Summary

The Knicks’ Game 2 win still has New York buzzing, but the conversation shifts from the scoreboard to the ripple effects around it. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the growing concern over OG Anunoby’s status, the debate around whether the Knicks are giving enough injury information, and why his history makes fans nervous even after an encouraging win. Evan and Tiki also revisit the reaction to Tiki’s fiery Joel Embiid comment, including how Philadelphia radio responded after Embiid missed Game 2. Plus, they check their own predictions from the night before, spotlight how close Evan came to calling the final score, and briefly touch on the Yankees’ loss as the night’s playoff drama gives way to a busy New York sports morning.
