People keep saying we got worse and less talented. Let’s say that is the case. How many of you think we will win less games next year? I don’t think we will. JV is an actual viable threat and option. Adams wasn’t at all. I think most people will say lonzo is better than NAW. But the lack of any driving ability whatsoever limited our offense and made it easier to guard us. You could crowd him more than someone like NAW because a Lonzo drive was a plus for the defense. We are leaps and bounds better on offense now. No Adams clogging the lane, no 1 dimensional and hot or ice cold Lonzo, no ball stopping inefficient nonchalant Bled. We may or may have gotten worse on defense. That is more of an unknown. But anyway defense means jack compared to offense. To win you need a certain level of defense yes but a elite defense with below average offense gets you the Knicks.

In summary, regardless if we got more talented or not, we WILL win more games next year. Book it

Fit and effort can get you pretty far

look at atlanta, miami, phoenix, etc. they got there purely because role players and star players all buy in.

Zion, BI, and a HOT Lonzo were kind of fun to watch on offense.

With that being said, they weren’t going to win anything significant when Lonzo was Jeckyl & Hide through much of the season.

IMO, the success/trajectory of this team depends on Willie Green at this point. He has been highly praised by some of his former players, just need to see how he implements and utilizes his young star core

Yeah, those sorry arse Knicks that made the playoffs and got upset by the Hawks. It's always fun watching our fans dog other teams that have more success than us. Someone else just point out the faults of the Clippers having two elite wings. I'm glad you we can look down on all those struggling franchises..

hitting the ejector seat on Bledsoe was a huge step towards winning imo
