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

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it's time to preview another Knicks matchup this time on Monday night

against the Detroit Pistons.

We had a fun time against all these teams that will be making the playoffs and potentially

be playing the Knicks in this upcoming April tournament that we're all hoping the Knicks

are healthy for.

And as much as I want to say, we get a reprieve against the 8 and 48 Detroit Pistons.

We have seen the Knicks not only played down to opponents in the past, but recently

we've seen the Detroit Pistons put scares into some teams.

In fact, we're recording this less than 24 hours after the Pistons gave the Orlando Magic

who are 3-0 against the Knicks this year, a bit of a scare.

So we'll see how the Knicks do against Evan Fornier and Quentin Grimes and a couple of

former Knicks coming into the Garden on Monday night.

And joining me to talk about this matchup and preview this game from the

Detroit Free Press and co-host of the Pistons Pulse podcast, Mr. Omari Sankofa. Omari, thank you

for joining me today.

Andrew, thank you so much for having me on.

So let's start here.

The trade that happened, but a little over two weeks ago, I guess three weeks ago,

that sent Bogie and Alec Berks to the New York Knicks for Quentin Grimes, Evan Fornier,

and Ryan Archdeiakino and I believe a couple of second round picks.

What was the mood in the locker room?
