Big Knick Energy Podcast S2E33 - Spurs Get Wemby, NBA Draft Lottery Rigged?!

Joe Yolk (@JoeyLandolfa) is joined by Project Spurs draft analyst Evan Townsend (@EvanTownsend_) to vicariously enjoy watching the NBA Draft lottery and what Spurs fans are feeling now that they are getting Victor Wembyama. Was the draft lottery rigged for San Antonio? Why wasn’t it rigged for NY to get Dallas’ pick? Does Wemby have any comparisons in the NBA today? Will his body hold up over the course of a 10+ year career? Could the Knicks send the Spurs every player (except our savior Jalen Brunson of course) and every tradeable pick for him in a package?

BKE Season 2 Episode 31 -Lead Miami Heat Writer Brady Hawk

Joe Yolk (@JoeyLandolfa) is joined by @5ReasonsSports lead Miami Heat writer & one of the hosts of the Miami Heat's Five on the Floor Podcast Brady Hawk (@BradyHawk305).

They go over a few narrative topics that both fan bases have been trash talking each other about:

1. Reffing
2. Fans in the opposing team’s arena
3. Why do these 2 fan bases that deep down recognize that these 2 teams are very evenly matched just keep saying “Heat in 5, Knicks in 5” on social media
4. How sustainable is their current level and styles of game play

If the Knicks and Heat traded coaches, what would the result of the series be if everything else was the same?

They then get into game play based talk with the Heat’s 3 point shooting, both team’s health going into game 3, and the potential adjustments both teams can make.

Who is going to win the series from here on out?

And why have both Immanuel Quickley and Bam Adebayo been struggling on offense?

Big Knick Energy S2E30 - w/ Joel Jacob (Heat vs The World Podcast Host)

BKE Season 2 Episode 30 - Miami Heat vs New York Knicks Preview with Heat vs the World Pod Host Joel Jacob Joe Yolk (@JoeyLandolfa) and Joel (@JoelKJacob_) of the @HVTWpodcast deep dive into the upcoming Knicks-Heat playoff series. Joe also throws pot shots at Milwaukee Bucks' coach Mike Budenholzer throughout. The Heat are relying a LOT on Jimmy Butler (not surprisingly). The Knicks have a deeper team and home court advantage. Bam Adebayo is going to run into a couple very large 7 foot problems in Mitchell Robinson and Isaiah Hartenstein. RJ Barrett loves playing against Miami, but nothing stops Joel or Heat fans' insistence that Himmy Butler will get it done.

They have some laughs at the expense of Brooklyn Nets fans (or lack thereof) and talk about the joy the Knicks will bring them and New York City making it to the Eastern Conference Semis. Danny then talks about making the new Donovan Mitchell video, and they finish up talking about their overall excitement for the Knicks closing out Cleveland tonight.

A reminder of Tom Thibodeau's prior post-season appearances and what he has to avoid this year. Can Julius Randle also improve on his previous horrid post-season appearance? If the Knicks and Randle both falter, how loud will the negative narratives be?

They go over the reaction in full hindsight of a season of the Donovan Mitchell trade saga from last summer, and what Mitchell has meant to the city of Cleveland his first season. Does Carter have any regret seeing the player that Lauri Markkanen has become in Utah after the trade? Would the Cavs consider this season a disappointment if they fall to NY? Then they spend the better part of the next 50 minutes talking about all the ins and outs of the playoff matchup. Both Julius Randle’s and Isaac Okoro’s injuries Donovan Mitchell and Jalen Brunson How much better Jalen Brunson has been for New York than expected and the challenges he can pose Cleveland, especially if Okoro is out or limited The matchups that will exist specifically which Evan Mobley versus whoever the Knicks close games with at the 4, assuming Randle misses at least a couple games Carter’s worry of New York’s expected rebounding advantage Darius Garland versus Immanuel Quickley & Quentin Grimes Will the Cavs try to “hide" Mitchell on RJ? The last couple things they talk about are how close both teams are to truly competing for a title and more specifically challenging the Bucks in the next round and in future years And lastly, they finish up with series predictions!!

Big Knick Energy Podcast S2E25 w/ Geoffrey Campbell

BKE Season 2 Episode 25 - Geoffrey Campbell, Contributor to Knicks Fan TV Geoff (@Geoff_boy_ardee) joins Joe Yolk (@joeylandolfa) this week to talk about the biggest news story of the day, Julius Randle will be out at least two weeks with a sprained right ankle.

They discuss what this means for Randle, Obi Toppin, and the Knicks rotations for the last 5 regular season games. On a brighter note, they go into what improvements Immanuel Quickley has made this year and the impact that Jalen Brunson, Tom Thibodeau, and Johnnie Bryant have all had on IQ's game.

They follow up with RJ Barrett's continued roller-coaster of a year and that he has improved at multiple offensive aspects, except for the most casually noticed aspect of basketball which is putting the ball in the hoop.

The last player based topic is what to expect from closing lineups at the center spot for the playoffs between Mitchell Robinson and Isaiah Hartenstein.

Lastly, they close with who Geoff wants to see more between Cleveland and Philly in round 1 and give a quick synopsis of what that matchup would look like. Make sure to like share, subscribe and comment on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Pods, and Podbean.
