It's been a tough season for the Knicks, and while there's still time to figure things out, things don't look great right now. I actually liked some of what they ran last night in Chicago, but there are real concerns with Josh Hart and the KAT/Brunson pairing on the defensive end. We get into all of it — plus, as always, the very calm and reasonable reactions from Knicks Twitter after the loss.0:00 Intro0:29 Recap & Thoughts5:23 PROMO BREAK5:47 Issues At The Point-Of-Attack12:17 Some Good Things Offensively!15:03 Bing Bong Game Ball (Reserves): Deuce16:12 Bing Bong Game Ball (Starters): OG17:09 Time To Panic?19:19 PROMO BREAK20:00 Trivia20:43 Outro*SUPPORT THE POD*https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Carbone-Jr-28Audio

The Knicks fall to the Bulls in Chicago, and we're starting to see some early cracks in Mike Brown's new system. Five games in — new coach, new system, players in and out of the lineup — I'm not hitting the panic button yet, but there are some real concerns.

It's me, State, back with another episode — and this time I'm joined by Knicks fans from Twitter to vent, debate, and break down this tough stretch. The Knicks are on a 3-game losing streak, and we let Josh Giddey drop 32, 10, and 9 on us. The defense? Still searching. The rotations? Still messy.We get into why players are still trying to find their roles, what's going on with Josh Hart's early-season struggles, and why it's time for some accountability across the board.My Player of the Game once again goes to Mikal Bridges

The Chicago Bulls are 5-0 for the first time in 29 years, and this isn't your typical hot start. After a hard-fought 135-125 victory over the New York Knicks, the Bulls are proving they're built differently this season. Josh Giddey nearly notched his first triple-double with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists—all with zero turnovers. Nikola Vučević dominated with 26 points and clutch shooting, while Ayo Dosunmu delivered 22 points off the bench. The team's unselfish play, defensive intensity, and depth are rewriting expectations, even without Coby White and Zach Collins in the lineup. This Bulls squad is competing with heart, moving the ball, and beating playoff-caliber Eastern Conference teams. Billy Donovan's coaching adjustments and the team's chemistry are creating something special in Chicago. Tune in for a passionate breakdown of what makes this Bulls team feel like the city itself—gritty, connected, and hungry for more.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Remember when Rick Pitino told us Karl-Anthony Towns had to slim down to survive the season? Well, Stefan Bondy says the Knicks might be dealing with that same issue — players not fit for their own offense.

Pitino's old warning about conditioning comes back to haunt the Knicks, and Stefan Bondy has the latest on players not keeping up with their offense. Jerry returns with an update — but first, Boomer hooked him, Eddie, and Al up with a Chef IQ oven. Then it's Blue Jays fireworks: back-to-back homers, Trey Yesavage dominates, and Pat Boyle even drops a rap about it. Bill Belichick addresses the ‘fake news,' Deion Sanders dishes out hilarious life lessons, and the gossip heats up — Sydney Sweeney under fire on the red carpet, and a Pittsburgh host goes full nipple-piercing for a bet.
