Kevin Porter Jr to Rockets for a protected 2nd rounder. They’re gonna turn him over to John Lucas. I wish them all luck with it.

I am so fucking proud of R.J. Barrett. 

This kid is such a grinder, such a worker bee.  You can plainly see why Thibs LOVES him, and always preaches forebearance when discussing his all around game, and comments about his overall game; his defense and passing; how he rebounds, plays down hill and makes good reads. 

And R.J responds with more work, more work; refining elements of his game, improving across the board. 

I've referenced Jimmy Butler countless times on this forum, and clearly, Thibs is referencing that as well. 

Last year in 1704 minutes R.J. had 50 offensive rebounds.  This year in 593 minutes he has 25. 

Last year in 56 games he made 156-254 FTs, at a .614%.  This year in 16 games he is 61-81, converting at a .753% clip. 

As a shooter?  Work to do, for sure, but R.J. is morphing into a butterfly before our eyes. 

Last night he was 10-17, 2-3 from trey, 6-8 from the FT line for 28 points. 

R.J. has had his Saul on the Road to Tsarsus Moment.

Ever hear this?

From a 2008 concept album by McCoy Tyner, featuring Ron Carter and Jack DeJohnette in a series of encounters between the pianist and sundry pickers: GUITARS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJE2Ry9DuRE

"Trade Winds" 

This is a composition by my old friend, banjo player BELA FLECK. 

Bela's cyclical rhythmic-thematic variations really echo those of his tribal elder, the pianist Tyner, in a gripping Coltraneish mode, with echoes of West Africa.

Celts Mavs deal

But not the article, just speculative garbage.

What's interesting is this pic for whatever it is they're promoting ...

Pretty bad trade idea.

They have another one about trading Alec Burks to the Lakers for somebody I never heard about and a future second rounder.

I suspect Chamaco Cartero is the editor in chief.

So Thibs looking to play Elfrid and Immanuel together more.  Nice.

Payton deserving of a boost to 32-33 minutes a night.

That’s hilarious.

The thing Thibs should do though in the not too distant future is swap Burks for Bullock in terms of starting and coming off the bench.

Kings have some nice players and we played mentally and physically tired. We caught the loss.

Hali is a damn nice player. He Definitely QBd the win for his team tonight. Holmes is damn impactful too.

Regroup & play better time for our Knicks.

Schedule loss.  Hard to make threes on tired legs.  Hard to win games making 5 out of 22 threes.

TyH looked great.  My only question on him is how high is his ceiling.  Is his game (polished as it is) close to his ceiling already?  OR is he a Curry in the making?
