I really like this team.
Melo and KP are doing what they do.
Bench is playing well, I really like Jennings and Holiday. Gomez is also solid.
Noah doing the best he can.
Lee is consistent.
Hornacek seems to be a competent coach.
And last but certainly not least, Rose. He is playing better than I expected. Opposing PGs feasted on the Knicks last year because of Jose Caldeflabbynsick but this year Rose is holding his own. He's lost a little athleticism and his jumper still has no arc but he's physical, aggressive, and very competitive on both ends of the court and he's won us more than a few games this year.
My only wish is for this team to stay healthy.
Knicks... We in here

@storyteller "Another one"
Just a few years ago, our worst contract was tied up in a player who was supposed to be the thisclose second most important person for our franchise - Amare Stoudemire.
Knicks fans, myself included, hoped, prayed, and were willing to sacrifice a prized possession to a witch doctor for our roster's production to make that leap that would validate the money we spent on Amare. The unrealistic Knicks optimism that fueled our yearly wish that he'd somehow be able to show that ability and health that he exhibited in his debut year as a Knick became just another Reggie Miller like dagger to the Knicks organization as we were left only to be bamboozled by the only thing consistent about him - his constant "I'm in the best shape of my life."
We now have this Knick era's "worst" contract and although it makes some things complicated regarding free agency, the person is not an individual who is a necessary cog in the machine. As long as Joakim Noah is a Knick, whether he's on the bench or on the court, we will root for the veteran center. In the meantime, Phil Jackson's GM moves are moving at a pace no one predicted and is slowly but surely lightening the projected damage of such an albatross of a contract.
That's something we should thank the imperfect GM for, whether you like him or not. No. GM. Is. Perfect.
An efficient GM will take gambles - e.g. Porzingis at 4 in the draft, trading Jerian Grant/Lopez for Rose, signing Noah - but will also make the smart, dividend paying moves that will act as a check and balance on the gambles - e.g. acquiring an under 25 yr old Kyle O' Quinn, drafting/signing proven foreign talent, acquiring a young Justin Holiday and Courtney Lee.
Regarding the Phil Jackson checklist, being able to accomplish the goal of having the future of our franchise, Kristaps Porzingis, continue to develop at an amazing pace while holding on to a guaranteed star producer in Melo in a long contract, and arguably non-bank breaking contract(considering the recent CBA agreements/tv money) and obtaining a former MVP point guard who very quickly has become the best PG the Knicks have seen in too long of a time while also constructing a roster w/ chemistry and on/off court respect not seen since the 54 win '13 Knicks team - Phil's been a plus.
We have actually survived the fallout and our future actually seems bright.

Damn, that's tempting to fly out there just for the game & come back on some business trip type sh*t.
