    What Can the Celtics Learn from the Knicks?
    Jun 12 2026
    The Knicks continue their surprising NBA Finals run, and Mike and Jim ask a question Celtics fans should be thinking about: what can Boston learn from New York's success? The guys break down the Knicks' resilience, the emergence of OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns' playoff performance, and why Jalen Brunson's leadership has helped push New York to the brink of a championship. They also discuss whether the Spurs' young core led by Victor Wembanyama could become the NBA's next dynasty and how San Antonio's defense has exposed some of New York's weaknesses. From there, the conversation turns to Boston. What separates these Knicks from the Celtics teams that have fallen short in recent postseasons? Does Boston need a major roster shakeup? Should Brad Stevens explore trades involving Jaylen Brown or Derrick White? Could Giannis Antetokounmpo be the answer? Plus: Why the Knicks' playoff mentality frustrates Celtics fans The Celtics' biggest offseason needs Trade targets and roster construction around Jayson Tatum The NBA Finals and the future of the Eastern Conference And, as always, a few completely unexpected detours Presented by the Fan First Sports Network.
