Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of the Nix Film School pregame show.

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it is time for another Knicks preview this time on Monday night against

the Miami Heat. Happy St. Patty's Day. Of course, I'm wearing green to make sure that you do what you're

supposed to do on St. Patty's Day. Unfortunately, what the other thing you're supposed to do,

I'm not going to get to do because it's going to be watching the Knicks play against the Miami Heat tonight. But what the Knicks are going to get to do is play a

game at Madison Square Garden, something they haven't done in over 11 days. The West Coast trip is over.

Shout out to all of us that had to cover games on the West Coast over these last 10 days.

And I know I speak on everybody on behalf of Nix Film School.

And, of course, everybody in the NICS organization,

then it's just good to be home,

even though the NICs are back on the road tomorrow

when they head to San Antonio and then to Charlotte.

The NICs play the Miami Heat tonight.

And normally for a late March or a mid-March matchup against the Miami Heat, you might think

this is a matchup for playoff seating or they're fighting it out for a potential playoff

spot.

These are two contenders coming out the east.

But as you heard from John Carlo a couple weeks ago, and as we saw this weekend, because

Jimmy Butler is in Golden State, things are very different for the Miami Heat.

In fact, since the last time the Knicks played the Miami Heat, the Heat have not won a

basketball game.

They are in a very interesting spot that I don't normally find them.
