Two huge victories has my confidence a little higher this weekend. The Knicks grabbed a big overtime victory last night at the Fake Garden named after some shitty bank. Randle dominated, the bigs executed well defensively, and I thought the bench was pivotal to the Knicks' success. There were some things I didn't like of course, but we discuss it all right here in the latest ep. of the pod.

Four losses in a row now after getting abused by Toronto. No defense once again without Mitch. The turnovers were brutal. The rebounding killed us late. Thibs made some questionable decisions. This is annoying. But it's exactly who the Knicks are until they get a star. We talk about that all.

The Knicks picked up a pretty big win last night at MSG. It was much needed. Randle stepped up offensively, and the bench really contributed for a second straight night. The defense bounced back, too, despite not having Mitchell Robinson for a third straight night.

This was a tough for me to sit through, especially as someone who has backed Thibodeau this year. I thought lack of adjustments killed the Knicks tonight, as their pick-and-roll coverage was abysmal. Murray torched the Knicks and they did nothing to stop it. I rant.

Madison Square Garden witnessed another bad loss on Wednesday night. The Knicks had no energy against the visiting Wizards. I didn't love the way the defense looked of course, but in this one the offense really bothered me so we focus on that. There were some positives from Brunson and Quickley, but overall, it was a tough loss which only magnified the Knicks' lack of depth.

Another chokejob for the Knicks. They were up nine points with five minutes to play at Madison Square Garden yesterday, but let the Raptors storm back and eventually win. RJ Barrett played well and had the game-saving dunk at the time. Quickley played well too. Jalen Brunson struggled as did Randle too, in the second half. I did not like the way the Knicks ran offense in this game. I thought certain guys should've been featured more, and also thought we should've attacked differently against certain defenses.
