Evan Fournier is not just garbage. Somehow he is transmitting his bad habits to JR.

Kids look good though. That is nice.

What game were you watching?

Julius scored what, 31?

Fournier scored what, 2?

Evan is spinning out of Earth orbit.

Baffling.

Julius evidently had a solid 4th Q.

McBride played the whole quarter.  Nice that he got the look.  Not nice that GS had 7 3s in the 4th.

He said Evan was not JUST garbage - not that Evan is not garbage

Point was that it affected Randle.  I cant get behind that - but wanted to point our your MISREAD, Stern.

I know that the Warriors might be the best team in the NBA, but the contrast in offensive schemes and movements felt....disheartening.

So many good passes and easy baskets on their end. Just a lot of flow.

FourEva has been slumping.
Single digits and low FG% last 5 games.
Enigmatic player.
I was trying to explain this in the off-season, that he's a guy who looks the part but tunes out at times, goes silent.  Makes mistakes when he tries to do too much.  Not so easy to pin down, but I think he's just not a good team player for whatever reason (partly defensive lapses).  His focus just seems to ebb and flow.

I'd like to see Fournier cut and drive more.  Could use to get a FT now and then.  Easy points and a good way for a shooter to get in rhythm.  At least with our vet G's slumping, and guys pandemically disqualified, we're starting to get some run for our rooks.

The Kemba-Fournier additions haven't exactly panned out thus far.

Randle scored 11 straight Knick points to keep the Knix semi-attached from around the 4 to 2 minute mark left in the the 4Q.  A pair of 3's, a pair of FT's and 3 more.


Thibs minute management has been questionable all season.  I was amused when Burks became a starter, which meant instantly playing 40 mins a night.  We've seen nights where Randle and Mitch have looked exhausted out there. There was a game recently where Mitch struggled to change ends and the other team had a 5-on-4 simply because Mitch was fatigued.  Clyde, "Where's Mitch?"


Things getting shaky in the NBA.   Lots of players sidelined due to CV testing. Starting to limp towards XMas.

A boon for marginal NBAers such as Kessler Edwards who just put up 17 & 10 with 2 steals while absorbing 44 mins for a very shorthanded BKY team.

Concern that the Netizens are testing positive 8-10 days after playing the Bulls who were mostly infected at the time. 

NBA should probably restrict/eliminate post-game team mixing for starters.

As bad as we were shooting, we managed to hold our own, until the Warriors top tier discipline and execution put us away. 

Their ball movement, back cuts, pick and roll, are beautifully executed and a wonder to behold, even as a whuppin' is being administered. They create so many easy shots.  Beautiful execution. 

And once again, we are permitting a rain of threes to befall us.  Our customary third quarter breakdown. 

Our puppies McBride and Knox made a good case for themselves in 20 minues apiece, nevertheless, Thibs leaned on Burks and Rose to the tune of 34 and 39 minutes.  THIS is concerning. 

Julius was more decisive, which was encourating.  Leadership?  Making his teammates better?  Fournier and Burks were a combined 5-20.  One could point to Draymond Green as an archetype.  Fair enough, but Julius doesn't have Steph Curry to pass to. 

DECEMBER 15:  One has to wonder why Kemba, his shortcomings notwithstanding, got no burn?  Perhaps there is a trade on the table, and they are holding him out, hesitant to get him injured.  On the right team he could be an asset.  Fournier baffles me.  Passive on both sides of the ball.  Five shots, four threes.  One basket.  WTF?  Where are his back cuts and drives to the hoop, all that nice two man game he showed early on with JR.  One thing is your jumper ain't falling, but his passivity is unsettling.  Meanwhile we are piling on the minutes to Burks and Fournier, while "showcasing" Knox, who gives every indication of a possible blossoming, alas, for another team.  SIGH.  That's our Knicks.  Let's see if Scott Perry can pull a rabbit out his hat.  Another 2-4 weeks of this, and time to back up the truck, have a fire sale, PLAY OUR PUPPIES, and reboot for the draft and 2022-2023.
