Summary

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the Knicks’ dominant playoff surge and the fallout from Philadelphia after the 76ers were swept away. Joel Embiid’s claim that his season was a success becomes the flashpoint, leading to a bigger conversation about his future, Philly’s broken belief in the Sixers, and why the Knicks suddenly look like a team capable of breaking through. The guys also debate whether Victor Wembanyama deserved a suspension for his elbow on Naz Reid, react to Knicks fans taking over Philadelphia, and explore how quickly the perception of Mike Brown, Mikal Bridges, and the Knicks roster has changed. Plus, Evan processes the Nets landing sixth in the NBA Draft lottery while callers weigh in on Philly embarrassment, New York confidence, and accountability on the show.

Victor Wanbanjama is a very likable guy. I have no ill will towards him.

0:05.8

The hit he had last night on Nasreid that got him thrown out of the game was textbook dirty.

The real question the NBA is going to have to face right now.

0:39.1

And I've gone back and forth on this is do you suspend them for a huge game five?

0:44.9

Because a part of me says, I want the best of the best.

0:48.1

I don't want Victor Wanayama to not play a game five with a series tied to two but then the other part of me says well hold on a

0:55.3

second that's as dirty as he gets if we're following the letter of the law but i out he should be

suspended but isn't there also the history of this meaning what does victor w Yama regularly do?

1:11.6

It's not like Draymond Green doing it.

1:14.6

So your criminal history, put it that way, or lack thereof,

1:20.6

probably helps them from getting suspended.

1:23.6

This isn't something that the NBA has been looking at for weeks or even seasons.

1:29.4

Like, this guy's dirty, he's dirty, he's dirty.

1:31.5

Keep an eye out for him.
