There was the odd voice tumbling out of the upper reaches of Madison Square Garden, aimed at whichever Knick had just turned the ball over.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Knicks won the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, of course, 116-96, because the Kings are that bad and they are that depleted, missing De\u2019Aaron Fox, depriving the Garden the chance to outright covet Fox across 48 minutes while hoping to see a Knicks win, too. But that didn\u2019t really satisfy the customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A minute left in the third quarter, the Knicks expanding their lead to 21, the fans weren\u2019t cheering the starters still on the court. Their attention \u2014 and their affection \u2014 was elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWE WANT REDDISH!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>WE WANT REDDISH!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>WE WANT REDDISH!\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It felt like a message from the fans that extended beyond Tom Thibodeau, who on Friday in Milwaukee had said of Cam Reddish: \u201cWe like who he is. We like the talent. And right now \u2014 it\u2019s a long season. We traded someone who wasn\u2019t in the rotation so you can\u2019t keep adding to it without taking someone out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The message, which probably was intended more for Leon Rose than for Thibodeau, was this: Feel free to take someone out. Temporarily. Or permanently. Your choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And declare yourself officially open for business.

The Kings were one of the last teams they\u2019re going to be favored against for weeks. Ja Morant and the Grizzlies come to town Wednesday, then it\u2019s a western swing through L.A. (for the Lakers), Utah, Denver, San Francisco and Portland.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Then comes a brief homestand in which three of the four teams are the Nets, the Heat and the 76ers. Then another seven-game road swing, all the games against teams presently in the postseason. Ask yourself this: what\u2019s <em>your<\/em> best-case scenario for those 17 games?\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>So yes: you can understand what the fans were doing Monday night, raising their voices for Reddish again in the fourth quarter as the Kings attempted to sneak back in the game. You can sense they understand the Knicks, as currently constituted, cannot continue as they are, even with Derrick Rose expected to return by the end of the month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They know the trade deadline looms next week on Feb. 10. And they know that most of the roster should be available. You want untouchables? RJ Barrett is one. Derrick Rose is one. Quentin Grimes is one. And the Garden\u2019s new favorite, Reddish, is one. He did cost a first-round pick, after all. He isn\u2019t supposed to be roster filler.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else? Everyone else?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen what this group\u2019s ceiling is, and they already reached it, and it seems like Knicks fans, ever patient, ever loyal, are at peace with that. Nobody gets louder cheers than Barrett, Grimes and Obi Toppin, all homegrown kids. There can\u2019t be a deal that Leon Rose is presented with next week that he won\u2019t at least entertain. The reset has to start now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/013122Knicks066CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Cam Reddish takes a shot during the Knicks' win over the Kings. \" class=\"wp-image-21043305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/013122Knicks066CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/013122Knicks066CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/013122Knicks066CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/013122Knicks066CW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Cam Reddish takes a shot during the Knicks\u2019 win over the Kings. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>New York may be a win-now town, but the Knicks are not a win-now team, not anymore. Maybe they\u2019ve done Rose a favor by scuffling across these first 51 games. There is no mirage here. There is no talking yourself into believing things are just going to get better. There is the record now \u2014 24-27 \u2014 and the record as it\u2019s going to look 17 games from now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is no shame in recalibrating. The Knicks reminded everyone how important a part of the city\u2019s fabric they were last year. Rose knew the East was going to be harder this year, tried to upgrade, tried to keep up. Didn\u2019t work. The fans know what the brass must do: it\u2019s time to cut their losses. Time to open shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fans finally got what they wanted with 5:07 left in the game, the Knicks up 105-83. Reddish leaping to his feet, peeling off his uniform, walking to the scorer\u2019s table to the loudest ovation of the night. He made four free throws. The crowd reacted as if Clyde had stolen another one from Jerry West in Game 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love our fans,\u201d Thibodeau said. \u201cOur fans are the best.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those fans, they\u2019re ready for an extended glimpse of the future. They\u2019re ready to see what they have with the kids, ready to start over again this summer. And next week. Hang the shingle, Leon. The store is open as of now.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
