The Eastern Conference Semi-Finals couldn’t have started better — and Ra & Al are riding high after the Knicks stunned Boston by taking both Game 1 and Game 2 on the road. In this episode, the guys break down what’s working, how Thibs finally earned some flowers, and whether Jalen Brunson can help the Knicks stay locked in with a true Mamba Mentality.
Ra hilariously shares how he ducked out of a work event to catch the game (and survived watching Game 2 with a Celtics fan), while Al’s got receipts ready for all the doubters — including Thibs haters and Game 2 skeptics. They get into the X’s and O’s, the national reaction, and how a 21–2 run sealed one of the most thrilling Knicks playoff wins in years.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Knick Life Crisis without a Crisis Corner, where the guys sound off on Popovich’s latest move, the Cavs/Pacers dogfight, and whether the Warriors era is finally over.
Tap in, subscribe, and stay locked — because this series is far from over.
