Summary

Further discussion centered on the Knicks firing Thibs, with Gio arguing it's a roster, not a coaching, issue. Calls flooded in regarding the Knicks and Thibs, with one comparing the coaching search to electing a new Pope. Jalen Brunson notably dismissed a reporter's question about Thibs' potential firing. Mike Francesa and Maddog Russo had opposing views on the firing. In MLB, the Yankees beat the Guardians with back-to-back homers from Jazz Chisholm and Ben Rice, while the Mets lost to the Dodgers in extras despite a late lead, with a Max Muncy homer and a Brandon Nimmo misplay deciding it. Boomer, referencing WFAN's instant reactions, questioned the fate of the remaining coaching staff, including Jalen Brunson's father, Rick Brunson, who is currently an assistant coach.
