- Coming Back From a Disappointing Last Year The New York Knicks yet though they are having a bad season to begin with it, always remember this is beginning and will be a learning process. The team itself is now under a new coach with many new players trying figure out how to cliche together off last years terrible season
- The Rookies The new and young talent has shown so far in their pre-season games to the beginning of the regular season that they have a lot to offer to the team. With rookies such as Kevin Knox doing well when he was healthy, Mitchell Robinson being a key role off the bench for defensive, and the future offensive star in Alonzo Tier putting up many great games recently. They all are young and with this they can learn and strive to be better.
- The Injuries Will Heal The New York Knick All Star Kristaps Porzingiz will hopefully be making his recovery by sometime in March. Yes this is far away but by then he can at least see the court and start to get back to where he was before the ACL Tear by the time next season starts. Kevin Knox is on the short term injury list but still is young so this gives him time to realize not every night you need to play as hard as possible. With both of these players on the court in a long future the team will be locked in gear.
- The Current Starters The starters right now for the team range due to being replaced in the line up, besides three men. Tim Hardaway Jr. who is averaging 25+ points per game. Enes Kanter who is an offensive nightmare for teams to try to grab a rebound over him. Finally Frank Nlitikina who is a recent draft pick (2017) who is finally showing his NBA talents on offense against the best team in the league (Warriors) where he scored a career high in 17 points as a third option. Overall the talent we currently have is great to manage and will be getting better due to them not being in their prime yet.
- Finally the Scores Out of all the games so far played this season, and mind you with no all star in Kristaps Porzingiz playing the Knicks keep all games super close. Overall their point differential is one of the best in the league with it being negative and this because the players all are playing with their heart trying to win. The team itself may be almost a brand new roster with a new coach but every night they go out to play for the same loving fans who support them through the heartbreaks in the games we lose by less then 3 points.
