00:00What's happened to the Knicks since that game?

00:02Like, last night, they, you know, bent over at home,

00:06at the Garden, to the Magic, who have no one.

00:08They've lost three in a row.

00:10Is this the wall, the malaise?

00:13What's going on?

00:15Well, it's a couple things.

00:17First things first, you know, we need to have our girl Chop Suey

00:20go to the Knicks and teach them how to shoot

00:22because they can't seem to knock down any damn threes

00:25as of late.

00:26Jalen Brunson struggling mightily

00:28these last ten games, shooting the ball from the floor,

00:30particularly from three.

00:31So, number one, the three-point shooting has been off.

00:33Number two, Pharrell, this is their issue.

00:36They're top-heavy.

00:38So, when you have guys that play major minutes,

00:41they're going to run out of steam.

00:43That's what happened in the last three games,

00:46particularly in the fourth quarter,

00:48versus the Thunder and then the Bulls on a back-to-back

00:50that could not seem to get stopped.

00:52You had Carl Anthony Towns not playing.

00:54I think they missed Deuce McBride.

00:57The talk around here is that the Knicks are going to wait this year out

01:00and then figure out what to do after this year.

01:02But this kind of three-game losing streak

01:04is kind of making Leon Rose think about the fact that

01:08he needs to either, one of two things,

01:10Tims has got to play some of the younger kids,

01:12whether it's Huck Portey, whether it's Kolek,

01:14whether it's Dadier.

01:16Do they bring T.J. Warren up from the G League

01:18because he's crushing it?

01:19That's a proven score.

01:20Or do they go out and get a trade,

01:22like a Jonas Valanciunas,

01:24or someone like a DeAndre Hunter off the bench?

01:26They have to do something.

01:28But I want people to realize something.

01:30Oklahoma City folks,

01:32if they pull off this win tomorrow against Cleveland,

01:35they should be the favorites to win the title.

01:37Because if you look at it,

01:38they outscored the Knicks by 18 on Friday.

01:41They outscored the Celtics by 17 in the fourth quarter on Sunday.

01:45And if they go to Cleveland and win there,

01:47Pharrell, they should be the favorites to win the title

01:50because they're young, they're hungry,

01:53they're going to get shut back,

01:55and you know Percy's got those draft picks to make another move.
