On the fifth episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, Geoff and XJ recap the Knicks' loss to the Timberwolves and previous wins over the Hornets, Wizards, and Hawks. The pair debate over whether there is any concern about the Knicks' poor record against the better teams in the league or if their dismantling of bad teams is a cause for optimism. The episode includes a discussion of how Immanuel Quickley could further improve his impact this season.
