You can’t take too much from the Detroit game, because they really weren’t playing an NBA team. Sure, they have a few nice young pieces, especially in the backcourt, but NBA teams don’t shoot 4-15 from the line, including missing their first 7, and let their opponents shoot close to 60% in the first half.
You play the schedule they give you, and with this one you take the win and just turn the page.
We have Orlando and then Charlotte at home this week, two games we should have, and two games we actually need given the brutal 7 game stretch that follows, all playoff teams, with 5 of those 7 on the road.
So now isn’t the time for them to feel good about themselves and sleep on either of these next two opponents. This week is all about taking care of business.
Starting next week, we really get put to the test.
Just saying, I was more than corned when Pistons got the score to 12. Not too much earlier Knicks up by 19, my wife was banished from the room, for uttering the Knicks look good. When it went to 12 I was tempted to go tell her see what you did. But she already considered me a prick, so I thought why blow 50 years of marriage. I saw an interview of Rick Brunson by Derek Harper, while Jalen was still on Dallas. He said Jalen has improved on every level, HS, College and thinks he will continue to improve on the Pro Level. I’m very excited this team is completely different than last year.
Thoughts on seeing Ivey ‘in person’ ? Do you think they should have done more to move up and get him ? I know the sample size is very small so defer if you wish.
Great article as it really hammers home the point that the Knicks have been lacking at a crucial position for years. And signing Brunson was their best signing since, who? Allan Houston, probably. But as Quickley said, the leadership extends from the floor to off the court and that has been lacking for years. Still think they should have traded for Mitchell and then they’d have an all-star backcourt.
