After winning three straight to improve to 5-3, the Knicks drop two games to conclude their homestand. Tom Thibodeau's squad did not show up with much of an effort against OKC & Denver, losing both of those games at the hands of inconsistent offense and poor defense. Julius Randle continues to play at a high level while RJ Barrett continues to struggle.

The Knicks continue to raise some eyebrows early on here in 2021. They took down Trae Young's Hawks at the hands of Immanuel Quickley on Monday and defeat the Jazz with an impressive fourth quarter surge by Austin Rivers on Wednesday. Tom Thibodeau's Knicks have five wins in eight games this season, all coming in their last six. The starting lineup has looked really sharp together while the bench has came through at the perfect times.

The Knicks are remaining strong here to start the season. After a bad loss against the Raptors in Tampa Bay, the Knicks bounced back on the road in Indiana against the Pacers. They are now 3-3 through six games where all but one opponent has been a playoff contender from last season.

After dropping the first two games of the regular season, the Knicks have found a rhythm and collected two wins in a row. Despite the injuries piling up, they dismantle an Eastern Conference powerhouse vs. the Bucks on Sunday and edge out Cleveland on Tuesday. Julius Randle is on a tear, Elfrid Payton has even stepped up, while some of the youths have played their parts well too.

The first two games of the season went pretty terribly. The one glaring issue remained the constant in both games. The Knicks are an incredibly poor team when directed right into traffic by Elfrid Payton. The impact of Immanuel Quickley's injury was felt. Obi Toppin was also announced later in Saturday's game to be out for at least 10 days.

The Knicks concluded their preseason with two very strong games against the Cleveland Cavaliers. On Wednesday they make a remarkable fourth quarter comeback. On Friday they obliterate the Cavs' defense for 48 minutes. Immanuel Quickley may've won the starting point guard spot, Kevin Knox may've found some confidence, RJ Barrett looked great, and above all, Tom Thibodeau had a very strong debut as Knicks head coach. We discuss it all right here while also looking ahead to Wednesday in the latest episode of the pod.

The Knicks have begun their preseason with a split in Detroit. Game 1 looked promising while Game 2 was everything but. Still, there are both positives and negatives to take from each game, as we dive into it all in the latest episode of the pod.

The Yankees remain quiet in terms of making any moves, but Brian Cashman spoke on YES' Yankees Hot Stove the other night to go over a few matters. We discuss that, dive into some Aaron Hicks news later, and then cap it off by making a case for free-agent reliever Brad Hand.
