Mark and Keith welcome in Knicks Super Fan Greg Armstrong. He's been a season ticket holder since 1991, you can find several pictures of him throughout The Garden, and we discuss his backstory while finding out who he'd like to posterize. Our hosts also recap games 1 and 2 against the Miami Heat and make their predictions for games 3 and 4 before Saturday's afternoon's matchup.

Mark and Keith bask in the glory that is a RD 1 series victory against the Cavs while the Miami Heat stun the NBA world by defeating the number one seed Milwaukee Bucks. The Knicks are now in the drivers seat with home court advantage in RD 2 and are gearing up for a knockdown drag-out battle against an unexpected opponent. To winner goes the spoils and a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. Is Two in the Key the Jalen Brunson of Podcasts? The Knicks weren't this good until we showed up... just saying. LFG!

Mark and Keith gather what's left of their voices to discuss the New York Knicks back-to-back home victories against the Cavs to take a 3-1 series lead in Round 1. They describe the atmosphere, post-game scenes, and overall energy both inside and outside of The World's Most Famous Arena. Also, a dance video featuring our own host Mark Says Hi! has leaked to the media and is running amuck. Could this lead to a halftime performance opportunity at The Garden? And more importantly, do the Knicks close out the series in Cleveland? Bring on Game 5!

Mark and Keith resuscitate themselves back to life after the Game 2 debacle and get ready for Game 3 at The Garden as they unwelcome the Cavs to NYC. After splitting on the road to start the series, the Knicks are in the drivers seat with home court advantage. Key questions: Will RJ show up? Will Quickley show up? We definitely don't have to worry about the Knicks fan base showing up that's for sure. And we say goodbye to our personal sidecar... the blue check mark.

Mark and Keith breakdown Game 1 of Round 1 between the Knicks and Cavs. Then discuss Game 2, the Josh Hart injury, and who needs to step up in order to pull out another victory on the road to start the series. Our hosts also weigh in on the rest of the league series' before their respective ADD kicks in and find themselves on eBay discussing what Eveready Batteries are going for these days. Yes, it goes there. And it's worth it.

Mark and Keith break down the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs. The play-in tournament had its share of surprises. But, now that it over, will round one deliver a similar result? It's the wild wild west for sure out on the left coast, but our hosts are focused on the Knicks and Cavs in the east. Will Randle play? Can a Cavs stellar home record and the best defense in the NBA beat the upstart Knicks who are ahead of schedule with a bench deeper than the Atlantic Ocean? Here. We. Go.

Mark and Keith are joined by pop culture pundit, rock critic vet, and New York Knicks fan since 1961 - Roy Trakin. When he's not writing for Variety.com he's soakin' up hoops. The group breaks down the upcoming Knicks round one playoff matchup against the Cavs but not before Mark and Keith weigh in on the Mavs tank job. Knicks playoff run is just around the corner.

Mark and Keith celebrate the New York Knicks punching their ticket to the 2023 NBA Post-Season with a victory against the Washington Wizards. And with only a few games left, will the Orange & Blue start resting players especially after yet another ankle injury scare with Josh Hart? Or will Coach Thibs keep his foot on the gas as they head into a potential Round 1 match-up against the Cleveland Cavaliers? And Mark let's everyone know how excited he is for The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Keith... not so much.

Mark and Keith welcome Chris Fedor, Cavs/NBA Reporter for Cleveland.com & The Plain Dealer as well as Host at 92.3 The Fan. They break down the impeding Knicks Cavs Round 1 Playoff Series, Cleveland's impeccable home record, and if a better starting five wins out over a deeper bench. Also, our hosts tell the tale of their on-court free throw experience at The Garden following the Knicks win over the Miami Heat.
