00:00what's up everybody welcome back to another edition of new york got game hopefully you
00:20had yourselves a wonderful christmas wonderful hanukkah happy holidays to everyone but it is
00:26about to be another new year we are approaching the start of 2026 and the knicks they find themselves
00:32back in the middle of expectations questions and pressure some things with the knicks feel pretty
00:39familiar we've got the grittiness we've got the resiliency that we've seen late in games
00:44jaylen brunson coming up in the clutch but then some other things feel really different so this
00:51week on new york got game we're going to ask the question that knicks fans definitely always ask
00:56at this time late in the year and heading into the new year which is as the calendar turns will this
01:02really be a new year new knickerbocker team that is the question are we going to see that we're going
01:09to look at what's real right what still needs fixing with this next team and what does this team have
01:14to become in 2026 if they're going to be just more than another same chapter in the story of the new
01:21york knicks and obviously people want to see the story finish with them winning a championship so we're
01:25going to look into all of that on this episode so let's not waste any time let's get right into it
01:31all right so we're going to get into it and look at what is going to be up with the knicks for the new
01:37year and to do that i've got my guy joining me perfect person to talk with this about he is the
01:43founder of knicks fan tv also host there you see him on many different places host of the nba report
01:48as well doing a fantastic job there it's my guy cp the franchise cp what's going on man how you doing
01:54dex always a pleasure to be on with you man happy sunday yeah man happy to you great to start a new
02:00week uh hopefully you had a great holiday great christmas we're going to talk about the new year
02:04and all this stuff for the knicks and hopefully a blessed new year to you as well but cp let's start
02:09with this i want to do a little bit of a i'll call it a resolution check for the
02:13knicks we're going to diagnose you know what changes must be made what maybe needs some time
02:18with this team which you know sometimes people don't have patience but when you strip away the
02:23emotions and you look at everything here with the knicks what's the single biggest thing that you
02:28think this team needs to resolve if they're serious about contending in 2026 well i think you've seen a
02:35lot of positive signs across the board with this roster from uh the the unsung contributors right
02:41the colex kevin mccullers is stepping up now to the offense how it's clicking and seemingly clicking
02:46on all cylinders on their brand new system and a rotation that that has been in flux with guys being
02:52in and out due to injury and so to see where they are right now their overall standing and then
02:58offensively they look like a great team with a long way to go so that's a very positive sign
03:03now as it relates to what they need to work on it's no question it's their defense they need to
03:08reach that level of being able to play championship caliber defense and it doesn't need mean to be
03:13need to be top three elite but they do need to find those right combinations the right rotations
03:19to ensure that they are also getting timely stops one of the things that's been a carryover from the
03:24tom thibodeau era and been even worse this year is a three-point defense from the amount of attempts
03:30that they give up especially from the corners to the to their opponents at three-point efficiency
03:35and so it's not clear whether or not it's a schematic issue do they need to close out harder
03:41is it a personnel issue why this has kind of been a recurring theme even when tom thibodeau was coach
03:47of this team something to look at but very interesting given the fact that they do have two very talented
03:53wings in pitt mccall bridges and og and ob so the three-point defenses is one part of the defense that
03:59needs to improve their turnover percentage even though they have those guys who are very excellent
04:06players in terms of rank ranking those stocks the steals and the blocks i think as a team it would
04:12help if you had more ball hawks defensively and i think that will improve once they get guys like
04:18miles mcbride landry sham it back and as a result of the other guys in the deeper end of the of the
04:24roster that have been playing and contributing well i think it'll allow those guys to put more pressure on
04:28the ball and take more risks as it relates to trying to turn teams over but overall i think
04:34that will certainly help the defense so i love that you talked about defense there you know some people
04:38i think that criticize this are going to look at this and say well you know can the mix be that good
04:43of a defensive team when your best offensive players jalen brunson crompty towns are not known as
04:48good defenders cp i've been saying all along i think this team needs to get into the top eight to ten
04:54in terms of defensive rating i think they can get there do you think they can get there do they have the
04:58personnel to be that good defensively well they have no choice they have to if they want to win
05:04a championship now is it do they have personnel i think if that'll be determined once we see this
05:09squad really at full strength we have not really seen that for a large sample yet this season and
05:14then also what they do with the trade deadline will they be able to get lucky pull a rabbit out of the
05:19hat by using the abaceli contract to get more winning depth or more front court depth i think that
05:24ultimately determine just how good this defense can be but as i mentioned with the three-point
05:29defense that needs to be improved uh the turnover percentage can be improved a little bit they're
05:34about middle of the pack they're about average but that can be improved just based on some of the other
05:38personnel that they have but their transition defense decks that has also gotten worse carried
05:45over from the tom thibodeau era they are giving up way more damage in transition than they were last year
05:52and i think part of that is them not matching up not matching up personnel in transition
05:57their shot selection at times for example like when a carl anthony towns hits the deck or you have a guy
06:04taking a uncharacteristically bad shot it puts their defense automatically in a scramble even on
06:11makes decks they are giving up points in transition so that has got to be cut down no matter who's out
06:19there on the floor um but so you know that's certainly a concern because like i said even on
06:24makes when they're giving up points in transition that's not a good sign for your defense i think if
06:29they shore up those three things they can get crack that top 10 all right got to shore up those things
06:35if they're going to crack the top 10 i would agree with you 100 here defense has to be better that's
06:40got to change in the new year we'll see if that happens in 2026 okay so moving on i want to do a
06:45little different bit thing in this segment here and i'm going to call it keep it or leave it in
06:492025 so cp when when you look at this could you share with me one thing you think the team should
06:55keep that worked well from them this year in 2025 as we approach the new year and one thing they
07:01absolutely need to leave behind it could be a thing it could be something they do it could be a
07:05player what do you need to leave behind in 2025 not bringing to 2026 and what do you need to keep
07:10from 2025 well one thing easily that they need to keep is tyler colic's rotation minutes
07:16even though he's come in with guys primarily being hurt like he got started to get his opportunity
07:21starting the season with josh hart was out and then once landry shaman and deuce mcbride started
07:26missing games from that uh from the november 22nd game in orlando tyler colic has really seized
07:31his opportunity but in those minutes you're seeing the next offense be a bit more versatile by adding
07:37another playmaker alongside jaylen brunson that's helped his three-point aggressiveness or overall
07:43just aggressiveness in terms of being a scoring threat has taken his game to new heights but also
07:48dex his defense has been commendable i mean let's look no further than saturday night's win against
07:53the atlanta hawks who was in there in defense all defense offense substitutions but tyler colic in
08:00in replacement of jaylen brunson i couldn't believe what i saw i couldn't believe it either
08:06that just shows you the development the maturity in his game the trust that mike brown has in his game
08:13when he's out there as another playmaker his ability to find guys throw guys open from mccall bridges the
08:19chemistry mccall bridges is great we saw a thread the needle pick and roll situation with carl anthony
08:25towns i'm sure you can do the same with mitcher robinson and get those guys some easier looks
08:30so tyler colic's rotation minutes absolutely have to stay all right so tyler colic's rotation minutes
08:35absolutely have to stay i think a lot of people agree with that and then there's a whole thing
08:38you can get into and the fact of do the knicks even to look need to look in the trade market for
08:43a backup point guard because tyler colic right now is looking like that backup point guard what has to
08:49go from 2025 and not coming to 2026 cp what do you have there well unfortunately for for their
08:56taxpayer mid-level acquisition their prize acquisition over the summer kershaw niabasele
09:01just has not been working out for this team as you see he's been locking dmp's now so you can
09:06see his way that he's made his way out of this rotation from whether or not you want to say he's
09:12in shape or not you know i'll leave that to the nutritionist but overall his defense has lapsed and
09:18offensively he's just not an efficient player in the limited minutes that he's getting and so that's
09:22why you see him on the outside look again as i said at the top of the show if leon rose can strike
09:28lightning in a bottle and find someone to take on that contract do they have to put a second round
09:34pick on top of that potentially but if they're able to swap a disgruntled player for a disgruntled
09:40player and and maybe that change of scenery helps their new acquisition is it a wing player is it another
09:46backup center i think that'll help the knicks as they look forward to the second half of the season
09:51and beyond i had a feeling you might say gershon yabasele he's been yeah as you mentioned out of
09:56the rotation uh a lot of knicks fans already have him traded they want to pack his bags and get him
10:01up out of here it just hasn't been a good fit that's no shade to him as you said it just hasn't
10:05been a good fit at all do you have a preference of if you could move him and you had to attach a
10:11second round pick or maybe two to him in order to move him do you have a preference in the kind of
10:15player you'd want to come back for gershon yabasele that can help this knicks team
10:19wing depth is where i'm leaning on now as you see with josh hart out with the ankle injury you
10:25never know what can happen with og and and ob and the knicks have been very fortunate that
10:29mccall bridges is able to maintain his iron man streak but just someone who can come in and guard
10:34twos threes maybe even some fours and and spell wing stop they're doing a great job and hey maybe
10:40they it's already been proven from within with how muhammad diawara has been playing as of late
10:45that's certainly an option but you can never to me just like they say you can never have enough
10:50pitching in baseball you can never have enough wing depth to me in the in basketball especially
10:54in this apron era where your depth is going to be valued and important as you continue through the
11:00playoffs so finding that guy not going to be easy because a lot of teams value that archetype
11:05but i think that's that's a position where the knicks can look to add the balls to their bench
11:09all right wing depth tyler kolex minutes keep that going into 2026 gershon yabuselli minutes or i
11:15should say lack of minutes get that out of here uh going into 2026 all right moving on i want you to
11:21give me if you can cp one word for the knicks in 2026 if you had to define the knicks path going forward
11:28in the new year in one word what would that be and why i'd say east meaning take the east and win the east
11:37because there's no bigger opportunity than now for this team the way that they are loaded from
11:44top to bottom as it seems right now uh their stars are playing you know jalen brunson playing at
11:51and even bet it's probably this is probably his best season hasn't it and that's saying a lot
11:55because he's been fantastic for this team since he's gotten here so tremendous what jalen brunson is
12:01doing and that's almost a a sub story to everything else that has been good for the knicks but
12:06there's no bigger time than now and it's not to overlook any of the other teams that are in the
12:11east the clevelands the detroit take give credit to the boston celtics jalen brown is leading that team
12:16putting that team on his back without jason tatum and the the rest of the supporting cast from last
12:22year that that made that team so strong but to me i don't see a team that can consistently
12:29be an issue for the knicks come playoff time i think the knicks have what it takes to win the east
12:36to take the east and come going forward that is my definition of success as i look at the second half
12:42taking the east and representing the east in the in the nba finals all right cp's one word here is
12:48east take the east should get to the nba finals i would happen to agree with that with you on that i
12:54think the knicks are in a great position to do that now look you got to stay healthy you got to
12:59have a little bit of luck on some of those things around the way hopefully when you know that's the
13:02thing can you stay healthy through three rounds to get to the nba finals and play the best basketball
13:08that you can it's a great opportunity it's one i think a lot of knicks fans out there don't want
13:12to see them blow so we'll see if they can do it uh right now they're playing very good basketball
13:16at the time of us recording this with two more games left in 2025 all right for the next segment
13:21i want to talk about pressure because when you talk about what you just said cp and you talk about
13:26the word east is your one word that'll define them going forward and the expectations that were coming
13:31into this year and now you got to think those expectations have only grown with the way the
13:35knicks have played coming off of the nba cup championship and all of that stuff they're off this
13:40good start we're getting near close already to the halfway point of the season so as we head deeper
13:45into the season cp who on or around this next team do you think feels the most pressure and why would
13:54you say it is who's feeling the most pressure around the knicks right now i think it's carl anthony towns
13:59for one coming into the season when he made the comment about not understanding his role in the mike
14:05brown system and you know there was debate about whether how serious was he was he just being tongue
14:10and cheek and then there was an admittance from mike brown that yes he is having a challenge
14:16this he is playing the toughest role in this offense and in this system and for carl anthony towns whether
14:22you want to call him a 1-8 or 1-b to jalen brunson he has to deliver for this team to to win the
14:28championship yes we can talk about how good he is at using his gravity to make this team better at
14:34playmaking for his team at you know causing the defense to shift all of those are great
14:40things but in crunch time and money time you can rely on jalen brunson to to get put the team in
14:47the best position to win but the question is will carl anthony towns be there to deliver in those big
14:52spots we can point to the success that he had in detroit we can point to the success that he had
14:58winning that game in game three against indiana when the knicks were looking down the barrel of a
15:03potential sweep he he had he had delivered in those moments but you you want to see that he can do that
15:09consistently they're going to need both brunson and towns to to achieve this and a lot of it to me
15:17dex is going to rely on his decision making and his outlook we saw a fantastic approach from carl
15:22anthony towns in their win over the hawks he saw where this hawks team had no rim protection had no
15:29paint presence and every single guy they threw at him he was a monster 18 free throw attempts that is
15:36what you want to see from carl anthony towns and yes the three-point efficiency has gone up and it
15:41has improved but then on the other side you see a guy who leads the league in offensive fouls so
15:47yeah that's right that's what i was hoping you got to cp yeah those are turnovers those are
15:53turnovers right and so he's got to work on that better decisions with the bowl i think is going to
15:59ultimately determine how far this nick team can go and that's by with carl anthony towns yeah i'm so glad
16:04you said that because i think when people say okay they hear him say you have the most pressure
16:08he has the most pressure in carl anthony towns they'll think about okay i want to see big games
16:12from towns i want to see offensive games like we saw against atlanta on saturday night but for me
16:17when i look at it it's that last photo what you said it's not picking up the stupid fouls it's not
16:22having the offensive fouls you know my colleague stephan bondy just wrote a great article about towns
16:26being aware of this and i've been in the locker room i've heard towns say this i need to cut down
16:30these stupid fouls you know mike brown has said it that to me is going to be the biggest sign of
16:36maturity for him it's the being able to stay on the floor it's one part is what you said i agree
16:40when you have a team like atlanta and you got smaller guys on you you have to be able to take
16:45advantage of that now did he do a great job on the defensive end in that game against okongu no he gave
16:52him too much space gave up a lot of threes i thought that was suspect too but he's got to stay on the
16:56floor cp and be available for the knicks in in playoff time and and how much of that for you
17:02just so you can expound on this a little bit how much of that for you is yo him showing up on the
17:06defensive end and i do want to give cat some credit because he has shown that he can hold up and it's
17:11been okay on the defensive end especially during that nba cup run but it's not always consistent
17:16right that's that's the thing yeah he has those lapses but i just feel like when they get to you know
17:24that first round second round and beyond and when the stakes you know present themselves as they're
17:30right there they need 16 dubs to get it done i think he will you know when when it's when it's all said
17:36and done i think he will lock in now to to defend those floor spacing bigs whether it was a porzingis
17:41last year during the regular season or now okongu who's really improved in that regard give him a lot
17:46of credit you know will they see that type in the playoffs you think about a cleveland hey maybe it's uh
17:53maybe it's in orlando with a wendell carter jr or paulo boncaro so they're there they are there
17:59they will be there with some of the guys that the knicks are going to have to contend with so
18:02that's on mike brown and that's on carl anthony towns to make sure that when he is out there
18:07if they're not going to play the double big that he can hold it down at rim protection wise at the
18:11rim he's been fine but on the perimeter is where it can get dicey because he does not have the foot
18:17speed he doesn't turn his hips as well and and also whether he's in the drops or not he's kind of on in
18:23that in between in terms of should i be back a little bit to make sure that this guy doesn't
18:27get past me or do i need to step out and close out uh better on the three-point uh opportunities
18:33it's tough tough positions for him defensively it is a tough position for him defensively i do think
18:38he looks better knowing that he's not sitting in drop coverage the way he had to uh under tibbs he
18:43looks a little bit more comfortable but like you said it's still a work in progress of cat okay so
18:49carl anthony towns is your player a person around the knicks who has the most pressure heading into
18:53the new year of 2026 last thing for me here cp let's let's close by we'll look ahead a little
18:59bit right let's go to the end of the season let's say by the end of the season what has to be true
19:05for all of us media content creator fans out there to say yeah this year 2026 was really a new year
19:14for the knicks because look cp you've been watching knicks for a long time i've been watching
19:17knicks for a long time and you'll hear from people man it's the same old knicks now i don't think they
19:22should get the same old jets treatment like the jets because the jets are the jets but you'll hear
19:27this sometimes about the knicks so i think that with all the pressure that we're talking about
19:30with everything that's riding on this season what's what's got to be true for you to say okay
19:35new year new knicks 2026 is different winning the east and in a way that
19:43obviously as you get further in the process of the playoffs it's gonna get harder it should get
19:49harder it is the playoffs but last year you look at the detroit series for example that was a struggle
19:55and i think that had give credit to detroit they're a tough physical team they're a good defensive team
20:02and that it was known going into that series that it was going to be a grind but just to see the
20:07knicks searching in the way that they were searching for offense i think it took a toll on them and then
20:13they went into boston and another total so i thought by the time they got to indiana they were a bit of
20:18a worn down team and then they had to literally run the indy 500 against that team so i thought that
20:23was tough but for the knicks winning the east but in convincing fashion from the first round into the
20:31second round that would be led by their two stars in in jaylen bruns and carl anthony towns but also in
20:37how mike brown manages that depth those deeper end rotation players the colics the dor or some
20:44will they have an opportunity to assert themselves in these games and and help these this team in in
20:50those marginal minutes i think it's going to take a full squad effort here to get it done and that is
20:56where you're truly going to evaluate mike brown everything is great now the honeymoon period is
21:00fantastic it's all roses and rainbows right now but if they don't get there to me when that's what he
21:06was brought here for and they finished two games shy of that mark and as i mentioned the east is
21:12theirs for the taking to me it'd be a colossal disappointment if they don't reach the nba finals
21:16so you brought up something there we were talking about this a little bit before we started recording
21:21you talked about just looking at last year and you know how worn out the team looked by the time
21:26they got to the conference finals uh against the pacers and i agree with you about the honeymoon
21:31phase of mike brown although i'm a big fan of how he's been managing this team
21:35right now i love it i love him giving the opportunities to younger players this is no shade
21:40to tips but where are you on the way mike brown is managing the team and you kind of alluded to it
21:45just there in your answer do you really believe that'll pay dividends for this team down the road
21:50when it matters as you just said in the playoffs this is where mike brown's going to be judged
21:54the way he's managing the team now playing a little bit deeper possibly being able to go 10 11 deep in
21:59the playoffs possibly do you think that'll benefit this nick team in being able to take advantage of
22:05what you said and they need to get to the finals do you think that'll help them of course yeah for
22:11sure for sure and especially like when i look at a guy like a colic i look at his season right now
22:16and the opportunities that he's getting as i want to see how he's able to handle better teams and
22:23pressure cooking situations christmas day was a prime example you have the calves who right now is
22:29struggling but improving last year they were number one in the east christmas state national tv game
22:34you're down by 18 points and i thought he passed that test tremendously uh he he went up against
22:41the timbers he got to start against the timbers going up against mike conley and dante di vincenzo
22:46a little bit more of a struggle but i think that's all part of the learning process that could
22:51ultimately help these guys come through for this team once they get to the postseason because they will
22:57have established chemistry with their guys understand what the coach needs from them
23:02and then you hope that they're able to translate that in in in meaningful minutes so for brown i think
23:09there's a a positive to all the injuries the injuries have been unfortunate but the positive from this is that
23:16it's forced him to get a longer look at a tyler colic a muhammad diwar kevin mcculler jr at times
23:24the aerial huck party when mitchell robinson doesn't play on the second night of back-to-backs or
23:29if the nick biggs are in foul trouble so i think all of these minutes and all of these moments for
23:34these young guys and for mike brown um will pay dividends for this team and when when it really
23:39matters and that's in the playoffs yeah i i think it's huge i think it's one of the biggest things we
23:44have to watch in 2026 i think i really do how this team is managed we've seen what mike brown's done
23:50early on but cp how they do it how he does it down the stretch of the season is going to be
23:54very interesting and watching who grows or who doesn't grow over these next couple of months
23:58before they get to the playoffs it's going to be huge to see so we'll see how it is 2026 right
24:04around the corner cp know you had a good holiday thank you for rocking here with me on this episode
24:10of new york got game want to wish you your family happy new year much blessings to the kftv crew
24:16in 2026 appreciate you brother thank you likewise man any any time dex thanks again for having me
24:23anytime okay so final episode of 2025 we're going to put a bow on the 2025 portion of this next season
24:32and look ahead to 2026 as we did on this episode special thanks to my guest cp the franchise of
24:38knicks fan tv but i want to talk a little bit more about what i think is the biggest revelation
24:42of 2025 and all the changes the knicks made as they go into 2026 and i talked about it a little
24:49bit with cp at the end of our conversation and that is mike brown and how he is managing this
24:55next rotation now look the change to bring mike brown in a head coach and remove tom thibodeau
25:01in the summer was polarizing among next nation there were even folks in the media who i've discussed
25:08it with that didn't think this was the right move maybe some people thought it wasn't fair the
25:11thibodeau didn't deserve it but i always like to say deserve sometimes because the guy has nothing
25:15to do with it i think what you've been seeing a little bit of in this regular season thus far the
25:222025 portion of it is that mike brown is malleable and this is something you've seen that's a real big
25:29word with him malleable adaptable whatever you want to say he's not rigid and sticking to one thing
25:36he's willing to try out different rotations he's willing to see things that work he's willing to
25:40go with different roster combinations even ones that i thought weren't going to work i didn't think
25:46the knicks would get good minutes out of seeing brunson tyler kolek and jordan clarkson on the
25:50floor but we've seen that work where three ball handlers have helped him now is it going to work
25:54against every team probably not can it work against some teams yes but the fact that he's willing to
25:59experiment and try the fact that he's willing to go with hot hands the fact that it appears like he's
26:03looking at what is going on in practice and who can produce for him like we saw with kevin mcculler jr
26:08getting minutes against atlanta the other night even when josh hart is down yes injuries have helped
26:14with some of that because we saw mike brown experiment a lot in the beginning of the season
26:18then he shortened his rotation now he's expanded back open a little bit but as cp was saying and i
26:23agree with him so much on this is that these are things that can help these players grow it also helps
26:29the organization learn what they have and they do not have on these players i think the knicks over the
26:34last five to six years probably have not gotten enough credit in my opinion for the development
26:39of young talent right we've seen that with aduce mcgrine and what he's turned into we've seen it
26:44now at least feels like we're starting to do you need to see more but it feels like we're starting
26:48to see it with tyler kolek we've seen this with mitchell robinson even players that are no longer here
26:53rj barrett and emmanuel quickly they did develop and get got themselves to have some trade value
26:58which were able to help the knicks but the thing we didn't really ever see was sometimes how extended
27:05could that rotation be now i've long been a proponent especially in this era the second apron
27:10era of the nba depth is so valuable right and sometimes it's not just about going out and acquiring
27:17depth because that's really hard because as cp noted when we talked about it wing depth will be nice
27:23but teams value two-way wings that is so valuable in this league teams value having a good backup
27:29point guard a good backup big all that stuff right you need on your team and sometimes you can find
27:36that depth internally if you develop and i think that's very underrated knicks might be finding that
27:41out right now with tyler kolek they might be finding it out with muhammad diawara and some other players
27:46and if they can get these guys to be comfortable to know their roles to understand
27:52if they're placed in certain situations if somebody goes down that they have the ability
27:56to stay ready and then produce that can be huge for the knicks going into 2026 i think the biggest
28:03revelation of 2025 has been the malleability and adaptability of mike brown and his willingness
28:08to empower players to be better particularly the young players on this roster and then you also have
28:13to credit the veterans too for helping these young players but if the knicks are able to play a little
28:18bit deeper and they're able to get things out of the young players then you can see them make the
28:23kind of deep run that many fans envision you have to look no further than the nba champions of last
28:29year at oklahoma city thunder right they're a team you'll talk to me about how they've drafted well and
28:34you know they empower their players but they do that they were able to play 10 11 deep the pacers
28:39the other finalists from last year they were playing 10 11 deep in the playoffs you don't want your
28:44players to be worn out and how you don't get your players to be worn out is empowering the younger
28:49players at the end of the bench putting them in situations like mike brown is doing so listen i
28:54know it's early i know we've only seen the 2025 portion of this knickerbocker team and there's a
29:00long way to go between now and the playoffs and the playoffs is absolutely when mike brown and this
29:06next roster will be judged but in the meantime in the regular season you got to find some things out
29:12and right now mike brown is finding those things out we're starting to see possibly some of the
29:19fruits of the labor of guys like a tyler kolek and others down the road now i don't know if everybody's
29:25going to hit i don't know if it's all going to work but i like the fact that mike brown is trying
29:30and you're seeing it and you're getting to see what development can look like and i think if you're a
29:34fan going into 2026 you can at least be a little bit excited about that but hey 2025 it's been a good
29:44one for the knicks you got to see them go to the eastern conference finals they were two wins short
29:48of the finals and now they've started off this year really strong and they're sitting at second in the
29:53east and it looks like they're rising and they have some big games coming up to start off 2026 it
29:58should be fun we've had fun covering the knicks here on new york got game here in 2025 we expect
