I took a look at the printable schedule from knicks.com and noticed a ton of blue (Home Games) this month. the knicks play 11 of their 15 November ball games at the garden to exact. for the knicks fans, like myself, that value playoff experience for the new core of the team over a potential mid-lottery bust, this means we can probably forecast our playoff chances based on the winning percentage entering December. Hopefully this is old news to the players and coaching staff and potentially has something to do with the very inspired play we've seen over the past three games. In my humble opinion KP has already begun to leave his mark in record books as the Knicks Franchise player, therefore similar to the Bucks with Giannis, the time for the knicks to tank for draft picks has already past. we have our franchise player and potential supporting cast in place lets win some games, make the playoffs, sign some free agents, and use our late first rounders to fill out the back half of the roster.
I touched on a few different points in this post but each of them is probably equally worthy of discussion so I'll repeat them in the form of questions:
how important do you think the month of November is to the knicks' season?
which do you value most, a high lottery pick or a playoff spot?
has KP's big numbers and the recent string of games adjusted your timeline and expectation related to the rebuild?
can't wait to hear y'all thoughts
