Make that three straight wins for the Knicks! The team is clicking on all cylinders, especially with their offense. We discuss why Thibodeau's halfcourt offense looks a lot more fluid this year, get into the DiVincenzo v. Grimes debate, talk Randle's recent surge, player development, what's next on the schedule, and more.

Easy. Tonight, the Knicks slapped the Wizards around despite a few scares in the middle portion of the game. Without RJ or Grimes, the Knicks got some great efforts from Brunson & Quickley. It was all about the backcourt tonight. Also, Donte DiVincenzo finally did what I asked. We talk about some new wrinkles in the offense as well. And later, we get to some Zach LaVine, as those rumors start to heat up (again). Oh, and this was one of those cup games or whatever.

It was not the smoothest win, but it was a win indeed. The Knicks slid past the Hawks last night in Atlanta, Georgia by two points. Jalen Brunson was fantastic in the fourth and Julius Randle was great throughout the game. We discuss Tom Thibodeau's late-game execution, Mitch's hustle, the second unit's ups and downs, and more, including some unnecessary Knicks drama off the court. All that in Ep. 579 of the show! Enjoy!

Make that three straight wins for the Knicks. Their offense kept it rolling against Charlotte in yesterday's matinee. I am loving what we're getting from each of the Knicks' top guns. We discuss the second unit's high-tempo style, dissect some of the great ball movement & off-ball activity, go over how the Knicks abused the Hornets in pick-and-roll, talk Mitch's role in the offense yesterday, and more.

Wemby who? The Knicks soundly defeated the Spurs last night at MSG, 126-105. They held Victor Wembanyama very quiet thanks to some very physical play by Mitch and Hartenstein on both ends. I also loved what we saw from the bench unit. They're playing up-tempo ball as Hartenstein seems to have developed a great chemistry with RJ and the second unit. RJ's sensational start to the season continues. Will it last? Brunson & Randle also put up two strong performances in different ways. All that and much more in the latest episode of BD4! The Knicks are back to .500!

It's early but it's also the Knicks so it's ok to overreact. Things are looking ugly right now. Brunson looks bad, Randle looks toxic again, and the offense is stale as a result. Have defense adjusted to the way Thibs runs halfcourt offense? We discuss that and lots more in this episode.

The Knicks won last night 109-91 in Cleveland, taking the first of this home & home set. I loved the defense, and in particular how the Knicks were able to take the ball out of Mitchell's hands and force Mobley to make plays in the short pick-and-roll. We also talk more on Brunson & Randle's slow start, Grimes, Josh Hart's quiet start, and more!
