He wants it to be his thing ... badly.

This is just the sports marshmallow test being failed.

He wants his 60 win NOW dammit. He can' wait until the spring.

I just know a special team when I see one.

This Knicks team will win the most games in Franchise history this year.

Hope so.

Just some of us haven given ourselves much better odds of enjoying the season and not getting frustrated and disappointed.

The BEST part is there are no bonus points awarded for a prediction and zealotry. We get to enjoy 60 more wins just as much as you do IF they win 60.

So we got that going for us ... which is nice.

we Lost KT, Camby, Kmart, Rasheed, and Amare missed some games.

Thats the only reason we didn't win 60

Do you have any idea how hard it is to win 60+ games? That’s like winning 14+ games in a season for a NFL team

1992-1993 Knicks

Pat Riley = 11th year HC (2nd year as Knicks HC).

Herb Williams = 12th year player.
Rolando Blackman = 12th year player.

Tony Campbell = 9th year player.
Patrick Ewing = 8th year player.
Charles Oakley = 8th year player.
Charles Smith = 5th year player.

2021-2022 Knicks

Taj Gibson = 13th year player.
Derrick Rose = 13th year player.
Kemba Walker = 11th year player.
Alec Burks = 11th year player.

Nerlens Noel = 8th year player.
Mitchell Robinson = 4th year player.
R.J. Barrett = 3rd year player.
Obi Toppin = 2nd year player.
Immanuel Quickley = 2nd year player.

This 2021-2022 New York Knicks squad is the deepest team both talent wise and deoth wise that we've ever been since dating back to the early 1990's

C: Patrick Ewing vs. Mitchell Robinson.
PF: Charles Oakley vs. Julius Randle.
SF: Charles Smith vs. R.J. Barrett.
SG: John Starks vs. Evan Fournier.
PG: Doc Rivers vs. Kemba Walker.
6th Man: Anthony Mason vs. Derrick Rose.

1992-1993 Role Players = Greg Anthony, Tony Campbell, Rolando Blackman, Herb Williams and Hubert Davis.

Vs.

2021-2022 Role Players = Alec Burks, Nerlens Noel, Obi Toppin, Immanuel Quickley and Taj Gibson.

It's been 29 years going on 30 years since our fan base has witnessed a 60 win New York Knicks team under Pat Riley and I truly believe that our current 2021-2022's New York Knicks team under Tom Thibs will become the team to do it. And that's because we're freaking FULLY LOADED!

1992-1993's team did not jump out of the gates as hot as our current 2021-2022's team.

■ After 7 games our Knicks of 1992-1993 were 4-3.

■ After 7 games our Knicks of 2021-2022 will be 6-1 (with a win vs. Toronto tonight).

After 6 games our 1992-1993 team had a point differential of +7 points (577 points scored and 570 points allowed).

After 6 games our 2021-2022 team has a point differential of +43 points (702 points scored and 659 points allowed).

Stay Healthy and nothing is stopping our 2021-2022 Knicks team and thankfully we won't be running into a Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen led Chicago Bulls team as our Knicks of 1992-1993 had to (come the Eastern Conference Finals)

Frustrated and disappointed? What are you talking about?

I'm a longtime suffering Knicks fan (we all are) who deeply misses the 1990s where we made the playoffs every single year (we all do).

So far in the 2020's we're 1-0 @ making the playoffs and 2021-2022 will make 2-0. And I'm enjoying it.

And nothing about 2021-2022's team is frustrating to me and why? Because I already love this team and get excited for them before each and every single game.

I'm not here to tell anyone "I told you so" however throughout all of my years as a Knicks poster on multiple forums I've never once predicted a 60 win team. Not even heading into 2012-2013 I didn't. This is a first for me.

I'm just here to spread my enthusiasm and belief in this 2021-2022 team and that's because I truly believe in all 4 of 1.) Our coach. 2.) Our talent. 3.) Our depth from top to bottom and 4.) Our MAX POTENTIAL.

You on the other hand?

You get 0 bonus points for telling us this isn't a 60 win team and you get no bonus points for telling us this isn't a championship contending team. You're only correcting me throughout this thread in order to say "I TOLD YOU SO".

I bet my local bookie a Boston Celtics fan $100 that we'll win 60 games this year before the season started and he put up $7,000 saying that we wouldn't. So if we don't win 60? Big deal. I'm out of $100 but right now I know he's scared of our bet and if we do win 60 games? I'll enjoy that free $7k more than you telling me it wasn't possible. He laughed at my 60 win prediction but right now I'm confident in it.

Yes. If the Knicks win 60 games I'll enjoy it more than you and if not? Oh well. I'm only out of $100.

That 2012-2013 team won 54 games. This 2021-2022 team is WAY DEEPER has way more defensive ability and more offensive firepower too.

■ You get no bonus points for saying "I TOLD YOU SO" if the Knicks fail to win 60 games but my $100 bet for $7k has me fired up.

Something magical is happening for our New York Knicks under Tom Thibs and it's exciting!

This would look even more exciting if you converted games to minutes! Homer on! I like it!

Games to minutes? What?

The only thing that matters are Wins and Loses.

And after tonight vs. Toronto?

2021-2022's Knicks will be 6-1 in comparison to 1992-1993's Knicks @ 4-3 (after 7 games).

Many of us watch a lot of ball and have for a long time. Your objectivity is just as valid as any one else who is not on a sugar rush/XTC high.
I appreciate the enthusiasm. But your really trying hard to convince us of what was, and what could be.
Its been said nobody really here would object to this being the greatest knick team like ever. You won't own it though. Best way to is by putting some nice money down. Then Tell us the odds, how much, and the payout before it happens.
Then you own it. THe payout will be yours to enjoy. Now, if the team falls short likely nobody will mind unless you keep doing this every year. Then your a broken clock.

Last year I bet $777 @ +1,400 odds that we would JUST MAKE THE PLAYOFFS and returned $11,655 in return.

This year? Our playoff odds were -150 (not enough to return a big payout)

so what did I do?

Bet my local bookie $100 for $7k in return that NY would win 60 games and it's a bet our bookie laughed at me for but one that I truly believe in.

But a broken clock? Be real man. I've posted as a Knicks fan on these boards now for many of years and I've never once predicted a 60 win Knicks team. This is a first for me.

And if 2012-2013s team could win 54 games? This 2021-2022 team can 100% win 60 (as long as we remain healthy).

A 50 win season would be great and while I disagree you can see why Vegas picked us to win 42.5

Knicks are 2-2 at home. Lets just enjoy the journey here.
