Make it two losses in a row for the New York Knicks as they fell to the Celtics in Beantown, 133 to 123 on Friday.

The loss, in that loss, there was a change to the starting lineup and a late injury to Jalen Brunson.

Now, there's plenty to talk about around the Knickerbocker.

So let's do it with the dean of Nick's Film School.

That would be Jonathan McRri, who joins me now.

Jay Mack, what's going on?

Oh, you know, I'm reeling, just like all Nick fans who had to endure these last two games.

Not too much fun, but hopefully the level of competition going down just a tad'll bring some nicer things as we move along here in

December. Yeah, looking on social media after this recent loss to the Celtics wasn't a lot of fun.

Now, as I said, the Knicks, they lost to the Celtics again this season. They're 0 and 3 against

their division rivals. New York. They're now 0 and 5 against Boston and Milwaukee,

and they have a 2- nine record against teams with winning

records.

Are you concerned, J-MAC, about those numbers, and does the team's recent performances this

week against the Bucks and Celtics show that they're a middling team in the conference

right now?

Oh, my goodness, middling.

It's like going on a date and hearing that someone really likes your personality.

It's just, it's not the words you want to hear at all.

Look, I think like 20 teams in the league right now, you could define as middling.

There's five really good teams or so, five not so great teams, and everybody else is in the middle.

And I think the Knicks, like a lot of those
