How does one get the job of following Rebecca around and take pictures of her? Asking for a friend.

Would love to see a win vs the defending champions in order to create some early season momentum and confidence moving forward.

6-3 would be awesome for a change at 7-3 and finishing our 1st 10 games @ .700%.

I really believe in this team. I believe we can walk into Milwaukee, play team ball and win.

This season is so bizarre- it' the first time non-knicks bball writers are much higher on the team than a lot of Knicks fans seem to be- we live in weird times!

Up against the defending champs on national TV! Gotta bring it tonight! Starts with Randle. Giannis will score an easy 50 if he plays with the same energy defensively that he did against Anunoby and Torrey Craig. I know Randle has a new infant, is in shooting slump and he's getting used to playing with Kemba and Fournier but that's not an excuse to play with no energy and slow on defense! I hate to get on Randle cause I really like him and appreciate what he's done here but he's gotta play and act like the alpha dawg was he last season!

Let's also hope our threes fall tonight cause there is no way we can beat this team without them.

The problem is Randle, Obi, Walker, EF are not defensive players. Randle's defense (to me) is similar to Obi at times....Or marginally better in other times. So Randle's defense is his offence. Same with Kemba. The problem with that is when their offense isn't clicking, their defense gets exposed. But when they got it rolling, we forget these guys are terrible defenders. Putting Randle at the 5 is only a good strategy, when Randle has it going. If Randle is bricking and turning the ball over on iso plays, his defense starts to look even worse. We need playmaker Randle back.

Well, it look like we may have a chance for a win tonight on ESPN..
Three of the Bucks starters, and their 6th Man are out for tonight game, wow what luck!
Middleton - Covid 19 positive (OUT)
Holiday - Prained left ankle (PROB)
DiVicenzo - Left ankle injury (OUT)
Lopez - Sore back (OUT)

Am I the only Knicks fan that notice the reason why we loss the last two games ..
We no longer have Bullocks relentless defense in the 4th qtr. covering both forwards position.
Truth be said .. Bullocks were the only teammate i notice that mix (mesh) well with Randle on the court, and I mean Randle career with Lakers, Pelicans, and Knicks !!!

And that's the absolute ceiling for that relationship BTW, Giannis is hitting about 32% of his threes. Still a way higher probability of hitting shots than you do with Rebecca

RJ has been the only starter playing acceptable defense IMO. The rest of the guys need to step up, or we’re not getting out of the first round.

4.) Golden State -9.0 (to win and cover vs. Pelicans).

Grayson Allen is so annoying. But not in a talented way.

Fournier is awful. Careless with the ball, no defense. Huge overpay.

Randle definitely looks like the guy from two years ago. Ball movement is a huge issue with these guys.

Defense is definitely our biggest issue now with two guys that are awful defenders in the starting lineup.

We look way to comfortable out there and no where near the urgency needed to be a good team. This team isn’t good enough to give sub par effort. Need some real intensity out there
