It’s a good time to be a New York Knicks fan.
Even with Julius Randle done for the season, it seems like Tom Thibodeau has finally found a rotation that works for this team.
We already knew what Jalen Brunson was capable of, and Mitchell Robinson and OG Anunoby are obviously special on the defensive end of the floor.
However, the Knicks have had two unlikely contributors and unsung heroes during this recent stretch.
That’s why ESPN pundit — and well-known Knicks fan — Stephen A. Smith tipped his hat to them.
Talking on his podcast, he gave Isaiah Hartenstein and Quentin Grimes a shout-out for their recent play (via NBA Central).

Notably, Grimes didn’t play much earlier in his career and even earlier in the season, but he’s looked quite solid next to Brunson during this stretch.
Donte DiVincenzo has also been a positive addition to this team, and Josh Hart has established himself as one of the ultimate hustlers.
The Knicks have a legitimate chance to take down the Milwaukee Bucks and get the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.
There will always be injury concerns with Coach Thibodeau because of the heavy minutes and tight rotations, and this season won’t be the exception to that rule.
Then again, the Knicks look like the kind of dark horse team that could get hot and make a deep postseason run right now, especially if you consider the fact that Joel Embiid and the Philadephia 76ers will most likely go against the Boston Celtics, and the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t much of a contender.
