Summary

The Knicks lead the Hawks 1-0 heading into Game 2 tonight after dominant performances by Brunson and KAT in what Boomer calls a warm-up series. We dive into Francisco Lindor’s slow start and odd jocularity before Jerry updates us on the Mets’ 11th straight loss, a dejected Carlos Mendoza, and rumors of a firing with the team already 8 games out of first. Also, Aaron Judge homers in a Yankees sweep of the Royals, plus a tour of the NBA and NHL playoffs. We return to the Mets' crisis and Boomer’s demand for a 7-2 record during their upcoming nine-game home stand.

0:49.6	about Carl Anthony Towns going into the postseason this year than I was last year, and that's because of the
0:55.5	last two games offensively in the regular season that they played, but also since the All-Star
0:59.8	break, how much better defensively he had played without committing dumb fouls.
1:05.4	And I had to give him credit for that because that was the biggest problem with him, was not
