00:00Last season's dead and everybody needs to understand that this is a very different team

00:04You know one thing that's never played

00:05Well in New York is finesse with basketball as Patrick Ewing when he was getting crushed flicking jump shots

00:12Ask Allen Houston that was maybe the best shooter they ever had

00:15He was getting crushed

00:16the player that they brought in to take the Knicks from where they were to where we all want them to go is

00:22a finesse player who wants to flick five six seven threes at night who by the way is

00:28Also immensely get that there's no doubt

00:30Coral Anthony Towns

00:32Has never felt an ounce of pressure in his NBA career

00:37He probably felt more pressure at Kentucky than he did with the Minnesota Timberwolves who nobody cares about in

00:43Terms of the grand stage of the NBA Sal. I'm pumped up

00:47You know, I love the Knicks. I'm not trying to be that guy. You're right

00:50I got the old-school shooting jacket on but I'm watching everybody walk around that I'm listening to some of the

00:56conversations and there seems to be

00:58You know, and I understand hope but there seems to be an expectation. Ah, we're good

01:02We'll go next step conference finals 56 58 59 60 wins NBA Finals. Here we go

01:08Whoa, tap the brakes. The Knicks bench right now is not good

01:13The Knicks bench has injuries and the Knicks heart the heart from the team last year has changed

01:20Radically with Dave Vincenzo gone. I love this team. I'm rooting for him

01:25Do I see him as a champion today?

01:27I don't the game has changed though to a point where it is a finesse league and

01:33While I don't love it and they still have an old-school coach who's gonna teach them defense with Anna Noby Bridges

01:38We obviously good defensive players. All right, corn Anthony Towns is a big who's not gonna be a physical beast

01:44He's gonna be a guy that's gonna knock down threes, which was to me

01:48Exactly what they needed a big who could stretch the floor when I look at this next team now

01:52I know they gotta play the games on the floor and it's not played on paper

01:55But it all fits together. Well, they have the superstar in Brunson. They have the other pieces, you know bridges again at a no beat

02:01We have all those Josh Hart and what he brings and call Anthony Towns was the final piece the perfect piece to this puzzle
