Episode 71 - Cavs-Knicks Series Tied 1-1

April 21, 2023 • 41 mins
How should we feel about Cavs-Knicks being tied 1-1? Did JB Bickerstaff's Game 2 adjustments solve the Knicks, or will Thibs have a devastating countermove in Game 2? Does it come down to shooting? Will Okoro stay in the starting lineup... or the rotation? One thing is clear, just two games in, the Knicks have not yet provided enough fuel for our sports hate, so we're going to have to expand our horizons at this point.
