#Big Apple Buckets podcast: Knicks Need Another Shooter

Julius Randle lost a chance to tie the game for the Knicks on Monday. With that said, the Knicks had their chances to beat the Nets. They missed open shots and were forced to have to rally late to get themselves into a one-possession game. Knicks fans were frustrated and rightfully so. This team might need to add a shooter if they want to have a shot at a run and maybe winning a round in the playoffs.

To talk about the heartbreaking loss to the Nets and where the team is at, we bring you a new episode of the “Big Apple Buckets” podcast with Sal Licata and Jerome “The Junk Yard Dog” Williams, featuring interviews with John Wallace and Bill Pidto.
