  • Great content, bad audio

    Something is off with the audio lately because I can’t listen to episodes without putting my volume to the max. As someone who is hard of hearing this is really frustrating

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Knicks Are Ready to Finish the Job w/ Lee Escobedo
Q: What is the one biggest thing the Spurs will try to do in game three to counter the Knicks?
The Spurs will likely try to pressure Brunson with more aggressive on-ball defense, using guards and wings to disrupt his rhythm, while also exploiting the mismatch opportunities with Wembanyama and cross-matching to force Brunson into difficult shots and draws attention away from Towns.
How The Knicks Can END The NBA Finals
Q: What went wrong for San Antonio in game four?
The Spurs struggled with ball pressure, weak-side rhythm, and fatigue for Victor Wembanyama, which disrupted their paint touches and reduced the ball movement that fueled their offense.
The Knicks Defense Is Built To Break Victor Wembanyama With Benjy Ritholtz
Q: What is your big-picture assessment of how the Knicks can attack Wembanyama while keeping him from wrecking the game on the defensive end?
The Knicks should use a mix of five-out lineups, quick ball movement, and off-ball screening to pull Wembanyama away from the rim, while leveraging transition opportunities and ball-handling from Brunson and Bridges to create open shots and drive-and-kick actions that exploit any staggered rotations. They must balance attacking Wembanyama with preserving floor spacing and not overcommitting to one mode of offense that can be countered.
KNICKS SQUAD SHOW: New York Post's Mike Vaccaro on Mitchell Robinson Injury & NBA Finals
Q: What adjustments do you think the Knicks should make if Mitch can't play or is limited?
OG Ananobi at center is a plausible approach to spread the floor and add size, with Huckporty potentially stepping in for minutes. The team could also lean on their depth players, like Sohan or Huckporty, for late-game scenarios to maintain physicality and rebounding without overreliance on Mitch. Long-term, the focus is on maintaining team chemistry and leveraging versatile lineups to mitigate the loss.
Josh Hart Will Make Or Break The New York Knicks Against The Cleveland Cavaliers With Danny Cunningham
Q: How would you approach stopping Jalen Brunson against Cleveland's bigs and guards?
A plan that uses Dean Wade or Max Strus in a Brunson-specific role, with a focus on forcing Brunson into tougher mid-range shots and using multiple looks (blitzes, switches, and timely hedges) to prevent easy initiation of plays and to keep the Knicks from getting clean looks at the rim.
