It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Mild day today, but big winter storm on the way. But it's a fun day, an exciting day. It's a feel-good Thursday with the baseball teams making some moves. Yankees bringing back Cody Bellinger, which is something every Yankee fan wanted. And the Mets and David Stearns making that trade for Freddy Peralta. Yelling about that. Getting someone in that rotation that you can trust. And a veteran who pitches a lot and innings eaters. I've been saying this guy, that's what he does. He goes out there and he doesn't miss a lot of starts. 888-828-1019 if you want to talk about that.
Which is the Red Pocket mobile fan line. It's brought to you by your new Ultimate Cell Carrier Red Pocket. Mobile talked a ton of football as well. Haven't talked as much about the Knicks, and this is why it's just very hard to judge a basketball team during the regular season when there's such a wide range of opponents. And I think that even though it's a simplistic thought, it's true. It's like, I need to see what you do next. I need to see what you do next. And that next game, Saturday, against Philadelphia... I mean, that's what we're looking for. I mean, I know you won by 54 points against the Nets, but you're a team that's supposed to go to the NBA Finals, and you were playing like crap. So what happened last night against the Nets means nothing to me.
It really doesn't, unless you lost. Then I'd have a problem. And you're not supposed to lose at home on MLK Day against a team like the Mavericks, even with Cooper Flagg back in the lineup. Exactly. So, it's just, will this team continue to build off of what happened last night and get to a point before the trade deadline where Leon Rose, Jim Dolan, World Wide West, Mike Brown, whoever the hell else... feels like this team can go win a championship or do they have to make a massive change? We're about two weeks away from the trade deadline. Yeah, I know. It's creeping up. It's right here, man. And maybe that's one of the reasons why the team is not playing that great. Maybe they're thinking that they're hearing the buzz or maybe the agents are involved.
You know, you never know what goes on. I mean, like, they've ruined the Ranger culture about two years ago. Yeah, with all that stuff. You just got to wonder if that's happening to the Knicks right now. Yeah, and that's something that I mentioned. Frank Isola, of course, has covered the Knicks in New York basketball forever. You know, his opinion on it was that he thinks that Carl Anthony Towns is having a down year for him, in part because of all the Giannis chatter prior to the season and during the season, how he would be a part of that. thinking that I came here, I'm supposed to be a part of this team that wins a championship and brings a championship back to New York. I was on a team that got to the conference finals last year, and now you're trying to ship me out of here.
From his perspective, Carl Anthony Towns' perspective, he's like, well, what else do you need me to do? But from us, we're like, well, what we need you to do is be more of a championship player and not take dumb fouls and not lay on the ground forever and not have these nights where you disappear offensively. So maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe he is playing sort of in this malaise because he thinks there's a chance he gets traded. But none of that's an excuse. I mean, if anything, that should motivate you more. I thought he was motivated. I thought, you know, when he first started and we were talking about him, he said himself that he wasn't sure where he fit in this new offense. Yeah.
What was the significance of the Knicks' 54-point win over the Nets?
And then they went on that little run about 10 games into the season. They went on that run, and they were playing really great basketball. We said, okay, he's figured it out. And, you know, Mike Brown kept talking about how well they were playing defense, how they were connected.
