This Year's Knicks remind me so much of the 2004 NBA Champs Pistons...

I know the Knicks have 2 bonafide All stars in Brunson and KAT, but the way they have OG, Mikal and Josh Hart and the way they play as a cohesive unit just reminds me so much of how Billups, Rip, Prince, Rasheed and Ben Wallace used to play, when they beat Shaq, Kobe, Payton, Malone 4-1 in that championship Series.

It just made me think, we REALLY don't need any more superstars. We just need the guys we have to develop into a more cohesive unit since the original identity at the start of the year was really a defens first team. Add Rasheer and Man Man to Jalen, Book and Dillon, that could be our starting five in a year or two when they reach the NB Finals with Oso being the glue guy off the bench for the bigs, and Collin being the second units floor general with Jordan Goodwin anchoring the defense... Watching old clips of that 2004 team just showed an amazing commitment to TEAM BALL...

We probably don't need Book to go super saiyan honestly. We just need the other pieces of the team to catch up with our core and that only happens with repetitions.

Since we are in the 20s in terms of offense right now, we can only truly win with elite defense next year until Rasheer and Man Man learn to assert themselves in the post and also improve their 3 pt shooting.

Just excited to see this team get better next year and be a real 4-6 seed and avoid the play in :-)

GO SUNS!!!
