For anyone who may still think it’s same old Knicks....
and we cant score... but have IQ/Obi... two really promising scoring rookies, Burks will help when he's back and we are treading water at .500 ish, we have a bunch of quality wins and guys getting coached up more and more every game.
Its a process and 15 games in that process is looking pretty good. There is a real plan in place here

Totally Agree!!
If our offense was on point, we would be one of the leaders in the East.
We need a few more cogs, but we are getting there.
This team is showing massive progress under new mgmt/coaching.
Defense is key to winning a chip. SO glad we're starting there. The offense will come around when...
• RJ develops a shooting touch
• Toppin matures
• IQ takes over as lead scoring/playmaking guard
• We acquire all star free agent
This is the first season in years that I am wanting to watch all the games. Thibs mark on this team is obvious. When NYK players buy-in to the program, good things happen. Slow and steady now!
I think biggest bummer of season has been: how good would Gordon Hayward look in our lineup right now? Adding a shot like that to this defense would’ve been lethal
#1 rated defense even without Frank playing?

Will be looking for Obi defensive highlights soon! This scummy virus has to be over soon so crowds at MSG can start contributing to the D-Fense!

ooof man I was I thinking that. You replace Elf/Burks/Noel/Rivers with Hayward and the Knicks really have something.
To be fair I cant think of too many people here would would have been happy maxing him out.. I would not have but you are 100% right in he would be looking fantastic here right now
Passes eye test. Took time to watch a lot of nba games yesterday and one thing I noticed is the amount of easy rhythm shots other teams give up compared to us. I’m not sure how much this holds up, but it’s truly crazy how much
this team has improved in 1 offseason. It took us 28 games to win 7 games last season and we accomplished that in just 15 with less offensive talent. If we somehow clinch a playoff spot( without any stupid trades) COY and MIP must go to us
Execution is not always there but I have been amazed by the effort
Worth mentioning the much hated Payton and Bullock have been praised by Thibs for their defense.
