What this knicks team has:

-Togetherness. Teamwork. Ball movement. Unselfishness.
-An identity
-Hunger
-Guys who can defend
-Guys who can shoot
-Guys who are tough, gritty
-Everyone has a role, accepts it and fits their role well
-Pretty much all their rotation guys are age 27-30..youngest is McBride, who's in his 4th year with the team
1/11/24 The birth of a new Hal. From now on being less combative, avoiding confrontation - like Switzerland :)

I'm with that.

Keep Luke as the Lead Big, and Play Horford and Queta.
Sit Porzingis. He's not ready for this.

How in the hell can you not at least try Queta for a few minutes and let him bang on the boards? Coaching incompetence on full display here.

He’s not a bad coach. He’s a terrible coach and he has been one since he first stepped in here.

Mazulla’s offense non existence. I hope the new owner will look at this. There is no way i want to see this offense next year. We have ZERO play inside the paint, no **** movement at all. Every Celtic has to create their own offense, **** ridiculous.

It's mismatch hunting or postups. Joe got nothing else if it's not ATO.

Really going to find out what Brad Stevens is worth this off-season. If he lightly re-tools the roster and tries to roll out the same core minus JT then we're cementing a spot on the treadmill of mediocrity for the foreseeable future. Gotta blow this up for picks + young guys on cheap deals. Treat next year as a development year for the young guys and hope for luck in the lottery.
