Jalen Brunson Criticism, Devils GM Interview & Yankees Debate | Don, Hahn, & Rosenberg – 4/21/26
Don, Hahn & Rosenberg react to a brutal night for the New York Knicks, who collapsed in the 4th quarter against the Atlanta Hawks to even the series 1-1. The guys debate whether this is a sign the Knicks are repeating past mistakes, with criticism aimed at Jalen Brunson for not getting Karl-Anthony Towns more involved. Are the Knicks really a championship-caliber team, or was this loss the wake-up call they needed?
The conversation continues with strong reactions from fans, questions about late-game execution, and whether coaching adjustments should have been made. There’s also discussion about the growing commercialization outside Madison Square Garden and how the Knicks need to respond moving forward as the series shifts to Atlanta.
Later in the show, New Jersey Devils GM Sunny Mehta joins to talk about his unique path from analytics in poker and trading to the National Hockey League, and what it means to lead the team he grew up rooting for.
Plus, the guys dive into whether the New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox rivalry is losing its edge, along with updates on Juan Soto and Edwin Díaz. The show wraps with headline reactions, including comments from Mike Vrabel, Mike Tomlin’s reported move to NBC, and Billy Donovan stepping down.
