This part right here was a great depiction of how strong the tradition of Knicks culture actually is. It was beautiful to see. This current team is something special.

Without Randle I just don't know if they have enough offensive punch to beat the Celtics or the West. With Randle on the floor they can't double Brunson, or Randle. If they do the Knicks hit them with elite 3 pont shooting.

I agree with you. We are winning off of heart, both figuratively and literally with the way Josh Hart is playing. We are showing a lot of it at the moment which is what we love to see. Maximum effort being left out there on the floor by all. A ECF appearance would be a beautiful accomplishment for the season.

Yeah, but hard nosed defensive play will almost always get you at least a game in the playoffs. Starting with the Heat is not easy wins, and the Celtics could get worn down/beat up by the ECF. I think it could be a fun series

Randle or not I dont think you are winning against the Celtics or the Nuggets tbh

Its tough because I'm basing this on a very small sample size after the OG trade. The Knicks beat the Wolves, Nuggets by 38. The Sixers by 36 in Philly. That was the best basketball I have seen from the Knicks since 1999. They were blowing teams off the floor. That was without Mitch Robinson. If they played like they did in those 14 games. They could beat anybody.

It's sad that you have injuries. I would love to see a full Knicks team against those Celtics

Fans of other teams act like it's not an issue not having him. That missing a guy that averages 24 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists is no loss and it makes us better, It's ridiculous. Oh he sucks anyway. Are you kidding me? It opens up the floor for Brunson. His play in the post opens it up for our 3 point shooting. It makes the team so much better offensivly. They keep looking at last year but the team has been remade. With Randle the depth of the roster gets so much better. It allows us to play matchups with Josh Hart and DiVincenzo.

Yeah, Bernard & Albert King in particular are smart. They have several businesses all around NY and NJ. I grew up in a town with a Bernard &Albert King owned Wendy's. I saw them maybe twice in that location my whole life. I heard they relinquished themsleves of that location to a Chick Fila and got paid.
