What a game to start the season..........dumb defense cost them the game at end of regulation, but way to hang in there for 2 OTs. Shot making on both sides was amazing !! Obi showed more initiative and Barrett waited till 3rd Q to show his presence. Julius was Julius and Fournier, will definitely help with his clutch 3s under pressure !!!
Robinson looked like he added bulk, looked old school ----tall guy with short shorts. Defense around the rim a definite plus.
1-0, at this rate, they could go 82-0

Exhausting game to watch. Great sign Knicks were able to prevail.

What a start of the season. It was an amazing game. Some of the new guys (Fournier, Walker) played well. Different from last year where a lot of games slipped away. This time we were good in clutch situations. This is team with great depth. With the disappointment of the Yankees being bounced and the godawful year for the Giants, it is nice to hear some noise from the crowd at the Garden last night. Go Knicks and Rangers!

they are looking like a complete team, even with fans in the stands........Like to see them get waaaaaay above 0.500, before the inevitable cooling down.
Loved the shooting from everyone.......Julius seems wired at end of games, he needs to calm down and not detract from the team energy.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOKNICKERBOCKERS !!!!!
Anyone else surprised the Lakers are not really meshing ??

Great win against Philly last night. I continued to be amazed by the balance this team has. The Knicks are not solely reliant on one guy every night but get contributions from lots of guys. Against Boston Fournier came up big, last night Walker played his best game. Of course Julius is always one of our best scorers every night. I also love it that Thibbs can throw different looks out there at different times. This is a good team. Go Knicks!

They still have some mind boggling defensive lapses, especially when the pace gets hectic...to get to next level, RJ needs to be consistent for 4 quarters, not just have one hot quarter.
Fournier is living up to his 3 pt resume ...... I thought Robinson held his own against Embiid.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOKNICKERBOCKERS !!!!!

I agree, it was scary. Great defense on the last play that forced the Bulls to throw up an awkward, low success potential shot. WE need to be able to close out these games as the last 3 minutes count. We could have lost this one and the Boston game at the end. I know I sound like a broken record but really good team play, as we can get points from guys other than Randle. You can stop Randle some of the time than Rose, Walker, Fournier, Barrett, etc.. can step up. Go Knicks.

Your point about Randle is right on...I was thinking through 3 quarters that we had not Randle's name very much, while they built up their lead. It is comforting to know that they have other seasoned shooters on the team now.
Was paying attention to Lonzo Ball - he looks like he could develop into a top notch defender.

..another close one at the end....could only follow late on gamecast...any insights on why Randle did not shoot much and ended up with only 10 pts or Toppin a non-factor tonite ?.....happy for RJ - led the team in all categories...
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOKNICKERBOCKERS !!!!!

Another great win last night vs the Bucks. We have now beaten the Celts, Bulls, 76ers, and Bucks. The East is going to be a bear this year. Hopefully, the Knicks can stay healthy and play smart basketball. Randle, DRose and JR are playing so well. I love the energy off the bench with Toppin, IQ and last night, Noel. Go Knicks, give us something to root for.
