I haven't talked as much about the Knicks, and this is why it's just very hard to judge a basketball team during the regular season when there's such a wide range of opponents.

And I think that even though it's a simplistic thought, it's true.

It's like, I need to see what you do next.

I need to see what you do next.

And that next game Saturday against Philadelphia, that's what we're looking for. I mean, I know you won by 54 points against the Nets, but you're a team that's supposed to go to the NBA finals, and you were playing like crap. So what happened last night against the Nets means nothing to me. It really doesn't. Unless you lost, then I'd have a problem.

And you're not supposed to lose at home on MLK Day against a team like the Mavericks,

even with Cooper Flagg back in the lineup.

Exactly.

So it's just will this team continue to build off of what happened last night

and get to a point before the trade deadline

where Leon Rose, Jim Dolan, Worldwide West, Mike Brown, whoever the hell else,

feels like this team can go win a championship, or do they have to make a massive change?

We're about two weeks away from the trade deadline.

Yeah, I know. It's creep it up. It's right here, man.

So, and maybe that's one of the reasons why the team is not playing that great. Maybe, maybe they're thinking that, you know, they're hearing the buzz or maybe the agents are involved. And, you know, you never know what goes on. I mean, like, they've ruined the, the, the ranger culture about two years ago. Yeah, with all that stuff. You just got to wonder if that's happening to the Knicks right now.

Yeah, and all that stuff.

You just got to wonder if that's happening to the Knicks right now.

Yeah, and that's something that I mentioned.

Frank Isola, of course, has covered the Knicks in New York basketball forever.

You know, his opinion on it was that he thinks that Carl Anthony Towns

is having a down year for him, in part, because of all the Janus chatter prior to the season and during the season, how he would be a part of that, you know, thinking that I came here.

I'm supposed to be a part of this team that wins a championship and brings a championship back to New York.
