Boston is playing out exactly as I thought. It's tricky business changing coaches and that crushing loss to New York could be enough to send them into a tailspin. Getting booed off the court in the home opener isn't something a team easily recovers from.

Ah, the first week of season. Always so informative.

Speaking of Boston, I'm old enough to remember when the Red Sox were the best team in the MLB postseason.

Yea except brown is a very good scorer. Many opposing defenses have allowed brown to score, because, you know, he’s a good player.

No thought that Toronto might be a good team and simply outplayed them?

All games do matter.

Which means that effectively this thread is about the fact the Knicks play on Tues and Thurs.

So, yeah.

And we're all old enough to remember plenty of recent seasons dating back to the 2000s where we don't even reach our 3rd win until game #20 @ 3-17 ala season(s) over before they started etc.

Heading into our Philadelphia game? At potentially 3-0? At home in Madison Square Garden? With 4-0 on the line? That is the definition of early season excitement.

When's the last time one of our NYK teams have started off 4-0?

I'm not sure but I bet it's been over 20 years and not since our 1990s.

I'm more fired up about 2-0 with two blowout wins than I would be @ 0-2 with two blowout loses

I know and can recognize a true NBA basketball Contender when I root for one and an awful tank team when I watch one. Our Knicks of 2021-2022 are deep. Talented. And FORREAL.

Knicks started the 2016-2017 se season 14-10.

They started the 2017-2018 season 16-13.

Orlando Magic started last season 4-0 and 6-2.

Best part is a good start is AS enjoyable when it just happens than when you set yourself up for assuming it will happen.

There is literally no downside to just waiting and seeing.

Just makes for a boring chat board. I think you have the wrong audience for this wait and see. Can’t speak for everyone, but I am here to discuss present sense impressions of how the Knicks are doing today. I’d be remiss if I had to wait until the end of the season to discuss my opinions on how they are doing today.
