Program note

Knicks-Bulls 8 PM

Statement game.

[carlos123]

KP with a team high 25 points in a loss to the Clippers. He still sucks.

BoZ's beloved Bullock with 0 (ZERO) points in 32 minutes.

PS. "KP tosses salads in Dallas" - Kamster the Hamster.

Chamaco, Fac told us this at 3:30 in the afternoon.

So..., lets see, you're 4:23 hours late 🙄

- Help Chamaco Cartero! -(he needs it much more than Andy Parker)

Yikes. How far is Tom gonna let things slide before he makes some changes?

He has changed the closers. What else can he do?
Maybe the team just does not have enough talent.
Maybe we need you on the coaching staff.
Maybe both, and even that will not be enough.

Fairly ugly game.
Knix comeback during a 3Q foulathon.
Both teams take bad shots.
I like Caruso and Ball.  Not sure why they didn't play together more this game.
Coby White looked awful.

[kidcarter8]

Coby White looked awful.


Yet he killed us.

[kidcarter8]

Lonzo Ball

4-85

We passed, I guess.  Or weren't we given the chance?

[bodiddley]

Coby White looked awful.

Yet he killed us.

We killed ourselves.
Awful thru 3Q's, then hit 2 corner 3's in the 4Q.

Odd CHI team.
Limited size, limited 3-pt shooting.
But they hit their FT's.
Caruso and BallZo are menaces.
I liked Ball's random double teaming.

Another empty game from Fournier.
Rose didn't really have it; his rhythm looked off on many shots.
Randle was a workhorse, but his D was bad especially 1st half.
IQ 1-8 on 3's, including a key late miss that wasnt close.

At least Knix were in the game despite not playing well.
Some scrappy D.  Lotta fouls by both teams.  And that's with the refs allowing a lot of contact in the 1st half.

[kidcarter8]

Randle was a workhorse, but his D was bad especially 1st half.


You are daft.

Didn't you notice any changes? 

More forays into the paint, less threes [7-27 vs 18-41 against Houston], Julius more in the midrange pocket [34-10-3 on 13-19, 7-8 FT, 1-2 from trey, but 5 TOs].   Better D throughout, which was encouraging, though a late barrage of open threes by [among others] that "AWFUL" Cobey White [BoD must've been watching the Chinsese translation] and DeMar's efficiency buried us...JR did his part, but the Knicks' shooting was not good, and while RJ played tuff D and had 15 rebounds, his shooting slump [2-10] continues to confound. 

Again, FACIL...CHANGES? 

What do you propose, exactly? 

Shuffling starters and second unit players, which risks sundering the second unit's chemistry? 

Banishing Kemba and Evan to the pine?  Not sure how this benefits us short term-long term?

Or that KNICKS Fan/Media Standby....TRADES? 

Thibs HAS BEEN making changes, mostly on the back end in the fourth quarter, as per WHO FINISHES. 

Again, I saw the echoes of JR's 20-21 game as "CHANGES", inserting IQ as a closing PG as changes. 

Thibs is trying to not lose his vets. 

Obviously, Kemba & Evan [ex-Celtics one hastens to add] have been wildly inconsistent. 

So, just bench them for McBride & Grimes? 

Bench RJ? 

Start Rose & Burks? 

And what becomes of the Second Unit? 

I do not believe that Thibs' options are as cut and dry as people imagine. 

But I am curious as to how you see Thibs' options moving forward. 

PS: As per BoD's learned dismissal of Cobey as naught but two late treys?  CW had 14 pts and was a +9 in 21 minutes, while Zach had 21 pts but was a -8 in 36. 

[chipstern]

Michael Porter has mysterious nerve issues in his back, and might just miss the entire season. 

Damn shame. 

[kidcarter8]

"Fan/Media standby - trades"

Why not?  We should let others have this pleasure - to improve - but not partake?"

What have we gotten from not dealing Frank and Kevin?

Is the worry of having dealt the great Camby still in your fucking craw?

Shittttt......

[Kam]

Speaking of old trades ..

Mitchell Robinson is the end result of a chain of trades that started with the Knicks signing John Starks as a free agent in 1990
Robinsons roster spot has been in the making for over 30 years. After the Knicks signed Starks, they traded him for Latrell Sprewell, who was traded for Keith Van Horn.

He was traded for Nazr Mohammed.

He was traded for David Lee.

He was traded for Anthony Randolph.

And he was traded for Carmelo Anthony. When the Knicks traded Melo to OKC, they got (among other things) a second round pick back, which they used to draft Robinson. All of this from taking a flyer on John Starks in 1990!
