While it is well documented I been drowning in sorrow with my Buffalo Sabres I get a pleasant text from my friend that said
“ 9 in a row Huh”
Confused as to what the hell he was talking about he spits out that the Knicks have won
🥳 Nine Games in a Row 🥳
So I quickly go to my ESPN app and I check the box score of the last Knicks win and I see
KAT HAD 21 REBS AND 31 PTS!!
As they beat the Jazz (who I know is bad) with out Brunson. I’m so excited the Knicks are doing so well.
A part of me wants to buy league pass and start watching all the games but the last time I did that the team disappointed me in the playoffs two straight seasons. Of course right when I tune out they sign Brunson in the offseason and I remember thinking to myself why are the Knicks spending all this money on this back up clown from Dallas.
Then tthe players I watched a ton of in RJ and Quickley get traded to Toronto for a bunch of dudes I never heard of in OG and Precious. As @grayruby will tell you I hated this trade.
But every single move the GM has made has been the right move. The Knicks GM has put on a masterclass on how to build a contender.
When they traded Randle for KAT I was beyond overjoyed. But yet people still doubted the trade. Calling KAT soft and he will be a bad fit and I thought this can’t be the same KAT who I saw play really well against Denver! And that game against the Jazz proved my point. KAT makes the Knicks better while Randle and Donate didn’t make the T-Wolves any better. They miscalculated and thought Naz Reed who came off the bench and played great can carry the minutes that KAT played welp that isn’t true and now the wolves are same if not worse without KAT.
It’s been some dark times as a Knick fan but I want this post to go out to Knicks nation! Celebrate our team!!
