Phil Jackson once said “you get to 40 wins before 20 losses to prove you’re an elite team in the league.”

If it was January 2024, we would beat them.

Tom Thibodeau once said " winning is more fun than fun is fun". :lol:

If we can beat the Celtics without Mitch and OG (probably our best two defenders) that would be pretty crazy. I'd be completely shocked.

3 days rest is sweet, let all mild injuries heal heal heal

Is Huk gonna keep getting increased mins, or is he gonna get DNP-CDs instead, similar to a few months ago after his career game vs the Nets?

Would not mean much. Don't want to get overly excited.

That's truly the best thing about this team. No drama anymore, no difficult characters, no selfish play, no nonsense. Great FO running things in the background and everything calm with great chemistry. Again---great times to be a Knick fan.

That's the right attitude my friend. However, Boston is likely gonna try to make a statement pre all-star break beating the Cavs and us in away games. We will be short-handed. So a win would definitely increase my confidence in potential postseason success.

Watch out Celtics. Knicks got Delon Wright.

Sat, Feb 8 vs Boston

Tue, Feb 11 @Indiana

Wed, Feb 12 vs Atlanta

Thu, Feb 20 vs Chicago - OG probable return.

Knicks will go at least 2-3 while OG is out.
Could go 3-2, 4-1, 5-0 (not likely)

Split 1/2 of Indy or Atlanta, lose to Boston, that's 3-2, that's not bad

The official era of Huksanity has started. KAT/Huk frontcourt looked dynamite. Minor chemistry issues but the defense was beautiful to watch. We going 5-0.

Boston may not be Huk's ideal matchup

What I take from this is, KAT loves his teammates

KAT waited until Sims was gone to make this statement.

Everybody hated Sims.

Huk would be nice if KP plays
