00:00Do you feel like you know what this team's true identity is right now?
00:04And if not, or if you do, where do you still think they need to improve?
00:08I think we're still figuring it out.
00:10I think, you know, offensively, they want to penetrate the paint.
00:14They want to either score or kick it out for three.
00:16I think you look at their offenses back to being ranked third in the league.
00:20They're an offense first team, and I think that's okay as the core part of their identity
00:25because when your two best players are Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns,
00:29two kind of offensive first players, I think that's fine.
00:33I think the more interesting part for me is continuing to figure out
00:37what is their defensive identity.
00:39You know, they've given up a lot of threes this year,
00:41which is okay if you're going to take some other stuff away,
00:45and I think that's the part where we're still figuring out
00:48what is it that they are going to do, you know, on the positive end
00:51if they're going to give up a lot of threes.
00:53Are they going to generate a lot of turnovers?
00:54Are they going to wall off the paint and make sure teams don't score at the rim?
00:58Until we get that last piece of it, you know,
01:01I think it's definitely a wait and see for me where, you know,
01:05the Knicks are concerned.
01:05But it's only 17 games, so that's fine.
