Daily discussion thread for Knicks fans.

I just wanna point out that barring extreme misfortune in the form of injuries or unforeseeable circumstances (knocking on wood), we have entered the new golden age of Knicks basketball. I would say at the very least, we will have a mid-late 90s esc run of extremely entertaining and competitive basketball with a likable group of guys. At most… chips baby :trophy: Enjoy it while it’s here

Big game tonight. Grizzlies are a great team and have gone 14-3 against Eastern Conference teams. This is another good heat check. Can this team, at home, take care of business against some of the league’s best? Early returns aren’t great on that, but no time like the present!

Worst Super Bowl situation we could’ve gotten lmfao. Yak

Tonight’s rotation will illuminate how well Thibs can scheme for a team with length and outside shooting. We do fine against team with 1-2 scoring options who penetrate the lane. But we fail against quality swing/skip passing and length/speed.

Trade deadline next Thursday. Any predictions?

Gonna be right behind the Knicks bench tonight. I might start singing “Blow the whistle” just cuz I love Jalen and have some Eagles fans fam & friends. LGK! Let’s get this dub!!!

Grizzlies matchup is gonna be a good one today. Let’s see we can do to slow down JJJ

Mikal better be ready because POA defense against JA can be a difference maker.

Fell out of love with basketball around 2003 or so. Living in Phoenix I know a lot of Suns fans, so I picked NBA back up about 4 years ago or so. While I was trying to be a primary Suns fan, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, especially with the Knicks building what they have today.

Well, just bought my first Knicks jersey since I had a Starks jersey as a kid! I had a tough time choosing between a lot of guys (KAT, Josh, Mikail, OG, Precious) but ultimately decided to go with JB! I’m excited! I’d like to collect some of the other guys as well. Such a fun team to watch and the best I have seen from the Knicks.

NBA Store has 25% off “everything” today and after buying the jersey I got a free $100 bet for Fanatics sportsbook. Not a fan of the company but love free bets. Just thought I’d let you guys know (I’m just a regular dude, not an ad and I don’t get anything for it lol)

So how are we feeling about our last 2 wins? They were very satisfying in my opinion but I understand those 2 teams are not the best so I want to gauge how does everyone feel about those wins , as I do feel that our defense was actually good

It’s not often a guy can simultaneously become the most hated person in both Philly and New York but Jeffrey Laurie wants to give it a shot

Rockets just beat the Celtics so we are about 1.5 game behind them now? What a great night!

Is Ja playing tonight? I need to know if I gotta walk with the blicky :joy:

Just an obnoxious amount of Eagle fans on this team lmao, e tu Deuce? :sob:

Is ticketmaster down for anyone else rn?

I got gifted some tix for the Knicks tonight, and it says I can use the N/S VIP entrance. Does anyone know exactly where they are/is it clearly marked? It just says 33rd or 31st so not entirely clear.

NY gives up the most points in the league against the PnR ball-handler, is that KAT’s fault for not being able to play drop, Mikal’s fault for not being able to navigate screens, or Thibs fault for not playing a different type of coverage?

Hypothetically speaking, if Miami can’t find a trade partner for Jimmy and they were to waive him, is it possible for contending teams to pick him up considering his huge contract?

For those blocked out by Optimum, any luck w/using a VPN to work around League Pass blackouts? Thinking about investing in one but want to be sure if it works
