Happy new year everyone who still checks in.. Looking forward for our 9th straight win tonight against the Jazz!
 
Happy New Years KO members and a Blessing 2025 Knicks season ..
Having a 119-103 win over Utah Jazz on New Year Day.

We have one of the NBA Top 3 high scoring BigMen .. Mr. KAT.
Tonight, KAT had 31 pts, and 21 rebound on 50% FG shooting night .. FIRE!!!
Plus Josh Hart's Triple-Double 15 pts, 14 reb, 12 DIMES performance night .. FIRE!!!
I still rather Josh Hart coming off the bench as vocal court leader for our rookies, and 2nd season player.
Plus Mikal's 2-Way Hustle 27 pts .. FIRE!!!
Plus OG's 2-Way hustle 22 pts .. FIRE!!!
Today's Knicks Game was FIRE!!!
I want to see more of Kolec
 
Don't know about you Kiya, but I am not happy with us having the starting five with the most minutes clocked so far this season. Thibs at it a gain, running his starting five into the ground at a time of the year when this is not necessary, plus Sims' raw numbers didn't look good, but his on/off numbers looked good. No need to play him only such a limited amount of minutes. Same goes for Hukporti and Kolek, why don't they get more than three minutes each, even in blowout?
 
Happy New Years Pat .. Tom Thibs haven't change .. If our starter 5 lineup could keep up the same pace (and 40 minute games) throughout the remainder of the season without injuries they will become Professional Super Athletes in the Sports world.
I'm sad bout Jericho Sims 4 year rookie contract as a Knicks under coach Thibs stingy substitution, In 3 full seasons Jericho Sims never received any consistent playing-time to improve his NBA Growth, or enough playing time to play-out his raw flaws by receiving consistent playing-time like Deuce McBride did last season in his 3rd NBA season.
I understood well, having a healthy Mitch & IHart at the center position for two seasons, but coach Thibs did run a lot of small-ball rotation using Randle at center in those two seasons.

I'm mostly upset from coach Thibs not giving any of our 3 rookies any consistent playing time in 35 games
 
Same here. And he looked serviceable as a screener, rolling to the rim, out-hustling opponents on the glass.
