The Knicks do it in five! Mitch Robinson was tremendous, RJ Barrett stays clutch, and Josh Hart was awesome once again. Much like the entire series, the Knicks won this game off their physicality. They were a brute force on the glass and did a great job of containing Donovan Mitchell. The Heat are next, but before we get to that series, I put an end to the insanity that is the Knick hater. Let people be happy and celebrate. All that and more in this ep!

NYY-NYK-MMA Question of the Day: The Knicks and Heat have met in five different playoff rounds over their history. Which won has won more series against the other? And how many?

After dropping the first two games, the Yankees were able to salvage the series with a blowout victory on Wednesday. Overall, the bats are in a tough spot. We discuss the problems with the offense like Franchy Cordero and Willie Calhoun, the sustainability, the Yankees' front office complacency, and also some positives like Judge, Torres, and Volpe. I also get annoyed at the whole "win series" thing, and give some thoughts on the Yankee starters this series.

The Knicks win again! Loser Cleveland seems like they've conceded. In this game, the Knicks were huge on the offensive boards. We start with that. The defense was also very high quality from the perimeter to the back line. Also, I loved the way the Knicks ran halfcourt offense in this game, generating points through Brunson & RJ through different screen actions. We talk about it all!

That was boring. The Yankees scored five runs in three games against the Blue Jays to drop their first series of the season this weekend. There were some positives in the pitching staff with Cole and Clarke, and DJ LeMahieu continues to look strong, but questions now loom. Can the feeble Yankee bats continue to be carried by a beat-up rotation? Will the lineup start producing more? Will the Yankees look to improve outside of shopping at the bargain bin? Lots to cover in this ep!

Tough loss. The defense wasn't great, but the offense was repulsive and we've got to discuss concerns on that end. Ironically, Cleveland came out physical and beat up the Knicks in this game. Lots to cover. Just listen. Or watch. Wherever app you're on.
