RutgersJetFan 95,691 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 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 post Share on other sites

EM31 10,152 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 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 post Share on other sites

EM31 10,152 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 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 post Share on other sites
Philc1 14,454 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 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 post Share on other sites
EM31 10,152 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 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 post Share on other sites
nycdan 24,339 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 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 10,152 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 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 post Share on other sites

Bungaman 1,525 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 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 post Share on other sites

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. Edited March 1 by 32EBoozer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
