About this episode

Max and Rich preview Game 2 of the NBA playoffs, discuss clutch players, and analyze the Knicks' trades.

Once Max’s rideshare journey finally got him to the set, we revisit what we saw in Wednesday’s Game 1 (8:06). How did the Knicks’ front office change the trajectory of the franchise through trades? Then, Max and Rich break down the Game 2 adjustments for the Spurs (18:55) and how they avoid an 0-2 hole going back to New York (33:00). Jalen Brunson is moving up the list, but who are the most clutch players in the history of the major U.S. sports (37:25)? Voicemail is now LIVE. Hit us up at (424) 240-8341‬.
