103. The Knicks Are in the NBA Finals and Analytics Can’t Save the Cavs

The Knicks are back in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, and LeeJay has some things to say. Will and LeeJay react to the Knicks finishing off Cleveland, the endless anti-Knicks narratives, Kenny Atkinson’s “expected score” comments, Josh Hart’s perfect analytics quote, and why this run is exactly what 2 Dummies That Just Watch is all about. They also hit the Giants extending Joe Schoen, John Harbaugh’s impact, Mets frustration, Will’s MTA rant, and a 1999 time capsule from the last time the Knicks made the Finals.

102. Knicks in Five? Mets Hope, Jets & Giants Schedule Therapy

The boys are back for Episode 102, and this one is all over the New York sports map in the best way possible. We start with some real-life chaos — LeeJay battling the subway, Will surviving the DMV, and the eternal question of how everyone is supposedly broke while every bar and restaurant is still packed. Then Erik, LeeJay, and Will jump into the newly released NFL schedule and do our way-too-early win-loss predictions for both the Giants and Jets. Are we talking ourselves into these teams again? Unfortunately, yes. From there, it’s Knicks time. With the Eastern Conference Finals here, the guys break down why this run feels different, what the Knicks need to do against Cleveland, and whether “Knicks in five” is actually crazy… or just confidence. We also get into the Mets, who have shown some life lately but still have plenty of issues to clean up. Are they actually turning things around, or are we just getting pulled back in? Plus, we close with a fun Mt. Rushmore of batting stances, because every baseball fan has tried to copy at least one weird stance in the backyard. Giants, Jets, Knicks, Mets, subway rants, DMV trauma, and Julio Franco’s batting stance — this episode has range.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2363748/fan_mail/new]

101. Bing Bong: The Knicks Destroy Philadelphia

Editor's note: We had multiple technical difficulties in this episode, but it's all there!  As a result, no timestamps for this one! Coming into this NBA postseason, we all knew there was a lot of pressure on the New York Knicks to at least get to the NBA Finals. And right now, they're four wins away from that after absolutely destroying the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Dummies break it all down.  The Nets secured the 6th pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Brooklyn keeps trying to tank, but it's not working. Is it finally time to start winning some games? Our halftime topic is a funny one: Will reads some FCC complaints regarding Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show.  On the other side of the break, the Dummies break down the situation with the expanded NCAA Tournament.  We also chat about the Mets (twice!) and we get into a bit of the NFL with some Jets news.
