## Resource

Defector’s resident Knicks fan, Giri Nathan, joins Drew and Roth this week! After dropping Game 3, how is Giri feeling about his team? The series seems to hinge on whether or not Victor Wembanyama is dialed in. Why has his play in this series been so inconsistent? And why has the reffing been so lousy? Then, Giri talks about his experience at the French Open, and reveals his favorite sandwich he had while there. Finally, they open up the funbag to answer real questions from listeners!
