Sorry Kolek fans, seems like our boy would have to wait till next year to get consistent minutes as a backup PG. Anyway, the choo choo train keeps on rolling to the finish line and into the playoffs. Let’s hope health is on our side this year. Let’s go Knicks.
I will only cherish the wins and ignore everything else, because that's the only way to survive as a Knicks fan.

he will have his opportunities. He was signed to a historic good deal so at least he will get some consideration in the upcoming years.

Remember when the Suns thought the new owner would make them top tier contenders by trading for the albatross contract of Bradley Beal? Good times...

i would guess, judging from what has happened for quite some time, newly crowned owners like to be more hands on with their new toy until they get fed up with constant failures and then just let competent people run the show eventually

A lot of Knicks fans wanted to trade for him, glad that never materialized. Never saw the hype with him

The more it is starting to look like we have to play Detroit the more we should attempt to relinquish the 3rd seed to avoid playing them.

We're locked to third. I don't see any way around it. Detroit and Milwaukee play each other two times to end the season so it's still a toss up who our first round opponent will be.

Wrights length, defense and ball handling are the perfect compliment to Brunson. And now that he rejuvenated his 3 ball he is an excellent back up point to Brunson.

Im ok with Kolek sitting at this point.

Thibs needs the perfect mix to run that defense of his and Wright is proving to be a key piece.

Y'all sitting here assuming Thibs gonna make the logical move and play Wright. When's the last time Thibs made logical moves without his hand being forced to? He's gonna go with a 7-8 man rotation in the playoffs just like he always does and Wright ain't gonna see a single minute.

This could become a trap game if we decide to take our foot off the pedal.

To go 9-6 without Brunson was crazy!

Welcome back Mr. Clutch! Just in time to get ready for that title run!

Cannot believe a team with Booker and KD coached by Bud is this bad. Should serve as a warning to anyone who wants to trade for that cupcake. Cause I'm sure he has a lot to do with why it hasn't worked out.
