We’re 2-0 and the vibes at New York Knicks are flashing “okay maybe this year”. Here’s what we’re carving up:

1. The Brown era begins With Mike Brown now calling plays, the Knicks opened the season with a 119-111 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. They controlled much of the game and closed with a 14-0 run, even with key guys missing.We break down what’s changed: quicker pace, deeper rotation, guys like Tyler Kolek and Deuce McBride getting more chances and why this feels different.

2. Home opener vs. the Boston Celtics Game two, another win (105-95) with New York exploiting Boston’s rebounding and second-chance points. We go over how the Knicks looked in a rivalry setting, whether the Garden feels right, and how the new pieces are integrating.

3. Spotlight on Kolek & McBride This season feels like it might belong to the younger guys: Tyler’s and Deuce’s energy off the bench. We’ll dig into what they’ve shown so far, what we’re watching, and whether they’re real rotation players or just narrative fodder.

4. Crisis Corner: Rozier, Billups & the wider mess Yes, we’re doing it. A reaction to the wild story around Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups FBI arrests, betting probes, mafia ties. Billups was once a Knick, Rozier’s turbulence create more questions.
