On today's pod Shwin and Prez discuss the Knicks 8-game win streak being snapped by the Raptors, why the frontcourt is more in need of consolidation than the backcourt, how RJ's offensive leap is hiding in plain sight, why trading for Zach Lavine would be a poor read on how to build off the Knicks' surge, why the team is better served sticking with their crop of young players through ups and downs this year, and much more!
