Are Knicks fans more prone to depression than other fan bases?
Because this is lame
We have no idea if this team is better than last years. They have to prove that. We got a 25-30 game glimpse of what last years team could be and it was best in the league.
I think this team has a lot to work on but hopefully they can figure things by midseason. If not then we make a push for 2026
We had 4 different teams last year. The best version was a 14 game sample and then it was over. All this talk about the best team that never was is funny. We played more games with a broken down squad that kept changing rotations than we did with any other version. They climbed to the 2 seed and a game from the ECF. There was ZERO continuity with this team last season.
We might take a little while until things click but, the ONE constant was the PG. Brunson is the straw that stirs the drink. Perhaps we should stall out on the constant negativity that is based on some mythical dream team that is supposed to be better than the current one. Again, that team people are clinging to played 14 games together. Mid season.
The biggest key to this season is health. That's what we really need to focus on. That's what THIBS should be looking to preserve. We clearly upgraded our defense and talent. It just has to find it's groove and not fall apart again. That is all I am worried about.
