Yes, OG was a massive upgrade to Barrett. The darkhorse is Isaiah Hartenstein. The only fear I have is the playtime extension on Brunson. We need a bench instant offense person. Maybe someone like AJ Griffin for a pickup could be useful here as Mitchell Robinson work on his return.

Less Robinson and RJ, the Knicks offense became more shifty, quick and relentless.

This is the best Knicks team I've seen in a long time and they're exciting to watch again!!

@ladistar incorrect the Melo team was better. But basketball was different. The Melo team was before the 3pt Era. The issue then was distraction by the GM stuff. Bad trades, bad coaching. Amare Studdamire, JR Smith, Shumpert, Melo, Kidd, Richardson, Kenyon Martin, etc that 2012 -2013 was without a doubt a better team. Even better than Ewing and Starks

I wouldn't put us in the same class as the Bucks and Celtics just yet, but I do feel comfortable that we can compete with everybody else in the EC. We're still missing one piece to be considered serious contenders. One thing that I have been pleasantly surprised with is the play of Ihart. I would have no reservations with leaving him in the starting lineup once Mitch returns. He does everything Mitch does, plus he brings a different dimension on the offensive end. Nothing against Mitch, but to avoid any chemistry we have developed since his injury, he needs to be on the 2nd unit upon his return. The Knicks need to sign Ihart long term. Quite honestly, I feel more confident with him in the lineup than Mitch

Love this Knicks team right now. We need one more piece to contend but Im enjoying games as a fan. If McBride or Grimes can step up we will be scary considering the starters keep playing at the level they're playing at. Appreciate the video!

love your analysis of the Knicks

I know this will be controversial but besides being a lob threat name one other area that MRobinson is better than IHartenstein! Face it IHart is overall a better fit with the starting lineup. He's a better overall rebounder, better passer, offers more versatility offensively (his push/floater shot and can convert layups) and a better positional defender with his lateral movement, blocks, steals and IQ. Terrified, nah I think the Knicks need a backup big PF/C. Thinking like a Serge Ibaka type that could give good minutes as a backup. Inside out game...

Played himself out, is more the case. He's not ready to be a started. Quickley should have been the starter instead of him, and we should have given Grimes to the Raptors with RJ.

I've been a Knicks fan since '69-'70, and I wish it could be true, but I just don't think that this is the year. Maybe in a year or two,--hopefully.

We’re gonna need Donovan Mitchell and a HEALTHY Mitch Rob to get past Boston and get to the finals. I feel like They (Boston) got exposed. They was supposed to stick a knife in the warriors dynasty 2 years ago and didn’t. They’re the Toronto Raptors before DeRozan left. So I’m my opinion, in order to combat with that, we need another prolific scorer and the ultimate rim protector to enhance 2nd chance point opportunities.

AHhh J Randle, the A-rod of the NBA. Loves to statpad during the regular season and then no show in the playoffs..

GO KNICKS! There goes the naighbor hood. 🗽

Not yet

As long as we have Randle no one will be scared of us.

I believe the Knickerbockers are or two players away from being a contender.

The MVP of the trade was the front office for making it. OG gets a lot of credit for his Defense but it's Knick coaching that deserves the credit for the success. They're successful because now the Knicks aren't confused as to where the offense is going to come from. They've formed a 2 player scoring system with Randle and Brunson. And when they go with bench there is noone for defenses to focus on. So they all get off as they all have something to prove. Knowing either they get more minutes or get traded while playing good. Win win for the bench. I.hart is beasting on those boards. This means that the knicks can decide to keep the chemistry and trade Robinson to deepen the bench. You can't bench IHartenstein. Sims is good off the bench also

This is the most casual comment ever. Spida has proven nothing in the playoffs and has been a no show in those games his entire career. Having another 6'2 ball dominant guard who also takes 20 shots a game next to Brunson and Randle kills the entire dynamic of this team. The reason why we've been thriving so much is the fit of this entire team and how each player's play styles compliment each others. That's why RJ had to go. You need players who can be productive without needing the ball in their hands 24/7 and can also play defense which is also why OG and DiVo fit in so well with the starters.

And our offensive and defensive ratings since the trade begs to differ with your statement. It's very easy to get caught up in the narrative that we need another superstar, but please don't sound like a media puppet saying we need a "1a" because it's simply false. Recent history has shown that forming these so called super teams do not work. It all comes down to fit.
