Hello and welcome to another edition of the next film school pregame show.

0:16.6

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it's time to preview the next upcoming matchup on Saturday night.

0:23.1

What is sure to be an emotional one against the Toronto Raptors, the first time that we will see R.J. Barrett and Emmanuel quickly come to Madison Square Garden as visitors.

0:35.1

Although technically, RJ played at Duke and they played a game at the

0:40.9

garden. So if you want to be semantics about it, this is not RJ's first time coming as a visitor.

0:47.2

And I have actually no idea if Kentucky ever came to the garden when quickly was in college.

0:52.4

But regardless, as far as their pro careers are concerned,

0:55.7

a couple of fan favorites will be making their return to New York City on Saturday night.

1:00.0

And I'm very curious to see how this matchup goes from the starting lineups to the end of the

1:05.4

game. A game the Knicks should win. The Raptors are 16 and 26 and traded their two best

episode with Esparahini, my new favorite Raptors expert that we

1:30.1

have on any time we talk about the Raptors. So let's get into it. My conversation previewing this

1:34.8

matchup on Saturday with Mr. S. Barahini. Enjoy. We need to go to the number one source of

1:43.0

Toronto Raptors information that anybody would be lucky to get their information from.

1:49.2

And it's Mr. S. Barahini.

1:50.7

Welcome back to the show, sir.

1:52.5

And I must say to the Knicks fans that I know have reached out to me to say he was a great guest.

1:58.5

We love following him.
