Knicks are 3rd in opposing EFG%
Knicks are 9th in opposing points per 100poss

3-3 vs this schedule is really good! We are just getting guys back also. Thibs wants to win games and these guys are believers and playing like a TEAM. We are BIG and physical and Randle/Mitch are turning into a great combo of power and length.

Did you guys hear Thib's press conf last night? He was saying as far as Mitch is concerned he's just scratching the surface and we are going to see more and more of this

I loved what he said about quickly

“He’ll get his rhythm really quickly,” Thibodeau said. “He’s really talented and he’s smart and he’s a great worker. I love his attitude, I love his approach. He’s going to be a really good player in this league for a long time.”

Thats a big for a Veteran coach to say that about a rookie.

When is the last time we had an actual identity? Much props to our scouting department because we are well prepared going into each game...We seem to really understand the oppositions tendencies, their strengths and weaknesses...And the players are totally buying in.

Organized basketball is a beautiful thing.

Said that he will soon be able to translate some offensive skill he has been putting the work on to in game. So Thibs is probably also looking to work in some plays to get him those looks. Gonna be fun to watch him build Mitch up.
