Knicks + Kidd: A Toxic Combo!

BT and Sal are intensely debating the Knicks' coaching situation, specifically concerning Jason Kidd. A caller emphasizes that the Knicks don't need Kidd's "baggage," questioning his in-game coaching abilities despite the Mavericks' past playoff run. The conversation extends to Karl-Anthony Towns's defensive deficiencies and the Knicks' overall roster imbalances, including Jalen Brunson's defensive limitations and the team's lack of consistent shooting. They critically analyze the prospect of re-signing Mikal Bridges for a large sum, weighing the sunk cost of draft picks against his actual value, and discuss the need for a new head coach who can maximize the team's offensive potential and for additional well-rounded players to better fit the puzzle pieces of the Knicks' roster.

BT and Sal dive into the Knicks' head coaching search, specifically the interview with Mike Nori, and debate whether his quirky "Ted Lasso" personality would fly in New York or if it's just a ploy to entice Karl-Anthony Towns. They then shift to Mets trade targets, with Sal eyeing Severino to bolster the pitching and both lamenting the team's offensive struggles and the historical "ones that got away" like Pete Crow-Armstrong. The conversation wraps with a hilarious recounting of Evan Roberts' ill-fated trip to a Mets game, where he famously ducked a foul ball and brought a portable fan, much to Sal's amusement and BT's exasperation.

Hour 1 The Mets and Yankees are on a roll, with David Peterson throwing a complete game for the Mets. Meanwhile, the Knicks' coaching search continues to flounder, with rejections from candidates like Jason Kidd and public criticism from Charles Barkley. Elsewhere, the U.S. Open starts today, the Pacers took a 2-1 series lead over the Thunder, and an anonymous player poll named Juan Soto the hitter pitchers least want to face in a World Series Game 7. Hour 2 Howard Stern believes sportscasters should normalize saying "penis" on air. In basketball, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns from criticism as the Pacers surprisingly took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals. Evan and Tiki debated the Knicks' situation, while the Yankees beat the Royals with a 5-run inning and an Aaron Judge homer. Marcus Stroman made a rehab start, and the Mets shut out the Nationals thanks to two Brandon Nimmo home runs and a complete game from David Peterson, though Pete Alonso getting hit angered Ron Darling. Finally, Mike Tannenbaum predicted Aaron Rodgers would be irrelevant by Thanksgiving, and Rodgers recently got married privately. Hour 3 Both the Yankees and Mets are hot, building excitement for potential September playoff pushes; the Yankees' post-Juan Soto additions are thriving, while Mets pitching is so strong a caller doesn't want Sean Manaea back from injury. Boomer expects the Braves to heat up but notes Phillies' injuries. In other news, Kyrie Irving defended Karl-Anthony Towns on Twitch, leading to a discussion about "code switching" and whether New Jersey is a "tiny" state. The Yankees beat the Royals with an Aaron Judge homer, and the Mets shut out the Nationals thanks to a David Peterson complete game and two Brandon Nimmo home runs, though Pete Alonso getting hit again angered Ron Darling. Hour 4 The Knicks are still searching for a new head coach, with speculation about player input during exit interviews. A new "Roommates" podcast is due today. Jerry's final update included the Pacers' 2-1 lead over the Thunder, the Yankees' victory over the Royals (5 runs in the second), and the Mets' shutout of the Nationals, featuring a David Peterson complete game and homers from Juan Soto and Brandon Nimmo. Joe Flacco found it hard to believe adults use TikTok. The "Moment of The Day" was a funny caller interaction with Jerry, and Boomer is out tomorrow for a Maryland quarterback event.

Hour 1 The Knicks' coaching search is narrowing, with Rick Pitino emphasizing the immense pressure facing the new hire. Jeff Van Gundy is a strong candidate, while Mike Malone is reportedly out. In other sports news, Pete Alonso homered twice in the Mets' win, the Yankees were shut out, and there's drama with Gilbert Arenas criticizing Karl-Anthony Towns, and a public spat between Sal Licata and Dan Dakich over the Thibs firing. Michelle Beadle was replaced by Stephen A. Smith with little notice, and the Oilers took Game 1 against the Panthers in overtime. Hour 2 The Knicks' coaching situation continues to dominate discussion, with Rick Pitino advising Karl-Anthony Towns to reduce his body fat. Callers drew parallels to the Yankees' successful transition from Buck Showalter to Joe Torre, hoping for a similar outcome for the Knicks. In other sports, the Mets defeated the Dodgers with Pete Alonso hitting two home runs, while the Yankees were shut out by the Guardians. Rick Pitino also weighed in on Aaron Judge, calling him a "Babe Ruth type player," and expressed shock at the Thibs firing, a sentiment echoed by Adam Schein and Chris Russo—the latter misnaming Leon Rose as "Leon Hess." The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Off the field, comedian Jeff Garlin reportedly refused to perform at an event due to an $800 cash dispute. Finally, a caller suggested Juan Soto's improved performance is simply due to him enjoying the game, rather than a Mets/Yankees rivalry. Hour 3 Michael Rubin, CEO of Fanatics, joined the show to discuss Fanatics Fest happening later this month at the Javits Center. In sports updates, the Mets beat the Dodgers with Juan Soto walking three times and Pete Alonso hitting two homers, while Griffin Canning had another strong start. The Yankees were shut out by Cleveland. We heard an uncomfortable clip of Dave Portnoy yelling at Kirk Minihane, and Michelle Beadle reacted to being replaced by Stephen A. Smith on their SiriusXM show. The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in overtime. Off the field, Wayne Gretzky was trying to understand Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club." Finally, the discussion turned to MLB's new rule allowing two ball/strike challenges per team starting next season, with concern that it might slow down games after successful efforts to speed them up. Hour 4 The show discussed the Fanatics Fest event, where everyday individuals can compete against professional athletes, detailing the various challenges. Saquon Barkley made headlines with a surprising comment about a potential sudden retirement. Jerry's final update covered the Mets beating the Dodgers behind two Pete Alonso home runs, and the Yankees being shut out by Cleveland. Rick Carlisle thought the Knicks' Thibs firing as a "fake A-I story," leading to a humorous debate about whether Stephen A. Smith or Chris Russo would prefer to be President or Head Coach of the Knicks. The Oilers defeated the Panthers in overtime to win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The "Moment of The Day" involved Gio mispronouncing "unkillable" as "unlikeable" when referring to BT's podcast. The show concluded with a discussion of the NBA's reaction to the Thibs firing.

Gio was in the news yesterday for calling Karl-Anthony Towns a ‘loser'. Carl Banks went after Gio for the take. He wasn't talking about KAT the individual, he was referring to KAT the Knicks player in the playoffs. Gio said Banks is not very good at media and that was evident yesterday. We talked about KAT's performance in the playoffs and why he was brought in. He had soft moments in big games where they should have gotten more out of him.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the New York Knicks offseason and Inside The NBA moving to ESPN. Bo starts off the show by acknowledging that the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder is set, but he'll be previewing that during Wednesday's show (2:12). Bo brings up an article from The Athletic written about the Knicks right after their Game 6 Eastern Conference Finals loss (3:43), which highlighted issues with Karl-Anthony Towns, specifically with his defensive efforts (5:41). Bo also asks how Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson can be on the court at the same time if they're both poor defensively (17:00). Bo transitions to Inside The NBA leaving TNT and moving to ESPN (18:34), which has Bo hoping ESPN does postgame shows (30:41) and why Charles Barkley is the most important person in sports media (31:30). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving anonymous employee surveys, how to disappear off the grid and how every college student is just using AI (37:47). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time you tried to fight your father.

Tyrese Haliburton is lighting up the Knicks and his stats are impressive, but even he agrees we are cherry picking. Does he belong in conversations with the best point guards of all time? Jalen Brunson has been exposed in this series as a defensive and offensive liability. The offense should flow through Karl-Anthony Towns if the Knicks expect to get a pride win in front of their home crowd. The Knicks can't build around two defensive liabilities, so the only answer for New York is... more Mitchell Robinson? Or maybe they can just blame the refs.

For the first time in 25 years, the Knicks won an ECF game. Karl-Anthony Towns played like garbage in the first three quarters, but then he put up 20 points in the fourth. Has any other NBA player redeemed themselves in a single quarter like KAT did? Tom Thibodeau is being hailed as the Knicks savior for finally using his bench... but would he have done it if KAT and Brunson hadn't gotten into foul trouble? Is Haliburton aura farming? No championship team has lost a playoff game by 40+ points until the Thunder lost to the T-Wolves, so they can't win a championship… or can they?
