Knicks have now won 4 of their last 5. 15 - 16 record and 7th seed in the East. Only 1 game out of 4th seed in East.

People can feel how they want about this team and Thibs. We have made huge progress as a franchise in a very small amount of time.

Another bad showing against a team we should beat easily by double-digits.
O.K. A win is a win. Are we gonna move on to .500?

Knicks finished a game and held on for the win! A big win, to get back on track.

Obi got a tip back for a bucket! There you go! And we needed every points win this game, especially those 36 FT attempts. And we nearly drained them all.

Imagine adding Lavine or Beal?

Wow, Ryan Saunders fired as Minnesota’s head coach following tonight’s loss to the Knicks. TWolves are as classless and clueless a franchise as it comes. They stunk for years, Thibs made them a playoff team, they fire Thibs, and now they’re back to being a bottom feeder.

I hope the Knicks front office is smarter with Thibs than that.

Tonight is what I'd like to see a little more of in how we use RJ. I just don't see how Randle doesn't get in as an All-Star

I was thinking while watching the game

Knicks are 15-16...

NYK 3 losses away from third seed (Mil).... but, there’s only 3 teams with more than 17 losses in entire NBA.

I got to see the first half with free league pass weekend, but then my Dish started messing up with the bad weather here. Looks like we held on to win...KAT is a handful. That’s where you miss MROB. I think Thibbs is still figuring out the rotations...the league pass had the T-wolves announcers so it was a different perspective esp. because they know Thibbs, Drose, and TAj. Thibbs is coaching his tail off and J Randle is playing at All Star level. Wolves announcers were gushing about how hard JR worked back home in Dallas last summer because we weren’t invited to the bubble. RJ is coming along nicely. Thibbs is notorious for not trusting young players, but RJ gets big minutes down the stretch. Barring a 2nd half total collapse we are gonna be back in the playoffs for the first time in years. We need to stay in that 4-6 seed area so we have a chance in that first round. No more Knicks-tank. We are a high quality free agent away from being a contender in the East! And I heard they are letting fans back in MSG on a limited basis!!!
