Hour 2: Knicks Panic Hour: Phil Jackson’s Rule, Pistons Problems, and the NBA’s “Dark Season”  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Thu Feb 12 2026
Description: Are the Knicks already disqualified from being a true title contender? Evan, Tiki, and Sean debate Phil Jackson’s famous 40-20 rule, why the Knicks falling short might matter, and why this season’s parity could blow the whole “rule” up anyway. Plus, the crew gets into whether you’d rather see Detroit early or late in the playoffs, stories from Giants fans traveling to Packers games, and a hilarious detour into the Cashman wardrobe take that may have been “borrowed” by a coworker. Then it’s All-Star Weekend talk and why nobody truly cares about the dunk contest anymore.
