Summary

Tyrese Haliburton is lighting up the Knicks and his stats are impressive, but even he agrees we are cherry picking. Does he belong in conversations with the best point guards of all time? Jalen Brunson has been exposed in this series as a defensive and offensive liability. The offense should flow through Karl-Anthony Towns if the Knicks expect to get a pride win in front of their home crowd. The Knicks can’t build around two defensive liabilities, so the only answer for New York is... more Mitchell Robinson? Or maybe they can just blame the refs. Plus, the famous Akbar Domestique joins Oddball to talk about the artistry of flopping and helps break down our Iciest Play of the Week. Learn more about your ad choices.
