You know what I'm saying?

Actually, I think it's worse than what it was with Tom Fibito, a slow start for the Knicks, at least on the road here, B.C. Yeah, it's been a slow start. Listen, I think it's nuts to go, two going nuts after four games here. And I'll grant you this, obviously a lot of discussions you and I had when they decided to move on from Tom Thibito, from Mike Brown. I do think if Tom Fibito's coaching this team this year, they're probably three and one, maybe even four and oh. I'll grant you that. I'm not even looking to pushback there because I just think that there's more of an urgency during the regular season with Tom, and that results in some more wins. That's not my concern. My concern is the guy who is supposed to be running shotgun with Jalen Brunson to him with a championship. He's just not it, man. And I promise you, I have thought about this for a long time. This is not a hot take. This is not firing open the mic and just try to harpoon a guy. But Carl Anthony Towns is a problem. He's never going to be that guy. He never was that guy.

He didn't do a damn thing to change his body. He is soft. He is slow. He is sloppy. And I also know, Sal, there's going to be nights where he puts in 40 and, you know, 13 rebounds. And I also know that he's not fully healthy right now. The quad is not quite good. and I do believe that he's a little bit

compromised with that, but

the, the that he's not fully healthy right now. The quad is not quite good. And I do believe that he's a little

bit compromised with that. But the ceiling for the Knicks is, it's just, it's not a championship

with Carl Anthony Towns running shotgun next to Brunson. Okay. So my question to you, though,

would be, did you think that that would, what made you think that that was going to be any different

from what we saw a year ago?

Well, it wasn't because when we talked about this going into the season, I didn't think they'd win the championship. I told you that. We agreed on that. I remember I said, no, but forget about the championship. Yeah. I'm talking about towns. Well, it was, I guess it was my hope that he would, that he would take this off season and change his body and

understand, hey, I was in the Eastern Conference finals, I've got a team that could win a championship,

I'm getting floated out there with, with rumors for, you know, be traded for Yonnas, and maybe take it

personally and take it seriously and kind of, kind of, I don't know, just take that next step physically and emotionally. It's just not that guy. All right, but what was the other big thing that they did? Well, I mean, obviously you change coaches here. It's not a finished product, though. I know you're going to have an early laugh now. I get it. It's not even an early left. The big knock on Tibbs was that, and even I said this as a Tibb supporter, was that he didn't maximize Carl Anthony Towns offensive game. If you watch the Knicks play under Mike Clown so far, it looks. Mike, who? Mike Clown. No, we'll go with Mike Clown for games in.

He's a clown, dude.

Mike Clown.

He's a clown.

He's got no control of the team whatsoever.

I go ahead.

Mike Clown.

You want, like, that's what he is.

He's a guy that wants to be loved by the players in the media and joke around with the fans.

He's not a real head coach. He's a clown. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but like his name rhymes a clown, and I think he coaches like a clown.
