After a heartbreaking overtime loss to Boston the Knicks find themselves in the non-guaranteed 3rd slot in the East with three games to go. Will Indiana, just 2 games back, take their spot? Will Detroit, just 2 games back of Milwaukee, take the 5th spot and drop the Bucks to 6th? A lot can play out in the final 3 games and the boys talk about all of it, including Thibs' job security. Also, Blandy's niece and nephew swear like sailors, Barry goes to a hearing for a speeding ticket in the Bronx, and "Around the NBA with Blanderson Hopper!"

OG continues the best run of his career, Bridges was gun shy, and in an unrelated story—Ja Morant was not gun shy, Bonas and Boners, 6 games remain, and "Around the NBA with Branderson(?) Hooper."
