1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,480
Greetings my peeps and welcome to the all things basketball podcast with your boy GD.

2
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,120
In this episode I'll be breaking down the Knicks schedule guys.

3
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:24,280
I'll be talking all about it from opening week to all the holiday games to their end

4
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:31,960
season tournament also all their national games. We'll talk about Obi-Toppins return

5
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:39,360
to the garden and also I'll talk about Josh Hart, him resigning also spy gate for the

6
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:47,000
NBA concerning the Knicks and some other news as well around the NBA and the WNBA as well

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:01:00,800
so just sit back relax and enjoy the show. Okay guys so it's your boy GD back with the

8
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:10,240
all things basketball podcast with GD of course that's me and I already gave you the NBA schedule

9
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,200
the full schedule everything that's going on but I didn't break down the Knicks specifically

10
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,760
and I wanted to do that in this episode here and maybe throw in some news at the back end

11
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:31,160
in any event let's get into it. So the Knicks their opening night is on Wednesday October

12
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:39,280
25th and that's going to be a game versus Boston 7 o'clock on ESPN. They make their

13
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:46,800
debut on national television facing the New Look Celtics now that you have of course Jason

14
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Tatum, Jalen Brown and also you have Krista Porzingis so your New Look Celtics there facing

15
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:05,160
the Knicks not really New Look Knicks just added one piece pretty much so there's that

16
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:11,440
and then on the road they make their debut on the road two days later on a Friday October

17
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:18,680
27th where they go to Atlanta to face the Hawks and that's at 730 not nationally televised

18
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:27,520
but of course on MSG Network can't wait to watch that to see Bill Pito, Alan Hahn, Monica

19
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:35,320
McNutt and Wally Serbiacs so can't wait to see those guys there and of course Mike Breen

20
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:42,520
and Walt Clyde Frazier doing the game. So that's the opening night and their first game

21
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:50,040
on the road. Let's talk about holiday games guys. The Knicks have four holiday games believe

22
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:59,640
it or not. They have December 25th Christmas which is on ESPN 12 noon they face the Milwaukee

23
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:07,840
Bucks and then on New Year's Day they play the Minnesota Timberwolves at 3 o'clock and

24
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:16,720
that's on NBA TV. Follow that up with MLK Day that's a game versus the Orlando Magic

25
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:24,240
and it's at 3 o'clock and on Easter guys the Knicks are playing on Easter March 31st and

26
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:30,560
they're playing against the Oklahoma City Thunder and that's a 7 o'clock game. The national

27
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:40,280
games they have 25 guys this is how it shakes out. 10 on ESPN so of course ESPN of course

28
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:46,000
you got a Stephen A Smith there of course he wears his emotion on the sleeves supposedly

29
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,320
about the Knicks. That's a story for another day but I digress. So they have 10 games TNT

30
00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:00,160
has seven games. Barclay lately has been taking it easy on the Knicks I guess he sees the

31
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:07,720
handwriting on the wall that they are moving in the right direction so seven games on TNT

32
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:16,600
five games on NBA TV and then three on ABC so the Knicks get national exposure guys that

33
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,280
comes with winning so bring a winning product to the court you're going to get the exposure

34
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:29,880
so kudos in that regard. The N-Season tournament for the Knicks so the Knicks are in I want

35
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:37,680
to say it's the B division in the East however they name these divisions and their games are

36
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:46,000
as follow on November 3rd on ESPN they'll be at Milwaukee 730 to face the Bucks that's

37
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,400
followed by two weeks later on November 17th they're at Washington to face the Wizards

38
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:59,520
at seven o'clock not nationally televised that's followed by a week later they take on Miami

39
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:09,760
and that's on ESPN 730 November 24th and then November 28th they face the Charlotte Hornets

40
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:16,440
at Madison Square Garden 730 so that's your four games for the Knicks so they're in the

41
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:23,480
same division as Milwaukee Washington Miami and Charlotte. Be interested to see how they

42
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,960
do in this tourney I mean pretty much most of these games are very winnable so can the Knicks

43
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:36,920
maybe do a 3-in-1 4-0 heaven forbid we'll see it's there for the takin guys so we'll

44
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:43,560
see how they play in this tourney so that is the news as far as the Knicks in the tournament

45
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:51,200
there then we have the back-to-backs Knicks have just 12 back-to-back games which isn't

46
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:59,160
a bad number to be honest with you then in terms of their road trips they have four long

47
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:06,400
road trips road trips of four games or more November 13th through November 20th they have

48
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:13,720
five games guys those five games on the road Boston Atlanta they have a back-to-back with

49
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:21,840
Washington and the Charlotte Hornets and then they follow that up with a road game in Minnesota

50
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:29,480
to face the Timberwolves December 13th a month later they go on another five game road trip

51
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:37,640
this time they go west well mostly west five games as I said Utah is the first stop followed

52
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:46,080
by Phoenix the LA Clippers so of course the LA Lakers and then the final game of the road

53
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:55,240
trip they go to Brooklyn then you don't have a set of road games like that until March guys

54
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:03,680
March 14th through the 21st four games on the road this is the rest of the West trip

55
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:11,440
facing Portland then Sacramento then Golden State and then the last leg of the road trip

56
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:18,880
will be against the defending world champions the Denver Nuggets so you have that slate

57
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:26,160
and then in the last month of the season guys they have a stretch between April 5th to April

58
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:33,160
11th four games two of the games are against familiar opponents so two games against the

59
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:40,320
Chicago Bulls one game against Milwaukee one game against Boston so it shakes out Chicago

60
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:47,640
Milwaukee Chicago Boston so that's for four games so by this time guys you would think

61
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:53,720
the Knicks are solidly in the playoffs it's just a matter of positioning so a road trip

62
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,320
like this this late could make or break where they end up in the standing so we'll see what

63
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:08,720
happens there and then your long homestands guys they have these are home stands of four

64
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:15,520
games or more in November actually a little bit after that long road trip they have a

65
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:26,000
long homestand four games from November 24th to the 30th facing Miami Phoenix Charlotte

66
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:34,120
and Detroit then a couple months later in January actually starting that MLK day they'll

67
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:42,520
have four games I mentioned Orlando Houston Washington and Toronto so very winnable games

68
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:49,160
here and then later in the month actually towards the end of a month starting January

69
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:57,920
30th they have six home games guys six of them starting with the Utah Jazz the Indiana

70
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:05,920
Pacers the LA Lakers the Memphis Grizzlies who will have John Morant and the fold there

71
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:13,760
the Dallas Mavericks and then the last game of the homestand Indiana again so the Indiana

72
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:23,040
Pacers and speaking of Indiana OB Topman's return to the garden Thursday February 1st

73
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,600
when OB visits Madison's where garden so that's his first time coming to the garden

74
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:34,800
it'll be interesting guys to see how he's received by the garden faithful I want to say they're

75
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:40,280
going to give him a warm welcome because this was a guy who was a fan favorite there are

76
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:47,080
even overtures amongst the faithful that you get rid of Randall and you play OB Topman

77
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:53,520
instead something that I said a million times won't happen as long as Tom tippa those to

78
00:09:53,520 --> 00:10:01,800
coach and lo and behold that's how it came to shake out so OB OB in Indiana I'd be interested

79
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:08,280
to see how he does over there and where he is in terms of the rotation is he a starter

80
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:16,480
is he a bench player getting a lot of minutes I think all that is waiting to be discovered

81
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:22,960
but that is his first game at Madison Square Garden guys let's talk about rivalry week

82
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:29,480
for the Knicks they have two rival games first one at Brooklyn to face the Brooklyn

83
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:43,560
net 730 on TNT and that is on January 23rd and then Saturday January 27th they host

84
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:52,520
the Miami Heat 3 o'clock on ABC so that is your rivalry games for the Knicks guys before

85
00:10:52,520 --> 00:11:00,120
the All-Star break they face actually on Valentine's Day guys February 14th they're

86
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:06,240
at Orlando to face the magic that's at 7 o'clock after the All-Star break their first

87
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:14,800
game back February 22nd and they'll be at the Philadelphia 76ers so that is that bit

88
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:23,360
of business their season finale Sunday April 14th versus the Chicago Bulls that's a one

89
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:29,000
o'clock game guys so that is their last game hopefully it's a game that they don't desperately

90
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:37,200
need so we'll see what happens there so guys that is the Knicks schedule pretty much now

91
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:44,560
I wanted to talk about a few happenings with the Knicks they resigned Josh Hart to a four-year

92
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:50,200
81 million dollar contract extension which will keep him with the Knicks up through

93
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:58,480
2028 so the Knicks I said guys when I talked about the free agency episode for the Eastern

94
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:04,440
Conference that Josh Hart did the Knicks a solid by opting in at the 12 million dollar

95
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,440
player option he really did the Knicks a solid because that opened the door for them to sign

96
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:19,120
Dante DeVincenzo from the Golden State Warriors so in that episode I made note that the Knicks

97
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:25,640
need to take care of Josh Hart for doing that and they end up doing so with the four-year

98
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:32,160
contract at 81 million now people are gonna say oh it was overpaid it was overpaid here's

99
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:39,760
another way to think about it guys you're basically getting him for really four years

100
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:46,880
at if my math is correct I'll be generous 73 million for four years is what you're really

101
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:52,000
getting him for with a player option because this four-year deal comes with a player option

102
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:59,600
in the fourth year so you're basically getting him four years 73 million with a player option

103
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:07,160
so that looks a lot better but this was the right thing to do guys and this is probably

104
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:13,320
what James Hart and is railing about over there with the Philadelphia 76ers if you make

105
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:20,640
a if you make a promise to a player make sure you fulfill your promise the Knicks did that

106
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:27,240
with Josh Hart they did them the solid like I said him opting in I'm sure the Knicks went

107
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,640
to him you know opt in and we'll take care of you on the back end he did that and the

108
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Knicks held true to their word and I tell you something guys I said it on social media

109
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:44,680
other players see that and they're like oh they really on it what they said to Josh Hart

110
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:50,720
you don't think other players notice something like that so kudos to the Knicks kudos to

111
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,200
Leon Rose and all those guys there in the front office for taking care of Josh Hart you

112
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,160
got to give them credit for this we'll see what happens but this only strengthens the

113
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:08,520
unit when you're a team of your word it goes a long way throughout the NBA so let me just

114
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:14,760
say that and in those because remember they got him at the straight deadline in the 25

115
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:22,040
games here's what he did over 10 points a game coming off the bench seven rebounds pretty

116
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:30,880
outstanding 3.6 assists nearly a steal and a half per game he shot at 58.6% from the

117
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:40,520
field guys that's very efficient nearly 52% from three he shot free throws 67.2 so this

118
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:46,240
is what this guy gave you and the team played very well down the stretch for them so I expect

119
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,640
more of the same come next year and you kind of see a glimpse at what him and Brunson is

120
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,760
doing over there with the USA team in terms of the World Cup I'll talk about the World

121
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:04,240
Cup on another date they just finished their exhibition play went undefeated so there's

122
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,960
that good news in that regard RJ Barrett is playing out of his mind for Canada we're hoping

123
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,920
that you can bring some of that back with him to the New York Knicks hopefully that

124
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:23,560
play will translate to his team and also to theirs it's been talked about the Knicks had

125
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:32,040
to fire someone supposedly he was giving away trade secrets or to speak to the enemy the

126
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:38,560
enemy being the Toronto Raptors so they're calling it the spy gate of the NBA so we'll

127
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,880
see what happens of course you know the league is probably going to investigate this and look

128
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:52,040
into this matter further if they find any hanky-panky going on I truly expect a harsh penalty against

129
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:59,600
the Toronto Raptors so to what in that will be we'll see what happens and to what in

130
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:06,000
the Knicks will get compensated in that regard we'll see in as far as that goes so there's

131
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,560
that but other than that guys looks like everything else is good in terms of the Knicks of course

132
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:18,080
you're going to have your trade rumors flying all over the place supposedly they're watching

133
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:25,960
the Joel and B situation now that Joel and B strip all mention of the Philadelphia 76ers

134
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,840
from the social media you know that's how we tell things are going south guys we go to

135
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,360
people's social media that's the time we're living in guys and then of course the heart

136
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:43,480
and situation oh by the way the league find him $10,000 for those remarks he made about

137
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:52,080
Darrell morey so there's that the question now is by many did the NBA over do it I say

138
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:58,960
no they didn't over do it it was the right thing to do of course people gonna say oh

139
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:05,760
freedom of speech freedom of speech you can't really say that because I think if he just

140
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:11,280
called him a liar and called it a day I think he gets no fine the fact that he followed

141
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:18,360
that up with I will never play for an organization run by him that means you're gonna violate

142
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:26,280
your contract that you signed so that's where the penalty comes that's why the fine was

143
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:32,040
what it was so you want called down morey a liar you could call him that up and down

144
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:38,920
fine the fact that you said you will not honor your contract is the bigger matter guys kind

145
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,840
of in a similar vein of what happened when the league gave Dame his warning concerning

146
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:53,560
that he will only go and play for Miami is sort of the same thing but if it's funny

147
00:17:53,560 --> 00:18:00,960
because if Dame low would come out and call let's say the GM over there Joe Cronin a liar

148
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:07,280
and you know wherever you send me I'm not gonna play I think Dame would have got probably

149
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:14,280
fine but he had do that's good for Dame smart of Dame so the league gave him a warning and

150
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:20,800
you saw that him and his agents has pretty much zipped up as far as any overtures of

151
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:27,520
that regard so I guess they took he to the warning but James Harden of course the saga

152
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:35,800
just keeps rolling along guys the players association says they're going to appeal it

153
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:43,240
so we'll see what happens in terms of their appeal in that regard so last thing I want

154
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:50,360
to mention before I close out I was just watching the WNBA I just watched the Las Vegas aces

155
00:18:50,360 --> 00:19:01,760
beat the Atlanta dream the score was 112 to 100 and in that game Asia Wilson just she

156
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:12,720
just went crazy guys 53 points she ties Liz Cambridge her all-time scoring record Asia

157
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:21,200
Wilson with 53 on 16 or 23 shooting from the field and she went to line 21 times guys

158
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:29,720
she sank 20 so I know in my midseason awards I thought that Brianna Stewart would get it

159
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:36,600
but I think Asia's making a strong case coming down the stretch and remember guys it was just

160
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:43,480
about maybe about a week or so ago that she was being called actually it was a little

161
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,760
longer than that couple of weeks that she was called into question after getting blown

162
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:54,280
out by the New York Liberty at the Barclay Center she had the bad game they kind of

163
00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:01,360
called her out and she says she doesn't worry about stats well tonight she wasn't worried

164
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:08,760
about stats she just put the ball in the hole man and just destroyed the dream man good

165
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:17,120
gracious anyhow so Asia Wilson all apologies I think we need to dust it off and give you

166
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:24,120
another MVP award I mean you just been sensational it's gonna be tough you got three players

167
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:30,840
that's playing well above their means Brianna Stewart for the Liberty of course Asia Wilson

168
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:36,760
and Alyssa Thomas I cannot eliminate her from the conversation with what she's doing oh by

169
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:43,280
the way she has a chance to break the all-time assistant a season record and she has eight

170
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:50,240
games to do that so Alyssa Thomas I tell you what she is maybe the quietest superstar

171
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:57,240
I've seen in some time I mean she just goes about a business and gets it done guys so

172
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,720
with that said alright guys I think I'm gonna cut it off here so there you have it the next

173
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:09,640
schedule and a little bit of NBA news sprinkled in there I'll talk about what Steph Curry

174
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:15,400
said on Gilbert Arena's podcast about him being the top point guard I guess I can mention

175
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:21,760
it now he was asked about are you the best point guard ever he says yes and he mentions

176
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,920
magic as well and then I was listening to give and go they were talking about their top five

177
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:36,160
point guards of all time I'll give you mine since I brought it up so my top five point
