Bullock is so important...when he's hitting it changes everything

LOL....Knicks took six Qs to get used to an amped up crowd
D-Rose is sublime....at 32, after all those injuries, after already surviving a rubbish year in NY a few yrs ago....sublime

Magic is what we do, hoops is how we do it….or something like that
& Thibs  is nothing short of a magician…
It was a season to behold, like nothing seen in 20 some years
Julius Randall was sublime, a wonder, a feast for the long suffering
It was a day to exhale & enjoy…

a few interesting Knicks knibbles on a recent Zach Lowe podcast. Not too keen on Zach Lowe - he's sort of a smug, screechy 13yo captain obvious type...Pelton is a big analytics guy and sees to be more dispassionate and thoughtful....the Knicks stuff is in the second half of the podcast, it's Friday's podcast (April 23)

Toppin - based on the Weitzman article in the Post it appears that WWW was completely sold on IQ with the later 1st rounder, meaning the Knicks were not going to use the #8 on a guard, and thus no Halliburton.  That they took Toppin over other forwards, regardless of how they felt about Julius at the time, is a problem.  Hopefully he is a very very late bloomer..

Do no harm...how refreshing! 

I wonder where all of that misinformation about Drummond came from, and did he actually end up going anywhere.  Chris Herring wrote an interring piece in SI about the demise of high level rebounder....https://www.si.com/nba/2021/03/25/andre-drummond-rebounding-daily-cover

I suspect tonight will not be a walk in the park like last time...

Come Back, Shane, er, PHAROAH.
Pharaoh is busy this time of year contending down low with Moses on a 2 on 1 break

From the Mike Vorkunov at the  athletic:
The list of 2nd-year players 21-and-younger who averaged RJ Barrett’s numbers (25+ min, 16+ pts, 5+ reb, and at least 35% shooting on 3s) since 2000-01: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, Brandon Ingram, & Lauri Markkanen.

Not too shabby at all...

I think Bo mentioned this earlier, Bullock has started the past few games on fire and then rarely takes any shots after Q1... its  vexing and  perplexing, esp. as his Q1's have been so strong...

be really interesting to see if KP can stay healthy..I am skeptical but what do I know....

For the Knicks, I am most curious to see how Toppin progresses...that will hopefully an illuminating progression...
IQ and Rose in the backcourt - well that is turning into must see stuff, really fun and exciting to watch...how novel for a knicks fan...maybe we aren't consigned to suffer...

really nice W and as noted esp., Q4...nice when faith gets rewarded...Rose coming in with the mentality he has is just YUGE!  I was skeptical as I viewed it through my orange and blue tinted glasses of the past in which graybeards would take time away from pups...clearly not the case....we finally have a coach and a FO more sagacious than the forum (no knock on the forum...)  - first time in many years...

the culture is changing...credit to the probiotic boys  Thibs & Rose - a real gut refresh....
