They're too small and Thibs didn't really help the fact. We talk about last night's brutal loss to the Pelicans and more, as the Knicks complete a disappointing first week of the season.

NYY-NYK-MMA Question of the Day: Last Wednesday, Jalen Brunson started in his second consecutive opening night at point guard. Who was the last Knicks point guard to do so? Which years?

Last night, in their first of a back-to-back, the Knicks picked up their first win of the season. It was a 126-120 victory in Atlanta against the Hawks where the offense was clicking on all cylinders. I specifically enjoyed how Thibs coached this one. I thought he mixed and matched lineups well, ran a smooth offense, and had guys passing and in motion a lot more. Brunson got hot as expected, RJ continues to impress early on, and Randle looked great as a distributer, too. All that and more in the latest ep of BD4!

No parades in the streets of Manhattan last night. Boston came to town and defeated the Knicks 108-104 in their opener last night. You have to attribute this loss to three things: foul shooting, duds from the Knicks two best players, and pick-and-roll defense. Porzingis cooked Mitchell Robinson and company. Other issues like size, turnovers, and some questionable lineups came into play. RJ looked great, and so did Quickley, and a few others! We discuss it all.
