About fuckin time
[Happy New Year](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BxfLtWuXgwg)
Just happy to be closing out the year over .500. Happy New Year yāall!!!
Bing bong?
First season over .500 going into the new year since 12-13 season.
Thank god
IQ going 9/25 is less than ideal but a wins a win
Leaving the 5-game losing streak in 2022.
First Knicks win on New Yearās Eve since 2011 (though they havenāt played every NYE – they had losses in 2014, 2016, 2020, and 2021).
On a 52-win pace since the first Dallas game with RJ and Brunson on the mend.
Hereās to 2023!
We finally won yayy
Rough week and a half but hopefully we play better next year. Happy new year guys
Good W and insane that this is the first time in like 10 years we’re going into the new year above .500
Just happy to see a win, don’t care who it’s against. Randle was so clearly the best player out there, had the Rockets frazzled.
Randle has been so fucking good
Julius Randle is an all-star caliber player
I know itās the Rockets but im thankful we won. I hope when JB and RJ come back we can find pt for Evan even if itās 10 mpg he still has the shooting stroke from deep.
Ending the year on a win, letās goooo
Rockets might be the worst team ever
Okay it’s time to start a new winning streak. New year, slate wiped clean. LFG.
Happy New Year Knicks Fans!
Randle was always better then RJ unfortunately I would still trade both of them and rebuild but good game Randle.
Much needed win. Going 0-2 vs SAS and HOU wouldāve been terrible. With or without Brunson

Sims is only going to last a few years until he loses his energy and hops unless he develops some kind of offense.
I don’t hate on Quick for being inefficient. Somebody else other than Jules had to be scoring.
All these guys combined to allow 88b points. The defense is back even with Ev and Rose on the floor for a combined 31 minutes. When we’re back to full strength I expect those clamps to be the cornerstone of a playoff run while shooting moves around.
Even if we lost the last few it was a culmination of throwing the kids in deep with two starters out. I’ll take the Ls and look for more great Knicks basketball in the New Year.
Deuce you gotta shoot a few thousand threes a day. They are leaving you wide open.
Good to be over 0.500 in the new year, let’s go Knicks in 2023
McBride needs to work on his 3. His defense is there but he needs some offensive moves. these dual big lineups would also be a lot more versatile if sims could add something midrange to his package. Ngl next season could be really interesting if we manage to get another decent piece and our youth make some strides offensively.
Grimes also is going to be sooo good for us. What a great pick.
– This was a much needed win. The losing streak ends at 5.
– Orange Julius showed up & showed out. 35-12-6 is a LeBron stat line. He wasn’t losing this game!
– Quickley was marvelous tonight. 27-5-7 is damn good production.
– Grime Time in full effect tonight. 19 points & some great defensive plays.
It’s great to see Evan Fournier hitting from deep again.
– Ending 2022 on a high note. Over .500 in the new year for the first time since 2012-13. That was a decent year for the Knicks. Let’s hope 2023 is too.
I freakin love how aggressive Quickly is playing. The first of the year he was hesitating and being indecisive on the offensive end now heās in attack mode with key starters missing. Itās great for his development long term.

I went back to NYC for christmas break and we went on a 5 game losing streak. Just flew back home today…
We did it! Canāt wait til RJ and JB get back though.
I know Julius will probably never be the player that some people want him to be and damn can his game be ugly sometimes but I gotta admit he just so freaking good.
Happy New Year everyone! First time weāre over .500 in a new Year in 10 Years.
Much needed W. Happy new year Knicks fam
Thank god that shitty losing streak is over
Any updates on Brunson, did they say he might be closer, hopefully Monday?
For those who want to trade Randle, et al and tank, do you really want to watch a team the quality of the Rockets for a number of years?
Julius continuing to play well without Brunson makes me happy. Makes me feel like he really is back which is so awesome.
