In this quick reaction episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan dive headfirst into the NBA's $100,000 fine against the Indiana Pacers for violating the Player Participation Policy in the Feb. 3 home loss to the Utah Jazz. Pascal Siakam was rested on the second night of a back-to-back, with other starters sidelined—despite the league's investigation (including an independent physician) concluding they could have played under reduced minutes. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver didn't hold back: “Overt behavior like this that prioritizes draft position over winning undermines the foundation of NBA competition and we will respond accordingly to any further actions that compromise the integrity of our games.” We break down the fine, Silver's pointed statement, and the glaring hypocrisy—why hammer load management/rest when the league turns a blind eye to foul-baiting stars like Jalen Brunson and SGA, or reckless/dirty play from Draymond Green and Lu Dort that actually endangers players? We get into all of it and tease a little bit around the All-Star weekend ahead. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

the guys break down a Knicks loss that “won't ruin the season,” but absolutely cannot happen against a bad, tanking opponent. They debate Jalen Brunson's late-game hero ball, the missed Landry Shamet look that almost stole it, and how the Knicks left everything on the floor just to go scoreless for long stretches in overtime. Then the NBA drops the punishments from the Pistons-Hornets brawl, headlined by Isaiah Stewart's seven-game suspension, plus penalties for Miles Bridges and Jalen Duren. The key question: how does this impact the Knicks when Detroit comes out of the All-Star break, and why does it suddenly matter for seeding? Finally, the hour turns into Jets draft chaos as Evan breaks down clips from new Raiders head coach Clint Kubiak and owner Mark Davis that hint at what Las Vegas wants to do with the No. 1 overall pick and QB Fernando Mendoza. The guys debate whether the door is even slightly open for a trade, how Todd McShay's take on the 2026 vs 2027 draft changes the math, and why the Jets' pile of 2027 picks makes this a rare “perfect storm” scenario. Plus, the Derek Carr breadcrumbs keep piling up.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO SAY IT BECAUSE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS CANNOT BE IGNORED! This is the worst possible outcome for the New York Knicks to experience right now. Their last game before the All-Star break is tonight against the 76ers and they'll be doing it with a team that will be exhausted! Jalen Brunson dropped 40 and KAT saved the game to keep NY in it going into overtime. But even that wasn't enough to overcome THE NOW 14 WIN PACERS...Brunson said what needed to be said and didn't dance around the issue. Losing against one of the worst teams when you're one of the teams favored to win the finals is not short of an embarrassment... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

The Knicks walk into Boston and flat-out embarrass the Celtics, and the best part might be the meltdown afterward. Jalen Brunson cooks, Josh Hart does Josh Hart things, and Boston bricks everything in sight, but Celtics fans and media still found excuses. First it was the early tip time. Then it was, seriously, the Super Bowl and Patriots fans selling tickets that “let Knicks fans invade the Garden.” The guys break down why the excuses are nonsense, why this February win actually matters in the standings, and how different fan bases handle losses. Plus, the conversation swings back to the Super Bowl fallout with calls about benching Drake Maye, the offensive line getting wrecked, and the “seeing ghosts” line that might have been said before anyone else.

Producer note: This podcast was recorded the morning of 2-8-26 before news broke of Daniss Jenkins signing a two-year standard contract with the Detroit Pistons. After a brief conversation on Super Bowl LX, the guys recap the Detroit Pistons’ 118-80 win over the New York Knicks and highlight Ausar Thompson’s impressive developments guarding against Jalen Brunson. Later in the pod, Bryce and Omari discuss Daniss Jenkins' contract situation and share additional thoughts on the Jaden Ivey - Kevin Huerter trade.

The Celtics got stomped by the Knicks to kick off Super Bowl Sunday, losing 111-89 in TD Garden. It was another dreadful shooting night for Boston, with the offense stuck in mud outside of Jaylen Brown. The defense, sadly, wasn't much better with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart torching them. Chud and Doug break it all down, hit on some post-trade deadline thoughts, discuss the latest Jayson Tatum update, and much more!Follow the show on Twitter/X:@ChuddysCorner@KingChuddy@Doug_Outs@_nickpirainoSHOP OUR STORE at ChuddysCorner.com/storeLeave us a voicemail at ChuddysCorner.comLike, subscribe, and rate the podcast!00:00 Super Bowl Sunday and Celtics' Performance02:53 Offensive Struggles and Key Players05:55 Double Big Lineup: Pros and Cons09:52 Looking Ahead: Tatum's Return and Future Games17:44 Tatum's Progress and Team Dynamics20:22 Around the NBA: Trade Talks and Player Debuts22:08 Tanking in the NBA: Ethics and Strategies26:59 Super Bowl Predictions and Team Performance29:57 Celtics and Patriots: Historical Context and Future Outlook

Tatum is out with Hauser questionable for Boston. Recent Box Score Key Stats Knicks at Celtics 12:30PM ET—NY fell to 34-19 following their 118-80 road defeat against Detroit.

State of the New York Knicks Podcast Episode 489 breaks down an instant classic as the Knicks outlast the Nuggets in double overtime, starting with Jalen Brunson opening the second OT by scoring the first six points and setting the tone, then revisiting the wild ending of the first overtime where New York appeared to have it sealed before a review ruled a loose-ball foul on Mikal Bridges, sending Christian Braun to the line to tie the game at 119 with 0.3 seconds left; I walk through how the Knicks responded in the second OT with an 8–0 run capped by Landry Shamet, followed by a clutch Mikal Bridges three to put it away 130–123, and why this win says so much about the toughness, composure, and growth of this team—click the links below to listen, subscribe, and talk Knicks with me.Click the links below for:

Brad Evans and Pat Boyle chat with Ian Begley on why the Knicks could win the Eastern Conference, the potential risks, and why Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges are one of the league's top duos. They also break down the toughest remaining schedule and the biggest threats to the No. 1 seed.

A wild double overtime night at Madison Square Garden had everything. Late whistles. Missed shots. Big nerves. And a Knicks team that refused to fold. Evan and Tiki break down the double overtime win over the Denver Nuggets and why this one felt different from past seasons. The conversation starts with the controversial loose ball foul that nearly flipped the night and why the Knicks overcame a moment that usually ends in disaster. From there, the focus shifts to the trade deadline chatter and why a game like this makes you wonder if the Knicks even need Giannis Antetokounmpo to compete with the league's best. At the center of it all is Mitchell Robinson. His ability to guard Nikola Jokic in the paint and switch out onto Jamal Murray on the perimeter is dissected in detail, along with why his defensive impact might be the real difference between a good team and a Finals team. Jalen Brunson gets his due for late game poise, Karl-Anthony Towns' bloody toughness moment is discussed, and the roller coaster night from Mikal Bridges is put into full context. Plus, legendary calls from Walt Clyde Frazier add another layer to an already unforgettable night. A reminder to stay calm during an 82 game season, but also a clear message. This Knicks team can beat anyone when it defends like this.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle declare the New York Knicks are a LEGIT championship contender after an electric double-OT win over Denver. Giannis staying in Milwaukee? Carton says it's actually GOOD news for the Knicks. Karl-Anthony Towns gets praised for finally “growing up,” Mitchell Robinson dominates Jokic, and Jalen Brunson proves he's THAT guy.

LA Lakers vs. NY Knicks NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Lakers vs. Knicks Injuries Thiero is out with Reaves and Bronny questionable. McBride is out for NY. Recent Box Score Key Stats Lakers at Knicks 7PM ET— LA improved to 29-18 following their 142-111 road victory against Washington. Lakers shot 61% with 42% from three. Luka led with 37 points with a Triple Double. D'Andre Ayton contributed 28 points with 13 rebounds. LA allowed 44% shooting with 33% from three. NY is 31-18 with their 127-97 home victory against Portland. Knicks hit 48% with 42% from three. Jalen Brunson scored 26 points with three assists. OG Anunoby supported with 24 points with six rebounds. NY allowed 43% shooting with 30% from three.

It's me, State. State of the New York Knicks Podcast Episode 486, Knicks beat the Blazers, and this was a solid all-around team win. OG Anunoby shut Deni Avdija down again, holding him to 0/6 from the field in 5:17 of matchup time, while Jalen Brunson also did his job defensively by holding Toumani Camara to 0/2 from the field in 3:45 of matchup time, showing that effort on both ends matters. My player of the game was Karl-Anthony Towns, who completely controlled the glass and now has back-to-back 20-rebound games, giving the Knicks extra possessions and setting the tone physically. I break everything down on the podcast, so Knicks fans make sure to click the links below and tap in.Click the links below for:

The Giannis trade chatter keeps building, and this segment hits it from every angle. It starts with Robin Lopez saying Giannis “fits” best with the Miami Heat, which immediately sets off the pushback. Do the Heat really want it more, or is that just Pat Riley mythology? From there, Evan and Tiki reveal they made Giannis trade predictions months ago and decide to keep them sealed until a deal actually happens. Calls pour in and quickly turn the conversation to the Knicks' real problem: if you're trading for Giannis, what exactly is “the core” you're trying to protect? Jalen Brunson is the obvious untouchable, but everything else gets debated, including Josh Hart's impact on the locker room and how many key pieces you realistically have to give up. Then it becomes the biggest question of all: can Giannis handle New York? The guys break down his famous “failure” press conference moment and argue that the explanation might play in Milwaukee, but it will not fly here. In New York, if you gut the roster for a superstar, the expectation becomes simple: win a championship, or it's a failure.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle deliver absolute madness on The Carton Show. From an unbelievable Rich Kotite update and hysterical behind-the-scenes coaching stories, to a full-blown debate on Giannis potentially coming to the Knicks and what it would mean for Jalen Brunson and the soul of the team.

On this episode of State of the New York Knicks, I'm back with Knicks fans breaking down another big win, this time over the Sacramento Kings, as the team continues its defensive surge, allowing just 99.6 points per 100 possessions over the last five games, the best defensive rating in the NBA during that stretch, and I highlight Jalen Brunson as my player of the game for his standout performance, while discussing what this win says about the team's momentum, defensive identity, and where the Knicks go from here, so tap in, join the conversation, and make sure to click the links below.Click the links below for:

Munaf Manji talks betting for Tuesday Jan 27th. Tuesday's Cash That Ticket podcast focused heavily on the NBA betting board while continuing an early buildup toward Super Bowl prop markets. Coming off a winning best bet on the Lakers Bulls over, the discussion opened with a detailed recap of recent results and quickly shifted to current league news that could impact pricing and market movement. The most significant update involved Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is expected to miss four to six weeks with a calf sprain suffered before halftime of his most recent appearance. The injury was framed as another setback for a Milwaukee team already derailed by Damian Lillard's Achilles injury last season, with the belief that any Giannis trade discussions are more likely to materialize in the offseason rather than at the deadline, when value would be harder to maximize. Attention then turned to Drew Holiday, with reporting that the Knicks are exploring trade avenues. His two way impact, playoff experience, and ability to stabilize an offense were cited as reasons he could elevate a contender, particularly New York, by easing the nightly burden on Jalen Brunson while anchoring perimeter defense. The episode also reviewed Monday's slate, including Atlanta's home win over Indiana, Charlotte's lopsided victory against Philadelphia, Cleveland's defensive minded win over Orlando, Minnesota's dominant performance against a Steph Curry less Golden State, and Houston's win over Memphis behind Alperen Sengun. Kevin Durant's January production for Houston drew special praise, noting his heavy minutes, consistent scoring, and efficiency across shooting splits, reinforcing his importance to the Rockets' playoff push. Updated standings showed Detroit leading the East with a sizable cushion, while Oklahoma City maintained control of the West. From a betting perspective, Knicks Kings was highlighted as a strong spot for New York's offense, particularly the team total, given Sacramento's poor defensive metrics. Pistons Nuggets was analyzed through an injury lens, with Denver missing multiple starters including Nikola Jokic, leading to an under recommendation based on pace, rest, and Detroit's elite recent defense. Clippers Jazz hinged on Kawhi Leonard's status, with James Harden positioned for increased usage if Leonard sits against a depleted Utah defense. The Super Bowl segment introduced an early prop angle on Patriots quarterback Drake May, targeting his rushing yards over, based on prior playoff usage and similar quarterback production against Seattle's defense. The show closed with a featured NBA prop on Jalen Brunson points and assists, banking on a healthy return and a favorable matchup against the Kings. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Jets are already signaling a major change for 2026, with Tanner Engstrand not expected to call plays and Frank Reich emerging as a veteran option to stabilize Aaron Glenn. Evan and Tiki debate whether Reich is a solid move or just another safe hire, and what it says about the Jets hunting for experience over upside. Then the phones light up with more Sam Darnold regret arguments, including why QB mistakes hit harder than the Saquon situation and how the Giants' draft decisions still haunt them. The hour takes a sharp turn into baseball and New York sports hierarchy as Anthony Rizzo introduces Aaron Judge as the “King of New York,” reigniting the Judge vs Jalen Brunson debate. Plus, the Knicks win again, and the guys tease a hilarious Ryan Ruocco moment that got way dirtier than anyone expected.

NY Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Knicks vs. 76ers Injuries Towns is questionable for NY. Embiid and George are probable for Philadelphia. Recent Box Score Key Stats Knicks at 76ers 12PM ET—NY improved to 27-18 following their 120-66 home victory against Brooklyn. Knicks shot 58% with 50% from three. Jalen Brunson led with 20 points with five assists. Landry Shamet came off the bench with 18 points and two assists. NY allowed 29% shooting with 28% from three. Philadelphia is 24-19 with their 128-122 home victory against Houston. 76ers hit 55% with 34% from three in the OT win. Joel Embiid contributed with 32 points with a Triple Double. Tyrese Maxey led with 36 points with ten assists. Philadelphia allowed 46% shooting with 45% from three.

The New York Knicks may have snapped the losing streak, but the biggest questions surrounding the roster are just getting louder. In this episode of Combo's Court, CP The Fanchise joins the show to break down the growing trade buzz surrounding Karl-Anthony Towns, the reported tension with head coach Mike Brown, and what the Knicks should realistically do moving forward. Topics: - Is trading Karl-Anthony Towns a panic move or a real option? - How much responsibility falls on Jalen Brunson as the team's leader? - Mike Brown's impact so far and what still needs to improve - Whether the Knicks can unlock better chemistry between Brunson and KAT - What a smart Knicks trade deadline strategy actually looks like - NBA Eastern Conference MVP thus far!?

Munaf Manji talk betting for Tuesday January 20th Munaf Manji opened the Tuesday edition of Cash That Ticket with a fast paced review of the NBA landscape, blending recent results with betting context and league wide developments. Detroit continued its strong season by edging Boston 104 to 103, cashing an under Manji highlighted before the game. Cade Cunningham delivered a double double with 16 points and 14 assists, while Jalen Brown scored 32 in the loss. The Pistons improved to 31 and 10, strengthened their grip on the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and moved to 18 and 4 at home, reinforcing their profile as a legitimate contender midway through the schedule. Golden State followed with a 135 to 112 win over Miami in a game that featured the pace and scoring Manji anticipated. The Warriors poured in 70 first half points and finished with 247 combined points, easily clearing the total. Stephen Curry posted 19 points and 11 assists, but the night turned somber when Jimmy Butler suffered a torn ACL that will sideline him for the remainder of the season. The injury halted a strong stretch in which Golden State had won four straight and seven of ten, raising immediate questions about roster direction and how the front office may respond with one of its top players facing a long recovery at age 37. Around the league, Phoenix beat Brooklyn 126 to 117, Philadelphia handled Indiana 113 to 104 behind Tyrese Maxey's 29 points, eight assists, and eight steals, and Dallas dominated New York at Madison Square Garden.

In this episode of Combo's Court, Andrew “Combo” Salop is joined by Coach Nick of BBall Breakdown for an in-depth NBA conversation covering player development, roster fit, and team identity. The discussion opens with Jonathan Kuminga's trade demand and the big question surrounding his future: is he a true star in the making, or a talented player who never fully fit Golden State's system? Coach Nick breaks down Kuminga's athleticism, efficiency issues, shot selection, and why role and context matter when evaluating young players. From there, the conversation shifts to the Knicks, where Combo and Coach Nick debate Karl-Anthony Towns versus Julius Randle, defensive concerns, mindset, and which player has a greater impact on winning. They also examine what's really going wrong for New York, why Jalen Brunson remains the team's anchor, and how coaching, accountability, and roster construction factor into the current struggles.

Send JD a text message and be heard!Great pic @espn @companyadjace @rob.p1156 @thomaswdonovan @cpd94_mk @thedarkknight025 & @chino_bodega are pumped to have #johnharbaugh as coach of the @nygiants with @jaxsondart leading the way.   I don't love him coming off an 8-9 season with the @ravens & never winning a #Superbowl with @new_era8 & no coach has won a SB with two other franchises.  But seven wins in two years will have that effect on Giants fans. HTJ @brianbarnaby @call_me_tca_prez Tommy & @kevdu_theman @nyrangers suck.   30 goals allowed & 0-4-1 since @shesterkinigor went down with an injury.  8-4 spanking by @senators last night.  @gabeperreault44 two goals and the first one was a thing of beauty.  5 wins in 21 games @thegarden isn't going to cut it.  Something has to change. Hope @jalenbrunson1 is ok but @nyknicks can't get blown out in Mike Brown's homecoming to the 10-30 @sacramentokings & now you go to @warriors tonight.  @unc_basketball went flat late and lost @stanfordmbb 95-90.  16-28 from three for the Cardinals is no bueño.  @yankees @mets talk & @maguirexrichman congrats on finding a new home @northwest_missouri_football for next #cfb season.  @paddy_bailey thanks for that video of @elimanning gifting @peytonmanning a collage of all 28 @nfl players that had an interception against him in 1998.@aaronglennoffical had two off him that season.  Still a rookie QB record Peyton.  Colm great #sportstrivia question today.   All sports.

The Knicks get blown out by the Pistons and Evan says this isn't a one-game overreaction, it's a real slump that's been building since the NBA Cup. The effort is awful, the ball movement has vanished, and the numbers are getting ugly, including Karl-Anthony Towns having the worst statistical game of his career and Jalen Brunson finishing with zero assists. Evan tries to calm the panic by pointing out even elite teams like OKC have hit a midseason wall too.
