Chapter 1: What did Carl Anthony Towns mean by knocking the cobwebs off?
Knicks get killed by the Pistons, and Carl Anthony Towns said they needed a game to knock the cobwebs off. You know, you see your family get in the sun, need a game to knock the cobwebs off. You ever feel like that in the NFL? You need a game to knock the cobwebs off? You know, middle of the season, facing the team that's ahead of you in the standings.
You're getting your cobwebs knocked off every time you step on the field.
You know, like you're added a bye week, and you're like, you know, we're playing this division opponent or this conference opponent that's ahead of us in the standings.
I kind of do remember the first bye week, the first year. I think we might have had two bye weeks. In 93, I'm not sure.
Chapter 2: How do bye weeks affect a team's performance in the NFL?
Really? Hey, Al, Google that and check that out, will you? Well, wasn't Eddie on that part of that 93 Jets? Did we have two buys that week? Scrock. There was one year I think we had two buys.
Hmm. Well, Eddie was, I mean, this was his own memory. This is not just him being Scrock.
And by the way, they treat the buys a little bit different than they do now. So the guys, you know, like let's say you play Sunday. They give you the entire week off. We would never have the entire week off.
Oh, okay.
Now it was something that was put in the CBA well after I retired.
Well, it seems like everything changed well after you retired. Now these guys are making $60 million a year. They barely practice. You did have two buys. We did. Week three, which seems terrible, and week seven.
Oh, wow.
Week three and week seven. Wow, that's crazy. And you had to go through the rest of the year without having to buy. So, yeah, maybe you needed an extra day to knock those cobwebs off, man, which was insulting to hear that after the game.
Especially from a guy who was at the All-Star game.

Chapter 3: Why is the Knicks' recent performance against the Pistons concerning?
Yeah, and, Gio, I think a part of that is because, you know, I'm watching it, and it seems like, you know, first of all, with him ā It was just seeing it firsthand, like the complaining and hearing the things that he's saying. I'm like, this guy, there's no grit there. And then it was like watching the Knicks. There wasn't a lot of chatter when they had the ball.
And it just seems like they were disorganized and all over the place. And then when the Pistons got the ball, it looked like they were like an orchestra. And I don't know how the Knicks start off the fourth with two straight turnovers, and you got Cade just running up and down the court on you.
It was crazy, man. Everything you didn't want to see, you saw. That's basically what it came down to. Every single thing you didn't want to see last night, you saw.
But just remember this, while we feel awful about it this morning and we're angry and we're frustrated, that they can make all of this stuff go away when the playoffs arrive. And I'll never forget, or we should never forget, that when the playoffs start, we all start anew. Everything starts over, and that's the good thing.
And you hope that you get there when you're totally healthy, and then you can recreate some of those magic moments that you had last year.
Let's go to Andrew at Rockville Center. What's up, Andrew?
Hey, guys. How are you? Boomer, we met years ago. All my respect to you at the CF Clinic over in Columbia. You are such a gentleman. I just want to take a shit ton to say thank you. Gio, I just want to say to you, that guy stole my thunder about the Knicks. And I am tired of hearing, wait for the playoffs. Why can't other teams...
on the spot, play a good game, and we can never, ever play a good game when we need to. I have no faith in his team and his management. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think that, I mean, to say play a good game when you need to is wrong. I mean, they've won a lot of big games this year. That game against Denver was amazing, you know, that overtime game that they ended up winning. I thought that that was probably their best win of the year. Now, when you say you needed to, did you really need to win last night's game?

Chapter 4: Does Karl-Anthony Towns need to be great for the Knicks to win?
And he's a guy who's been like the anti-cat. Like he's the kryptonite, the cat. Okay? He just beats him up.
He's physical. He's a muscular.
Right, right. And he's like a really tough, he's a tough matchup. So he was not in the game last night. So, like, why isn't the coach telling the team, let's get our 6'11 center involved?
Chapter 5: What role does shooting play in the Knicks' success?
I brought this up after the Indiana game. I don't know. I don't know if it's because Mike Brown doesn't trust or respect his abilities. I don't know if it's Carl Anthony Towns not calling for the ball or wanting the ball, which I can't imagine it's that. I don't know if it's Jalen Brunson and others who have the ball in their hands not trusting him or respecting him.
I don't know. I would say, hey, Kat. Go stand like two feet from the basket and we'll throw you the ball. I mean, I know it's a little bit more complicated than that, but there has to be a game plan going in knowing who is not playing for the other team.
And I actually, I was more upset with him defensively last night than anything.
Well, that's the other part of it.
He was just... I mean, he was getting mocked out there.
Like, it was like a mockery. You know what? Defense is attitude and it's want to. You know, it basically, you have to put your total mind into it and be good at it. And sometimes it doesn't come all that easy to players, especially when they have dominated their entire life.
Yeah. But you would think with all the things that have been said about him and the trade rumors and the fans getting on him and Carl Anthony Towns, every game, want to come out and just beat people up and impose his will on every opponent and say, I'm a New York Knick. I grew up in this area. F everybody. And we're going to go, I'm going to put this team on my back. You would think that.
Everybody doubting me, chip on the shoulder, the whole thing. You just don't see it. You don't see it. You see a guy who's frustrated and complaining and getting cooked on defense. That's what you see. And when he was supposed to be the missing piece, it's the biggest problem they have. I mean, it really is.
