coaching really makes a difference right where the guys who have been here for a long time and have gone deep a number of times will eventually just say you know what I get that this is the way we play but every once in a while I got to go by my gut and say they're not falling we got to change the diet a little bit and I think that's where Missoula has been a little too stubborn

in regards to the Celtics, but give the Knicks a ton of credit. They are playing better defensively, Ryan, than they've played all season. I think Mitchell Robinson is a huge key to that. Not only what he's done in the interior, but what he's done on the perimeter too. There were a couple of possessions on Tatum, particularly that I was just like, whoa.

I didn't know he would have that in his bag at this stage, considering everything he's dealt with injury-wise, but clearly he's ready. And I'll tell you this, this was a long time ago, earlier in the season, I want to say late November around Thanksgiving, I had the Knicks and Suns. And I remember sitting there talking to Tibbs and, you know, their defense was a mess.

I mean, it was a mess most of the season, but certainly at the beginning of the season, it was really bad. And people were like, dude, what's going on? They got Bridges, they got Ananobi, like what's, and he was saying, he was pushing back on that and saying like, hey man, it's not as bad as people think, okay? You know, guys, they're just, they're hitting tough shots on us.

You know, we're going to get some guys back. At that time, they were missing Achua and they were missing Robinson. And he was kind of telling us, he said it that day in November, if we get Mitch back, we're a different team defensively. And it's showing right now.

Well, and it's a great analogy because if you look at that series, right, you're talking about a team that had Eric Spolstra, who, I mean, look, Tibbs is not Eric Spolstra as far as his accomplishments, but Tibbs has been through enough of these wars to know what it takes this time of year. Like, think about it. The Knicks are playing defense in a way they had not played all season.

They're switching more than they've ever switched. As a matter of fact, in the first two games, Monday's game was the most – a Tibbs team has ever switched in the regular season or the playoffs. Okay. And then game one was, I believe the fourth most in, in, in any, in any time in his next tenure. So again, it's the type of stuff where you say, Hey,

you know what, I know we've played a certain way and it's gotten us to this point, but I need to do something different against this particular beast. So Eric Spoelstra was certainly capable of doing that. He's as good in a game adjuster and game to game adjuster as there is. And Tibbs is kind of learning that or has learned that over time too, right?
