On today's pod Shwin and Prez discuss the Knicks’ victory over the depleted Blazers, how RJ’s improvement is at a level where mismatches like this are light work, how Randle’s muddled on-court process paints a stark contrast to RJ, thoughts on Jake Fischer’s report on Thibs’ job being safe, why excuses on Thibs for the Knicks’ struggles to close games after taking double digit leads ring hollow, the unreasonable reticence to tweak and alter from set rotations and lineups, can the FO create conditions to help Thibs adapt and evolve in the right direction, why the FO needs to accept major culpability for the persistent issues with coaching this season, and much more!
