Anyway, after all the negativity of the last few seasons, the off season, the preseason, and the first couple of games, it is terrific to be psyched about a Knicks game. Screw tanking! A win tonight would be a great bump. I'm sure this team has some inconsistency ahead (at best) but it would be great to have meaningful games while watching a team grow. I first became a Knicks fan in the early 80s -- the day I moved to NYC was same day as the Michael Ray "The Ship Be Sinking" headline. I cheered Ken the Animal and Eddie Lee Wilkins from the Blue nosebleeds at MSG. I'll say it again -- screw tanking!

Look forward to being part of this board :)

welcome, man. and leave realgm a**holes alone :)

Rebecca asked KP how he managed a game like that, and KP says, "I should have gotten more rebounds" and the MSG crowd erupts. He gets it.

It's only been 6 games
But KP is playing like a legit MVP candidate
Second to Giannis
I don't think he can keep this up all season
However wow is right

Dude has gone from a fringe all star to a superstar in one summer
He looks so smooth and composed out there almost at ease that he can shoot over everyone

He did a really crappy diva like move in skipping the exit meeting
But he's also backing it up now

KP is legit

And Phil wanted to trade him on Draft Night! Dooooooon't!!!!

Phil wanted to make sure the kid knew his place
The trade talk probably fueled KP even more to be great
If they were really serious about dealing him, he would be gone by now

Great, great win. Denver hit back hard in the 3rd and had all the momentum. The Knicks pushed back hard, Hardaway got hot and gave them a huge boost when they were dead in the water.

Good news is that they're trending UP! They've been playing at a higher efficiency last 3 games. Hopefully they keep it up.

Hello there. Welcome to Knicks hell.

Learned something new from Horny. Defenders are fouling KP in the mid range going to his legs. Refs gotta call those
WaltLongmire @ 10/30/2017 10:16 PM
Back to back wins...and we looked like we might crumble but fought back. Denver came from behind to beat the Nets yesterday...looked bad for a time.

Seems like these guys are not buying into the tank thing, are they?

As some have said...KP looking like a top 5 player already, and he still has a lot of room to improve.

KOQ going to make it pretty hard for Willy to play, and if we play well enough, trade away at the trade deadline, which a lot of us figured would happen. Have to like the fact that not only did he remake his body last season, but he kept in shape for this one.

it was cool for while UNTIL the playoffs. Truthfully i enjoyed the 2010 knicks more
Cartman718 @ 10/30/2017 10:18 PM
+14 that's the KOQ stat of the night
meloshouldgo @ 10/30/2017 10:20 PM
Soft@home was coming to life towards the end, will he be consistent or will he on again, off again?

Back to back to back wins with 2 of them within a back to back.
