They looked decent last night. Admittedly, I only watched 15 minutes or so. Played very spirited defense.

Toppin is going to be the ROY. I like him a lot.

Toppin is going to be the ROY. I like him a lot. Game 2 he was bad apparently. They simply made him shoot from outside and it was bad. Keep working on that jumper young man.

Nice comeback last night.
Things I never would have guessed,
Currently the Knicks are in the 5 seed and 1 game out of the 4 seed.
At 23-22 while the Celtics are 21-23.
Never thought that would happen.
At the beginning of the year I said just make the playoffs and I'll be happy with their direction. Right now, it seems very possible.
It took 20 years, but they may have figured it out.
All they need is that one superstar to join now.

Just when it looked like the season was going south they pull off 4 in a row. Thibs really has this team playing beyond any level they should be achieving. Good W in NO tonight. Barrett with a couple stinkers in a row, but he will snap out of it. Randle with another great night, 32, 8 and 5. If the can avoid that 7-10 play in that would be awesome.

By far the most enjoyable Knicks season since JVG was coaching. They are playing a very watchable style of B-ball, it's very refreshing.

People talking about Ball becoming a Knick. After that game tying 3 I will pass. What in the world would you leave Bullock for to collapse in Rose with 4 seconds left in the game up by 3? Horribly low IQ play. Sure I appreciated, but it wasn’t lost on me how awful it was.

Randle has played his way into the MVP conversation IMO. He definitely will be the MIP. If the Knicks can get up to the 4th seed in the East, he will collect some first place votes. Basketball is better when the Knicks are relevant.

Basketball is better when the Knicks are relevant. At some point like the Cubs everyone feels sorry for you. Knicks are in that territory. I am just enjoying that they are relevant and they play hard. I am enjoying the development of Julius and RJ and the way all the other pieces are sliding into place so nicely. Thibs impact can’t be understated as every talking head pegged this team for 20 wins. Pretty awesome. It’s also cool, if I’m being honest, that rather than surging in popularity the Nets are the most despised team in the NBA. I think a Knicks-Nets playoff series is what NY and the league need. Of course that series would be won by the Nets but it would be awesome nevertheless.

I can't help but feel the Knicks may have caught a bit of the recent Islander magic.
Goes to show you how important HCs are

This is awesome. Julius Randle should legit be considered for MVP. Is there anyone truly more valuable to their team's success this year?

This is the best sports surprise I’ve gotten since Giants won it all in 11’. I’m shocked and I love it. Is Durant still mocking us over there for that “other NY team”? Douche.

I used to be a big Durant fan back in the day. I'm not sure what changed, but his whole pity party, and "I hate everyone" attitude has become a complete joke. The entire Nets team is a joke for that matter.

They have an absolute West Coast gauntlet right now, if they can win 2 games somehow they have a great chance at avoiding that play in tourney.

yeah, it's a brutal stretch they embark on. Schedule makers should all choke!! 2 games, 2 wins. If they can just win 1 between Suns, Clippers, Nuggets and Lakers that’s. .500 trip. I would have signed up for that all day.

Tibs has them totally believing, and the transformation that Randall made this year is really spectacular.

They are really starting to figure it out. 3 games against WC top 3. Came out awful in the first, finished awful in the 2nd, tremendous wire to wire win against he Clips today. I especially like that they didn’t flinch when Clips scored the games first 11. Also liked that Randle kept his cool when Cousins and Rondo tried to get under his skin at the end of the 3rd, then he hit 3 huge jumpers down the stretch. Finish this trip by beating the Lakers would be great.

Over the last five weeks, dating back to early April, 56 NBA players have attempted at least 100 three-pointers
Only one of those players is shooting above 48% from 3-point territory:
R.J. Barrett
