It's time to remember Knicks are now playing the long

It’s very, very different around the Knicks this year.

(“Thank you, Captain Obvious! Would you care to expound?”)

Indeed, I would.

It isn’t just that there is a new coach. It isn’t just that there are a few new, impactful players, notably Jordan Clarkson, with Guerschon Yabusele slowly — ever so slowly — beginning to turn in useful minutes. It isn’t just the frantic, frenetic pace, or the added influx of 3-point attempts. And it isn’t simply the fact that minutes are distributed more democratically than in recent years.
