In a year when most of would have been satisfied with them making the play in tournament they have exceeded expectations. Man it feels good to have a team in the mix of the playoffs. Now go out there and kick the Hawks ass.

Congrats UKers! We the fans have enjoyed this ride thus far. Short of a sweep this was a great season! Even a 1st round bounce to the Hawks would not ruin it.
I now we did them well this season but as JVG preached playoffs a whole new game!
until next week lets enjoy the play in!!!

All this talk about how this season would be a success “even if ...”

That’s stinkin’ thinkin’

Think positive. Don’t entertain any negative thoughts.

Everything in moderation. Even moderation.

This team has enough discipline to play well in the playoffs. I think that’s been Thibs’ approach. He has coached ever game this season as if it was a playoff game. The rotations have been tight for a long time and everyone on the team knows their role. We could definitely get out of the 1st round.

i just went looking for beginnng of the season threads where people project wins. Seems we didn't do this year

that said there were a lot of pessimistic posts -- e.g., will we start 1-11

anyway congrats to the team; keep playing with that chip on your shoulder. real fans appreciate the hustle

I remember someone saying "it would take a miracle if we finished .500" Probably most people felt the same

I still can't believe how well we played after the All Star Break. Looking at are schedule I thought for sure we were going to fall apart. Not only did we not fall apart but the team got better

I remember posting before the start of the season, that i wished the Knicks will be this season's surprise team. A team pegged by NBA experts to be scrapping the bottom of the standings but would surprise everyone by surpassing everyone's expectations. Year in and year out i have been saying, this will be the year, for 8 years that was the case. Fast forward to the end of this season, i finally got my wish! The Knicks is this year's surprise team! Hoping the team can make some noise in the playoffs!!!

Happy days are here again
Coach Thibs is right for makin' friends
Let's get together, how 'bout Madison Square Garden?
Come this weekend, let's all do it again

Barrett and Randle will be boys, better let them have their toys
Noel and Taj will make cute picks, rolls and curls
Bullock and Rose put an end, to this stress and strife
Toppin, Burks and Quick live the three point life

Good times
These are the good times
Leave your cares behind
These are the good times

-Chic

Thibs deserves his fair share of credit but there are a number of men behind him that made the difference like Johnnie Bryant. Remember that this is the same team last year that was a few games short of the league's worst record. You don't turn something like that around without MAJOR internal development that comes from player development coaches and trainers to keep them healthy despite heavy minutes. I'm still a skeptic of these players but am happily eating crow for this season.

Would be the best surprise of 2021 if I didn't find out I was gonna be a father! LOL. But this has been a great ride, and a very easy team to root for. Deep down I still fear ownership, but if Leon + Thibs + crew can operate without intervention and with the same goals in mind, we are in good shape.

Thank you Thibs for bringing the true Knick basketball and mentality back to NYC.
