Hello and welcome to another edition of the Knicks Film School Pregame show.

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it's time to preview the Knicks upcoming matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers and not talk about the lead-up to the NBA trade deadline.

For those you missed it, where have you been and why are you only tuning into the pregame pod that you ended up missing what happened with the next the past couple days? Cam is gone. So is Ryan Arjadioch,

and Savim Akiluk. But Josh Hart is en route to New York. The Villanova product, Jalen Brunson's

former teammate, is on his way to the Big Apple. I doubt he's going to play in this game, so you'll probably still see the same

nine-man rotation, eight of which helped beat the Sixers six days ago on Sunday against

the Knicks at the Garden.

And joining me in just a second to break it all down is Austin Krell.

He works for the painted line.

He covers the Sixers for them. It's a USA Today publication. He also hosts a podcast called The Feed to Embed. I love these podcast names that I'm finding throughout the NBA verse,

podverse, I should say.

So he's going to come on in just a second.

And he went to Villanova, so there was an obvious connection I went to right away.

It didn't change the fact that the conversation and went in directions that I was not prepared to go, like the fact that he was high school teammates with Cam Reddish, which obviously demanded

some follow-up questions and how he experienced the last couple years of his old high school

teammate and what happened in New York. But I think you're going to enjoy this conversation.

Austin was great. And I hope, I'm glad he had a good time on the pot.

I hope he had a good time on the pot.

I hope this is the first loss that Philadelphia gets this weekend.

Whether or not I hedge my Eagles plus or minus two and a half bet on Sunday is another

story.

So as far as the basketball is concerned,
