On today's pod Shwin is joined by James Marceda to discuss Thibs’ struggles in handling Kemba Walker’s decline in New York, why the minutes distribution pre-deadline is understandable but can’t persist beyond, why the Knicks’ step back this season is a blessing in disguise, the Mitchell Robinson remontada, thoughts on the development of RJ and IQ, a level-headed examination of the Nets’ state of play, and much more!
