00:00uh there is a hot seat you think may be coming up uh not too far from me down in the city of

00:06brother love tell me what you thought who could be on the hot seat next year in the nba i mean

00:10it's crazy to say and i realize that they've had their exit interviews out in philadelphia and that

00:14daryl maury sat alongside nick nurse and talked about really his failings as well which you know

00:19which as well which i respect you know you can't just go up there and kind of bs you got to give

00:23um and i know they said that he and maury and nurse are coming back but are they i mean to me the hot

00:31the seat is hot and again i don't blame nick nurse we obviously know that nick nurse can coach he's

00:36coached himself to a ring um but you can't do a lot when the big chunk of your roster is sitting in

00:44street clothes or is having surgery or you waste months and months of a season knowing in the backs

00:51of everyone minds that joellen bead's going to need some sort of a procedure and you wait until

00:56now to finally do it and now you've added on to the time for rehab so it's it to me nick nurse hot seat

01:01and i think what obviously wouldn't be this could have gone back to last year playing on one leg

01:07probably shouldn't have played in the olympics i mean andrew wiggins wasn't allowed to play for

01:10canada kawaii got pulled out by the clippers look how they're doing we'll talk about them

01:14on our next seven for me it's tips and i'm a nick fan i know way but here's the thing here's a team

01:23that has shuffled the deck here's a team that's gone all in they were lose obviously randall and

01:29the trade and divincenzo a men a very popular especially dante for his performances in the

01:34playoffs if the knicks flame out and they didn't beat any bloody of significance during the regular

01:40season could tibbs be on the hot seat possibly in new york even though he's got a great relationship

01:46with guys like hart and brunson that's the crazy thing because i again full disclosure love tibbs

01:51worked with him at espn for several games uh i like his demeanor and personality but you know if we're

01:57just trying to be logical about it yeah like the i don't know what the expectation realistically is for

02:02new york to come out of the east that is a pretty daunting mountain to climb and like you just said

02:06they beat no one of significance all regular season long which i think is a very interesting

02:10stat um and then you know you got michael malone now floating around out there a new yorker much

02:15has been made of the idea of him possibly showing up as the knicks coach in the future i i don't want

02:20to see it but i can't say that it doesn't make sense
