That was sweet. We are going to keep playing like that if we want to stay in the dead middle of our division.

We should see if Dewayne Dedmon is still in shape. He is reportedly a bit of an asshole, but he always gives good minutes as a depth piece

Skapintsev moves up to two way status making him available for 50 games. Jaylen Martin probably stays in Westchester as a result.

Do not think it will help us much against the Bucks though

Wonder if Kam still feels the Bucks aren't a top tier team.

Great Win
Great Coaching.  We were prepared.  Had a scheme.  Purposeful timeouts to stymie Bucks runs.

Brunson, 38
Randle, 24
RJ, 21
IQ, 20
Hartenstein, 11
Hart, 10

We know there will be subsequent ups and downs, but that was a statement win.

Merry fucking Christmas! Nice to get the split. Very nice to get a game like that. OKC on deck at their place

The Hartenstein, Randle, Hart, Quickley, Brunson closing group makes a lot of sense.

Just when Knicks were fighting for a new level, the old one returns with a thud.

The Thunder game became an unexpected disaster. Or maybe just a regression. If the Knicks had simply just lost after fighting all game....no big deal. Oklahoma is for real.

But those last 4 minutes? Taking out IQ when he was arguably the best Knick out there last night was crazy. And putting in RJ? Even before RJ promptly threw the ball away, it was an awful move.

Trying to quote Thibs explanation....but the software isn't letting me get the message through. Basically he said that OKC had length with their wings, so there will be some switching and, hey, you've got to match up. 

Aside from the fact that we were down 8, and needed some quick offensive firepower, the reference to RJ as some long-limbed defensive stopper seems a bit...odd.

And then Randle picked the same time to complain over a bad non-call and basically stopped playing while OKC ran down for a key basket.

Just a fucked up reminder of the Knicks at their worst.

Onwards.

So at some point, you gotta say, RJ is who RJ is and who RJ will be.

And that's not so great. His season averages precisely mirror his career averages. The pre-migraine consistency is well rear view mirror. He may reward us with a four game streak of good play right after this post, but he's as inadequate and inconsistent a starter as ole THjr. turned out to be.

Yeah Julius quit. But until then, gotta feel our PG's could have done a slightly better job making him the focus of the offense when OKC clearly couldn't handle the Randle.*** That goes for both JB and Quick, who despite the shooting, had some patented 22 second me-me possessions that really should be gotten rid of.

OKC beats folks, yes, but think some modifications are in order. Personally, I've been itching for some McBride time....
