Knicks Brutal Loss, Pistons Suspensions, and the Jets’ Wild Plan for Pick No. 1  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Wed Feb 11 2026
Description: the guys break down a Knicks loss that “won’t ruin the season,” but absolutely cannot happen against a bad, tanking opponent. They debate Jalen Brunson’s late-game hero ball, the missed Landry Shamet look that almost stole it, and how the Knicks left everything on the floor just to go scoreless for long stretches in overtime. Then the NBA drops the punishments from the Pistons-Hornets brawl, headlined by Isaiah Stewart’s seven-game suspension, plus penalties for Miles Bridges and Jalen Duren. The key question: how does this impact the Knicks when Detroit comes out of the All-Star break, and why does it suddenly matter for seeding? Finally, the hour turns into Jets draft chaos as Evan breaks down clips from new Raiders head coach Clint Kubiak and owner Mark Davis that hint at what Las Vegas wants to do with the No. 1 overall pick and QB Fernando Mendoza. The guys debate whether the door is even slightly open for a trade, how Todd McShay’s take on the 2026 vs 2027 draft changes the math, and why the Jets’ pile of 2027 picks makes this a rare “perfect storm” scenario. Plus, the Derek Carr breadcrumbs keep piling up.
