The New York Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals, and their run raises a fascinating team-building question: how did they build a championship contender without relying on homegrown lottery picks? Wes Goldberg is joined by Gavin Schall of Locked On Knicks to break down how New York built its Finals team around Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Unlike past Knicks regimes that chased shortcuts with moves like Eddy Curry, Joakim Noah, Andrea Bargnani and Steve Francis, this version of the Knicks showed patience, adjusted the roster over time and built a real championship formula. Then, John Wilmes of RealGM joins to talk about the biggest NBA offseason questions. What should the Cleveland Cavaliers do after falling short? Where could Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kawhi Leonard land if they hit the trade market? What happens with Ja Morant? And which surprise stars — including Devin Booker, Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving, Alperen Sengun and Zion Williamson — could become trade candidates?

0:00 ... Ross Geiger says hello and introduces co-hosts Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer.  Show #250 is dedicated to Trey Jemison of the Knicks, who wears #50 for the newly crowned NBA Eastern Conference Champs. 1:07 ... Knicks fan World B shares his thoughts on his team making the Finals after a 26 season drought. 2:10 ... World B had predicted the Knicks to make the Finals in his preseason picks and his aim was true! 3:39 ... Ross tees up a discussion on how the Knicks have grown so much as a team. 4:24 ... Bruce is happiest for Knicks head coach Mike Brown who has led the team to record breaking performances in the playoffs.  And they didn't really want to hire him to replace Tom Thibodeau prior to the season but all the other coaches they wanted to interview were not given permission from their teams to speak to New York about the job.   So Brown was hired by default and it was a move that has succeeded wildly. 6:16 ... World B gives Brown credit for retooling the Knicks' offensive system and he reels off the numbers that prove it. 8:47 ... Ross wonders whether the Knicks upcoming layoff (as they wait for their Finals opponent) will kill their great momentum?  Both Bruce and World B feel like the Knicks are sitting pretty.  Ross is concerned how they'll handle any offensive dry spells against the Spurs and Thunder. 13:49 ... If the Spurs beat OKC and play New York in the Finals, Bruce feels like the Knicks will use Karl Anthony-Towns to draw Victor Wembanyama away from the hoop on defense which could allow New York to operate successfully closer to the hoop. 14:48 ... Bruce marvels at how Wemby guards the entire opposing team and how God must be a Spurs fan with Wemby succeeding Tim Duncan and David Robinson as the latest generational big man in San Antonio. 16:37 ... World B reacts to the Spurs big win in game 4 with Wemby leading the way once again. 18:09 ... Bruce points out how Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has struggled offensively against the Spurs and with two key teammates like Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell battling health issues, the Spurs will continue to "throw the kitchen sink" at SGA if they miss more action.  The result will be to wear SGA down and that will mean big trouble for OKC.  Ross adds some perspective to the OKC offensive struggles. 20:11 ... World B explains how the return of De'Aaron Fox has been really important as far as the offense running smoothly.  Ross feels like game 5 is a "must win" game for the Thunder. 22:40 ... Bruce points out that all the NBA awards have been announced except for Coach of the Year and he hopes his preseason prediction of Mitch Johnson winning the award might come true with a trophy presentation prior to game 6 in San Antonio. 24:09 ... The All-NBA Teams were announced over the weekend and the crew does a lightning round commenting on all the members of the first team.  Cade Cunningham, SGA, Nikola Jokic, Wemby, and Luka Doncic make up the first team.  Bruce has a big issue with one of the first teamers. 29:31 ... The All NBA Second team consists of Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard.  The guys wondered if aging Kawhi Leonard can have another All-NBA season at age 34 after this season's great performance. 36:53 ... The All-NBA third team consists of Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Duren.  Duren making the third team could really affect his contract negotiations with the Pistons due to the honor making him eligible for a Super Max contract worth $48 million more than he would have qualified for had he not been honored as an All-NBA performer. 45:16 ... We examine the All Defensive teams for the season.  The first teamers are Wemby, Holmgren, Ausar Thompson, Derrick White, and Rudy Gobert.  Bruce has a summer assigmnent for Thompson. 49:29 ... The second teamers are Scottie Barnes, Cason Wallace, Bam Adebayo, OG Anunoby, and Dyson Daniels. 52:39 ... Final Thoughts: Bruce on how Wemby's main "superpower" cannot be measured by analytics.  World B on how the Orlando Magic's search for a new coach is still wide open with many potential great candidates in the mix.  Ross closes with his thoughts on two former NBA players facing off in an MMA match in Las Vegas over the weekend. 56:56 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye. TRT 57:13           Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

A 16-point Eastern Conference Finals win is satisfying on its own. A 16-point win where Jalen Brunson doesn't need to play Superman is the kind of signal Knicks fans have been waiting for. We're coming off New York's 109-93 Game 2 win that pushes the series to 2-0, stretches the Knicks' playoff streak to nine straight, and puts them just two wins from the NBA Finals.I walk through how the night actually unfolds: a slow start, cold three-point shooting early, and Cleveland's defense keeping things tight, before one swing player flips the floor. Josh Hart goes from early misses to raining open threes, forcing the Cavs to stop loading up on Brunson and giving the Knicks the spacing they need to run cleaner offense. From there, the supporting cast keeps stacking winning plays, with Mikal Bridges staying scorching hot and hitting shots that feel back-breaking, not just pretty.I also dig into the “quiet glue” parts of the win: OG Anunoby's timely buckets and elite defense, Karl-Anthony Towns settling in after a tougher Game 1, and the rotation questions that still matter, including Deuce McBride needing more and Mitchell Robinson's ongoing free-throw problem with Hack-a-Mitch always lurking. Finally, I hit the box score, the key stats, and what has to travel as the Knicks head to Cleveland for Game 3.If you're following the Knicks playoff run and want a fast, honest postgame breakdown, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review.

We talk about Mikal Bridges stepping up once again after his strong Game 6 performance against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with 17 points, 5 assists, and elite perimeter defense on Tyrese Maxey and the Philly guards. We also give credit to OG Anunoby for his efficient two-way performance, adding 18 points while making a major impact on both ends of the floor.

In Episode 516 of the State Of The New York Knicks Podcast, I'm joined by Knicks fans to break down the Knicks taking a commanding 3-0 series lead over the Philadelphia 76ers. We discuss Jalen Brunson's huge Game 3 performance as he finished with 33 points, 5 rebounds, and 9 assists in 38 minutes while shooting 11-22 from the field and 8-9 from the free throw line.

Captain Clutch delivers the biggest comeback in Knicks playoff history!A 22-point deficit with 7:52 left usually means one thing: turn it off and move on. But at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks turned Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 into a full-on basketball fever dream and walked out with a win that lands near the top of NBA playoff comeback history.I break down how the Knicks looked flat for 3 and a half quarters, then suddenly found the defensive edge and offensive clarity to storm back. Jalen Brunson goes into takeover mode, scoring in bunches and controlling the pace like the game is running on his clock. I also spotlight the supporting pieces that mattered when everything tightened up, including OG Anunoby's overtime impact and Mikal Bridges showing up in the biggest moments even after an uneven night.Then I get honest about what still has to improve if this series is going to end the right way. Karl-Anthony Towns runs into a wall against Cleveland's size and mobility, Mitchell Robinson gets targeted with Hack-a-Mitch, and the “rest versus rust” argument feels a lot less theoretical after a long layoff. Game 1 is a thrill, but Game 2 is the test.Subscribe, share this with a Knicks fan who needs to relive it, and leave a review if you like the postgame deep dives.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Tuesday, May 19, 2026 brings one of the biggest nights of the sports calendar, and Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are locked in on everything that matters on Cash That Ticket, airing on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The Eastern Conference Finals open tonight at Madison Square Garden as the New York Knicks host the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1, and the hosts spend the first half of the pod breaking down every layer of this matchup — from the series price, with New York installed as a minus-265 favorite and Cleveland available at plus-215, to the specific game-one angles that offer the most value on a Tuesday tip-off. OG Anunoby is listed as probable and expected to play after missing the final two games of the Philadelphia series with a hamstring strain, and Dave makes the case that his return is the single most important development heading into this series for New York — a player who was shooting over 60 percent on two-point attempts and playing elite defense across multiple positions before the injury. Cleveland arrives with just one day of rest after grinding through back-to-back Game 7s against Toronto and Detroit, and while Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen were exceptional in the series clincher against the Pistons, Dave challenges the narrative around that scoring output, noting that 44 free throws and a desperate Detroit pace created a performance that the Knicks will not allow to repeat. His key play is the Cavaliers team total under 105.5. Munaf leans first-half under and highlights the historical trend of Game 7 teams struggling in quick-turnaround games. Both hosts dig into the Jalen Brunson three-point prop at essentially even money — Brunson is shooting 41 percent from deep in these playoffs, nearly 47 percent at home, and has cleared three makes in seven of his last ten home playoff games while averaging double-digit attempts against Cleveland in the regular season. From the NBA, the pod transitions into a deep and well-sourced MLB breakdown, opening with the Braves-Marlins early game, where Dave isolates Atlanta in the first five innings against Braxton Garrett with Martin Perez creating an interesting matchup for Miami. The Reds and Phillies serve up one of the best pitch mismatches of the week with Chase Burns at his absolute best and Jesús Luzardo carrying an ERA above five — both hosts agree the play is Cincinnati through five innings and nowhere near their bullpen. The Mets and Nationals get a nuanced treatment with Nolan McLean squaring off against Foster Griffin in Washington, with live-game over opportunities discussed alongside a Nationals team total angle. The Yankees and Blue Jays game two offers a favorable run environment through weather and bullpen fatigue, and Munaf and Dave both lean over while leaning toward Toronto as a value side. At Wrigley Field, Jacob Misiorowski and Ben Brown set up one of the easiest first-five under reads on the board, and both hosts refuse to overthink what is clearly a pitcher's showcase through five innings. The Dodgers and Padres conclude the NL breakdown with Dave raising the early-inning Dodgers team total as the cleaner way to attack Griffin Canning's command disasters without committing to a full-game side. Munaf officially closes his best bet on Ranger Suarez and the Red Sox moneyline at minus-128 on BetOnline, with Suarez having not allowed a run in over 19 consecutive innings while Bailey Falter and a Kansas City bullpen game await. Dave closes with two official best bets: Jalen Brunson three-plus threes at minus-102 and the Angels-Athletics over nine, driven by Jacob Lopez's alarming home run and walk rates.

The NFL schedule leaks have Evan and Tiki fired up, especially with the Jets potentially opening against the Titans in a game that already feels loaded with pressure. From prime time complaints to revenge game fatigue, they break down why fans obsess over every matchup before a single snap is played. The conversation also hits the Knicks' wait for OG Anunoby, Jalen Brunson's humble response to being called a star, Francisco Lindor's uncertain injury timeline, and the Mets trying to build momentum before the Subway Series. Evan and Tiki mix sharp analysis with fan frustration as New York sports enters a stretch filled with questions, hope, and plenty of overreaction.

Evan and Tiki dig into two major New York injury questions, starting with Francisco Lindor's latest MRI and why his return still feels far away despite signs of healing. With strength training next and no clear timetable, the Mets may be waiting a while before their star shortstop is back on the field. The conversation then turns to OG Anunoby and Mike Brown's vague update ahead of the Knicks' next playoff series. Evan and Tiki debate whether Brown is genuinely uncertain or simply playing coy, while also reacting to Jalen Brunson rejecting the star label and explaining why his humble, win first mindset fits this Knicks run.

OG Anunoby is back practicing with the Knicks - we talk a little preview for the next series. Max Fried left yesterday's game with elbow soreness. Fried said he doesn't expect to be out long.

The Subway series kicks off tomorrow with the Mets building momentum behind Benge and Ewing. Paul in Yonkers is already complaining about the Apple TV broadcast while callers look ahead to the PGA Championship. Jerry checked in regarding potential LIRR strike disruption, leading into a recap featuring Gary Cohen's call of Benge's walk-off, Max Fried's injury status, and the Cavaliers' OT win over the Pistons. We also covered OG Anunoby's return to practice, Matthew Schaefer's Rookie of the Year win on GMA 3, and Boomer's FDNY award.

James Harden turned back the clock as the Cavaliers took a 3-2 series lead over the Pistons. OG Anunoby practiced with the Knicks. Max Fried downplayed his elbow soreness, Jerry covered John Franco's post-surgery first pitch alongside Carson Benge's walk-off Mets win. We recapped the Orioles' 7-0 shutout of the Yankees, revisited Fried's injury comments, heard Mike Breen's call of the Cavs' OT victory, and celebrated Matthew Schaefer's surprise Rookie of the Year award on Good Morning America.

James Harden leads the Cavs over the Pistons and OG Anunoby practices while we track Max Fried's injury, Mets walk-offs, and the Orioles' shutout of the Yankees. We preview the Subway Series and PGA Championship amid LIRR strike threats and Matthew Schaefer's Rookie of the Year award, then pivot to Francisco Alvarez's surgery, Carl Pavano's divorce, and Aaron Judge's road trip struggles. Between celebrating Jalen Brunson and the NBA's tanking plan, we host young golfers, navigate Gio's softball coaching stress, and debate wine choices as the Braves dominate and transit issues loom.

There may be an LIRR strike that could affect people getting from Long Island to the subway series. We heard Gary Cohen on the call as Carson Benge had a walk off hit, Max Fried talked about his injurt, plus, the Cavaliers beat the Pistons in OT to take a 3-2 series lead. OG Anunoby participated in ‘some parts of practice'. Matthew Schaefer was on GMA 3 as he won the Rookie of the Year award.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber open with the Knicks' growing confidence after taking care of Philadelphia, while still questioning how much to believe about OG Anunoby's injury status. The guys debate whether the Knicks can survive the next round without him and why his availability becomes a much bigger issue if a potential NBA Finals showdown with Oklahoma City comes into view. They also react to the Giants opening the season at home against the Cowboys, debate why the NFL keeps returning to that matchup, and wonder where the Jets will begin their season. Plus, the guys discuss why the Knicks' ball movement has changed everything, how Karl Anthony Towns has become a hub of the offense, and why the team suddenly feels more connected than ever.

The Moment of The Day: Adam Schein and ‘bing bong'. Gio wondered if Boomer is going to watch the other NBA playoff games or get some sleep. The Knicks have a lot of time off now which is great for OG Anunoby.

Logan Murdock, Raja Bell and Howard Beck are back with a late night edition of Real Ones, and get right into Spurs-Wolves and Knicks-Sixers Game Three.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the uncertainty surrounding OG Anunoby's hamstring and whether the Knicks should risk bringing him back against the Sixers. With Joel Embiid's own status in question, the conversation turns to playoff injury gamesmanship, lineup strategy, and how much of Madison Square Garden's optimism should actually be believed. The guys also react to the possibility of Knicks fans taking over Philadelphia before shifting to the Yankees, where Jasson Domínguez's scary injury after a brilliant catch creates a difficult new twist. Spencer Jones now gets his shot, but the question becomes whether Domínguez could lose his opportunity through no fault of his own.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the Yankees calling up Spencer Jones after Jasson Domínguez's injury, and debate whether Brian Cashman deserves credit for handling this moment differently than he might have in the past. The conversation centers on how quickly opportunity can change in baseball, especially when a young player gets hurt while trying to prove he belongs. The guys also dig into Yankee Stadium safety after Domínguez's collision with the wall, questioning whether MLB should do more to protect players from dangerous outfield fences. Plus, they touch on Yankees momentum, Knicks playoff anxiety, possible OG Anunoby risk, and the New York sports memories that still sting years later.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are joined by Ian Begley for a spirited breakdown of the Knicks injury picture, from OG Anunoby's uncertain availability to Josh Hart, Mitchell Robinson, and Joel Embiid's status. What starts as a playoff update quickly turns into a lively debate over sourcing, injury reporting, and how much optimism Knicks fans should really trust. Begley explains why he would be surprised to see OG play immediately but not shocked if he returns soon, while Evan pushes back with his own theory about gamesmanship and postseason strategy. The conversation also covers Mike Brown's playoff adjustments, the feel around the Knicks locker room, Brooklyn's NBA Draft Lottery hopes, Vince Carter representing the Nets, and a nearby fire that briefly made MetLife Stadium look like it was burning.
