Big game against Orlando-let's recap the ups and downs of the road trip & the consistent struggles of the season that might actually be an issue even when Precious & Mitch return.

Great win in PHX idc, idc, idc who played, It's about process and the Knicks process is on a historical pace. The defense is only showing incremental improvement but what if i told you the best jolt to the defense is Precious returning, not Mitch.

Some takeaways from the last few games against the Nets and Wizards. Don't focus too much on beating worse teams but more so trends and habits the team can carry forward on this daunting road trip. Breaking down the Hukporti / Sims debate.

Bulls loss wasn't fun but not nearly as concerning as the Mikal defensive trend & the lack of physicality & urgency the team is playing with. Oh and by the way-KAT is HIM.KAT is more than even the biggest KAT fan could have imagined him being in this early going.

Time for some concern and the focus is on Mikal and Thibs tight rotations more than it is KAT's defense. Breaking it down.

Everything's fine,,,,yeeeaaahhh ummm.....Knicks still working on some issues but patience is running thin all around. Easy fixes stage still but there's a KAT/Mikal screen problem, there's Jalen not playing well & not making good decisions problem 7 there's a Mikal not getting shots problem, but all the panic mode is about 10 games too soon.

Getting better every day. KAT showed up and showed out! Mikal showing rhythm. Hart beasting, OG Island & going over some of the good adjustments and takeaways that look good going forward.

Celtics are who we thought they were but Knicks are predictably a work in progress....

That lack of depth we keep talking about is an absolute reality for the Knicks now. The problems are mounting up between the lack of bodies, lack of rhythm, lack of shots and lack of a functional shooting form. This early part of the season may prove to be a challenge.

Knicks' depth being tested early in the season but it's an opportunity for a few players, on the team and maybe off the street, to give the team an element that could make them even harder to guard...but maybe harder for them to guard as well.

Helluva pre-season game with a ton of fireworks but the Knicks need to focus on the task at hand. Recapping the game and going over some issues going forward.

Following up on the Jared Russo interview and going over what the changes actually mean to the roster going forward...
