Just create thread and then we tag it.

Not cool.

Sergio is on a 5 game winning streak.

Hearing Jaylen’s charter flight was 5 mins late so he’s going to load manage.

And the Celtics being without Jaylen Brown is a gigantic loss for Boston because that kid despite only being 26 years of age is already averaging 26.5 Points, 7.0 Rebounds, 3.2 Assists and 1.1 steals while also shooting .486% from the field here in 2022-2023 (All-Star).

Nonetheless they're still 9-2 without Jaylen Brown (.818%) and we've gotta come out hungry and smelling blood.

Like to see the Knicks go against good teams at full strength, early in the season. But with 20 games left, I'll take any advantage the Knicks can get.

Serge needs to be pushed. I think he's been getting ****y and competition is the only way he'll grow as a game thread post.

I think this is apparently the reason he was late (sarcasm, but maybe not)

the weird thing is look at teams with a similar road record, look at teams with that same record - and if we could ever fix whatever seems to ail us at home, and we would be a legit top 4 team in the east.

Trending Up: …New York has now won five in a row - and counting. They’ll face the 44-17 Celtics tonight, and while their third winning streak of at least four games this season may come to an end, there’s no denying that the Knicks are a team to be reckoned with. Some numbers for your consideration:

- 8 games over .500, tied with the Nets for 5th in the East and 8th in the league

- A plus-2.5 net rating, in a virtual tie with the Kings for 7th overall

- The 6th ranked offense in basketball (despite the 23rd ranked eFG%)

- Since going to a nine-man rotation on December 4: 4th best record at 25-14, 2nd best net rating, 4th ranked offense, 9th ranked defense

These are, flatly, the numbers of an elite team, and one you’d consider a contender just by looking at their resume. The Knicks aren’t that (at least I don’t think they are, but who the hell knows at this point).

What they are, however, is a team that never, ever gets blown out, which is how the numbers can look so good despite a comparatively pedestrian record. One might even say that being in every game, every night is there identity, which brings me to…
