Barry and Blandy gush over the Jose Alvarado acquisition. They mention Jeremy Sochan too (but don't expect as much excitement). Is Brunson playing smart or just dumb hero ball?  The Knicks are 35-20 which may have sealed their fate in missing out on a ring this year. Hear why!  As always, "Around the NBA with Blanderson Hooper" and YOUR voicemails!
