Coming up on the show tonight, Woz.

I am live inside of the arena after the Knicks take out the spurs in game one.

0:22.2

We'll break down the game with him.

0:23.9

We have life advice and Evan Wash as well, who is the executive vice president of basketball operations and strategy.

0:30.7

Maybe growth as well.

0:31.9

There's a lot of titles in there.

0:33.3
