Don't sleep on the Nets

Nice to see IQ getting his MOJO back

PS: Every lameass Clickbait phantasy trade includes Hartenstein.  HELLO.

Julius is still an adventure when he over dribbles, but the transformation to His Game With a relentless NorthSouth ficus

A has been gratifying

As transcendent as JB was, my fave moment was when he made the steal and rewarded JR for galloping up the floor on the break with a highlight Dunk pass

JB = LeaderSHIP

Julius
Jalen
RJ

Not just IQ

The ball was really moving against the Raptors.

Jazz?

Other than Julius, who looks to pass out of coverage. Not enough extra.passes, settling for threes, and missing a shitload.

So much for recent trends of extra passes and attacking the hoop.

Also, getting killed by treys and offensive boards.

And yes, Dawg, IQ does have stretches  of one on five.

Goodbye Dylan Windler. Hello again Taj Gibson.

A very minor tweak, but I think it helps.

A player-coach who gives us coverage at the 4&5 spots.

High character cat.

Yeah, stuff's gonna shake up for sure. Hopefully we'll act appropriately when it does, or stand put if inappropriate.

Good stuff last night, dosage correct for Julius, very promising going forward, and so nice to see Hart back in post-trade mode. Not surprised the season assist high came with Allonzo Trier II Immanuel Quickley out!

Funny but hardly fair

We've got a good, scrappy, hard-working squad. They will win a good chunk of games.

But they've got a ceiling...and it's just not as high as the Bucks or the Celtics (to name just two).

This doesn't mean anyone knows exactly what the Knicks should do next. But it does mean that we should know how far we go...if we more or less do nothing at all.

Our hands would seem to be tied.

What if any significant options present themselves?

NONE

An 8-10 week window for our starting center's return.

Meanwhile, IQ has some knee sorenes and is questionable for tonight.

We now return to the next editions of Trader Vic.

PS: I particularly enjoyed Kam floating the notion of trading Brunson.  That was inspired.

Yeah. I was just thinking we want no part of them in a series. Still, we hung in and fought for three quarters. Jules had a pretty huge game, just not enough when the opponent manages sixty percent from the field and from three.

Well, we got ONE COMPETITIVE HALF

Julius played the game of his life. 

But man oh man did they ever undress us from trey. 

PS: IQ coming down to Earth after a recent epic run.

PPS: Work to be done.  I'm wondering if Grimes might not get more looks, touches, opportunities to create on the second unit.  A forgotten man on the starting five.

Why expect a pounding?

I expect a competitive game.

Mitchell Robinson's outreach to his HS coach on the death of his wife.

They nurtured him, he nurtures them back.

MR is a kind man.  A real mensch
