The Knicks experienced unprecedented success in the post-COVID years with 226 wins, making it their best stretch since the '90s. The fan enthusiasm peaked under Tom Thibodeau's coaching, emphasizing a fun and insurgent team identity. However, the current season has been marred by injuries and uninspired play, leading to discontent among fans. Despite a strong record and potential All-NBA players, the team's performance against top conference rivals has raised concerns, leaving fans feeling pessimistic as they head into the playoffs against the Pistons.
The period since the COVID-bubble season has been among the most successful in Knicks history: The five post-COVID years have encompassed 226 regular-season wins, the most over a five-year stretch since 1992 to 1997.
These Knicks have felt vaguely disappointing from the season's very beginning. They have battled injuries up and down the roster, including a full month without Jalen Brunson.
