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

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC.

And it is time to preview another next matchup this time on Saturday night against the Golden

State Warriors down in the Bay Area,

specifically San Francisco.

I've been told I need to specify when I say the Bay Area because of the whole San

Francisco Oakland thing.

Regardless,

the Knicks come in off a thrilling eventful day, a thrilling Knicks win on Wednesday night into Thursday morning against the

Portland Trailblazers. McCall Bridges at the buzzer, one of the only buzzer beaters, one of

the, I think nine buzzer beaters is what we nailed on that the Knicks have had this century.

And they played this Warriors team. My God, they played the Warriors last Tuesday. And the Warriors were rolling at the time after the addition of Jimmy Butler. Well, that role continues on and is only getting stronger.

So when I talked last time about the Warriors, I believe they were six and two

with Jimmy Butler, maybe seven and two with Jimmy Butler. Well, they're now 13 and two. They haven't

lost since trading for, since that game, at least I should say. So over the stretch that we're talking

about with the Knicks and the, excuse me, what the Warriors have done is since Jimmy Butler. It's a 15 game sample. They're 13 and 2. The only team with a better

record over their last 15 games in the Warriors is the Cavs who are 15 and oh. So only an

undefeated team who continues to have 12 to 13 game winning streets is better than the Warriors

over this stretch.

During this time span, the Warriors are third in offense, third in defense, second in net rating.

First and assist percentage, they're usually top three or four in the assist percentage.

But the amazing thing about this Warriors team is the possession battle.
