I agree that beating GS is highly improbable.
Highly improbable?

Anything can happen on a given night. But if Brunson is on the court and OG is playing....we've got the better team.

After years of the Knicks being the (sometimes valiant) underdog, perhaps it's tough to accept the idea that we are genuinely becoming an exceptional team.

That is some Positive Power!

I hope Fac and I are wrong and you are right.

Well, okay, OG is not playing.

But Donte is! He's due and he's gonna want to perform before his old team.

Green Wiggins and Kuminga bring a lot of force and athleticism to the Warriors frontcourt. They are going to try to strip us blind and get out on the run early and often.

We have already split the trip. He should go home and rest.

Burks should retire already. 8 minuses in last 10 games.

Indeed you were right. Amazing game!

Let us hope Hart does not break after so many games at or near 48 minutes. Can Thibs not coach some of the many guys he does never play?

And I agree with luee about Burks. Time to find one or, better, more replacements among the never used players.

That was some incredible grit. That comes close to the best win of the season so far. Jalen, Deuce and Hart get well deserved credit in this one, but the work Hartenstein and Precious put in was outstanding.

I think the Burks hate is a bit over the top. That said, I wonder if Shake will get a shake at all this season. There has to be time for a short look at least.

Thibs is one of better coaches recently but his main fault is a small rotation. Overuse causes injuries and diminished showings.

I'm spinning in a different direction.

Mr. Thibs is coach of the year.

The teamwork is incredible. Everything is coming together.
