Oh, you know, just got approved for two weeks vacation about eight hours ago. Was going to knock out one more piece.

Was going to relax, go back to the great city of Flint, Michigan, and see family and friends. And... It's it's it's like clockwork, man. When I'm covering a team every summer, there's something there's something I can't just have a normal summer.

Yeah, I agree with you. I did not think this would happen. I was 80-20 that he would come back. And I guess when you look at it in totality, maybe the suits thought that this team should be better than 51 wins. Maybe the suits thought that this team, even though it got to the Eastern Conference Finals, once Boston and Cleveland were eliminated, that it should have been represented in the finals.

This is a shock to me. Simply because this is an organization for two decades that was the butt of jokes, that had no culture, that had no stability. And for five years, Tom Thibodeau brought stability, he brought respect, and he brought winning back to New York. And ultimately for me, yes, there were flaws this year. This team wasn't perfect.

But the fact that this guy helped bring good PR back to this franchise and the fact that this team was put together 12 hours before training camp signaled, like, I felt like this guy should have got a year to at least get another run with this team.

I mean, that's a great question. I think part of it's social media. I think part of it is people are too online. I think people listen to fans and media way too much. It's a situation specifically in New York where this team – despite its imperfections, still made it to the Eastern Conference Finals and grew stronger as the season went on.

Yes, there were the offense, the starting group that they invested so much in wasn't good. They had a negative net rating from January 1st on. They weren't very good in the playoffs, right? But This team, Jalen Brunson missed a month at the end of the year. Mitchell Robinson was gone for most of the year.
