The Knicks opened their playoff series with a statement win, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber could not believe the reaction coming out of Philadelphia afterward. From claims about emotional exhaustion after beating Boston to debates over Joel Embiid’s durability, the guys break down every excuse Sixers fans and media are throwing around after getting blown out in Game 1.
Evan and Tiki also react to the outrageous suggestion that Philadelphia should have rested its starters and essentially conceded the opener. They debate whether the NBA playoff schedule is actually unfair, why Embiid continues to struggle under postseason pressure, and whether the Knicks are finally positioned for a serious championship run as confidence around the team continues to grow.
