Just get it all together by the playoffs because they need nearly everyone on point by then because against the best teams playing as inconsistent as they have won't win a series.

23-10 and 4th place out 30...I really believe we have a chance to win it all this year...it will depend on what type of moves Leon
can make and MITCH and how he plays...No team has our leadership-talent-heart-will and BBIQ

Speaking of Mitch, has he been on the bench? I haven't been able to eagle eye the games during these holidays.

11 of the 15 games in january are at home

1 road game in brooklyn so pretty much 12.

should be another great month

Most of the east coast are home games tbh.

Cap...and this is what we need to realize when we play this teams- it doesnt matter that theyre terrible- they have an
extra focus and motivation when they play us because the RESENT that our fans take over their arena's...
there needs to be a "arena effect" stat :lol:

The wizards may have been 5-23 but those two games were like playing a +500 team :lol:

I'm happy we are winning, but can't get hyped about beating Washington twice.

Wins are wins, but let's just keep it chill. This is the worst team in the league.

No, let's NOT keep it chill!

Wins don't only count against the best in the league. ALL wins count, against both good AND bad teams. And home court advantage matters when teams win the most of their 82 games -- again, against both good AND bad teams.

After decades of dysfunction, we finally have a competent front office, a consistent coach, a team loaded with (possibly) multiple all-stars and (maybe) an MVP. We're a top 3 team in the east and finally an elite and respectable team in all of the NBA. That's worth celebrating.

Sure, we're beating teams we're supposed to beat. However, that's all part of the process. Don't discount it.

knick4real cracked the code :nod:

I'll be honest JB...I doubt that the Celtics looked at a Knick team with 10 new players and said to themselves "is this the knick team yall think will challenge/beat us" they've been playing this game their entire lives...they knew we had no chemistry...the real test will
be when Mitch has 10 games under his belt and we play them...

I’m ready to go full homer if we beat them

Likewise. If we beat them, let alone decisively, I'm all in for the Knicks to take it all

OKC is not all grown up "mentally"...If they beat us- it will be because they have more bodies than we do...If they were ready they would have beaten the Bucks. They had the personal and talent to do it...Cant wait for the game...
We still have to beat Utah and their length...

Valanciunus would be better than NOT getting anyone at the 5 and Id happily take him

But the more ideal for what we need is Stewart,Kessler,Richards or Poetl

The most ideal is Mitch coming back and actually STAYING healthy

Since then the Cavs are 17-4 and the Knicks are 18-4

the Hawks beat the cavs two games in a row...unless the cavs evolved mentally since then Stu- I have no fear of the cavs...

If we are playing like we are now WITHOUT a DPOY year level type guy for Thibs system in the middle. Imagine what it would like AFTER....

Interesting note about Knicks winning streaks.

I just did a dive a found out that the Knicks franchise has 24 different instances of 8 games or more winning streaks in their history. Thibs Knicks teams are responsible for 5 of the 24, that's 20% of all winning streaks in Knicks history of 8 or more games are under his reign.

https://champsorchumps.us/team/nba/new-york-knicks/longest-winning-streaks

The longest road winning streak is 13 and the overall longest winning streak is 18.

That's probably the better move

I get that Stewart is a bit better than Precious as a C but at 6'8 he's no bigger. Is he enough of a rim protector?

no, he’s actually trash on defense too

i don’t want players from losing organizations

He is absolutely not trash on defense. You should check your information again.
