This week, we get to hear from another great guest, NY Daily News beat reporter, Frank Isola, who has been covering the Knicks since 1996. He shoots me down after I suggest Novak is better than Ray Allen and reminds me that Tyson Chandler didn't fare so well in the playoffs against Bosh. Basically, the reality check podcast.

It was a great week, starting with J.R. Smith's first career game winner in Charlotte. The monster's dethroning of King James and Company without Melo. An ugly but hypercompetitive loss in Chicago and finally a really nice comeback win against a very hardworking Nuggets team with an Italian with a chip on his shoulder.

Jeff Cerulli and I unveil our new weekly Knicks rankings, somehow James "Flight" White makes Jeff's list.
