BT & Sal dive into the Knicks' early struggles, impatiently pushing back on sensitive fans ("We get it, they'll be a playoff team!") as they preview a crucial stretch of seven straight home games at MSG. Sal expresses concern about the team's need to "get fat at home" to reach a 50-win season. The conversation quickly pivots to the looming presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, analyzing his perfect non-denial of trade rumors and arguing that if he forces a move, the Knicks are the likely—and desired—destination, potentially saving them from overpaying. They also discuss the need for more "lethal shooters" to complement a potential Brunson-Giannis core and debate the "worse" sports insult: calling Mike Brown "Mike Clown" or referring to Karl-Anthony Towns as "soft."
