Listen "Knicks Win, But Is Mike Brown's Offense Just Old Wine in a New Bottle?"

Episode Synopsis

BT & Sal dissect the Knicks' home opener win against the Cavaliers, applauding the new commitment to depth and more playmaking from Jalen Brunson off the ball, but asking tough questions about whether new coach Mike Brown's offense truly looks "different" from the past. The hosts are still skeptical of Karl-Anthony Towns' ability to lead a championship contender, prompting a heated debate over whether the Knicks should (and will) make a mid-season push for Giannis Antetokounmpo. They praise the defensive promise of OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges and slam Towns' attempt at a "heroic" but ultimately ineffective return from injury. Finally, they dive into the ongoing NBA gambling scandal, debating if the league's only real deterrent is voiding guaranteed contracts.
