I've got to figure it all out.

We're still in the process of figuring it all out.

And then we wanted to give them some kind of leeway.

Okay, new coach, we understand, new system.

And then they found their rhythm there for a while.

And then, of course, they beat all those bad teams prior to these three losses.

And that was a little bit of a camouflage spot, if you ask me.

Because now when you start playing against really good teams with big star players, all of a sudden those players go off on your team because your team in those particular situations aren't playing defense on the other team's best players or trying to play defense but can't.

That is a red flag, a major red flag.

Yeah, I mean, there's nothing worse in the NBA, or, you know, football too is another one of these sports where you feel like you're the older, slower team.

And both Charlotte and Houston made the Knicks feel like that.

And that's not something any of us want to see going into the playoffs.

I don't want to feel like the bad, defensive, slower team against some of these real contenders that we have seen.

And, you know, it's not like they haven't,

beaten any good teams, but it's just been a really long time, and they just... The issues... I know what teams are trying to do against the Knicks, and it's working.

And that's the thing that really concerns me about the postseason.

Because I don't know that they can be much better defensively with their best players on the court.

And if you're not going to be better defensively with your best players on the court...

You better be maximizing every bit of offense that you have.

And that's one thing they're not doing.
