Josh Hart flipped the game on its head, dropping 15 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter after a brutal first half where he had just 3 points, no rebounds, and a -9, while the defense told the real story all night.

In Episode 521 of State of the New York Knicks, I break down how I saw the Knicks smoke the Hawks, and I recorded this one with fellow Knicks fans and Knick fans as we talked through another strong performance. From my perspective, this game highlighted how far this team has come, with Mike Brown officially tying Pat Riley for the most wins in a first season as Knicks head coach with 51, and the team continuing to stack wins in big spots. Jalen Brunson took over when it mattered most, finishing with 30 points and 13 assists, including 17 in the fourth quarter and responding immediately after the Hawks took the lead, while OG Anunoby kept showing his value, now 23-4 when scoring 20+ with 22 points, 2 blocks, and a team-high +10, and with 65 games played he's clearly on track for All-Defensive Team honors. What also stood out to me is how this team is performing across the board with 27 wins against teams over .500, trailing only a few top teams, and holding a 24-6 record against .500 or below teams and 26-22 against above .500 teams, and I get into all of this and more in the episode, so Knicks fans click on the links below and tap in.Click the links below for:

In Episode 520 of State of the New York Knicks, I break down how I saw the Knicks completely smoke the Bulls, and I recorded this one with fellow Knicks fans and Knick fans while we also tapped into some 90s hoops talk. From my perspective, this game was over almost immediately with the Knicks jumping out to a 20-1 start and playing straight lockdown perimeter defense all night, going into halftime up 74-34 and never looking back, and honestly the Bulls roster just didn't have any answers. What stood out to me was Mitchell Robinson dominating with elite efficiency, now holding the 7th most double-doubles in NBA history while shooting 100% from the field, and in this game alone he had 15 points and 10 rebounds by halftime, the most combined points and rebounds he's ever had in a half, while OG Anunoby continued his impact, improving to 22-4 when scoring 20+ by dropping 31 points, 8 rebounds, and putting up a +32 performance, and I get into all of this and more in the episode, so Knicks fans click on the links below and tap in.Click the links below for:

In Episode 519 of State of the New York Knicks, I break down how I saw the Knicks take control against the Grizzlies, and I recorded this one with fellow Knicks fans and Knick fans as we reacted to a game where effort and dominance showed up. From my perspective, the Knicks completely flipped the script by forcing Clayton Jr, Bal, Mashack, and Burton into a combined -70, and it felt like we controlled every inch of the game, especially on the glass where we grabbed 20 offensive rebounds compared to just 6 from Memphis. What really stood out to me was holding the Grizzlies to just 20 total rebounds, the fewest by any team this season and the lowest ever against the Knicks, which matched our own offensive rebound total and shows just how physical and locked in we were, and I get into all of this and more in the episode, so Knicks fans click on the links below and tap in.Click the links below for:

In Episode 518 of State of the New York Knicks, I break down the Knicks vs Rockets game and I recorded this with fellow Knicks fans as we talked through another frustrating loss. During this three-game losing streak, I'm seeing a team with a 126.8 defensive rating, which is unacceptable, and only 35.3 rebounds per game, and knowing the starting five was already at -0.2 before this game, I know it's only getting worse. What really stood out to me was the offense, with the Villanova trio of Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson, and Mikal Bridges taking 16 total shots while KAT only had 4 shots at halftime, and I'm saying it straight up, we are not winning like this and I've had enough of the Villanova basketball. OG Anunoby gave us nothing with 1-6 at halftime and finishing 3/9 with zero assists, no real impact, while Deuce McBride struggled badly shooting 1/9, and even though I give him a pass, it was still rough to watch, so Knicks fans click on the links below and tap in for the full episode.Click the links below for:

In Episode 517 of State of the New York Knicks, I break down the Knicks vs OKC game and how I saw it unfold, and I recorded this with fellow Knicks fans to really talk through it. I don't know what game Mike Brown was playing because it looked like the same plan from the Hornets game, especially having Josh Hart guard SGA the way he did LaMelo, and SGA went 4/6 in just 4:28 of matchup time against him. To me, we lost this game because OKC controlled everything that mattered, forcing us into 18 turnovers, beating us 15 to 4 in fast break points, outscoring us in the paint 44 to 30, and racking up 10 steals, and I go deeper into all of it in the episode, so Knicks fans click on the links below and tap in.Click the links below for:

I get into why Josh Hart continues to start despite being targeted heavily again, as LaMelo Ball went 5/6 with 3 threes in just 3:39 of matchup time against him, while Kon Knueppel also took advantage shooting 4/5 in just over 4 minutes. Off the bench, White added fuel to the fire with 17 points, cooking Hart efficiently and even scoring on OG Anunoby in limited matchups.

In Episode 494 of the State of the New York Knicks Podcast, I break down the Knicks' dominant win over the Philadelphia 76ers and the statement they made from start to finish.

That tells you everything about the ball movement, the unselfishness, and the overall execution. This was a complete team effort on both ends of the floor, and I dive into how the offense flowed, who stepped up, and what this performance says about this team moving forward.

In Episode 493 of the State of the New York Knicks Podcast, I break down the Knicks' tough loss to the Indiana Pacers and what went wrong late. Jalen Brunson shot 7/18 in the second half and 3/9 in the clutch (33.3%), with too many forced shots down the stretch, while Mikal Bridges was 3/3 in the fourth quarter and barely got touches — a clear schematic issue when a hot hand isn't fed. The Pacers opened overtime on a 9-0 run, had eight players in double figures, and their bench dominated 43-18, showing the depth and execution gap that decided the game.

It's me, State. State of the New York Knicks Podcast Episode 486, Knicks beat the Blazers, and this was a solid all-around team win.
