Randle's season last year was not a fluke. Toppin is better than people thought. RJ's defense was outstanding tonight and he hit some huge 3s in the second half. Go Knicks! I swear when I see that guy play I keep getting these Robert Horry vibes. I know he's not there yet but Toppin looks like a good player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if that’s because of young fan preferences, fan preferences in general, fantasy sports, or a combination of all three 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantajet333 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Last nights game was as exciting as it was humbling. At least now they have other scoring options when Randall gets surrounded. The defense isn't sound yet but I imagine will improve. Almost turned it off thinking they wouldn't make a comeback. Putting Obi at the five should happen more often. Stunned how regulation ended. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knicks are going to be an exciting team to watch when they are clicking but there are going to be some excruciating nights if they don't get a guy or two that can slow things down when they are not shooting well, which is what happened to them in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtowinthegame Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I loved hearing the MVP chants for Randal while shooting his free throws late in the 4th after that hard foul by Carter Jr. That Obi Toppin corner 3, D, then breakaway dunk had the place ooing and aahing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might agree with this, but I also think 1) Randle is getting better at handling doubles teams (and just better in general - he’s still improving his game). 2) They now have another guy in Kemba who can get his own shot and bail them out 3) They have another guy who can legit get 20 points any night in Fournier 4) They have moved the ball really well through 2 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fournier seems like the type of stable scorer that the team can lean on when everyone else goes cold like they did against Atlanta. I was not a fan of letting Bullock go but he's clearly a huge upgrade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talisaynon Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Man, haven't felt like this since 93 when I just expected the team to go out there and dominate nightly. Thank God for the Knicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantajet333 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Knicks are soundly beating teams they should beat unlike playing down to their competition not long ago.

Good defensively most of the time. A lot of guys who can get their own shot in a pinch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantajet333 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Knicks are capable of making some noise this year building off a surprising 2020 season. Pressure has been taken off Randall to be focal scorer. When he passed out of double teams shots weren't falling. As long as the ball continues moving good things happen. No longer necessary to keep score around 104 or less to win. Should beat Bulls too. Takes the focus off watching Jets games. Thanks Knicks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungaman Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Last night's game against the Bulls was alternately interesting and excruciating. The effort and concentration was there. This was one of those games I was used to watching them give away at the end: this time we didn't because we got lucky, but the team also didn't commit a dumb foul at the end to give the Bulls the winning free throws - and that is a sign of progress/ basketball IQ. I worry that Mitch is fragile. Barrett is quietly playing well, picking his spots. He looks much stronger than his first two years - maybe just filling out and growing up. I hope Randle doesn't go as many minutes as last year - for his own sake, and because Obi is an exciting and able option. I'm not sure what to think of Burke. DRose and Kemba are a terrific duo. Being ten plus deep is going to wear out those teams that can't field a matching squad. At least they will be interesting to watch, IMHO. BTW, the Bulls are shaping up into a nice team. I'd love it for some the downtrodden franchises to displace the traditional darlings for a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
