seems like it was 2014 B.C.... I was also thinking about the opposite uninspired play of the yankees....they still have 149 games to turn the corner

......It must come with being an elite player... complaining about every contact.... Magic was that way, Lebron is..add Doncic now..
Frankie came out of no where to knock in shots.
I am thinking that Randle and RJ are both alpha dogs, RJ is a fast growing puppy. He thrives when Randle goes for a rest. They are going to be a dynamo if they keep playing together. When Randle is back in, everyone defers to him. It is an intriguing flow in the game.....

What a finish yesterday. That 3 pointer with 2 seconds left and then the shut down defense in OT. ROGER YOU ARE RIGHT WE HAD NO END GAME BUT IT IS SHIFTING. THE MORE Often they do it the more confidence they will have.

7 in a row is fantastic. Just a win tonight from moving into the forth slot in the East. I am so impressed by different players making key contributions each night. Randle has been great. Last night Barret was the guy. Other nights it's Bullock, Rose, Quickly,Burks, etc... Clearly this is the sports highlight in NY these days. Keep it up! Go Knicks.

what is also worth noting is that they are playing tough even in the second of back-to-back games !!! I can't wait for their next game on Sat.....I may or may not tune into the Yankee game today

Even the Wizards are playing well. I have had so little interest in the NBA for years, but now I tune in and watch a good portion of the games if they involve the Knicks, Net or Wizards. And I always check the box scores to see how the U-Va alums are doing.

Reflecting on the rise of the Knicks I think one reason for their success is having 9 or 10 guys who can play. This means there is not a drop off when they go to the bench. Having so many effective guys also means that when Randle or Barrett are not having a great night that someone can pick up the team. Keep it going Knicks.

Tonight is going to be tough ..
Toppin is looking better..they should continue to feed him.....with proper guidance, I see him developing into a Nowitzki-type player......

Bounced back nice .... this quickley kid is real deal ... love watching him play ...big balls for rook I totally agree. His points per minute (if there is such a stat) must be incredible. A great bounce back win and on to a new winning streak. The Knicks are the fun team in NY these days.

Was nice to see them get back on the winning ways......hope they can go at least 3-3 on the road. The first two games are their best chances for wins. Gets tougher after that.
Looking back, the games they lost to the good teams before their streak were pretty close. It was not like they got blown out of the arenas. They made critical errors towards the end. Even the recent Suns game, they just let it get away at the end.
Quickley is fearless and if he is denied the 3 pt shot, he will drive for a floater. I cannot remember him taking a mid range set jumper. Has a tendency to commit silly fouls though.
Still waiting on Toppin to assert himself....
