Episode Description

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Knicks’ collapse against the Atlanta Hawks after blowing a double-digit lead in Game 2, breaking down whether the Hawks and CJ McCollum’s clutch late-game shot-making can actually swing the series and the NFL Draft.

The New York Knicks suffered a tough 107-106 loss to the Atlanta Hawks last night, blowing a double-digit lead in Game 2 of their playoff series. CJ McCollum led Atlanta with 32 points and hit the go-ahead shot late, while Jalen Brunson paced New York with 29. The Knicks controlled most of the game but struggled badly in the fourth quarter, getting outscored 28-15 and shooting poorly down the stretch. A missed buzzer-beater sealed the loss, evening the series 1-1 as it shifts to Atlanta. Can the Hawks win this series?

Since it's NFL Draft week, do you believe Alabama QB Ty Simpson is a 1st round pick? Will the Washington Commanders get Jeremiah Love?
