If you had any questions on the Knicks being more than just an average team who will run into a few wins and losses, last night answered the bell. They may not be a powerhouse like Milwaukee or Philly, but they are not much further down the list. Or not as far down as some thought. What an impressive win that was last night against the Celtics. You got excellent team defense, unselfish offense, and some really great hustle plays in this game. The Knicks are good. They are a good, solid team, fol...

The Knicks showed little rust tonight in Washington DC. They may have looked sluggish early, but by the end of the first half they were a rejuvenated team. Thanks to Julius Randle's 46 points and key contributions from a number of guys, the Knicks have now won four straight games and six of seven. We go over the night, talk about Randle's dominance, the hustle down the stretch, the closing lineup, the conference standings, and a lot more!

And that is all for the first three quarters of the season. The Knicks wrapped up their pre-break portion by stealing the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference after a win in Atlanta last night. I must say I was very impressed with their defense which was my biggest concern going up against the Hawks. But they shut it down. We break down the defense, go over the offensive concerns, shower Brunson with more praise, talk some more Thibodeau, discuss the bench unit's revival, and more. NYY-NYK-MMA Q...

Last night, the Knicks took down the Nets and regained bragging rights. The defense was a tale of two halves, but they really did a nice job locking down late. Of course, the story of the night came on the offensive side, where the 'Nova duo combined for 67 points. Let's talk about it.

Josh Hart made his Knicks debut and really impressed in the win over Utah. He brought the Knicks great intangibles, as well as the rest of the second unit. The Knicks played well offensively and got key contributions from a lot of guys down the stretch in both lineups. I liked what Thibs did with the rotation, too, in this one. The Knicks also struggled defensively. We get to it all. NYY-NYK-MMA Question of the Day: Which Knick is top-10 in franchise history in total points, rebounds, assists, a...

The Knicks lost to the Sixers tonight for the first time this year. It was a game I expected to lose as it's difficult to defeat a team three straight times, let alone an elite one. The Knicks ran slow offense, didn't execute their scheme defensively, and I didn't love one of Thibs' fourth quarter decisions. We also review the Josh Hart trade in this one.

For their second win in a row, the Knicks took down the Magic in Orlando last night. You can call it a road win but it was another home game in front of thousands of New Yorkers. The team made key baskets down the stretch and moved it around very well late. I also loved what we saw from Thibs as well. He featured guys the Knicks normally don't and made key defensive adjustments late in crunch time. We also go over RJ's problems, talk Quickley's impressive consistency, LeBron passing Kareem, and ...

At MSG tonight, the Knicks could not get it done in OT despite mustering up a big fourth quarter comeback against the Clippers. Brunson gave his best effort, but the Knicks made a number of mistakes. They didn't take care of the ball in overtime, they were late closing out on shooters all night, and they missed a very timely rebound at the end of regulation. Oh yeah, and they were beat by Paul George & Kawhi Leonard. You know...star players. Tough loss, and a pretty unaffordable one given th...

It was not always pretty -- especially down the stretch -- but they pulled it out and are now just one back from the all-important No. 6 spot in the East.

This bothered me. It was a big loss to the Lakers last night, given the Knicks' standings and schedule ahead. But once again, lacking a superstar killed them. Late-game execution also became a problem with both Randle and Thibs to blame. The defense had some rough moments. We get to it all, and later touch on the OG Anunoby rumors that seem to be heating up.
