I’m personally hoping we sneak into the playoffs through the playin bottom half, maintaining infinitesimal lotto odds, and that Dallas lottos too. I hope then that both numbers hit and we get two picks in the top 4. And I hope along the way we shock everyone and steal a chip. It’s a narrow fucking road, but as far as I know, as yet, it’s not a closed road.

If Mitch or Julius are down at all, we lose all those games.

Also our Division games will likely be fairly brutal for our record.

So Kam, if Dawg is feeling his Alpo, being an asshole is kind of a matter of principle with him, as it enables him to fight off fleas and sustain an appetite. 

Kam understands. He knows I was Born Like This.

Nice win.
Rivers and Quicks have been a nice tandem.  I thought Rivers could be helpful this year as he has some passing/ballhandling chops.  Helps the rook PG.

RJ Barrett is just consistently very good.   Love what he brings.  Outplayed Bo's guy DeAndre.

Seemed about even to me and by the stats (RJB played 7 more mins).
Hunter looked pretty poised.

While the problem with RJB is that he isn't consistent.
Hell, in this game, he was 0-4 on 3's before hitting a big late 3.
2nd, 4th & 5th game this year RJB really struggled.
He had a 4 game stretch of 0-21 on 3's.
His effort is consistently good.
He does a lot of good energy stuff.  His defense is a bit up and down.  But he's a pup.

Knox was looking like a disaster, with bad fouls and such, then popped a pair of late 3Q 3's that got the Knix back in it.  Key shots.  Hawks were largely leaving Knox open to help and he made them pay late 3rd.

Randle & Barrett leading the league in minutes.  Yeah, we have some guys out, but that needs to come down.
I liked how Rivers was a having a tough time guarding Trae, but then got an offensive foul on Young late.

Game of runs.  Knix opened up a 10 Pt 1Q lead, and in an eyeblink Hawks were up 2 with a 14-2 outburst.

Impressive Knix can win with their starters unable to hit 3's (1-12 in this game).
Knix have been boarding quite well.  Randle and RJB this one.  Mitch was big last one.

Cam Reddish doesn't really have his game together yet.
Huerter missed some pretty good looks.

Huerter has a nice floor game

Getting lost in their roster, a la Joe Harris in BK, though Joe gets more minutes

Both guys getting less shots than they would with some other teams.

I will take Huerter down the road for our squad, surely

I've gone through it before, more than once. 
Part of my problem is the draft pick.

Draft Avdija - starting SF
Sign Wood as FA (he went for $13M to a different crappy team)

Toss a big offer at FVV.  Van Fred signed for 4/$85M.
Maybe for 4/$95 and a chance to run his own team we get him.
(start him at $25M dropping $1M per year; a heap more than the $19M or so he's gonna start at for TOR).  Extra $10M total, but an extra $5 or $6M upfront, first year.

FVV - RJB - Avdija - Randle/Wood - Mitch
That's an interesting team.
Much better than what we did.
If we had that in place, it could be tempting for FVV along with the extra moolah.


If you don't get FA FVV:

I'd rather Rondo than Elf, or swing some deal for Rubio, he got shuffled around plenty.  PG was always going to be the tough get.  Elf at leats affords some continuity, but he'd likely be my Plan D.

And then another option would be to scrap Woods and drop the $18M per year offer ATL did for Bogdan.  Sweet shooter with a pretty good handle.  RJB/Bogdan/Avdija would be a nice set of wings.  Imagine having quality wings.  What a concept.

I can agree with BO on Avidja over Toppin.  Toppin was my 3rd choice  (1.TyH 2. Avidja 3. Toppin 4. Vassell)

But then you can't assume FVV is leaving a contender for the chance to play with Avidja and run the Knicks.   That's a bridge too far.

You can't assume you're going to get Christian Wood because now you have FVV who is here because you have Avidja.  That's a bridge to outer space.

Oh and Gallinari sees all that and wants back in too.

Fantasyland.


Avidja vs. Toppin will be something to debate for years to come.   But that's it.   We draft Avidja and its likely the same exact team just with Avidja not Obi.

As long as I was there checking on responses to adding Rivers, have to give KAM some love for hitting this out of the park

It looks more like you’re giddy with your find.

Chamaco, you must have a whole lotta time to waste to go all the way back to November just to “kill” BoZ.

What’s your point?

I used to dislike Au Revoir a lot.
Now I'm more or less neutral on him.
He's upped his defense where he's a pest.
He'll make mistakes, but he also pressures guys and puts forth could effort and makes ballhandlers uncomfortable often enough.

He understands his limitations better and doesn't chuck or take bad shots much anymore.  He's a solid 3-point shooter who can unleash a strong drive now and then.  One thing I like about Rivers game is that he's a bit unpredictable on both ends.  If he going to go chest to chest and keep flicking his hand in, or sag off and play positional D.  Is he going to bomb a 3, make a quick drive, or maybe even pass.

Rivers is always looking to make an impact, so you can forgive some bad shots or sloppy D now and then.  He also has the potential to get hot and go on a scoring run, which is always useful.  And we're paying him peanuts.  I just don't get why he couldn't find a $3M deal with a playoff team.  Why'd he could here?
As long as Rivers isn't starting, i'm fine with him.
But still have no clue what the Knickers be up to ...

Well done, Bo

Leadership wasnt mentioned but I am sure was also on your mind

We’re a fast team with good defenders at the point of attack and at the cup. We have dangerous shooters who are spry enough to get open and a number of players throughout the roster who can put it on the floor and get to the cup. We favor mobile big men over wide bodied bruisers. We are thinnest at SF where the LeBrons, Kawhis and J Tatums of the league will cause us serious problems. Expect us to do things faster and with more purpose on aggregate than we have in previous iterations.

None of our players are coming in with the burden of being clearly overpaid for their role or with expectations of being the team’s savior.

So far, I think these are all good signs.

FAC hit the mark as well
