That was a nice rebound win. Brunson responded, Mikal steady again, Deuce scorching from three, and KAT dominated on every level! We hit on the Giannis chatter and why the idea just isn’t realistic for the Knicks in a couple of ways, then break down how good their pinch post offense looked with KAT as the hub. We also touch on the defensive issues that still popped up despite holding the Hornets to 104 points.

Rough outing in the worst city in the world. There were a few bright spots, mostly in the first half, but Boston really capitalized on the Knicks’ spacing issues on offense and took advantage of some poor pick-and-roll defense. Speaking of, this was not Mike Brown's best game, lineup wise.

Quarterfinals it is. That was a smart and steady approach to beat the Bucks last night, built around the Brunson/Hart short pick-and-roll. The Knicks kept punishing the Bucks hedges by putting Hart in the pocket and letting Brunson read every tag and rotation. Add in Brunson's big third quarter scoring burst and you get a game where the Knicks controlled the pace and the matchup all night. Tune in and enjoy the show!

Fun! A dominant win in Buzz City! The Knicks put together one of their cleanest two-way games of the season. Hart set the tone in a spaced out, cut-heavy offense, Mikal was everywhere, and Brunson put up 33. We break down how the NYK attacked crossmatches, pushed in transition, and created easy looks all night, plus what’s ahead.

Nice little home win. Ugly first half, but the Knicks locked in during the third quarter. KAT dominated in two-man action with Brunson and Kolek. In this episode, we break down how KAT sliced up the Nets, how his spacing and gravity keep boosting the offense, and why these motion offense sets help Mikal and everyone else.
