All I know is it feels really good to be a Knicks fan right now.
Hart isn't as good as DeBusschure (who after Bill Russell retired was the best defensive player in the league IMO) but the impact has been the same. Someone said in We Here that after the Knicks got Rose they believed they could beat anyone. That wasn't true but what's important is THEY believed it. So maybe Josh Hart's impact is a mix of DeBusschure and Rose.
I was listening to The Lowe Post and they were talking about Lonzo Ball being the connector for the Bulls, hence a very Knicks like season for them without him...
Ironically in the post game yesterday, Thibs called Brunson the “connector” for the team. He’s the one that connects everything and everyone together. #Brunnector
We travel to the Land of Cleves on March 31, for a playoff-type game.
Looking at the schedule, the Cavaliers have only 2 easy games of the 9 remaining. Okay they have 2 against Orlando, but don't think Banchero's boys won't be a big headache for the Cavs. Also they have the Magic on Tues.-Thurs. of one week and the Nets on Tues.-Thurs. of another week. It will be tough to sweep those teams. I like our chances of getting home-court advantage.
Thanks for the bonus treat Jon. Tomorrow night can't come soon enough. By my account it seems like this team may have been "blown out" on three occasions. The last time was the first meeting versus Dallas. It's been told time again that what has happened since that game has defined this season and the playoff potential of this team.
If that number still remains at three by seasons end which I believe will be the case very much. How many other teams in this league stands with the Knicks with least amount of blow out losses or losses by sixteen points or more?? In addition where does that put them in history compared to other tough playoff teams in the past?
I know two years ago that team has the same intestinal fortitude. The difference to me is that this year is at much more elite level. The evidence is the many better teams they have bettered in the process. Something we used to dream about alot two year ago. That's all Jon, I thought that topic of where they stand with other teams of the least amount of bad losses would make for an interesting newsletter down the road.
Sometimes I wonder if our most realistic path to getting a superstar is Brunson just becoming one
Bang! Bang! Great newsletter Jonathan!!

It’s been a fantastic season. Keep up the great work. Love the newsletter and the podcasts!

“But only one of the two - Porzingis - went on to make the 2018 All-Star team, while Jokic watched from home.”
Sadly, they both actually watched from home lol.
Great job on this.
