Built. For. This.
Dexter Henry, of the NY Post, joins the pod to discuss the Knicks' commanding 3-1 series lead over the Celtics. New York is now one win away from getting to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years.
KnicksCast: Nothing to See Here......
Sure, you wanted to beat Cleveland but we're 100% in the diminishing returns portion of the season. Can't describe a team as lacking depth and then expect them to beat one of the best teams in the league on the second half of a back to back. Focusing on some takeaways...
KnicksCast: Incoming...
PJ Tucker officially joins the squad. Bench presence is sorely needed but there may still be a need in the rotation, at the very least insurance- is he that too?
KnicksCast: Too Many Trends....
Down more than a few players here but it's hard to give them excuses for some of the issues that have persisted all year. Maybe some cruise control...which is mostly fine but not a lot of reason to believe that's all it is.
KnicksCast: Trust the Process.....
Process, process, process....season's winding down and even with signs of life on defense, cohesion top to bottom seems to still be lacking.
KnicksCast: Getting Defensive...
I talked about the defense starting to cook weeks ago but the offense is still lagging behind. Why the defensive turnaround? Jalen is getting too much blame and Mitch may be getting too much credit.
KnicksCast: Dog Days...
Signs of life if you move past simply looking at wins and losses but adjustments, adjustments, adjustments- so many needed but not huge moves at the end of the day. Will we see them?
KnicksCast: Trigger Warning....
Draymond Green running his mouth may have flipped a switch for this team because like Ashley Nicole Moss said, it's clearly- NY vs Everybody & it's time they start playing like that.
KnicksCast: Shaky Ground...
Undisciplined play and approach lost this game. Still searching for a foundation to count on every night.
KnicksCast: Lollygagging...
Roommates pod was full of gems as far as the state of the Knicks. This Philly game showed that there may be some lingering effects of the devastating Boston loss,
KnicksCast: Center of Attention....
Welp!! Looks like Mitch will indeed be the starting center and maybe as soon as this weekend. Let's get into what it looks like and how we got here.
KnicksCast: Do Better....
Commitment to effort, focus & smart offense seems to be the missing ingredient, but why is it so elusive? Feels like simple fixes are needed before personnel changes but here they are- struggling to even keep games close against the best teams. How is this real life?
