This year we already have Rose. Last year we were waiting to get him.

But there might be something to a Thibs team taking a bit of time to get it together, but it's probably mostly Rose, then other factors like schedule etc, that explain all of the Knicks record later on. Not slighting Randle - his play was a constant all last year. Thinking on what the difference maker(s) in record later on is.

It's more to say, we were pretty much a .500 team last year that just went on a hot stretch towards the end there

Started 25-27

9 game win streak, then 7-4 to go 16-4 over our last 20

So the fact we're hanging around .500 this year means we're about the same we were last year, which is what I expected

However, we were .500 over halfway through the season in at least two of 16, 17, and 18 I believe. So it's just gonna depend on if we can keep pace, go on another win streak, or drop off. I think we keep pace, win about 42 games.

Way too easy. Happy Thanksgiving Knicks fam!


Arethe rest of those hockey guys?

Anyway, sorry RJ and Mike but I'm dining alone with Clyde.

Lmfao knew I wasn't the only one who had no idea who tf any of ghe rest of them were. Clyde and Breen would be priceless to dine with. RJ can pay for the bill :lol: I think RJ would be just as star struck

Breens commentary during Knicks games and his patented BANG! is so damn iconic to me gives chills

None better than NY broadcasters we've had some great obes over the years, Al Trautwig, Gus Johnson, Marv Albert, Kenny Albert

Even spero wasn't bad

Right.

You can tell folks aren't used to success. Get a couple of early wins and immediately start taunting the league.

Defending champs and actual contenders don't even taunt like that lol.

last year mitch started until we were 12-15 and when he got injured and Nerlens took the job it turned the whole season around and we finished 29-16 so that was the biggest difference maker

This year we can get on an 0-9 heater and save the season.

CP3 gonna have a double double by end of the first. But if I had to guess, it's probably gonna be C.Payne that will go off on us.

Anyone know what the injury report looks like? Would be nice to finally be at full strength with Mitch, Rose, and Taj versus the Suns.

They have a top 10 offense and a top 3 defense, their backcourt is probably going to eviscerate ours.

The Dolan curse is actually active .
From game to game not really but
when your starting lineup is the worst in history , that’s a bit strong indication other factors could be at work .

Even now the date , looks more like a foretelling of how the team will look tonight , 11-26.

Yea I know this some hokey **** but I been trying to say the curse was on the back burner but it’s not .
So that’s just a warning .
The bright side is that I feel there some remedy for this Un fortune but the powers that be remain steadfast to their own devices .

Return to New York Knicks
