The Knicks are staring at a massive opportunity, and the pressure around this playoff run is impossible to ignore. With home court advantage, a rested roster, and a core built to win now, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether failing to beat Cleveland would be one of the most painful missed chances in franchise history.
The conversation also turns to the Yankees’ offensive concerns behind the plate, the Mets leaning into a youth movement out of both promise and necessity, and whether a trip to Cleveland might actually be the cheaper way for Knicks fans to see the series. Evan and Tiki mix big picture stakes with classic New York sports debate as they weigh what this moment could mean for the Knicks and the city.
