Riding the Tidal Wave

from It's a Hard Knicks Life · host Craig Axelrod

Barry and Blanderson chop it up between Games 1 & 2 against the Sixers. They cover all the Philly excuses, highlighting the difference in character between the two squads. Karl Anthony Towns' transformation continues to warm Barry's heart. Blandy is not necessarily saying that he is encouraging physical harm to Philly's big fella, but he is not saying that he doesn't like it either (wink wink, Mikal). They try to unpack how much the convincing win was the Knicks' otherworldly play or the "emotional" and "physical" fatigue (whiners) of Philadelphia; therefore being or not being sustainable. Some carryover voicemails from after Game 6 and a bunch celebrating Game 1's victory. And last but not least: "Around the NBA with Blanderson Hooper." Go Knicks!
