Summary

The Knicks dropped a home game to the Hawks in what Gio called "garbage basketball," featuring Jalen Brunson’s defensive struggles against CJ McCollum and a rotation that benched both Brunson and KAT simultaneously. Gio argues the team and Mike Brown got too cocky. Jerry delivers the sounds of the late-game collapse and postgame reactions before pivoting to the news that Edwin Diaz needs elbow surgery and will miss three months. After hearing from Dexter Lawrence in Cincinnati and recapping the NHL playoffs, we wrap up with the Knicks game plagued by the same ugly habits seen during the regular season.
