Hartenstein is a game time decision for the Nyets. 

[Sore FOOT & ANKLE]

The baptism of fire awaits Achuwa and Sims.  Nyets have good centers.

As for Denver, I would not be surprised to see OG draw the Jokic cover for significant stretches of time. 

Denver is a great team, and Murray versus Brunson is a premier matchup.

Still, even for a team of the Nuggets depth and stature, there are no gimmes.  That goes double for the Nyets on their home court.

GO KNICKS.

Brunson in star mode tonight!

Bagley impressive for the Wiz. We could have used some of that.

Bummed about the Grimes talk. Think he needs more opportunities since Barrett was traded. I trust management because their deals of the last couple years seem shrewd, but I'd hate to see Quentin replaced with some of the names that have arisen.

Grimes talk bums me as well.

High character cat.  Been out if sorts, behind Donte and Josh.

Out in ClickBait land, an orgy of trade targets.

Bruce Brown
Jordan Clarkson
Kelly Olynk
Malcolm Brogdon
Dejounte Murray
Terry Rozier
Alec Burks

I suspect something under the radar or standing pat.

What is up w Jericho Sims? I would think he might be worth a look either beside Precious or OG I would think he has some complimentary skills especially against second unit guys.


That's a good question about Sims. He seemed to be progressing nicely. Played hard. Not a disappointment.

And then....he's out completely.

Believe Thibs perceives Precious to be more skilled, all around.  Not that Achuwa has really stood out offensively.

Another night at the office. 6-1 in the OG era. Deuce is clearly getting more comfortable. It is a pretty safe bet that IQ will make more than Brunson and Deuce combined the next couple of years.

The halftime speech from Thibs must have been something for the ages. I cannot imagine he was too pleased with the way we started out this game.

Cedi Osman?

No fucking way I'm trading Mitch, or bringing the Israeli kid on to sit next to Fournier on the bench.

Are you fucking high, Fac?

Is Bismarck Byombo a shiny object, assuming he falls far enough down we can get him on waivers?

He has been playing pretty well for the Grizz, is cheap, has been around the league, and is more imposing than either Precious or Sims. I think of him more as a still somewhat bouncy fire hydrant than a shine guy. What is your opinion?

Asking for a friend with a salary slot and a trade exception to play with

Daniel Gafford if he is in play, as has been intimated, for what THAT's worth, on the ClickBait-o-Sphere.   

More size, more game.  Is 25.  BB is 31. 

We could give them back their #1, Sims?  Much as I would like to keep Jericho. 

Achuwa and Gafford would give us coverage at the 4&5. 

Anyway, Gafford makes more sense than going all in on Brogdan or Murray, the latter who will be costly.

Whatever happened in Denver, the man is not on the bench in L.A. because he disrespected or disrespects anyone.

By all accounts, he's handling it the right way. They like the young guy.

But you know....let's move on.

Thought your Hyland-McBride juxtaposition interesting.

The difference?

Deuce did not publicly throw hissy fits in frustration as per his usage. 

Kept his powder dry, did his work, and stayed ready for an.opportunity. 

Bones made a public stink, disrespected his team mates. 

Perhaps I am a blowhard.  You make a good case. 

However, Bones is a one dimensiona no D  chucker, now buried on the Clippers bench.

Found an article in Clickbait land,  discussing post Trade deadline buyout candidates.

Two identified as "of interest" to the Knicks?

Gordon Hayward
Kelly Olnyk.
