Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 NBA FINALS PREVIEW WITH CONNOR DEBIASI
Q: How are the Knicks going to guard Wembanyama and can they stop him regularly?
They will likely swarm Wembanyama when he gets inside, have OG Anunoby body him up on the perimeter, and dare the other Spurs shooters to beat them, with a focus on keeping Chet Holmgren from exploiting mismatches in the earlier fantasy matchup as context; the Knicks will rely on physicality and collapse defense to disrupt him while hoping others miss.
2025 U.S. Open Preview with Tyler Shultz
Q: What are your expectations for the cut line this week?
A round scoring average potentially at plus four-ish, but for the cut line, it might be plus seven or plus eight.
Talking Ravens with Will Tannebaum
Q: At what point do you think it just gets to be too much?
It's hard to pinpoint a number of playoff losses, but the growing concern is about Lamar's recurring mistakes during critical games.
Talking Ravens with Will Tannebaum
Q: What's your expectation? What does this team need to do this season?
The only goal is winning the Lombardi, given that they've made the playoffs every year and lost in the divisional round.
Talkin' Bruins with Andrew Goldstein
Q: Talk us through what's changed with Jeremy Swainman? Is it partially due to because he didn't have a full offseason? Is it a confidence thing, maybe?
Being told by someone that we don't think you're worth this amount of money and you believe you're worth even more, that can be hard... I think he can up his play as well, and I think he will.
