Summary

The Knicks opened the series with a statement, and Joel Embiid’s postgame comments only added more fuel to the rivalry. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down Embiid accusing Mikal Bridges of a dirty hit, taking a jab at Jalen Brunson over free throws, and trying to explain away a night where Philadelphia simply was not physical enough. The conversation also looks ahead to whether this series is headed for a quick Knicks takeover or a longer fight, plus how ticket prices and fan demand could turn Philadelphia into another Madison Square Garden if New York keeps rolling. From Embiid’s foul line complaints to the possibility of Knicks fans flooding Game 3, this episode captures the early tension of a playoff series already packed with drama.

1:38.3
