1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: As a member of the media, what is your perspective 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: around the Knicks at this point in the season, how 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: they've come together. Obviously there's new pieces, like where do 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: they stand relative to maybe where you thought they would? 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously you all are still working on 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: some chemistry things and learning tendencies. We talked about this 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 2: a little bit, but I feel like you guys are 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: better than I thought you'd be at this point. I mean, 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: it's a different team. When I was talking to Tips 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 2: about this, it's really like you're integrating three new starters 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: with OG two Kat of course mckel and you all 12 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: look really good. I think Kat is probably better than 13 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 2: people thought he was going to be right now. He's 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: having an MVP type of season and he's a much 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 2: different player than like a Hartenstein or Robinson. So it 16 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: was just what is this going to look like? And 17 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 2: I've been very pleasantly surprised by how good you are, 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: and I think that there's so many things that can 19 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: be better. We talked about this, Michel can be opened 20 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 2: up offensively even more. You could even tell that game 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: that I was at for Kat, he wasn't able to 22 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: shoot like he normally does, and he's just going to continue. 23 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 3: To get better and better. 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: So I think, y'all look could I don't know how 25 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: I felt about the trade initially. 26 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie, but I'm I'm on board. 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 4: I would say it's funny because I think it was, like, 28 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 4: you know, we haven't had like a good spill for 29 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 4: like the last like week and a half, but I 30 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 4: think it was like one point we were like twenty 31 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 4: five and ten, and I think as of right now, 32 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 4: I think we probably have like the fifth best record 33 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 4: in the league or like some like fourth best record league. 34 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 3: Something like that. 35 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 4: And obviously I'm on social media, like just chilling at 36 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 4: the house and all that, like sometimes like it really 37 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 4: doesn't feel like it, like we're like, oh, we almost 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 4: have thirty wins. I think, you know, we were on 39 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 4: pace to have like like fifty one fifty two. Last 40 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 4: year we had fifty and it's like at one point 41 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 4: I was like, dang we. I was like it was 42 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 4: after a loss. I'm like, I'm like, dang we still 43 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 4: like we we almost got thirty wins, Like we're like 44 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 4: twenty nine sixty okay, like we have a good record. 45 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you would never think that a team that 46 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: was going to have to try to gel differently in 47 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 2: so many ways. 48 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: Would be good right now in. 49 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: The ways that you all are did y'all if you're 50 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: being honest, you can be honest now because you're good. 51 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: Did you think you would be right now? 52 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 5: Yeah? 53 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. 54 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: It's good. 55 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 5: I think we would be a little. I think we're good. 56 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 5: I don't think it's yeah, I think how you think 57 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 5: we're good. I don't think we're there yet. 58 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: I mean this good just in terms of your record 59 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: understanding I thought would be good. 60 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, I feel like both of us can probably 61 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 4: sit there and be like their's like we're I don't 62 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 4: want to say we're happy because I don't want to 63 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 4: make it seem like we're content. I think we're like 64 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 4: plead with where we are. But I think we like 65 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 4: we're looking. I think we had like sixteen losses. I 66 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 4: think we can literally look at five or sixteen, but 67 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 4: like we should have won those, like those were like 68 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 4: very easily winnable games that we didn't execute. But I 69 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 4: think that mental like it's it's positive because it's like, Okay, 70 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: we we let some slip away, we're still really good 71 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: and we just have to continue to build off of it. 72 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: Because I'd also ask, you know, since we're doing really rumors, 73 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: you all, of course you beat the teams you're supposed to, 74 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: and it's like, you know, it's beating the teams that 75 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: people maybe think you're not supposed to beat. 76 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 5: That's why I might Yeah, yeah, I feel like we're good, 77 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 5: like I record size that, but I feel like we're 78 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 5: not where we want to be at, which is perfectly 79 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 5: fine it's January, yeah. 80 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: But does it feel like all those things are fixed 81 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: through chemistry, like through the playing together, through understanding each 82 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: other more. 83 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it's just you have to go 84 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 4: through it. I think that's the biggest thing. And there's 85 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 4: always like two ways to look at it, right, Like 86 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 4: we can sit there and be like, Okay, I mean, 87 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 4: I'm not sure how many games we have, you know, 88 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 4: we've played against like the top three or four teams 89 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 4: in the league. But let's say we were undefeated or 90 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 4: we were like five and oh, six and oh or 91 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 4: something like that. Like sometimes we can see that and 92 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 4: be like, oh, we're like we're there, like we're good, 93 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 4: and then you you kind of like start just banking 94 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 4: on that, like you know, something you know, we there's 95 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 4: some game that we should have won, some games that 96 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 4: we you know, that we struggled with. So it's like, Okay, 97 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 4: we've handled lot of business against the other teams. We 98 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 4: got to continue to get better and we got to 99 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 4: continue to work. So I think it's I'm not mad 100 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 4: about it because it changes that mentality that you have 101 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 4: to have. It's like we're not there yet, where you know, 102 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 4: you know, Conversely, we could sit there and be like, 103 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 4: oh we we had a great record, Oh we're we're 104 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: contenders a word this, word that, and then sometimes that 105 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: causes you to be complacent. 106 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: For sure. 107 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: I know you both said you're not there yet, Like 108 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: very specifically, what do you feel like or the tweaks 109 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: that you guys need to make to get there? Like 110 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: what's keeping you from being contenter right now? 111 00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: It's not the playoffs? 112 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 5: Think sorry, I feel like truly, I feel like it's 113 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 5: just we're too much of a roller coast right now. 114 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: Like if these great games, we look great, and we 115 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 5: have games that we're just like like what the hell 116 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 5: was that? So like I feel like we're still trending 117 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 5: in the right direction, like we're still going moving up, 118 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 5: but like it's highs and lows, highs and lows, and 119 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 5: we're still going in the right way. But I'm just like, 120 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 5: if you could just be more consistent, that'll make me 121 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 5: feel feel better and make us feel better. But like 122 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 5: I said, I'm happy where we're at, not because like. 123 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: It's like I have to I got to let out 124 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: a gripe here with what you just said and Matt 125 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 2: coming back on this game, I feel. 126 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: When athletes talk about consistency, Okay, listen, I get it. 127 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: Obviously you want to be consistent. You want to be 128 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 3: good all the time. 129 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: But he's saying, like what element has to be more consistent? 130 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: Consistency is like the easy thing to just we know 131 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: you want to be consistent. 132 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 5: No, I'll say this, like, I don't think it's like 133 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 5: like basketball is to making miss Misleague. Right. Obviously, we 134 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 5: want to make shots, right. Obviously there's excellent o's that 135 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 5: we can do right to make our team better, right, 136 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,559 Speaker 5: But I think more than anything, it's just our mind, 137 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 5: Like we got to come like we have to have 138 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 5: the mental like preparation and the mentality of being ready 139 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 5: to go every single day that this ship is not 140 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 5: a cake walk. So like, yeah, I wish. I guess 141 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 5: I was being around a bush, but like mentally, like 142 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 5: I don't care what the hell you do on when 143 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 5: this game day you're you're locked in, right, there's no 144 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 5: all the the stuff that he's been talking about. It 145 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 5: is like if we gotta have our egos outside out 146 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 5: the door and do all that all that, Like I agree, 147 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 5: like when it's game day, when no matter what is 148 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 5: going on, like you're here and you're locked in, right, 149 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 5: locked in every single day. I don't I don't care 150 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 5: what the heuse you do off the court, right, I 151 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 5: don't care what you do off the court, like he 152 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 5: doesn't like our routines are different, right, I Well, I 153 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 5: know I work harder than him in different ways, right right, 154 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 5: He's he works hard on wrestling recovery. I work hard 155 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 5: on the court. It's just well he needs that. But like, 156 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 5: whatever it takes for you to be ready to go 157 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 5: every single day right on game day, that's what we need, right. 158 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 5: I think the best teams know what they're capable of, right, 159 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 5: they know what they have to do to make sure 160 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 5: that they're ready on game day.
