Huh?

All this shuffling? 

Does MP stick?

Or as this a clever back door way of getting him some compensation for signing with the Knicks in the offseason and playing at Westchester as an undrafted free agent. 

Taking care of one of your own? 

An advertisement to free agents that the Knicks will treat you with respect, thinking outside of the box?

Drummond is often a mess.  Poor defender, misses FT's.  Rebounds like mad, but we rebound well up and down the starting lineup.  Taj and Noel have been doing great board work.  Our C platoon has been terrific.


Hawks beat Heat with Trae out and Bogdan at PG ... 21 & 8 assists.
Goodwin scored 17 off the bench in 22 mins.  Gallo was back with 17 pts in 22 mins.  Capela was out too with a bad back.  So that Knix-Hawk tilt really wiped out a lot of players.  As for NYK, Noel seems to get clobbered once a game. 

I've still only seen 3/4 of the Hawks-Knix game.  Trying to catch up.

Already watched Knicks-Hawks twice.  Just a big time physical encounter.  That Huerter kid is a nice player. 

Clyde at end game was simply incredulous as the Knicks drained one trey after another, as in, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENNED TO THESE KNICKS. 

Remarkable when you think about the Knicks camraderie and work ethic, and the influence of their coaching staff. 

My God.

We went from the worst three point defending team to the best.

We went from the worst three point shooting team to the sixth. 

Th proof is in the pudding. 

PS: Was someone making the case for Drummond?  For one, Alan Hahn gets bonkers whenever his name is brought up.  To his way of thinking, a VERY POOR FIT.

What If?

StatMuse: Miles Bridges is on pace to become the first Hornets player to have a 50/40/80 season in franchise history. 50.5 FG% 40.4 3P% 84.8 FT% pic.twitter.com/4DDR37oTdg – via Twitter statmuse

Drafted #12 the same year as Knox.  Has demonstrated a very nice growth curve in terms of FG%, 3-pt shooting, FT-shooting, boarding and assists.   

I believe it was the Prophet Kiid who made a case for us taking Bridges, though I forget if he were truly prescient or deploying his all seeing all knowing rear view mirror.

Mikal Bridges with similar splits 51% / 37% / 89% for PHX.
Also a terrific long-armed defender who can guard 1-4.
They are both very good defenders, but with different styles.
Miles is more of a banger as we saw him jousting with Uncle Julius.
Mikal is more in the Scottie Pippen smother mode, and gets in passing lanes.

Both Bridges have really developed into solid starters.
I prefer Mikal, but Miles has really taken a leap this year.

The way Randle has been playing, there's really no such thing as a bad shot.
The step-back 3 v. ATL was a little unusual, but fine.
Anything Julius tosses up I expect to go in.
Kinda crazy.

Of course Chamaco was, on the post just before the one you quote from BoZ.

PLEASE HELP
« Reply #18354 on: April 24, 2021, 02:38:51 PM »

I had to clean up my cell phone browser from cookies and history.

When I tried to login again, Escape from Elba just won't let me, something about "session timed out while posting".

I think this problem was discussed here a while ago, and there was a trick to login, but I don't remember what it was.

Can anyone help? I now have to turn on the computer to be able to post, and that is not always convenient.

Thank you.

Don’t log in where it says “Please Log in or Register”. There’s a bar underneath that with a link to another screen to login. That should work Hope that helps. You can email me at [email protected] if you need a better explanation.

Damn. Every game is a pleasure.

BTW, Rose is clearly a level above Peyton, no? I feel like he's consistently demonstrating this, game in, game out.

Not saying Thibs needs to change the lineup, but the disparity seems clear. I had no idea Rose could still play this well. Blows me away.
