00:04 43 and a half is also the win total for the New York Knicks.
00:08 We have mentioned the Knicks perusing the market, seeing what might be out there.
00:13 And J-Y is preaching patience.
00:15 That's something the Knickerbockers are putting on display at this moment.
00:20 A playoff series victory for the first time in a while.
00:23 Last postseason for New York, they add Dante DiVincenzo.
00:27 Already this offseason, the New York Villanova Wildcats as things stand.
00:32 So J-Y, for the rest of this summer and into the offseason in the NBA,
00:37 what do you, a lifelong New York Knicks fan, want your team to do?
00:41 >> Patience.
00:45 And anybody that knows me, you know me as well as anybody been on this network.
00:49 There's one thing Coach Young don't have, and that's patience.
00:52 And I'm pleading Knicks fans, patience, relax.
00:57 It's about the journey.
00:59 I wanna see improvement in the win total.
01:01 Now they got off to a slow start, they got rolling.
01:04 Now, we have concerns as Knicks fans.
01:06 Number one, we're coming into what I call the Julius Randle even year.
01:11 Look at his stats.
01:12 Even year, bad.
01:15 Odd year, great.
01:16 So that's gonna be a concern.
01:18 Can RJ Barrett become a consistent scorer?
01:21 Can Mitchell Robinson stay healthy?
01:23 I'm gonna say this, folks.
01:25 If the Knicks go under, let's say, 40 wins,
01:29 Tom Thibodeau will not be the coach next year.
01:32 I don't think there's enough talked about.
01:33 I think there's pressure on this guy.
01:35 They have to get it done.
01:37 There's already talk about Obie left.
01:39 He wasn't great with Obie.
01:41 Fournier, the dilemma with that, trying to train him.
01:44 He talked trash about Tibbs.
01:46 Tibbs has his guys.
01:48 And his main guy is Randle.
01:49 This is a critical year for the two of them.
01:52 Because if not, Randle goes into his last year, his deal, in '24, '25 next year.
01:58 And Tibbs can be gone as well.
