Knicks Bounce Back From Suns, Beat Bulls (Episode 240)

The Knicks saw their streak come to an end against Phoenix on Monday night. Both teams brought out their best offensive performances but in the end the Knicks' top guns struggled while the Suns received great efforts from Booker & Bridges, while Paul hit the daggers at the end. But on Wednesday they bounced back, defeating the Bulls to wrap up their homestand before they head west. It was a great rebound for Julius Randle and RJ Barrett, while Immanuel Quickley provided clutch shooting in th...

Yanks Still Not There (Episode 239)

After taking three at Progressive in what looked like a momentum building series, the Yankees disappointed at Camden. They split the series by losing the first and last game. Things have got to start picking up with Aaron Boone's squad. While some players seem to be coming around on both sides of the diamond, there are still too many struggling. Things are looking bleak as we're 25 games into the season and still in last place at 11-14.

Yanks Take Three Of Four At Progressive (Episode 238)

The Yankees took three out of four games at Progressive this weekend. Domingo is back. The homers are back. Cole is dominant. The bullpen is top notch. Deivi is next. We talk on it all in the latest episode of the pod!

Knicks Push It To Nine (Episode 237)

What a weekend! We open by discussing UFC 261's electric main event and then we get to the NYK! After a thrilling overtime win versus the Hawks, the Knicks picked up another victory at MSG this afternoon against the Raptors. They have now won nine consecutive games and have sole possession of the fourth seed. RJ Barrett & Julius Randle continue to shine, as the guard play in the absence of playmaker Alec Burks also remains incredibly resilient. This is all while the bigs keep proving how sol...

Knicks Hit Seventh Straight (Episode 236)

The New York Knicks are scorching hot. Will they ever lose again? Probably not. Will RJ Barrett ever miss another corner three? Probably not. Will Julius Randle ever cool off? Probably not either. So come tune into this episode where I basically glorify them for an hour! Things look really promising for Tom Thibodeau's unit. Their defense is defending, their role players are role playing--it's all dandy right now in the Garden.

Yanks Mopped By Tampa (Episode 235)

The Yankees continue to play lethargic, uninspiring, pathetic baseball. They do not look interested in playing the game at all at the moment. The fielding has been lackadaisical, the pitching is suspect, and the lineup is cold up and down the order. Things are so bad our first baseman retired! But Aaron Boone says all is good and dandy, so come tune into the latest episode where we rant about this joke of a start for an hour.

Knicks Win Five Straight (Episode 234)

The Knicks have won five straight! They took down both the Pelicans & Mavericks on the road thanks to Julius Randle's offensive explosions. Randle is on a string of three games where he's scored 30 or more. RJ Barrett also bounced back on Friday with a big performance where he dropped 13 of his 24 in the fourth to defeat the Mavs. Tingus Pingus takes the L! We talk Knicks, discuss some MMA, the Askren fight, and more!

Yanks Get Bitched In Dunedin (Episode 233)

There are so many things to be upset about when it comes to this Yankees team lately, but after losing another series and having to hear Aaron Boone talk positives, we dedicated most of this episode to him. I am exhausted.

Knicks Sweep Homestand (Episode 232)

The Knicks have done an excellent job bouncing back from adversity this season. They did just that on their three-game homestand. Following the exciting victory against Memphis, the 'Bockers got revenge on the Raptors on Sunday and handled a banged up Lakers team on Monday. RJ Barrett, Julius Randle, and even Elfrid Payton have played sharp offensively of late, but the team defense -- lead by Nerlens & Taj -- has been absolutely incredible. That and more in the newest show!

Yanks Salvage Series At The Trop (Episode 231)

The Yankees dropped two of three games at the Trop this weekend. The first two contests were as pathetic as can be. The Yankees got no length from their starters as Corey Kluber lasted just an out into the third and Domingo Germán was optioned after four rough innings. They also got very little out of their bats. But in the third game of the set Aaron Boone's squad woke up on both ends. Jordan Montgomery grinded through five plus while the pen held it down for the next five. Newest Yankee Rougne...

Knicks Bounce Back From Boston, Edge Out Griz (Episode 230)

The Knicks took an extremely disappointing loss in Boston for their second in a row. It dropped them to eighth in the East and two games under .500. The rebounding was piss poor and so was the execution late. But Tom Thibodeau's squad is resilient. The Knicks bounced back with a big overtime victory tonight against the Grizzlies. RJ Barrett was flawless down the stretch while Alec Burks hit some more key buckets as well. That and more in the latest episode of the pod!

Yanks Fail To Sweep O's (Episode 229)

The Yankees looked strong for two games against the O's on Monday & Tuesday but could not complete the sweep Wednesday. An extra inning loss saw the Yankees' 12-game home streak versus Baltimore come to an end. Jameson Taillon and the pen held it down together, but Gleyber Torres' late error hurt New York big as well as the lineup's inability to hit in the clutch. The Yankee bats will have their hot & cold moments, but Torres' defense is becoming the biggest concern for me. We discuss To...

Knicks Crush Pistons, Fall To Nets (Episode 228)

Yanks Underwhelm On Opening Weekend (Episode 227)

The Yankees opened up the season with a pretty disappointing series, losing two games out of three to the visiting Blue Jays. It was good to see fans in attendance this time around but they witnessed some underwhelming efforts nonetheless. The Yankees mustered up only eight runs the entire series despite their pitching holding it down to limit the Jays to nine. The Yankees will now take on another divisional rival in the Orioles to start the new week. Hopefully this time around the bats show up....

Knicks Hit A Slide (Episode 226)

The Knicks are on an ugly three-game skid. The last two losses have been against teams they needed to beat. They collapsed against the Timberwolves on Wednesday and then humiliated the shit out of themselves when hosting Tingus Pingus on Friday night. Thibs' substitutions remain a major concern for a team with playoff aspirations.

Knicks Split With Bucks & Heat (Episode 225)

The Knicks are having a strong season but the Eastern Conference's tougher teams continue to give them problems. The Miami Heat may be up and down this year but they're still the defending conference champions and always give the Knicks a difficult time. In this episode we discuss the Bucks win, the Heat loss, and more including which bigs Leon Rose should target in the buyout market.

Knicks Sweep Wiz, Stay Quiet At Deadline (Episode 224)

The Knicks took advantage of a rare soft spot in their second half schedule by sweeping the Washington Wizards in two games. Tuesday night's game was a laugher but Thursday was anything but. I discuss the Knicks' exciting play of late, go over their conservative trade deadline, and dive into some more as well.

Knicks Split Vs. Magic & Philly - With Quis From SVTV (Episode 223)

After an exciting victory over the Magic at MSG, the Knicks fell to the visiting Sixers in overtime on Sunday night. The Knicks lacked in some areas but it was another game with a controversial deciding call. It was mostly the timing of the call that has frustrated Knicks fans immensely.

Knicks Lose Tough Ones In BK & Philly (Episode 222)

The Knicks will be facing some real tough teams this half. They just dropped two real intense matchups to the Nets & Sixers. RJ Barrett & Julius Randle have tried their best to put the team on their back but it's not been enough. The Knicks need to get healthy first and foremost, but with the trade deadline coming up they also need to make a move. In this episode we break it all down.

Knicks Split First Two Post Break (Episode 221)

After a horrendous loss in Milwaukee to begin the second half of the season on Thursday, the Knicks bounced back on Saturday afternoon in OKC. Julius Randle recovered from his triple-single blunder with a triple-double while RJ Barrett poured in a career-high 32 points. Immanuel Quickley also continues to play well at point while we await the return of Derrick Rose. Lots more in this one, too!

Yanks Lose Britton (Episode 220)

It didn't take long for the 2021 New York Yankees to get bit by the injury bug! This time it's Zack Britton. As one of their only reliable weapons in the bullpen, Britton will now be sidelined for at least 3-4 months as he recovers from elbow surgery. The left-hander has a 2.14 ERA with the Yankees through three seasons. Who will step up from the pen in his absence now? And, with more pressure on the rotation to go deeper into games, who will be the No. 2 to Gerrit Cole?

Knicks Conclude First Half (Episode 218)

The Knicks wrapped up their sensational first half by bouncing back from the San Antonio loss and defeating the Pistons at home. They sit just a half game behind fourth place in the East with a record of 19-18 (.514). Tom Thibodeau's squad is playing 48 minutes of hardnosed basketball every night and it's paying off. In this morning's episode I hand out progress reports on each Knick, give a breakdown on what's to come, discuss some key concerns regarding the second half, and lots more!

Knicks Go Over .500 (Episode 217)

The Knicks are playing their best basketball in years right now. I am honestly at a loss for words. Julius Randle is playing like a max player (yup), RJ Barrett looks extremely confident again, D-Rose has been a positive as a starter, and IQ continues to be a microwave. That and tons more in the latest show!

Knicks Welcome Back Fans With A Split (Episode 216)

Madison Square Garden isn't empty anymore! There are only 2,000 fans, but to have anybody back at MSG at all feels so good with the way the Knicks have played this year. The 'Bockers disappointed on Julius' big night with a disheartening performance down the stretch against the Warriors, but they bounced back in the best way possible on Thursday. An unbelievable Payton-less performance against the Kings saw Alec Burks turn into Steph Curry, Taj Gibson pull up for three, and Frank Ntilikina resur...

Knicks Sleep In Orlando, Awake Back Home (Episode 215)

After a very disheartening letdown game in Orlando on Wednesday, the Knicks bounced back four days later at the Garden. The Wolves gave the Knicks a run for their money at the end there, but the Knicks pulled away due to some timely defense and shot making. We discuss the highs & lows of last couple of games, talk Tom Thibodeau's rotations again, and also get into serious talks about Randle, Beal, trades, extensions, and more.

Knicks Take Care Of Business (Episode 213)

The Knicks have won three straight. Most recently, they've taken care of the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks at home. Julius Randle is playing incredible basketball to where he should be a lock to make the All-Star game. But should he be considered for something bigger? Also, RJ Barrett bounced back on Tuesday night, while the new "Rickley" duo continued to raise eyebrows. More trade talk as well in the latest show.
