Summary

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber get swept into NBA Finals anticipation as the Knicks prepare for Game 1 against the Spurs. The conversation starts with an addictive basketball roster building game, but quickly turns to Jalen Brunson’s press conference voice and whether his congestion is anything for Knicks fans to worry about. Evan and Tiki debate whether Brunson sounds sick or simply bothered by allergies, react to Kevin Garnett’s animated breakdown of the Knicks facing Victor Wembanyama and San Antonio, and laugh through the chaos of callers, funeral excuses, and Finals nerves. It is playoff anxiety, sharp Knicks talk, and classic sports radio distraction all rolled into one.
