2026 Knicks Playoff Roundtable w/ CP “The Fanchise” & Jonathan Macri | NY Got Game

The hosts of Knicks Fan TV: The Podcast—Dexter Henry, CP 'The Fanchise', and Jonathan Macri—come together for a pre-playoff roundtable ahead of the Knicks' 2026 postseason debut against the Atlanta Hawks. Despite scheduling challenges and personal circumstances, including Dexter's injury and CP's recent marriage, the trio reflect on a transformative season that saw the Knicks win 53 games and the NBA Cup, despite early struggles and inconsistency. They praise Mike Brown’s coaching evolution, particularly his ability to manage roster adjustments, develop young talent like Tyler Kolick and Mo Diawara, and foster a cohesive two-man game between Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns. The discussion centers on the team’s identity, now coalescing around elite fourth-quarter execution, defensive versatility, and the emergence of Towns as a dominant force. While acknowledging past frustrations with the team’s effort and discipline, especially in losses to the Pistons, the hosts express confidence in the Knicks’ process and readiness for the playoffs. They debate the Hawks as a challenging but manageable first-round opponent, emphasizing the Knicks’ experience, depth, and ability to close games as key advantages. Predictions range from a sweep to a five-game series, with strong belief in the Knicks’ ability to dominate, especially if Towns and OG Anunoby perform at a high level. The episode closes with excitement for the upcoming series, watch parties, and the collective hope for a deep playoff run culminating in an NBA Finals appearance.
