --> 01:15:13.760 And so that's why I'm telling you guys, yo, they gotta lock him in, man. 01:15:13.840 --> 01:15:15.279 They can't play games with this. 01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:16.880 They cannot. 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:26.720 Because if you lock him in, guys, I'm telling you, listen, I wouldn't be surprised the

01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:21.279 The team realized how hard it is to win in this league. 01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:25.600 Like how you know how hard it is. 01:18:25.680 --> 01:18:26.960 You know what I'm saying? 01:18:28.079 --> 01:18:33.520 And I think that that's like that's the thing that sometimes you kind of forget, right? 01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:36.319 After winning the championship, you come back and you're kind of playing with certain team. 01:18:36.479 --> 01:18:41.039 Remember, the Knicks played against you know a lot of a lot a lot of tough teams, right? 01:18:41.359 --> 01:18:47.680 You know, a lot, you know, from from Detroit to Boston to, you know, of course, the Sixers twice, right? 01:18:47.760 --> 01:19:02.000 So the Knicks played all top teams and are pretty much, and were pretty much, excuse me, you know, pretty much, you know, everyone's got them in, you know, pretty much ready to sharpen their tools against the Knicks, right? 01:19:02.159 --> 01:19:11.039 So the Knicks had to wake up, and to Mike Brown's point, they had to remember or remind themselves how hard it was to win this league. 01:19:11.119 --> 01:19:14.239 And this is not an easy thing, and so they had to match that intensity. 01:19:14.319 --> 01:19:21.199 And the and the beauty of all that, too, guys, if you remember, is they didn't get blown out in none of those games, they could have went won all those games. 01:19:21.600 --> 01:19:25.520 There was a couple things here and there they had to fix, but they could have won those games. 01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:31.680 It was just a matter of them putting everything together, and now it looks like it looks like they're starting to get their flow. 01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:33.920 And then also, two guys, let's remember this too. 01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:35.439 Guys are still identifying their roles. 01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:45.840 I mean, I think the starters know who they are, but even Mike Brown with the bench unit, guys have to identify their roles, they have to redefine who's who, what's your job, what's your responsibility. 01:19:46.000 --> 01:19:47.359 You know, and it's gonna change, you know. 01:19:47.520 --> 01:19:48.479 Any two games is gonna change. 01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:51.520 It's only 10 games in, so we got 72 more games to go. 01:19:51.840 --> 01:20:03.520 But new roles have to be established and finalized and pretty much put in stone to where guys know what they need to do to help this team get back to where they were before. 01:20:10.239 --> 01:20:16.079 And so, so, you know, so to me, I think that that's really like you know, that's that's really what it comes down to. 01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:25.920 And once again, man, I think I think I think we'll be fine, man. 01:20:26.159 --> 01:20:27.039 I think we'll be fine. 01:20:27.119 --> 01:20:31.840 I've been saying that since the 0 3 start. 01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:34.079 I've been saying that. 01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:36.560 And so it's just a good place to be in, man. 01:20:36.640 --> 01:20:37.439 It's a good place to be in. 01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:40.800 We have Cleveland tomorrow, so we got to keep this thing rolling. 01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:41.600 All right. 01:20:42.479 --> 01:20:44.399 But listen, guys, let me get up out of here, right?
