Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to another frustrating Mets loss, even as the team finally strings together back to back series wins. The conversation centers on why moral victories are not enough for a club still buried under .500 and why every missed opportunity feels magnified.

They also dig into the renewed Pete Alonso drama, David Stearns’ roster building, Juan Soto’s quiet big moments, and the frustration around a Mets lineup that still does not look good enough. What should have been a step forward instead becomes another reminder of how much work this team still has to do.

The Knicks dodged a bullet with the OG Anunoby injury. He likely won’t play tonight and may not play in the rest of this series because of how much better the Knicks are than the Sixers.

Yankees legend & Timberwolves Owner Alex Rodriguez calls into the Carton show to catch up with Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle.

The Knicks are up 2 to 0 after doing exactly what they needed to do against the 76ers, but the biggest story is the health of OG Anunoby. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to a gritty playoff win that was not pretty, not dominant, and not comfortable, while sorting through why OG’s injury scare immediately changes the mood around the series.

Evan and Tiki compare this moment to OG’s previous postseason injury against Indiana, debate whether the Knicks can still finish off Philadelphia without him, and explain why his defense, shooting, and clutch impact have become so essential to New York’s championship hopes. They also break down the Sixers’ late-game fatigue without Joel Embiid, the Knicks’ defensive stand, and the Josh Hart three set up by OG that helped turn the game.

OG Anunoby left with a hamstring injury and Gio said they are not a championship team without him. He is very concerned for the Knicks if he is going to be out for the next round.

The Yankees are rolling, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are split on just how special this team really is. After another impressive win, the conversation turns from admiration to argument as the guys debate whether this roster’s depth, resilience and nightly confidence are starting to echo the legendary 1998 Yankees.

Evan wants no part of comparing any early season team to the greatest Yankees club of all time, while Tiki and others see familiar signs in the way this group wins, responds and survives injuries. From Ryan McMahon grinding out a huge home run off Jacob deGrom to the bullpen escaping trouble again, the first twenty minutes become a spirited debate over whether this team is simply excellent or already entering sacred territory.

Boomer is working from home today and we started talking about B&G playing golf at Shinnecock yesterday.
