Big Knick Energy S2E30 - w/ Joel Jacob (Heat vs The World Podcast Host)
Saturday Apr 29, 2023
Saturday Apr 29, 2023
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.

Have we seen the last of Isaac Okoro in this series with Caris LeVert playing like 3 years ago?
And will point guard, playmaking Donovan Mitchell bring the Cavs to the 2nd round, or is he going to shoot 30 times in a game again this series?

Joe asks Carter a couple questions that were posed to him in the BKE/VSN Fan 2 Fan Twitter space on Thursday afternoon right before recording. 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!!

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.

RIP to The Captain Willis Reed and Special Guest Jace Lipstein - Grungy Gentleman Owner/Creator and Knicks Superfan
Joe (@joeylandolfa) starts with a 2 minute peace about Willis Reed being one of the all-time greats.
He’s joined by Jace (@grungygentleman) to talk about the Knicks current playoff positioning and whether they should be worried about falling to the play-in.
Jace states why Knicks fans (including Joey) should appreciate Tom Thibodeau more as their coach.
They both hope the Knicks and Cavs does in fact remain the first round matchup and actually becomes a rivalry in the coming seasons.
The two gentleman squeeze in some Jets talk and how they both wish the Jets would actually go after Lamar Jackson instead of Aaron Rodgers.
Jace also explains how he is both a diehard Jet AND Giant fan.

Joe Yolk (@joeylandolfa) is joined by James Schiano (@James_Schiano) of Mojo (@Mojo) and the Mets’d Up (@MetsdUp) Podcast to talk about the Knicks past 4 games: including 2 wins against Miami and Boston (WOO!) and 2 losses to Charlotte and Sacramento (BOO!)
The Knicks topics within the games included: Julius Randle being an experience and a roller coaster of a player
They were worse than the Spurs are from halftime of the Hornets game to halftime of the Kings game RJ Barrett improving since the All Star Break at everything except for shooting from 3. IQ’s career game and his exponential rise up the 6th man of the year ballots in the past 3 weeks, followed by him crashing and burning in Sacramento. Brunson, please come back healthy.
JOSH HART TRIED TO STOP THE BEAM FROM LIGHTING, BUT FOX LIT IT UP!
They follow up Knicks talk with what James does with Mojo, The Sports Stock Market App and the different ways it allows for sports gamblers to have less losses and more wins. It has a refreshing version of player props and benefits of investing in players on the app. If they retire, you cash out with whatever is in that player’s account for you!
They finish up with a recap of the Mets off-season and a preview of what to expect out of the Mets new off-season acquisitions and 4 rookies that are expected to contribute throughout the year.

Big Knick Energy Podcast S2E22 - Jonathan Macri of Knicks Film Skool
Friday Mar 03, 2023
Friday Mar 03, 2023
The Knicks are absolutely crushing! They've won 7 in a row since acquiring Josh Hart, who Joe compares to rookie Ben Roethlisberger. They are closing the gap on the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 4th seed in the East, and has huge games coming up against Miami and Boston.
So naturally Joe Yolk (@JoeyLandolfa) has Jonathan Macri (@JCMacriNBA) come on to talk about what Jon's career path was like jumping from career to career, riding the train to NYC from Long Island every day until he met up with Jeffrey Bellone to start writing and inevitably podcasting for Knicks Film Skool.
Joe then asks Jon how is he able to keep up with other NBA action in order to give as much unbiased opinions on the Knicks versus other teams in the league as possible.
After Jon gives his story, Yolk runs a theory by him on the differences between a Met/Jet fan experiencing Knicks success vs. a Yankee/Giant fan experiencing Knicks success.
They finish up going over whether there's a chance the Knicks would be better off in a lower seed i.e. the 5th or 6th seed instead of the 4th seed because of their success on the road this year.

BKE Season 2 Episode 21 - Danny Marang from the Danny and Dusty Show on Portland, Oregon’s 1080 The Fan and the Jacked Ramsays Podcast
Joe Yolk is joined by Danny Marang to talk about what to expect from Josh Hart, both his highs and expected lows we will experience as Knicks fans.
They also talk about what Danny expects to see out of Cam Reddish and Matissye Thybulle for the rest of the season, and if the Blazers will get to keep Jerami Grant or if he will reach free agency.
They finish up the modern basketball talk with Joe asking Danny what is on a team’s scouting report when they don’t see the Knicks too often, which led to Danny giving an impromptu take (bashing?) about RJ Barrett and why he hasn’t been high on him since he saw RJ at the Nike Hoop Summit back in 2018.
Joe gets a quick story about Bill Walton’s time in Portland before his computer is on the verge of dying because his charger was chewed up by his dog.
Recorded Wednesday February 22nd.
