Another season is closing in on us.....how will the Knicks fare ??
They did not add any really high impact players and with the season approaching, I don't see any major trades happening - do you ?
Looking forward, I can see the team meshing better, as they get used to each other.
Brunson is going to be fun to watch, just hope he is not tired after playing for Team USA.
RJ seems poised to have a "breakout" season, after his games with Team Canadian.
Randle looks mighty fit, but he is still a wild card to me. I would not be surprised or hurt if he were traded.
Robinson looks bigger and stronger to me. I just wish he could learn to take and make jump shots and woe, his free throw shooting !!!
I am looking for Grimes to really come to the forefront, Thibs has to let him. Same with Deuce.
Donte's shooting should open up the offense, but then again, Fournier was supposed to do just that and we know how that went. I would like to see Evan traded soon, he could be disruptive in the locker room. Thibs seems to be auditioning him in the pre-season games, but he has not been too goodly in the last two. By the way, Donte is a terrific defender !! That should help down the stretch of games.
IQ, Hart, and Harty are going to be a real good 2nd team.
I see the possibility of a 50-win season and get past the 2nd round, but could they regress ??
What do you all think ??

Just read this, "Mitchell Robinson believes he found a way to improve his ugly free-throw percentage: give it more arc."........duh !!!! a peewee player could have told him that ......

Maybe he should go the Wilt route and try underhanded.

Maybe he should go the Wilt route and try underhanded. I don't think he has any concept of ball trajectory in air, as he basically is a dunker !!

Looked really bad the last two exhibition games. Got drubbed by the Wizards last night at the Garden.

By the way, watching highlights of Wemby - might as well hand him the ROY, defensive player, possibly MVP, name him to the All NBA 1st team, and maybe put him in the top 10 players in the NBA, right now !! He is THAT GOOD !!

Good game tonight vs Celtics....they did not fall behind by a big margin, but their end game is still not there. Can they forced to practice their foul shots ? If they had only missed half as many, they would have won by 1 !!

I watched most of the game. They are great at disappointing us. But it was an entertaining game.

The refs admitted that they blew it calling flop on Brunson - Tatum instead went on to score 3 foul shots !!

nice win tonight - the Trey Young Hawks remind of Reggie MIller Pacers !
Knicks need to figure out their end game - same $hit as last year - fumbling away the ball. Brunson just as guilty.

bad overall game last night in the second of the back-to-back games. Not a great excuse, but they fell back into the (exasperating) pattern of falling way behind early and they trying to come back. I think Randle has lost his mojo along with his hair

I flipped back and forth between games last night. Knicks started out really hot, but then Cleveland came back. I really thought Cleveland was going to win at that point. Good win.

I watched the Knicks last night - well, recorded and watched half last night and half this morning. They played well and benefited from Cleveland's missing players.

Seems like the Knicks have a lot of 3 games over 4 days. Is this typical? Seems pretty grueling

after Tues, I thought they had the Cavs number, but they really were ineffective last night.....I sense that a lot of people were upset with Barkley's comments, but he is not incorrect - these knicks are "not contenders" and they definitely are "mediocre"...
