00:00The title of our back page is New Year's Believe.
00:03What makes you and Knicks fans believe in the Knicks going into the new year?
00:09Let me tell you why I believe this team is a championship contender team
00:12and why I think this is the year they get over the hump
00:13and get to the NBA Finals, Brandon.
00:15With the depth that they have and the creativity of this head coaching staff,
00:19you got to just believe in what we're seeing right now.
00:21I mean, if you told me at the beginning of this season
00:23that you're going to get great minutes from Kolek,
00:26from Mohamed Diawara, from McCuller,
00:29I would have been like, hey, you're crazy.
00:31But look, they're doing it right now.
00:33So based on the depth, based on how Mike Brown is having these guys continue to grow,
00:37even from the starting standpoint,
00:39Jalen Brunson is still averaging the same numbers
00:42while touching the ball a second less than he did last season.
00:45So this team, man, it's on the up and up.
00:48I believe that this is the year that this team can really do it.
00:51I mean, look, look what they did against Cleveland, man, on Christmas Day.
00:54They came from being down in the fourth quarter to win.
00:57And that's championship material right there.
00:59And even when they against a lowly team like the Pelicans,
01:02you could say, hey, this team is not so great,
01:04but they still kept up with the fight to go win.
01:08And that's the same thing that this team has been preaching, man.
01:10This team is tough to kill.
01:11Eric Spolstra, coach of the Miami Heat, said this is a tough team to kill.
01:15And if it's a tough team to kill, that type of mentality can leak the championship.
01:18So that's what I believe in right now, Brandon.
01:21And I'll see you next time.
