THE CURRENT PRODUCT. modern Knicks
No Randle
No Rj maggette
….
Sweet Jesus the quality of the product.
The ball movement
The shooting and spacing
The unselfishness
The TEAM play
I’m not concerned about win loss in November of year 1 of this iteration.
The future is **** bright without those two bozos handling the ball.
0 concern about Mikal long term btw.
This is a machine..thibs minutes is crazy but he is COOKING.
God willing health, we have a contender for the next 5 years with this core.

Defense will come.
This offsense unless everyone is damn near
completely off (jazz game for example except OG) is a freaking machine.
Do this mental exercise - the games that were close which we lost Atlanta Houston even Cleveland game, **** even the jazz game got to 2 points
9/10 times we would execute much better in a rematch

We will be in the conversation all year. What the team peaks as? Not sure but, there is talent and balance and chemistry and good vibes. I'm here for it. Ups and downs.

You're preaching to the choir brother. I'm all in. We are on the rise and it is about to get interesting. I am entertained.

I was hoping I'd get some neutrals with that one, but getting a fellow Knicks fan is even better

The wolves will be fine but, the Knicks are doomed? Jesus. We are 10-7 and improving. They are 8-9 and trying to figure it out. I do not understand the doom and gloom around here at all.

Just need Mikal to stop turning into Markalle Fultz and fix that damn jumpshot, also stop playing like RJ on defense.

Mikal Fultz is a much more on point diss than Mikalikina.

Re: THE CURRENT PRODUCT. modern Knicks
I wish I could look into another universe with this starting lineup
brunson
mikal
og
kat
precious or mitch
bc the odds are we are going to finish the season breaking tons of offensive records. we'll hold the #1 ortg, and if mikal gets on track, we could hold it with a big margin.
the area of improvement is defense. the question then becomes which has a higher net rating in the nba?
#1 offense
#20 defense
vs
#3 offense
#10 defense
I suspect even when precious and mitch come back that kat will play less at C anyway but the real question I have is if we play him at C for only 20mpg, will our net rating even go down bc we are going to be significantly better on d?

My tongue was firmly in my cheek, thus the … at the end.
If buddy had bothered to quote any of my other posts on the GB they may have noticed that they are all about how when healthy we should be a nightmare matchup for Cleveland or how we should be as well equipped to **** with Boston as anyone once we gel / get healthy.
…or how much a Garland - Franz Wagner trade would suck for everybody else in the eastern conference; I’ve pissed off a lot of Cavs & Magic fans with that one recently lol…
…though I would like an upgrade to Sims to hedge against Mitch getting hurt in the playoffs.

What I also like is that there are no narcissists or flat-out morons aboard this ship. Look at the other rosters and you’ve got a Miles Bridges here, a LeBron there, Kevin Porter in LA, I couldn’t root for Zion or Embiid or Booker or Green or Brooks or Morant or Ball or … for different reasons…

I definitely like the mental stability we have. Doesn't seem to be any gun charges or spousal abuse charges any time in the future. Just Terry Johnson being a cop calling clown who gets himself arrested.

couldnt agree more...
as a matter of fact I think for a new team with our unique dynamics (players) we've had a very god start.
I will not stop stressing how most fans disregard the impact chemistry has on a team. You cant compare us to
these team that are playing with these top 3 records. Those teams have been playing together for atleast 2 years...
If our health comes together and all of our guys are available. We could win it all and at the very least make it to the finals...
