The Giants kick off a new era as John Harbaugh arrives and the guys say the quiet part out loud: this might be the closest thing to a “sure thing” coaching hire New York sports has seen in decades. Live from the Quest Diagnostics Training Center ahead of Harbaugh's introductory press conference, they debate how fast he can flip the culture, what realistic expectations should be for next season, and whether Giants fans should already be thinking playoffs. Then it turns ugly in the Garden. The Knicks get embarrassed again, the boos rain down, and the conversation gets uncomfortable fast: is the Mike Brown and Karl-Anthony Towns relationship already beyond repair? The guys lay out the three options, ride it out, dump KAT, or fire the coach, and explain why none of them feel clean. Plus, fan calls on what Harbaugh means for the Giants and what's actually wrong with the Knicks right now.

The Knicks conversation gets grim. After another ugly loss and boos at MSG, the guys lay out the three options facing New York: ride it out, dump Karl-Anthony Towns, or fire Mike Brown. They discuss whether the locker room has quit, why the KAT relationship feels beyond repair, and how stunning it is that this is even the conversation in January.

The segment opens with a bold declaration that if the Brooklyn Nets beat the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, Mike Brown could be fired almost immediately. The guys debate how real that scenario is, why this moment feels different from past Knicks slides, and whether ownership is nearing a breaking point with a team that entered the season with championship expectations. The conversation quickly turns into a deep dive on Karl-Anthony Towns, his trade value, his on court frustrations, and the growing belief that he is not respected around the league or even fully protected internally. Callers weigh in on whether dumping KAT actually improves the roster or simply removes a problem from the locker room. From there, the show widens to New York sports big picture talk, comparing this Knicks chaos to past transformational hires like Pat Riley and Bill Parcells, and why those moments mattered. The segment also detours into Jets talk, including why elite coaches gravitate toward stability and quarterbacks, and why the Giants job clearly beat the Jets in this cycle. All of it plays out with one major backdrop looming over the hour: the anticipation building at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center as Giants fans wait to hear from John Harbaugh, with the optimism around the Giants standing in stark contrast to the dysfunction unfolding at MSG.

The discussion starts with the surprise firing of Sean McDermott and why, despite his résumé, there has been almost zero immediate interest around the league. The guys explain how teams were already deep into their interview processes, why McDermott's exit from the Buffalo Bills caught the industry off guard, and how playoff consistency does not always translate to hot coaching demand. From there, the focus shifts back to the Knicks and what feels like a deeper problem than wins and losses. Callers and hosts break down the lack of urgency, respect, and cohesion surrounding Karl-Anthony Towns, including frustration with his on court habits and body language. A revealing clip from Carmelo Anthony adds context to the idea that outside noise and “rabbit ears” can derail a player mid game. The segment also digs into where the Knicks slide really began, why New Year's Eve in San Antonio feels like the turning point, and how unresolved locker room tension can quietly snowball. All of it unfolds with a major contrast in the background as anticipation builds at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center, where Giants fans await the arrival of John Harbaugh and a moment that feels stable and hopeful in a New York sports landscape full of chaos.

Hour 2 opens with a bold prediction: if the Knicks lose to the Nets at MSG, Mike Brown might be gone immediately. The guys debate how quick the trigger could be, what a replacement could look like, and whether the Knicks are at the point where you do something drastic or just pray it magically fixes itself. Then the show pivots back to Giants Day with an early Cinco de Luncho: Shaun ranks the five most exciting Giants moments since Super Bowl XLVI, with Jaxson Dart's arrival, draft night hope, and today's John Harbaugh introduction sitting at the top of the list. The building buzz is real at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center as the press conference gets closer. The calls bring heat on both sides: Knicks fans go in on Karl-Anthony Towns and the locker room chemistry, plus a fascinating Carmelo Anthony clip about KAT's “rabbit ears” and how outside noise can wreck a player mid game. The guys also talk about where the Knicks spiral actually began, what's changed in their style and urgency, and why the vibe feels broken. Finally, the Harbaugh optimism gets its first speed bump when a caller brings up late game coaching decisions and blown leads in Baltimore. The guys discuss coaching shelf life, evolution, and why a fresh start can actually sharpen a coach who's already proven he can win big.

The John Harbaugh era officially begins for the Giants today as the coaching carousel spins has Robert Saleh heading to Tennessee and the Bills searching for a new leader. While Indiana celebrates a National Championship behind Fernando Mendoza's heroics, the Knicks are in a tailspin that has sparked Giannis rumors and heavy criticism of Karl-Anthony Towns. Between debating the Jets' next veteran quarterback and Peter Schwartz's fast-food rankings, we cover everything.

The Knicks' freefall continues with a ninth loss in 11 games, sparking trade rumors for Giannis and Gio's criticism of Karl-Anthony Towns. Peter Schwartz's fast food rankings amaze us & spark angry calls. Boomer and Gio debate whether Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray could be in the Jets' future.

Kevin O'Connor is joined by Jason Timpf to check in with unhappy fan bases across the NBA. They discuss whether the criticism of Karl Anthony-Towns is fair and offer solutions to the problems in New York. Then, they break down the root of Atlanta's issues since the Trae Young trade. Plus, what's going on in Los Angeles and can it even be fixed?Next, KOC shares why Collin Murray-Boyles could be the next Draymond Green and why the Celtics-Pistons matchup is the game of the week. Who should the Pistons target before the trade deadline? KOC gives his picks! Plus, is Ja Morant's stock rising? Do the Timberwolves need to make a trade to find success this season?Later, Justin Boone joins to discuss why the Buffalo Bills parted ways with Sean McDermott, recap the wild NFL divisional games and preview the upcoming championship weekend.(0:15) Jason Timpf joins(1:23) Unhappy fan bases: New York Knicks(9:18) Unhappy fan bases: Atlanta Hawks(15:49) Unhappy fan bases: Los Angeles Lakers(25:16) Collin Murray-Boyles = Draymond Green(29:13) Celtics vs. Pistons preview(41:56) Is Ja Morant's stock rising back up?(49:19) Do Timberwolves need to make a trade?(1:06:23) All-Star starters announced(1:10:26) NFL 6 Points! with Justin Boone

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.

In Episode 476 of the State Of The New York Knicks Podcast, we react to an embarrassing loss to the Kings where the Knicks were down 81–57 at one point, Karl-Anthony Towns finished with a pathetic 4 rebounds, OG Anunoby went 0–6 from three, and Jalen Brunson left the game injured, making an already ugly night even worse. I break down what went wrong, why the effort was unacceptable, and what this loss says about the team moving forward—Knicks fans click the links below to listen, support, and stay connected.Click the links below for:

I'm breaking down the Knicks' loss to the Suns with Knick fans on Episode 473 of the State Of The New York Knicks Podcast, focusing on Karl-Anthony Towns' ongoing struggles as over the last eight games he's averaging 17.9 points and 3.1 assists while shooting under 42% from the field and 30% from three, marking the first time since 2018 he's averaged under 18 points and that few assists over an eight-game stretch, plus over the last 10 games shooting just 40.3% in first halves, while OG Anunoby and KAT both went 1-for-4 in the first half and the Knicks generated almost no defensive disruption with only three total steals, all by Deuce McBride, raising serious questions about how OG and Mikal Bridges are being deployed.

State and Knick fans try to make sense of an ugly loss to the Pistons, and I'm joined by the fanbase in real time to break down what went wrong and why this one felt so alarming. State and co talk about Jalen Brunson recording the first game of his career with zero assists while committing multiple turnovers, a clear sign of a stagnant offense and lack of flow, and we dive into the Knicks' defense continuing its historic struggles by allowing 110+ points on 45% shooting or better for the 12th straight game, the longest streak in franchise history. I also get into how the Knicks were physically outworked all night, losing the rebounding battle 44–30, coughing the ball up 20 times, and getting punished by a Pistons team that racked up 11 blocks and 12 steals, while OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns were essentially invisible in the first half with OG scoring just 5 points and sitting at -31 and KAT with only 4 points and a -27, setting the tone for a disastrous start.

State of the New York Knicks Podcast Episode 471 is Part 2 of our postgame reaction to another loss to the Pistons, and once again I'm joined by Knick fans as we continue to unpack the same troubling patterns we've seen all season. I break down why Mohamed Diawara playing only 5:01 made no sense, leaving much-needed energy and athleticism on the bench, and we talk through how the Knicks lost in the same familiar way they've struggled against young, athletic teams, with OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Karl-Anthony Towns all looking a step slow as Detroit dictated the pace. We debate rotations, effort, and what this trend means moving forward, so make sure to tap in and click the links below for the full conversation and fan reactions.Click the links below for:

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.

This morning, we break down a chaotic "Black Monday" as the NFL coaching carousel spins, headlined by the Raiders firing Pete Carroll and the Giants emerging as a prime landing spot for Kevin Stefanski. From Boomer and Gio's "dream team" staff scenarios to the fallout of Russell Wilson's controversial "secret injury" reveal and Joe Benigno's epic rant against Aaron Glenn, we cover every angle of the league's shifting landscape. We also dive into the local scene with Joe Schoen's future, James Dolan's rare appearance on The Carton Show to shut down Knicks trade rumors, and the backlash over "zesty" Karl-Anthony Towns moments after a sluggish loss in Detroit. Plus, we discuss Alex Cohen ditching social media, the Mayor's "affordable" World Cup ticket plan, and a must-hear Moment of the Day PSA from Cam Skattebo.

Jerry's here with Todd McShay's brutal warning to draft prospects about the Jets, plus, the Pistons PA announcer taking shots at Karl-Anthony Towns. We dive into some "zesty" KAT moments.

Well. It's been a week guys. We discuss how rancid the vibes are with our new DurfGPT, which almost sounds like the real Nate, who you know is on his 6-month CWNP-mandated paid Paternal Leave (we are pro-family and actually fund programs in favor of children and families as opposed to funding luxury boomer socialism + corporate bailouts). We also breakdown who from the Timberwolves we're willing to trade ahead of the deadline (spoiler: a lot of them).

JALEN BRUNSON HAS HAD ENOUGH! We all see Karl-Anthony Towns during games pick up fouls early constantly. He's actually on pace to make history in the worst way possible and every time this happens, NY is the one paying for it. Jalen Brunson, being the Captain of the team seeing this from Towns stepped up and called him out for what he's doing. KAT fixing this part of his game will ultimately help NY achieve exactly what they want to, he's too important to the team to ride the bench for fouls. Brunson absolutely did the right thing...

In this episode of State Of The New York Knicks, I break down the Knicks' loss to the Timberwolves during a postgame Twitter Space that I hosted with other Knicks fans. We react to a brutal fourth quarter, where Julius Randle went on a Ju Ju Monster run, scoring 17 of his 25 points in the final period to take over the game. Kat had a monster game, but numbers are meaningless in losses to me. I talk about the struggles on both ends of the floor, including Mikal Bridges going 1-for-6 from three and never finding a rhythm offensively or defensively.
