The Janks are presented by Crop Metcalf.

I almost called us the Jenks instead of the junks.

Maybe I was thinking of our pal Jenks who works for Ben QL.

We're brought to you by Crop Metcalf, the official heating and cooling company

of the junkies, not the Jenkies.

We're joined now on the Bet QL guest hotline by David Aldridge, senior columnist for The Athletic.

David, good morning, Thank you for the time.

Thanks guys good to have you.

Good to be on.

Yeah, thanks for me and to have you.

So I'm a long-suffering Wizards fan and I a couple days ago I equated the Knicks plight over the last few years

close to Wizards-esque level I know they've made the playoffs a few times but they've

generally been a

disappointment for I'd say the last 20-ish 25 years but they've got it going now

with the two-nothing lead on the Pacers in the second round of the playoffs and I have to I'm reluctant

to agree with our producer drab t-shirt it is better when the nicks are actually good I

think for the nb-a as a whole it just brings another different energy to the Eastern Conference and to the

NBA playoffs when the Knicks are good.

Yeah, look I think look there's two things that they have to work for the NBA.

The big markets have to be good,

but then you have to have enough of your mid-markets

and smaller markets to be good as well.
