RutgersJetFan Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 That’s an interesting one. Rose is a good guy to have around the young players and he can still score. Smith was useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Team defense night in night out is a beautiful thing and makes it unlikely we are going to get blown out by anyone. Outside of the top echelon teams it means we are probably going to be in every game. What a change from the Melo years. I wasn't sure about the Derek Rose move when I first heard about it but it seems obvious in retrospect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I am happy that my team for once is not the poster child for the very worst-run, bereft-of-talent, leaderless joke of a franchise which every other NBA fan in the league can point to, snigger a bit and say at least we are not the Knicks. Everything else is just gravy right now. I am happy my team is a pain in the ass to play against. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc1 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 3 wins in a row. Currently 6th seed in the East. Better record than Porzinglass and the Mavs 30 games into the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 It is dangerous to get ahead of ourselves but that said, there is nothing terribly scary in the next 8 games. This team could make some hay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 We finally pulled out of last place in team scoring. I'd like to see that trend continue a bit. The shooting feels very inconsistent from one quarter to the next. RJ and IQ need to get their pct. up closer to 50%. Man, if we had a SF who could score (Kawhi, are you listening)...

EM31 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 What is clear from the Orlando result and the Golden State result last night is that we are very much a work in progress. Getting better? Certainly. We can complete with pretty much everyone but there is almost no team that we "should" beat every night of the week. That part comes next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungaman Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 This season, I watch and see close games that the Knicks would have folded up and lost the last couple of seasons. I also see them win in games where they've lost a lead, or the game gets tense with about 5 minutes to go. A lot of credit goes to kids and the coaching staff: they keep the kids focused. A minor byatch: JC, WTF was Rose thinking of when he fouled that guy with less than 4 seconds to go, ahead by four??? SMH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Quickly be another third along with Barrett (20) Is the talent level getting close to what Utah has? Or NJ? I think these 3 together with Knox and Tobin can be a solid group for years.... similar to Boston and Clippers level talent.
