Hey I turned 80 years old now and I feel something special about this team. If all is healthy we can win it all. WE AR HUNGRY

Congratulations Long Timer! To answer your question…..

Can and will.

nycericanguy @ 2/2/2024 5:34 PM
starting to believe we can. Brunson can be the best player in any given series and we have some high IQ role players, shooters, and defenders around him.

These Nova guys just know how to win, it's looking like a special team.

Yes. More than a swingers chance. I don’t think they are the betting odds favorites. But they are certainly putting them in the conversation. The Cleveland - NY ECF is gonna be a brawl.

All the swingers I know are very very easy almost a lil too slutty, so we talking the same thing?

They need to be healthy and need one more shot creator and they can.

The question to ask is will you be around to see the next 10 championships?!?

Better get down to Planet Fitness Papabear!

Yeah, fortunately ToddBot doesn't need to worry. Even when Martin gets a Bot upgrade, he'll get some use out of Todd as a fax machine or something.

Don’t forget the cover page, you degenerates!

It’s 2004 and Ben Wallace goes up for a dunk. Ron Artest gives him a hard foul from behind. Ben Wallace turns around and pushes a defiant Ron Artest with a force that would knock most humans down. Ron Artest stumbles but catches his footing. Chaos ensues. In that moment, you have a raging BenWallace vs a crazy eyed Ron Artest. Who’s gonna win that fight? I dunno. Smart money says big man Wallace; but Rob Artest has that crazy look in his eye that makes you think twice about throwing a punch. I think a lot of folks are looking at the Knicks like Ron Artest. Yeah, on paper other teams should win. Jokic’s ChickieNuggets. Giannis’ LillyPads. But you are heading into the playoffs and the Knicks just have that crazy look in their eyes. That’s a bit more than the Swingers Chance. That’s a, “well hold on now, Let’s think about this, situation”

I wouldn't have said so at the beginning of the season, but the additions of DDV and OG have made a big difference. Let's see if we can get another good piece to finish the pie and then we'll talk championship.
SergioNYK @ 2/2/2024 9:15 PM
I'm stopping myself from thinking Championship. It's not healthy.

God bless turning 80! Wish you many more.
We are closer than we have been since the 90s. And no Jordan in the way.
Feel we just need an elite 6th man. Will start a thread with that title. Rose listens to me.

God bless. I am turning 55. I have a vague memory of maybe seeing a basketball on TV when I was little. I don't know if it was from that 73 championship or just garbled memories of a little kid now that I am an older adult with a life of memories.

I wish I had been an Islanders Fan when I was in HS on LI because wow- that would have been great.

I have 86 Mets and that's kinda it- Giants.

We have not had a lot of champions in some of these sports.

This group if healthy absolutely is one of maybe 5 teams that could be there at the end.

I want this group to win- not for the fans, definitely not the owner- but for Brunson because that dude is competitive as anyone I have seen play. Maybe Starks/Ewing level heart, but with an uncanny skill to score unlike they had.

Not much to say. The answer is Yes.

Agreed. All the necessary things are there. Now just luck, opportunity, hard work, perseverance. That’s it

Nalod Says to Papabear!

Congrats on 8 decades of Papabear! Glad you still in “the game”!
In a world where parity keeps it interesting in sports I do think the Knicks have a chance. Need some help from lady luck but other than Boston I don’t see greatness beyond reach. Celtics get injuries at the wrong time they cooked as much as any team that does.
Randle shoulder will be a thing. Mitch if he comes back won’t be tippy top.
We have to hope others are good and we did not peak way to early.
I’d say we have a fighting chance. I’ll take it!!
fishmike @ 2/3/2024 3:58 PM
if healthy this roster can win a chip. This is a Detroit type team with the right coach.

We have a monster frontcourt that can smother your paint attack and dominate the boards
Mitch, IHart, Precious, Josh
We have 2 ways snipers that harass you non stop
DD, Grimes, McBride, OG
We have a hammer
Jules
We have a nail
