Yeah, such a fucking pleasure to watch these guys play.

Crazy.

And Quickley! Cool as a cucumber.

Randle seemed to be oscillating between throwing the game away and saving it for us.

Trey Young cracked against our pressure when it counted.

Nice fucking win.

RJ & Quickley, Randle, Rivers, Mighty Mitch. Knox and Bullock with their moments and hard work from Elf.

Burks back would be nice.

How many bigs did we play this game?

Randle seemed to be oscillating between throwing the game away and saving it for us.

How many bigs did we play this game?

He did appear to lose some focus in the 4th but maybe he was just gassed.

I thought we were actually playing too unselfishly early 4th and asking Randle to bail us out. 

IQ and Rivers passed up a lot of open looks they later started taking.

The Quivers backcourt has officially arrived.

Payton didn't play poorly but he missed a ton of layups after doing a good job getting into the paint.

RJ Barrett is just consistently very good.   Love what he brings.  Outplayed Bo's guy DeAndre.

Quickley is a man!  Why was he a projected 2nd rd pick?  Thank goodness for our Kentucky connections.

Even Knox made a contribution, his three at the end of the 3rd was huge.

Randle, Quicks, Rivers, RJ, and Mitch with some big time defense down the stretch....

That's the finishing lineup.

With Payton, Burks, Bullocks, Noel representing a high quality vet bench.

This team is going places.

40 wins!

He has my permission to finish games from now on.

A few more games like this and his play willl allow thibs to make him the starter without raising any ire in the locker room.

See Doug Pederson for an example of a coach who pulled his starter too soon and probably lost half his locker room.

Off a marvelous Randle dish - I agree.  Huge shot cuts it from 7 to 4.

Kev gets to his spots, no doubt.

lol, lol, lol....ire in the locker room is created when a coach DOESN'T DO THE THINGS THAT WILL LEAD TO WINS...nobody cares a$$ about Elfrid Payton's ego, Thibs will do exactly what he thinks will produce the most victories...period. Whenever. However.

Full of yourself much?   You should feel lucky I didn't say anything after Payton's huge FU game.

Also you only went pom-pom gurl after the Milwaukee win.  My pick preceded that victory.

You're picking after the bell has rung.

There is a PomPom Auxiliary. 

Not everyone could be a first adaptor. 

Hell, I wear pink panties and didn't have the cheek to wager more than a final record of 33-39. 

All conscripts are welcome, whether or not they are Julius Deniers, Anti-Obi, Kenny Atkinson boosters, Mike Miller groupies....

I finally had the courage to text Miras and suggest it might be safe to come out and play. 

Last time I did that, it was a Fizdale False Alarm, and I do not believe I have raised my credibility much in his estimation. 

So Kam, if Dawg is feeling his Alpo, being an asshole is kind of a matter of principle with him, as it enables him to fight off fleas and sustain an appetite. 

An appetite...for Victory. 

As for Elfrid? 

No reason why he should not continue to start and get meaningful minutes.  Takes the pressure off of Immanuel, and based on the fourth quarter tonight, and 33 minutes for Rivers, who finishes out is what matters, and there is a lot Payton can teach HIGH IQ, which the rook has readily acknowledged. 

As for the future, Quick is winning coach's confidence, and making a very good case for nodding and smiling when he says he patterns his game after Lou Williams, CJ McCollum and Avery Bradley. 

I'll take it. 

Jazz on Wednesday a much, cough, STERNER CHALLENGE. 

Young/Reddish vs. Conley/Mitchell? 

A much higher level of experience and command, much as I dig Ice Trae. 

The Garden will be....rocking, so to speak.

Don’t feel bad Kamster.

After all, my doggie don’t talk to prawns, but he talked to you.

That’s a privilege! 🐶😜😉

PS. Good as he’s been, I hope Thibs is able to lower the minutes for Randle and Barrett. Not sure 40+ a game is sustainable for any player in the long run.

Favorite Knick
« Reply #16094 on: January 05, 2021, 02:53:08 AM »
Hard to pick a favorite Knick this year.

Austin Rivers has been a revelation and is a 2nd gen Knick who is saying all the right things we fans want to hear.

We drafted a rookie of the year candidate, just not the guy everyone thought.

Orange Julius has played at a LeBron-like level and could get some MVP nods if the vote were held today.

and RJ Barrett has the look of a future all-star do-it-all type.

This is the most fun start to a Knicks season since the JKidd year.

But we were supposed to compete that year.

If we make the playoffs this season wouldn't that be something?
