Podcast: Locked On Knicks - Daily Podcast On The New York Knicks
Published On: Sun Nov 23 2025
Description: The New York Knicks hit a crisis point after a demoralizing defeat to the Orlando Magic—have they lost their competitive edge? Defensively exposed without OG Anunoby, the Knicks struggle to contain Franz Wagner’s explosive 37-point night while poor communication and lackluster effort highlight systemic issues. Can Mitchell Robinson, Jalen Brunson, and Karl-Anthony Towns rise to the challenge, or is this roster fundamentally flawed?Gavin Schall spotlights Josh Hart’s alarming negative impact, KAT’s inconsistent intensity, and Mikal Bridges’ limitations as a main option. The episode scrutinizes Mike Brown’s rotation decisions, the fragility of the Knicks’ roster construction, and the ramifications of Landry Shamet’s shoulder injury. Knicks fans will find hard-hitting analysis on the team’s defensive breakdowns, playoff prospects, and what must change for New York to reclaim their “heart of a champion.” Will the Knicks bounce back against the Brooklyn Nets or continue their slide?Timestamps00:00 Knicks' Struggles Demand Urgent Change03:03 Knicks' Defensive Collapse Analyzed09:07 Knicks' Lackluster Effort Criticized12:57 "Wayfair Black Friday Deals"15:27 Knicks' Defense Struggles Without OG17:01 "Defensive Struggles: Knicks vs Wagner"21:32 Knicks Facing Depth, Playoff Questions25:55 Knicks' Offense and Player Impact28:46 "Jalen's Arsenal and Passing Game"31:05 "Josh Hart’s Uncharacteristic Hesitation"33:55 "Monday on Locked On Knicks"Want to talk hoops with us?
