Starting 2026 With What’s Wrong With the Knicks? 3 Losses, Big Questions

The 2026 season starts with frustration as the New York Knicks open the year on a three-game losing streak, dropping games to the Spurs, Hawks, and Sixers. Ra and Al break down what’s going wrong—and why it feels worse than the record suggests. Al goes all in on his ongoing hatred for Joel Embiid, calling out the flopping, the whistle, and questioning how Mitchell Robinson didn’t dominate that matchup. The guys also debate whether Mitch is truly okay after a confusing and frustrating performance. Injuries are already a concern, with OG Anunoby clearly not right—but still being played—while the entire roster looks visibly gassed just a few games into the season. Coaching decisions come under the microscope, with questions about whether Mike Brown is wearing down the rotation too early. Trade season talk creeps in fast: Saddiq Bey rumors, big swings, and the ultimate Knicks fan question—would you even consider OG for Giannis Antetokounmpo? The episode closes with a heartfelt Krisis Corner, as Al reflects on how watching Knicks games hits differently now—balancing late-night losses with life as a new dad.
