64.

Yeah, it's been a weird season. I think obviously, and Tom Thibodeau likes to talk about this a lot, I think what gets missed in the discourse is kind of the circumstances surrounding games. So in their defense, two of the three games against Cleveland have been on the second night of a back-to-back.

This one tonight, without Jalen, without Miles McBride, without Campaign, starting DeLon Wright, who's been solid, and rookie Tyler Kolek. So they know Mitchell Robinson, who's not playing back to back yet. So of all the games, this isn't really the right one for a barometer kind of test.

But I mean, listen, everybody in the NBA plays back to backs when they lost by 36 or whatever it was a few weeks ago, a little over a month ago. Like, yes, they were on the second half of back to back, but. good teams don't get blasted like that, that like it's, it's pretty rare. So yeah, it's a team that I think is a really good team.

But there is a clear kind of tiering system right now in the NBA. And the top of that tier is the, the Thunder Celtics and Cavs. And those it's pretty much those three against everybody else. And the Knicks have some good moments. They look really, really good in spurts throughout games. And then they look, kind of they look like they could lose to anybody at points in games. Yeah.

I think there's a few things and yeah, there's, there's slipping here and there. Like McHale has slipped at times and that kind of, he's the most that comes to mind. And then the way that they guard teams have been guarding the Knicks. They put a five on Josh, a wing on, on cat.

And I think they've kind of leaned into maybe Josh facilitating a little bit more, getting guys off actions and having them set up. And there was it was some success the other day. I can't remember in which game, but in the first quarter, it looked really good.

So it just seems like there's just inconsistencies from the group as a whole or even guys not doing necessarily, I think, what the staff is hoping to do. But I think to your point. I think one thing that they – they're such a slow-playing team in the half court. Pace. They don't get up a ton of threes. They don't have a guy with Jalen out right now that really – well, OG is now getting to the rim.
