The Knicks should be able to easily beat the Hawks and Bucks but it all depends on which version of the team shows up.

Yeah they are a good team and some of the matchups doesn't work in our favor..... but let's see what happens the knicks offense can get hot with the best of them

I think we'll pull it out. I expect to see our best effort tomorrow and I think we have enough chemistry to beat ATL...

Even if we come out of the East in the cup, which we should, I don’t think we could beat OKC right now. We need more seasoning and one more piece, perhaps

You may be right...However, if Mitch comes back strong- we might be able to pull it off...
I'll tell you this...Kat is official! he's home and has the right mentality.

Gotta stop Traes dimes. He can't have 15 assists. He can score 50 if he wants, it will be an easy W as long as the others are just cones doing cardio

Is Kevin McCullar off injured list?

Knicks don't:

Play good defense
Don't offensive rebound well

So, maybe they win in a shootout. Who knows.
It's 50/50. What mediocre teams do.

If we get swept tonight I’m just gonna say it the 2021 team was better. They at least won a game against the hawks at msg.

Must win. Can't have Trae Young continue to talk **** on our franchise and city even though we've gotten the best of him more than not.

That's a great quote, actually. I don't care what KAT supporters say, they were expecting KAT to play like he did the last couple of seasons with T-Wolves and my stance was that was a weak version of himself. They were not expecting what we're seeing now. Rim protection aside, I applaud him.

I'm getting tired of all this winning. Where is Dave Fizdale when we need him?
