NBA fans react with both trolling and glee to New York Knicks’ 8-0 winning streak: “Good stew is slow cooked”, “Still the worst team in NYC”
The New York Knicks are on an impressive 8-game winning streak in the NBA, and fans and analysts alike are taking notice.
This surge in success has come as a surprise to many, as the Knicks have struggled in recent years and had a rough start to the season.
While fans are undoubtedly happy, quite a few seem to believe that the Knicks will lose form and still have a long way to go before they can be considered genuine playoff contenders. The New York Knicks are currently 6th in the Eastern Conference with an 18-13 record and will face Toronto Raptors in their next game.
Most of the team's fans seem to believe that the victory against the Golden State Warriors will only lead to increased momentum:

Fans react as New York Knicks extend winning run to 8 games
The Knicks' fortunes appear to have improved in recent weeks. The team is playing with renewed confidence and cohesion, and it is visible on the court. Players like Immanuel Quickley and Julius Randle have been outstanding, but the entire team has contributed to the team's success.
RJ Barrett, Julius Randle, and Jalen Brunson are all averaging around 20 points per game, and Quickley is a threat off the bench.
Another key factor in the Knicks' success has been their improved defense. They've been able to clamp down on opposing offenses and force turnovers, leading to easy transition baskets. They've also been shooting the ball well from beyond the arc, with several players making a high percentage of their three-point attempts.
Of course, it's important to remember that it's still early in the season and the Knicks have a long way to go. But this winning streak has given the team and its fans a much-needed boost of hope and excitement. If the Knicks can continue to play at this level, they could be a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference.
Still, some fans seem to believe that the winning run is merely a flash in the pan. One fan even claimed that the New York Knicks are the "worst" New York-based NBA team.
@GirlDadGrayHair @NBA_NewYork If you won that game last month you would be ahead of us in the standings.....to bad they was trash and got blown out like we were playing a JV team which is what the Knicks are.
@ZackaveIi_ @CypressSmurf @NBA_NewYork So imma bad Knicks fan because I’m willing to trade away players and you’re a good one because you don’t want to. Got it. We’ll just stay in mediocrity forever
@KnicksMSGN @nyknicks Still the worst team in NYC
Only time will tell if the Knicks have finally found their footing.
