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 co...

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...
