Melo way off and the team still plays great. He did other things.
So many positives and so happy to have KP. 12 fta!!! and solid defense
Defense was tenacious.
Galloway has blown me away.
Anybody miss hardaway?
I couldn't agree with you more. The defense I saw tonight and the IQ level are the best I have seen in the longest. My God, KO is a stud. He is a hell of a passer; he sees the floor like a PG. he reminds me of Rasheed Wallace minus the three ball
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Tomorrow will be a different test since the Hawks are strong at guard and they can shoot! The Knicks may be a bad matchup for the Bucks this year even with Giannis and Parker.
I made a thread comparing this team to the 54 win team and even tho it's one game and I don't expect a big win streak or 54 wins, I do think this team is gonna surprise the analysts who predict a losing season. This team just has a toughness and depth that I think the analysts have overlooked!

Agreed. The knicks have really good shot blockers and the bucks are a team that likes to work inside through the PnR. The Hawks might not be a bad matchup defensively since they like to run and then score inside, but I think teams that like to shoot from the perimeter (and are good at it) will be tough for the knicks
The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

Yeah it's gonna be a very good test for this team. The good thing is our bench should match up very well in terms of quickness defensively.

Bucks were missing parker and the greek so we definetly had a advantage. However im very happy from what i saw. KP and grant had solid debuts and so far im wrong about the derrick williams signing....he has been great

Can't wait to see Affalo over Vu. Great win. That's how you play basketball the right way. They mustard up 122pts offensively without Melo. Bucks missed Giannis but he would've have made a 20+ point difference. KP & DW are the best Knick players we've had in a long time. Definitely my favorite Knicks along with O , Gallo & Grant. Every thing we expected out of KP as a matchup nightmare came to fruition. He's gonna make the game easier for everyone
