I added you two to the Prediction List in the NBA thread.


Dinwiddie done for the year with an ACL tear.
Marquis Chriss has a broken leg.
KAT out for weeks with a damaged wrist.
Dylan Windler still horribly crippled.

BKY could face trouble when Kyrie misses a dozen or more games as per usual.

Dinwiddie?  ACL?

Oh, man, that breaks my heart. 

I'm all Knicks but I always liked him.

Julius Randle & Thibs
« Reply #15887 on: December 28, 2020, 05:38:28 PM »

How about some respect, people. 

He is playing like Tom Thibodeau's capo de tutti.  Thibs threw down a gauntlet and JR answered it. 

Turnovers? 

Fuck you and your rear view mirror and your lame candy ass jackoff trade wet dreams. 

Turnovers?  Sure, still how 'bout these apples? 

23.9 ppg

10 reb

6.3 assists

.606 FG%

.556 3PT%

.824 FT%

Obviously....OBVIOUSLY, three games is a pretty thin sample. 

But them's are ALL-STAR STATS. 

And he ain't just putting up numbers, he is leading...

Julius's leadership was an extension of Thibs'. 

After the Philly loss, Elfrid and Frank and others were out on the court, putting in more work. 

After the Philly loss, Thibs was like, hey, it wasn't all bad, there were some things we could build on, THINGS WE CAN WORK ON. 

I am not an Elfrid enthusiast, but what he did last night was HEROIC.  Showed his heart, showed his PRIDE, and manned up.  Frank showed Thibs some things with the quality of his work, and it wasn't just that Thibs was stuck, he had other options, but his response to Frank was, good work, here's some minutes, show me what you've got. Defense and 4-4 from trey. 

RJ had a nightmare game against Philly, but he has no rear gear...FORWARD. 

Mitchell was a foul machine against Philly, a defensive force against the Bucks.

Kevin playing with some tenacity. 

Burke making Leon Rose look very shrewd.  Bogdonavich for 4 x 18 million or Burke for 6 on a make good.  BB a damn good player, but Burke manning up and showing skill and consistency. 

We could lose four of our next four, but Thibs and his kitchen cabinet will build from all of it, positive and negative.  I mean, I love you Carlos, but you miss Mike Miller?  Really, you think MM is in the same class as TT as a coach? 

Go figure. 

I was really proud of our Knicks last might, and Thibs proved he is getting through to his charges and transforming the culture. 

Baby steps. 

PS: Big challenge for Mitch and Julius vs Andre and the Cavs.

Brooklyn has no room to take Dennis

We’ll take Reggie Perry then.

The kid can play.

Brooklyn would rather play Bruce Brown than try to fix DSJ.

Yikes, I turn on the Nets-Griz game.  There's 2 minutes left in the half, and they were putting Ja Morant into a wheelchair and then he got carted off.  But they were done discussing and replaying it, so I have no idea what happened.  Not good.

At least just looks like a bad ankle sprain.
Can be painful, can be a few weeks out.
But ankles are warriors; they heal up well.

Actually I think they should use the wheelchair much more for any leg injury.  Instead of guys hobbling along with their arms around two teammates as though this is rec league at the Y.  But since they rarely use the wheelchair, it made this look worse.  Also the dark lighting in the off court area where Ja was prone added a sinister presence.

Kind of unusual to see a defender try to block a shot and land on the shooter's foot.
Mornat is a special talent.  Hope he's back soon.

Sucks for the Grizz. Tyus Jones gets to stretch his legs, as might De’Anthony Melton.

What are the betting markets saying about NYK picking up Randle’s contract next year? I would guess that line has moved a bit since the draft.

We’re leaving Dennis in NY to start the trip. I assume the same for Toppin. I haven’t seen any word on Burks.

Seems like a smart signing now we made last off-season.

Thanks Chip, I'm open-minded about it . A few more games like yesterday's and I'll change my mind.

Read some place that Miller is now an assistant coach with OKC. Why did they not keep him here?
