He’s now gone for 40-plus points in two consecutive games. He dropped 45 Thursday during a 105-93 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Only three other Knicks have accomplished the same feat. Brunson is the first to do it since Carmelo Anthony in 2014. All of them are inscribed into franchise lore: Anthony, Patrick Ewing and Bernard King.

“He’s our go-to guy. Great that he was able to kinda get into that company,” said Josh Hart, Brunson’s teammate, longtime friend, podcast cohost and greatest critic. “That’s elite company. Maybe he’ll pass a little bit more next game.”

this is the thing.. we have followed some bad teams. This is not only a very good team, it's an incredibly FUN team. It's a 90s Knicks vibe except instead of Ewing running the show its some magic baby from Duncan and Iverson. It's talented, ascending, well coached and well managed. There's no shortage of guys to love on this squad. But hey I'm a homer and WANT to like my team so wtf do I know. Cracks me up when folks who follow this squad, see what's happening here and come in minutes police and Thib's slander. The man's done nothing but cook for 4 years.

Now we got a SQUAD.

Yep proud homer. All well put. I've learned that it's okay to crazy OCD bone pick on Thibs, Randle, the FO, you name it, but please don't criticize the criticizers. Anyway, after years of this nonsense, perhaps the time has to come set all that aside - myself included. You have to go back a quarter century to have a team this competitive, well constructed, and well coached. And yeah fun. I'd say even more likable - more good guys than the earlier team. And there is even hope for the future with the assets and chess playing of Rose and company.

So everybody together now...Kumba effin ya....

I heard the "Brunson is better than Melo" thing on a podcast today. Not going to get into that argument. But this team is exactly the team that should have been built around Melo. It's an intelligently designed roster with exactly the right kind of players and coach you want to surround offensive stars.

Imagine a Brunson - Hart - OG - Melo - iHart roster. That would have won a championship. Melo was stuck playing with a broken Amare, JR Smith, Bargnani. What a shame we didn't build it right around him.

I think it does show us how hard it is to be or have a competent FO where luck is also very heavy involved IMHO

Things are turning in our favor outside of some ill timed injuries.
