Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the one matchup issue that could drive Knicks fans crazy in a potential NBA Finals showdown with Oklahoma City: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s ability to draw fouls. SGA’s free throw hunting becomes the center of the debate as they compare his whistle to Jalen Brunson’s and ask why one star gets to the line so much more than the other.The conversation turns into a larger look at how officiating could shape the series, why foul trouble may be just as dangerous as the points SGA scores at the line, and whether Knicks fans should actually want the Thunder because beating the defending champs would silence every critic. Evan and Tiki also weigh the appeal of facing Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, while making the case that any championship path is valid if the Knicks finish the job.
