Game Thread: New York Knicks vs Phoenix Suns 7:30 11/3/2017 [Game #8]

About to get back to 0.500. Another huge game for KP. This team is exceeding all expectations so far in my eyes.

Garden crowd went crazy on a highlight block of Jackson by KP and then his dunk on the other end.

kanter with 16 rebounds, jack with 9 assists.
4 of our 5 starters in double digits scoring and our good-energy 2nd unit chipping in with 30something points.
timmy starting to shoot more efficiently than i thought he would. good stuff.

I can't remember any Knick having a stretch of games like KP is having, maybe Kiya and Mafra can point out if it's ever happened. Really efficient game by KP 13-22 10-13 from the FT line and only took 2 3s. Plus he's been a human eraser this season.

I?m guessing that you?d have to go all the way back to the 89-90 season when Ewing averaged almost 29 ppg that season.

Mills n Perry are keeping Kanter for the long run. WHY?
Kanter has change KP performance to do a 360 degree improvement .. KP had scored 37 pts tonight plus KP only took TWO 3's tonight! Great!
GO KNICKS !!!

I saw latter part of 1rst and some of the 2nd. I can fully support a #kporzee who drops buckets while attempting 3s moderately. Quiet as kept he's doing a lot of damage in a "triangle" type way and on the move

Ewing did have a great year, scored over 30 in about 17 games with a couple of 40 pt games, his best stretch was the last 20 games in which he scored over 30 in 6 of the last 20 with 2 games where he had a back to back 30 pt game. KP has done it in 5-6 games, we might be looking at record breaking year by him and this is the best start that any Knick has had I believe.

KP has been a stud in 6/8 games so far.... Kanter and KOQ setting the tone in the paint.... THJr starting to prove he just had a bad start.... could average 20ppg this season.

Great team bball. Wire to wire win vs a lesser team shows some growth.

Ntikilina flashed his potential on a few occasions.

Best case scenario is to continue to play like this, but still somehow get a top 3 pick.

I would venture to guess Melo might've had a scoring stretch like this.... but not all-around game. Maybe Lin? Definitely Amare his first season here.

I think you're right about Amare. He scored 30 or more in 9 straight games in his first season with the Knicks. KP 6-8 games over 30 not quite as good as Amare.

i thought this was pretty funny.

maybe he skipped lunch?
