Carmelo, Tiki Barber, I'm Evan Roberts. Thanks for coming on today, man. Yes, sir, baby. Thanks for having me, man. No, it's great to have you. Carmelo joins us on behalf of Draft Kings, one of the most exciting places to engage in the NBA playoffs. Carmel, how are you feeling? Former Nick, obviously you'd heavily engage in this team. How are you feeling about this team, especially resting so much?

And we knew that that's so important, you know, some of the injury issues that they've had.

But how are you feeling about this team?

I think we are, I'll say we as a, as a New York.

They have guys who can shoot for most of this year and really going into the Tibbs era as well. It felt like, man, this team doesn't want to, they're not good enough to beat some of the best teams defensively. How does that flip?
