Mitchell Robinson’s injured hand takes center stage as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether it actually affected him in Game 1. They point to a couple of small moments where Robinson may have protected the hand, but overall conclude that his limited minutes looked mostly normal and that the injury may fade from the story if the Knicks keep winning.
The conversation also turns to whether the Knicks should raise an NBA Cup banner if they win the championship, and how that tournament could become a meaningful part of their season’s story. Evan and Tiki then react to Victor Wembanyama saying he wants to win for “myself,” weighing whether it was a selfish answer or simply a young star giving an honest but awkward response.
