It’s been a while since the New York Knicks were on a roll.
But Tom Thibodeau’s team is peaking at the right time, beating contenders and every team that dares come their way lately.
They capped off their impressive nine-game winning streak with a double-overtime thriller over the Eastern Conference leaders, the Boston Celtics, all but confirming their great form.

Quickley: 38 Pts, 8 Reb, 7 Ast
Randle: 31 Pts, 9 Reb, 5 Threes
Barrett: 29 Pts, 11 Reb pic.twitter.com/5C2FOp8SaD— ESPN (@espn) March 6, 2023
The Knicks don’t have the most star power in the league by any means, but they’ve developed some strong rapport on both ends of the floor, and Josh Hart’s addition has been massive for them.
Jalen Brunson has silenced his critics in his first year at Madison Square Garden, bringing the best out of Julius Randle, and serving as the point guard they craved for nearly a decade.
So, even though no one seems used to the Knicks being as good as they are, it seems like there’s plenty of enthusiasm among the fans ahead of the final stretch of the season, as they took to Twitter to show how impressed they are with this team.
Josh Hart Defense On Tatum At The End Of That Game As Well As Quickley's Scoring On Offense Was Tough. Great Win For The Knicks. 💯

Notably, most insiders predicted that Thibodeau wouldn’t even finish the season, claiming that he entered the year on the hot seat.
Others urged the team to move on from former top-5 pick RJ Barrett, as it’s evident that he’s never going to be the star they hope he’d become.
And last but not least, some fans also wanted Randle gone after his regression last season.
None of that matters now, and you won’t want to face these guys come playoff time.
