The Knicks Are Still Underdogs, And It Makes No Sense

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber shift from the drama of Game 1 to a bigger question: why are the Knicks still being treated like underdogs? Even after another double digit playoff win, the betting market and outside observers continue to doubt a team that keeps responding with toughness, poise, and late game control. The guys dig into the Knicks’ experience edge over the young Spurs, Victor Wembanyama’s fatigue against Karl Anthony Towns, and why San Antonio struggled to get any fourth quarter offense outside of Wembanyama. They also debate whether the Knicks’ defense is being underrated, pointing to how physicality, pressure, and urgency have consistently made opponents look uncomfortable throughout this playoff run.
