As great as this season has been I can’t help but think no crowds at games has helped us. Look I think Knicks fans are by far the best fans in the NBA but even during the Carmelo years when we were competitive I remember seeing hecklers in the Garden bashing Carmelo and Co. people conditioned to hate us after years of watching too much ESPN

It’s also helped us a lot on the road. Can you imagine yesterday’s game if it was played in front of 19,000 people in the Staples Center? Again, not taking anything away phenomenal win I’m just saying I think not having a crowd helped us

The pandemic helped us because it gave us a headstsrt with thibs. Core players-Randle and Barrett knew what was expected from them from day 1.

With your point, I think teams should hate to play in the garden with how we are playing. Can you imagine 19k fans heckling away teams?
