Beating the Nets tonight, the Knicks won their fourth straight game to help them clinch a home seed in the first round. We discuss the good and bad from the game from defense to offense, and first half to second half. Later, we talk playoff matchups and who we should be afraid of and not afraid of.

Trivia: Josh Hart now has the most total rebounds in a single season for Knicks players 6’4” and under. Who did he pass?

Not an ideal ending to this series at all. This is a Marlins team that you really need to be sweeping. However, the Yankees did win themselves another series to make it four consecutive to start the season. We talk offense, pitching, Stanton's continued resurgence, the shaky defense, speed concerns, Judge's slump, a few controversial Boone decisions, and more.

Another incredibly massive win just when I think things were over. The Knicks beat the Bucks in Milwaukee last night. We talk defense, offense, Brunson, lineups, standings, and more. This is getting very interesting, and I am getting excited again and don't like that. Also, OG Anunoby reminded everyone.

Trivia: Last night, Jalen Brunson registered the third-most 40-point games for a Knick in a single season. Who are first and second?

Can't be losing games to teams you should beat. The Knicks did that again last night in Chicago. I think it's all just starting to catch up to them. We talk about the loss, OG's return, some interesting lineup decisions and defensive strategies, the Josh Hart ejection, and more. We also discuss the Iowa-UConn result from last night.

Julius Randle will miss the rest of the season. He won't be back for the playoffs but will instead be getting surgery on his right dislocated shoulder. It's a big blow for the Knicks and definitely lowers their ceiling. We talk about the injury but also break down tonight's gutsy win against the Kings on TNT! Mike Brown brought a blitz on Brunson despite Thibs adjusting lineups in the second half and it amused me. It amused me so much that I had to break down some of it in a mini film session. Enjoy!

You could not dream of a better start than this. What a magnificent way to start the season for your twenty-seven-time champion New York Yankees. The Yanks swept the Astros in Houston this past weekend. A pitching staff many of us were (and still are) concerned about was nails! And the bats, even with Aaron Judge off to a slow start, were phenomenal and timely. So many good things to review. Welcome to the 2024 season. Let's get into it!
