What's up, Nick's Film School listeners? It's Jerry Ferraro. I've got a new podcast called

Throwbacks with Heisman Trophy winner Matt Liner, where we will be talking about all things sports,

all things pop culture, and all things about our lives. From football locker rooms to Hollywood

green rooms, we've got you covered. We're your weekly destination for the games you want to hear about and the stories you won't forget.

Listen to throwbacks on Apple Podcasts or Spotify with new episodes every Thursday. Hello, everybody, and welcome to the return of the Knicks Film School pregame show.

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it is time to preview the Knicks next upcoming matchup.

Apologies that we didn't do any during the preseason.

You can blame the fact that I don't care about the preseason and the fact that my baseball

team decided that they wanted to extend their season significantly longer than I thought

they would.

But with the Mets now eliminated and as far as I'm concerned,

baseball over for the rest of the year, it's time to talk about the Knicks. And what a first

matchup to preview. We are watching the Knicks go to Ring Night. Hopefully, they get one for

themselves in the Dachidistan future, but they will head to Boston to play at an arena that I will not be acknowledging as the garden,

but an arena in Boston with the letters T and D over it that will feature the Celtics getting their rings for winning the 2025 NBA championship.

And the Knicks will take on the Boston Celtics on the first game and the first moments of the 24-25 NBA season.

And you know where I had to go to preview this matchup and to welcome on for my first guest.

It's the guy I welcomed Don to be my first guest for last season as well.

Something about New York versus Boston.

Joining me from the How About Them Celtics podcast as well as Celtics blogs and a bunch of other publications as well. Mr. Jack Simone. Jack, how's your summer? How are you doing, my friend? I'm great. I'm doing great. Happy to be back. I was kind of sitting here in like the month leading up to the season. Like, am I going to get the text? Am I going to get the call? Am I going to get to be on the pregame show again? You're interested in this time. You know what? I also like, I might take you for granted because I was like, of course I'm going to ask Jack. Always. Always. I was, I just, it was taking my time. As you heard in the beginning, I didn't care about the preseason.

So I figure,

my time. As you heard in the beginning, I didn't care about the preseason. So I figure, my process is four or five days out. I give people like a week's notice. Perfect. And then like I have the next three booked, you know, like I'm already started looking next week. I had completely forgotten that the Knicks play the Miami Heat
