Derrick has to build himself back up and play himself back in. Give him a minute.

Meanwhile Elf was back and the big three of Barrett, Burks, and Randle carried us through behind a monster Randle night and a vintage Mitch night and key contributions from Reggie and IQ.

These guys won’t be feeling friendly when we see them again. The trick will be beating them without it rising to the level of a brawl.

I'm not sure they care all that much.

It was really nice to have an easy and relaxed game for a change 😊

Harden and the fokking Nyets beat your Portland Knicks by 4 points. Yet Enes had a +8 stellar performance with 19 points, 19 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block. Too bad Lillard and the other Portland Knicks were not locked in like Enes and fokking Harden. He has been the most inspiring acquisition the Nyets made in a looooong time.

Our big men playing just great. Barrett shooting better than he ever has. Burks showing consistent potency on the offensive end; Bullock on the D. The cunning young Quickley. And then there's Julius fucking Randall.

I've got no complaints. It's a good team. They play hard. They will get better.

There's no trade I'm dreaming about.

Thank you. 

PS: If we waive-trade-buyout Rivers, there is talk--TALK--that the Pelicans might by out Reddick.  That's a veteran, a positive influencer, with a skill set which could benefit us on the court and in practice, particularly for our puppies such as Barrett and Quickley and the Earthly Remains Of Frank, among others.  Reddick is one of the great three point shooters and free throw makers in league history.  A small move, at best, but Reddick is looking to be closer to his NYC metropolitan area home.  If it happens, would be nice.  If not, we will get by with what we have.  In any event, it would not sunder chemistry.  And Thibs likes good ball players, veteran ball players....SO....

You'd think Redick could hook up with a contender.

Just catching a replay.  On to the 2Q.

Does Westbrook actually give a shit?

Julius was shooting lights out.
Box shows he went a ridic 7-10 on 3's.
But some of his long 2's he made look easy.
Just in a great scoring rhythm.

In contrast Randle was out of position on D four times in the first 3 minutes, and then a few mins later fouled a guy taking a 3.  Randle was better on D earlier in the season when he was able to stay down low and help.  But teams have been exposing Julius to perimeter Bigs more and more.  I think the workload isn't doing him any favors.

Also of note: in a combined 20 minutes Knox, Toppings and Franc scored as many points as Bo did.

Bo didn’t have a sweet dime to Reggie in the corner for 3.

Well, when you have been bad for so long...

Only thing is being EXCELLENT is the game, not being good.  And there are players out there who could help.

YES.  I expect a trade

Good Lord!


Vanessa Bryant and her daughter, Natalia, spent their Tuesday night getting new tattoos to honor Kobe and Gianna … with the help of one of the best ink artists in the biz. It appears Nikko Hurtado made a house call for his VIP clients — and hooked the Bryants up with some pretty cool body art. Vanessa — who already has several pieces from Nikko — added the word “Mambacita” to her forearm … a tribute to Gianna, who earned the nickname through her obvious basketball talents that reminded people of her dad! – via TMZ Staff @ TMZ.com

Tatumless, Walkerless Celts fall to Grizz.  Celts look to deal, mix it up.

Nice!

Kid, crawl back into your toilet and shut the lid behind you.

[kidcarter8]

Trade that wasnt

Just heard on the JUMP -


Matt Barnes and (forum fave) DARREN COLLISON from Clippers to Knicks
for
Iman Shumpert and Ray (Fattie) Felton

[kidcarter8]

Good to have EP back, as I see the replay of the gorgeous alley-oop with MR.

[bodiddley]

Bo didn’t have a sweet dime to Reggie in the corner for 3.

Was that the one where Reg rose up and nailed it in a nanosecond?
Though I think that was off a nice Burks transition dime.
(I dozed off after the 1Q, so that's all I've seen so far).

Funny, for a blowout the Wiz started off quite well (except for Rustbrook shenanigans).
I attribute the Wiz early prowess to an uncharacteristic lax Knix 1Q defense.

Bullox & Burks have been in a pretty nice groove lately.
If they can keep it up while Elf & Rose return, could propel the Knix.
And with Noel's solid play, we have hardly missed Mitch.
Always good to have depth.

Btw, Rose acknowledged he contracted CV-19.
Said for him it was like having the Flu x 10.
Said it really kicked his ass.  Just started working out again.
The idea that CV is a breeze for young healthy people is only a generalization.
KAT who is just 25 had a similar experience as DRose (plus had family members die from CV). Hope neither of them has any long term related health issues.

[bodiddley]

Avdija picked up 3 quick fouls, two looked pretty cheapie (I don't recall the other one).  His 3rd foul was rather minor body contact on an RJB drive.
But was Deni's own fault.  First off, he should know that Barrett wants to go left.
While clearly help was to his right, in the center of the court.
Just force RJB right.

[kidcarter8]

Easy if you have him head up - but so often RJ is already a half step ahead when he receives - tough to turn him back.  Subtle offensive edges even Clyde doesnt see.
