  • Julius Randle had a triple double for the Knicks, and they went over the Cavs last night.

  • Brian has Randall turned a corner in New York?

  • Well, it was an amazing start to the season for him, guys, he's averaging 7.5 assists per game.

  • So far, he's only averaged as much as three in his career.

  • He's playing point forward for the Knicks.

  • This is not something we saw in Julius Randle's game.

  • I have no idea whether this is gonna last, but if he decides to play this way going forward, he's gonna be a completely different threat to deal with.

  • Yeah, Brian, But listen well, we have.

  • But we have to realize Rachel, Julius Randle have been a guy that's been putting up 20 and 10 for a while now.

  • He just been under the radar because he hasn't been in winning situations.

  • But he's a guy that's capable of getting 20 and 10.

  • Now he's up in his assists and making others better.

  • I think the sky's the limit.

  • He's been one of my favorite players for a long time, and now he's getting to show that because I'm saying that, yes, the Knicks are finally moving in the right direction.

  • I've heard that before, Kendrick Perkins.

  • I do agree.

  • There's a difference, though, that he's been putting up some numbers.

  • But there's a difference between putting up stats on a team that's not winning and making your whole game or, well, well rounded and being more of a threat, which is certainly what we're seeing right now.

  • All right, I want to get to the Magic shoutout to my friend George Jolanta down there because the Magic are undefeated at 40 after beating the Thunder last night in O K C.

  • Magic have won three of their four games on the road as well.

  • So perk is this.

  • The year that we say the Magic are a playoff team, not just a playoff team because they've been in but a threat in the playoffs.

  • Maybe you went a little in the play playing around or something like that.

  • They are a threat.

  • Rachel and I'm so disappointed in myself because I slept on the Magic.

  • Steve Clifford.

  • He is a hell of a coach.

  • He hangs his hat on the defensive end.

  • He preached ball movement offensively, they pass a good shots to get great shots.

  • And Ross Terrorist Ross has been killing it for them off the bench.

  • I love the way the magic play.

  • They're not the most sexiest team to watch, but they get the job done.

  • Yeah, Marquel faults just had another fantastic game for them.

  • The crazy thing about this team is that they were considering trading Aaron Gordon in the off season.

  • They were considering trading Heaven Fournier in the off season.

  • They really weren't sure which way they were going to go.

  • Then they go into the season, extend a couple of their guys for big money, and now they're playing well.

  • And here's the thing.

  • I know it's just four games, but like I said before, the number eight playoff scene is going to be an all out fight.

  • Getting off to this start is really gonna help them as they try to sneak in the back end of those playoffs.

  • Yes, but we'd like to see them maybe win more than a game in the opening round of the playoffs, too, and make a statement and it feels like they're on the path to something a little bit more this year.

  • We'll have to see if it pans out all right.

  • There are six MBA games scheduled this Wednesday as we look into the league pass game of the night.

  • So we got LeBron's birthday game in San Antonio.

  • But NBA TV also showing Bucks heat after their record setting encounters last night as well as Blazers Clippers.

  • So who should we pick is our league pass game of the night?

  • It can't be a national TV team.

  • Oh, look, it's Hawks.

  • Next.

  • Atlanta's under defeated.

  • They're taking a major step up in competition, though tonight against the Nets, K, D and Kyrie expected to play.

  • Perk.

  • Expect the Hawks toe hang with the Nets in Brooklyn tonight.

  • Absolutely, you have Trae young on your squad.

  • You're gonna be in the game.

  • If I had to give out the M V P Award for a week for Week one, he would get it.

  • Rachel.

  • He's playing phenomenal basketball right now.

  • Trey Young is the top five player in the league, and I expect him to go out there and do it against the Nets.

  • Tonight.

  • He's telling some James Harden stuff.

  • Doing little trickeration is now his third year in the league.

  • Get into the line.

  • He got to the line 15 times.

  • He's so good.

  • The line.

  • It's an automatic.

  • Two points.

  • Watch Kyrie Irving attack him tonight and him go back in.

  • Kyrie, I want to see Ah!

  • Good old fashioned slugfest.

  • Those two guys gunning for 40.

  • That's what we want to see on the last game of the night, right?

  • Hey, wanna see Wendy and Zach Lowe?

  • A T Y M c a.

  • Going back and forth there, Pick up.

  • That's how they be battling it out.

  • That's what we're going to see tonight.

  • I would really pay a lot of money Country Perkins to see that game.

  • I think America would.

  • So, Brian, if you could just call Zack and organize that in the next few days, Maybe not during Cove it, but But soon.

  • Maybe we'll just do in a few months.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
