Summary

Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash explain why this postseason feels like a massive opportunity for the Knicks as they head into a second round showdown with the Sixers. The guys debate whether the Eastern Conference is as open as it has ever been, why this could be the Knicks best path to the NBA Finals, and the troubling playoff trend New York has faced when entering a series with home court advantage. Evan and Shaun also continue celebrating the life and legacy of John Sterling with more iconic Yankees calls including Raul Ibanez’s unforgettable postseason heroics. Plus, they discuss Anthony Volpe being sent back to the minors, whether the Yankees should develop him into a utility player, and how playoff belief can completely transform a fan base overnight.
