On today's pod Shwin and Prez discuss the Knicks tight loss to the Kings, why the defensive issues for the game seem slightly overblown, the contrasting offensive styles on display in the game, why it's time for RJ Barrett to step up and be a difference maker with Brunson out, assessing the pros and cons of the Knicks' player development strategies, and much more!
