  • Brunson Who?! Revisited!! X10

    Waited a bit. Cause I have hopes every year. And I apologize. I Hadn’t been able to listen as frequently as I’d like. So not sure if respects had been issued and I missed. But had to say I told ya so. Insanely as it sounds. Our Knicks are a capable TEAM with Brunson. And simply bringing that aspect to something the Knicks hadn’t had in decades. It’s not a team that just makes the playoffs and feels their goal was accomplished. He was coached by the best from day 1. Has won championships. Knows w... more

  • Knicks with a humor

    Long time listener and fan of these fine gentlemen. I took a hiatus from listening to the show for about half a year but we back baby. Today, I listened to a podcast and it was just as good and entertaining as always. The hosts just mesh well with one another it’s evident that they are all very close friends. In my opinion, what’s sets this show apart and makes it appealing is the humor and sense of genuiness that the hosts provide. Keep up the good work fellas!

  • Best season yet!

    A pod that captures the joy and despair of being a Knicks fan without getting sucked into negativity.

    Since smashing (and getting smashed) 6 episodes in a week the guys have kept it rolling. Craig is as erratic and melodramatic as ever, post-Game Barry is fuelled up and ready to roll and Blandy remains spectacularly ordinary.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

First Rule of PreSeason…
Q: So what are you really looking for in the pre-season?
Well, I just want to see how fast can they get in the corners and what does that do to the other team?
Thibs Reaction with James Edwards III
Q: Is there any player on this team that you don't want back next year?
I would take Kevin Durant over Carl Anthony Towns just because I would not.
Thibs Reaction with James Edwards III
Q: What do you think about the whole situation?
I think they did not just make this decision out of nowhere, there were checkpoints they had to meet for Thibs to keep his job.
ECF Preview w/ James Edwards III
Q: How crazy was it for Tibbs to keep his guys in for as long as he did in game six?
It was insane. Up 35 is different than being up 15; you have to protect these guys now.
Nobody's Perfect...And They Don't Have To Be
Q: Did you want to change your prediction of Celtics in five?
I will say this. I'm going to keep it. I'm one of those guys that like, if the Knicks win in five, bring it on. Like, I want to hear it.
