Pretty tough upcoming stretch
Tougher for sure, but team is rounding out.
Clev is baffling but as always im not talking shit until they are eliminated at seasons end.
They have the talent. Garland injury is an issue and mobley hurt puts them noplace until he is back.
Spida got his bag and I doubt they do anything until off season. Was last years 64 win team the anomoly? Might be.
Its a curious situation.
Fact is outside of NY-Detroit is impressive. Toronto without RJ really dropped back.
Reality is Knicks won the cup playing against not so great teams but did beat a very very good SAS. They got hot at the right time!
Thus I am not super hypted about our team just yet but...........
We have a nice window this year to come out of the east! That said Leon and Company might do something interesting to elevate our depth.

11 - 4 in December including the Cup victory
Good win total. Four bad losses. And wins against mostly struggling and injured teams. Some by the skin of our teeth.
Glad we won the cup, and beat Cleveland.

Let's not forget that a bunch of young players played key roles during these wins. Means there is sooo much room for improvement. Even this season into the playoffs type of improvement
I want home court throughout the entire playoffs unfortunately OKC is going to win 60-65 games.

The more time goes by the more obvious it seems replacing Thibs with Brown was the right move. Thibs would not only be burning out our starters again he wouldn’t be giving all these young players a chance to contribute and develop.

Thibs did it, to a degree. He developed some player, slowly and usually that development was 45 secs at the end of the game. Brown development that to a whole new level. It's not even comparable
