Make that 2-0 in the OG Era! The Knicks win behind some fantastic defense from Hartenstein and OG Anunoby! Brunson and Randle added in 66 combined points as well.

Cue the Merry Knicksmas comments! The Knicks took their Christmas Day game against the Bucks 129-122! It was an excellent display of offense, led by Jalen Brunson. We talk about why the Knicks were so successful offensively, why they had their moments on defense, we get into Thibodeau's lineups, and also a lot more. Merry Christmas! Enjoy the show.

Merry Christmas, Knicks fans! That was a nice little appetizer this afternoon, no? The Knicks were schooled against Milwaukee at The Garden 130-111 in a no-defense showing. Thibs stuck with drop coverage and it burnt the Knicks. Brunson & Randle had little help. All that and more. Let's talk.

It was great to see the Knicks teach little brother a lesson around Christmas time. The inferior NJ Nets took a 121-102 beating on Wednesday. Randle continues to make a case for All-NBA, Donte keeps thriving in whatever role he's asked, and the Knicks played good defense. We go over the Mitchell Robinson news mostly, though, and talk about what it means going forward.

The Knicks were able to spoil Mickey Mouse Night with a win over the Lakers yesterday. Hartenstein's heroics do not get ignored in this episode. Brunson and Randle were great. We also discuss the Knick offense and defense as a whole and what should change in Thibodeau's rotation going forward.
