If you had no goal this past season, you should give the $18M you pocketed to charity. The Knicks won a lot of games after Thibodeau’s big decision. Your goal should’ve been rooting for your teammates. Put down the violin.

Knicks were 5-6 after 11 games last season. They are 7-4 now. Anyone pushing narrative Knicks aren't off to good start, it's a reach. You are what your record says you are. And Sixers win was a darn good one on 2nd night of back-to-back without their two centers in 2nd half.
