All right, we're back.

Nick's Nets will play tomorrow, but today we'll chat with their head coach who joins us.

Kenny Ackinson is with us as the nets coming off a three-point loss to the Pistons.

We'll get the Knicks tomorrow night in Brooklyn.

Kenny, welcome.

How are you?

Mike, thanks for having me on again.

My pleasure.

Coach, how's everything?

How's life?

You know, not great after a loss, you know, and I told we fought and, you know, had a decent performance, but, you know, couldn't close it out. So these days are never easy, but, you know, like you said, we got another one, another one tomorrow against our rival. Hey, wins on a road. and ever easy, you know that. I mean, you know, and I'm sure I didn't, I didn't see the game last night. I did watch the Knicks, so I have to say in some baseball, but I didn't see your game. But it's, I'm sure, a new look piston team. And obviously they got a healthy Griffin, which is a factor last night, as I see. so he probably looked like his old self, I would say, right? Yeah, he was a beast. And, you know, him and Drummond and Reggie Jackson, they kind of got their own little big three there. You know, Drummond had, I think it was 24 points, 20 rebound. You know, they just just their physicality. And Griffin was really taking it to us in the post. And, you know, we had quite honestly a tough time rebound in the ball against those guys.

Not surprising. Not surprising at all. And that's a team that could be a little bit of a sleeper team this year, the Pistons.

You know that, especially if Griffin's 100%, you know?

I totally agree, Mike. I think Reggie Jackson's kind of the X factor. If he's healthy, I think they're going to surprise people in the East. I agree with you. How about, and the Knicks had a good opener, so they'll be ready for you tomorrow and how about your club, how you feel about things? You know, I know it's another year of development. I know it's another year to kind of move everything, move the program forward.

How do you feel about things? You know, I know it's another year at development. I know it's another year to kind of move everything, move the program forward. How do you feel about things? Yeah, you know,

I mean, early returns last night. I was pleased, you know, we had, you know, obviously a few guys
