Quick Announcement! I've started a substack! Won't change any of the threads I do on here, just allows me to post some longer thoughts I have and go more in-depth than a tweet allows for It's completely free to subscribe and I already have something on NYK/MIA up. Link below

The pace has been pretty relentless. Knicks transition defense to start the season has been shaky and this Bulls team is testing it

Injuries are the worst. Hope Shamet is ok

So nice to see the Knicks play like the Knicks again

Knicks attention to detail has been much better since the 1st quarter. Helping off the right guys and the acitvity level has picked up

Obviously a positive sign to see Bridges knock down shots, but seeing the aggression is even better. He has 8 shot attempts which is already tied for his season high in attempts this season

Buzzer to Buzzer that's the best quarter the Knicks have played this season. Outscored Detroit 26-12

Great defensive possession there. Need to see it more consistently

Second straight game I've liked the Kolek-OG-KAT trio. Ball is moving well, pace picks up, and they are generating good 3s

Knicks defense just bleeding easy shots for Detroit. Rotations are slow/late. Pistons have been very comfortable getting to rim

Just a disappointing loss. Knicks need more from Bridges and Brunson. Team just hasn't been able to string together good play for longer than a few possessions. Still not overly concerned but this isn't close to good enough. Gotta wake up

Man that did not look good for Suggs

Really enjoying how the trio of Kolek-KAT-OG are playing off one another right now. Ball is moving quickly and guys are moving well off ball

I've appreciated some of the easy looks Kolek has created for others. He has 6 assists in just 12 minutes

Knicks have had some good moments and stretches but I'd really like to see them sustain that for a full quarter/half/game. Feels like they haven't been able to string more a few good possessions in a row

KAT has made some great cuts off ball to start this season

James Wiseman, I am intrigued

Fan of the Kolek mins, feels like he can help the Knicks generate some easier shots

Love the energy Hart has brought. Pushing in transition and fighting defensively
