early in the season, the basketball regular season, which drags on too long like every other regular

season, you used a phrase. You said that the wins of a championship are at the Knicks back.

Yes. You said that several times. Yes. You can feel the wins of a championship at the back

of the New York Knicks. As we sit here today, because I haven't heard you say in a long time, March 18th, are the

wins still a blowing?

Yes.

As strong as they were in the beginning of the season?

They are because they're in the middle of a stretch of their season with 12 games to go where

they should win nine of these 12 games. That means nothing. They're beating up terrible teams. You know, but listen, last night for Josh Hart, that's a big night, even though it's a terrible team, it's a big night for him. He knows you can shoot. He can score. You know, there's a balance of the team, and I do think that there is a toughness to the players when the playoffs start. I really believe that. I believe that McHale Bridges is a winning player. I believe that Josh Hart is a winning player. He can't shoot right now, Bridges. Yeah, I understand that. And, you know, but he's going to hit big shots in the playoffs. I'm telling you. And I do like some of the pickups that they have. and I keep telling you that, you know, but he's going to hit big shots in the playoffs, I'm telling you. And I do like some of the pickups that they have.

And I just, I don't know, I feel like this is a team that has realistic expectations.

Now, look, they can run into an OKC team in the championship or, you know, they can run

to a really hot Detroit team in the Eastern Conference Championship.

Who knows what Jason Tatum's going to do to the Boston Celtics now that he's back in playing.

I mean, it's not going to be easy. I know that for a fact, but I do know that I'd like to see Boston and Detroit play each other before the Knicks had to play them. Yeah, that would be great. I tried to play the Cavaliers with Hardin. Yeah, I 100% could not agree more with that assessment. You know, I think that, and I'm trying to find the...

That would be in the second, what the second round of the playoffs.

I'm trying to find the latest of the odds for the Eastern Conference,

because it's been very up, they've been all over to place, the odds for the Eastern Conference

and who ends up winning the

conference to going to the NBA finals. So, yeah, right. Now the Knicks are ahead of the

Pistons. So, I mean, the Celtics are still plus 180. They are the favorites now. The Tatum is
