The Knicks have found the right formula

The Knicks are in balance, and to do so they will have to wait for the 26th game of the season. Last night, against the Hornets, Julius Randle and his companions recorded the third consecutive victory, and here they are 8th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 13 wins out of 13 losses. At the soft underbelly center, they have the Nets and Pacers in their sights to settle in the Top 6, even the Top 4.

« We just play hard, really hard, we compensate for the mistakes of others and we don’t care if one of us scores “, reacts Quentin Grimes, who pushed Evan Fournier to the back of the bench. It’s now been three weeks since the Frenchman entered the field, and the results prove Tom Thibodeau right, who prefers to work with a short rotation of 8.9 players.

Youth and enthusiasm

Among the players benefiting from this reduced rotation is young Miles McBride. He took over from Derrick Rose and his enthusiasm pleases his coach. “When someone makes a big effort like that, it can only unite and inspire the whole team.” believes the Knicks coach on an egregious action by his young leader. “If we don’t get excited about this kind of action, then we can’t get excited about anything.”

Back-to-back winners of Cleveland, Atlanta and Charlotte, New York will now have to confirm and the schedule remains well within their reach with opponents against the Kings, Bulls and Pacers. Three formations that have the same playoff goals, and we’ll see if New York will be able to meet expectations.
