🕵️♂️ Transcript:
for the association let’s get it the Knicks lost by 15 to the Mavs last night despite Dallas being down three starters including Luca donic and Klay Thompson Stephen A what are your thoughts on your Knicks right now well how can it be anything but disappointed considering what you just highlighted Luca doni uh Klay Thompson and Daniel Gafford is out and and you still ramrod the Knicks the way that you did Nicks Couldn’t Shoot the ball in the ocean in the first half yesterday they shot just 26% from the field I know that Carl Anthony towns and Jaylen Brunson ended up with their numbers but they were far from efficient and OG anobi just after dro the 40 against Denver uh Monday night shows up and stinks up the joint with three of 15 shooting last night so that wasn’t good in the end there’s levels to this and the Dallas Mavericks with Kyrie Irving showed that they are on a different level the Knicks got to get it together Minnesota isn’t the only team struggling since the trade the Knicks are 24th in defensive efficiency field goal percentage defense did 22nd threo percentage defense did 27th I don’t know those numbers when it comes to a Tom Fido team defense is his Wizardry I don’t understand it they got to get it together but I believe they ultimately will yeah they will Stephen A let’s stay in the East Trey young had a career high 22 assists to go along with 20 points as the Hawks handed the Cavs just their second loss of the Season how impressed are you by Trey well you got to be impressed the man had 22 assists last night and so you got to give respect where respect is due to kick and shoot he can play he can pass we all know this I was pretty shocked they beat Cleveland in Cleveland I didn’t anticipate that but you know with Trey young leading the league with 12 and a half six per game this season um you got to give credit what credit is due he is shooting a career low 38% from the field though he’s got to get that together that’s just volume shooting he’s got to elevate his level of efficiency the Cavaliers F fell to 17- two lost for the first time in in in 11 home games they’ve been impressive this year ainson really has them playing good basketball and I think that they’re going to have a say in e conference Supremacy when all is said and done still look out for the Cavs but last night obviously the the hawk showed you what they’re capable of On Any Given night particularly when Trey plays that way let’s go out west now where LeBron showed you AJ nothing but a number the Lakers sna their three-game losing streak as LeBron notches six triple double of the season in his ninth triple double at age 39 all other players in NBA history have one triple double combined after turning 39 years old Stephen EG I mean the king it’s nice nice to see um LeBron James is approaching 40 he’ll be 40 next month the man is sensation we know this my problem is is that I’m not seeing a good Lakers basketball team which means that we’re reduced to LeBron stat pattern that’s what we’re reduced to because the rest of the team won’t show up and play I’m not talking about Anthony Davis who’s an MVP candidate by the way not talking about him but where is this defense particularly in Fast Break they’re the second worst defense against fast breaks in the National Basketball Association you know what that means Molly that means cats ain’t hustling back on defense now I’m not going to expect that from a LeBron James who’s approaching 40 but I mean again I’m glad that D’Angelo Russell was put to the bench because he he just plays like he’s on cruise control most of the time uh you know this guy Jared Vanderbilt when the hell is he going to get healthy and get back on the court haimura is a good three is a good three-point shooter I don’t know why he’s not being more assertive and more aggressive I just look at the loss Angeles Lakers right now and I see a few teams in the NBA that’s better than them I do want to say this however about JJ Reddit JJ reck can coach JJ reick knows basketball um his attention to detail is undeniable uh they look better uh than they have uh in recent memory in terms of that attention to detail and how he’s been performing I got to give respect and love WIS due to him I think if you give him some young thorough breeds that can hustle up and down the court and prioritize defense just as much as they prioritize offense I think that you’ll see a a far better Lakers basketball team but right now you got to work with what you got to work with and you got too many guys that’s living that La life and it just appears to show itself on the defensive side of the ball they ain’t interested in hustling nearly as much as they should and that’s what I find to be very very flagrant and I think it’s holding back LeBron James and Anthony Davis whaty now see it’s Thanksgiving and I’m not trying to hear all this Doom and Gloom from Stephen A about my Lakers right now we were just this was just an opportunity to put some give some shine to the King LeBron James so that’s what I’m going to do 39 years old what is this ninth triple double you said that that’s all that need to be said I didn’t need to I didn’t need to die tribe about the defense and all that we can say that for another day outside of Thanksgiving yeah we say that and J doing his he he recorded his six triple double he’s approaching 40 years of age he’s in better shape than 98% of the league I mean you you want me to you want me to do Thanksgiving listen he is you know what he is the goat when it comes to longevity nobody has ever been this great this long as LeBron James has been the four-time champion the four-time league MVP he’s in tinel town okay even though they went home in the first round last year they went to the Western Conference Finals the year before major props to him you’re happy about that I’m looking for it to the playoffs and stuff like that and I want LA to shine so I could be in La instead of someplace else you know come NBA in the NBA playoffs and that’s why I’m looking at it you you not gonna be in your secret location well that’s that’s that’s one of the places you know you know you got to play somebody you gotta play somebody so you know you can’t just be one place you got to go several places you know what I’m saying so I mean that’s what I’m hopeful for you know we got to see how go got see [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
