On this episode of Combo’s Court, Combo is joined by Jason Timpf for a focused breakdown of the NBA Playoffs.

The conversation starts with the Knicks vs Hawks series and the emergence of CJ McCollum as a potential new villain for New York. After his late-game takeover, questions are being raised about the Knicks’ defense—especially the pairing of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns—and whether it can hold up in a deep playoff run.

Combo and Jason break down key adjustments, matchup strategies, and why attacking the right defenders matters in playoff basketball . They also discuss how Atlanta is creating problems, what the Knicks need to fix moving forward, and why the series may still lean New York despite early concerns.

Additional topics include:

Jonathan Kuminga’s impact and development in high-pressure moments
