Did you see anything interesting in the plus minus stats for the game I’m just curious


Actually thanks,
Hopefully everybody see it. Bring no d and bring no offense. But I ain’t mad and all I say is hopefully better play next time.
But I do want to show is how these dudes can’t come at me all out of pocket once every 3 games when their guy show up . They quiet now , I understand , but I’m not taking shots. We need everybody to play at teams highest level .

Chances are he beat up that kid as well and will face consequences for those actions too.

1) Randle's track record is to sh*t the bed in the playoffs;
2) Brunson is already showing signs of the well-documented Thibs-Burnout effect;
3) Thibs' very established track record is to burn out his best players in the regular season so they're banged up and underperform in the post-season;
4) Leon's track record is to respond to a first-round exit with Kemba Walker & Evan Fournier.
5) Home court or not, Donovan Mitchell will be the best player on the court in that first-round series just like Trae Young was two years ago. Epic series incoming, but idk if we're the favorites quite yet.

But on the positive side, it seems clear that the expectation has gone from Play-In -> Playoffs -> First Round Exit -> Second Round difficult out. I don't see us beating Milwaukee, Boston, or Philly in a 7-game series, but I sure as sh*t would love to watch us try.


is adult-in-the-room caution a euphemism for traumatized knicks fan?

1) small sample size
2) season is long players get nicked up. we have a solid player in IQ to step up incase Brunson needs rest.
3) Thibs also lost to better teams in the playoffs. he can't be expected to turn water into wine.
4) I see no problem with the Fourni3r signing whatsoever
5) Brunson outplayed Donovan last year in their series no reason he can't do it again this year.
6) I get that it's easier to be cautious or whatever but ultimately this is entertainment and means nothing though we do invest a lot of time in it. but I'm going to have some fun considering we spend the majority of our time watching horrible basketball with lil to no hope.

PTKFD for sure, but also 30+ years of watching closely makes it harder to pull the wool over my eyes with Leon taking shortcuts and Thibs running a regular-season iso, iso, and more iso offense. So much to be excited about, but the warning signs are also there.

I for one won’t throw a tantrum when the high-usage, short rotation, regular-season iso offense + lack of top-end talent is exposed by Allen, Mobley, and Okongwu collapsing the paint. Nor will I be surprised if/when Leon whiffs on a godfather trade and pulls another fugaze Kemba-Fournier off-season PR stunt.

Beyond post-traumatic Knick fan disorder, I personally have been frustrated for decades at the squandered opportunity to make the Knicks an annual powerhouse based on our unparalleled fanbase, home court, and brand. These jokers want a parade for making the first round when we should have had multiple championships by now.

That said, I hear you. Life is short and we are all certainly entertained. The IQ-Hart-Squared bench mob in particular has me enjoying games like I haven’t since Clinton was in White House.

Ah, the smell of sweet victory. This team is impressive when Randle is on his game. And the addition of hart is what dreams are made of. Not only did he bring his great game with him, but I believe he's been able to light a fire under this team with his 'we're not going to lose if I can help it' attitude. What a great trade by Leon.

Our confidence is through the roof right now.

Stumbling, loses the ball twice, makes you go 'ah sh*t here we go again' and then pulls off that circus ass shot


Randle went from (scape)goat to GOAT in 30 seconds.

I just have no idea who he was trying to critique.
Mitch? Not his best outing, but effective enough.
Grimes? When his offense isn't going he still plays on defense.
Crowd? We had 1/2 the fans there.

He's not an elephant.
He's not gonna bash Mitch or Grimes?
Crowd = those of us who bust his balls...but that's ok even though he hates me. He won't hold me against them.

That's the best I could do.
