After a hot 10-3 start, Wiz proceeded to crater going 6-12 prior to the Knick game.
So worse than the Knix the past 18 games.
Before beating Utah and NYK, WAS last 4 wins were DET in OT, MIN, DAL and OKC by 2.
That was in a 4-12 stretch of a soft schedule.
So Unseld and Wiz hardly a model.  They've had roughly the same season as the Knix, just with a bit more front end winning.  And pulled out 2 or 3 close W's that we didn't.

ATL with 11 players out:

nine members of Hawks being in the league's health and safety protocols:  Trae Young, Clint Capela, Kevin Huerter, Lou Williams, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Sharife Cooper, Danilo Gallinari, Wes Iwundu and Onyeka Okongwu.

Two more players, De'Andre Hunter and Solomon Hill, are out with long-term injuries. With Cameron Reddish and Delon Wright both probable to play with ankle sprains

Yes, so many things to be frustrated about. 

Inconsistency.

Turnovers.

Defensive Lapses. 

Three Point Vulnerability.

Shooting Slumps.

Lack Of Motion And Movement. 

Thibs' Stubborness. 

Kemba Exiled.

And how do the old women on Elba respond.

Fire Thibs.

Trade Julius.

Fuck RJ.

Set Fire To Fournier. 

Ship Nerlens Out On A Slow Boat To China.

NOT SAYING I DON'T HAVE ISSUES WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE.  For Sure.  I'm an avid JR booster, but his TOs drive me to distraction. 

But absurd panic trades. 

Off with their head public dunkings.

Fire your 2021 coach of the year in midseason and replace him with a white bread career scrub. 

Let's see which Knicks team comes out in the second half. 

ALL OF US ARE FRUSTRATED. 

But how about getting the knots out your drawers, and without giving anyone a hall pass, stand by your Knicks and abide as they work to figure things out for fuck's sake. 

I may indeed be a Positive Pussy, but hey, better than being a Trojan Woman, the Knicks are not the only team struggling big time. 

In the East?

Sixers, Celtics and Hornets all knotted at .500

Hawks, Raptors, Knicks, Pacers all taking on water. 

In the West?

Lakers, Mav, Nuggets all below .500

This season ain't a sprint, it's a marathon.

Incremental Progress
« Reply #21949 on: December 25, 2021, 01:58:21 PM »
Yes, No TRAE. 

Julius still with a number of cringe worthy Keystone Kops moments, but overall, much more efficient and under control, precipitating momvement, boarding and hitting his threes.

Grimes making the most of his IQ minutes.  Missed his share of shots, but damn, when they go in, such a lovely trajectory...can he ever shoot.  But again, begins with his D. 

Fournier more focused. 

Solid Mitchell. 

Much better ball movement. 

Always helps when we are hitting our threes, but better shots off of better motion. 

Kemba coming down to Earth as far as his shooting, but a a triple double.  Like Kendrick said, off of his exile, Kemba remained focused and professional and positive, and now the Knicks are getting the best of him.  AND WHAT AN EXAMPLE Kemba HAS SET FOR Knox, and Grimes, and McBride and Sims, Obi and IQ that NEXT MAN UP ain't no BS. 

Still a FuckLoad of work to do, but progress, such as it is. 

Let's see if we can sustain it for 48 let alone the next game.

To be fair, that list reads like a list of reasons why a coach was canned.  I am all for giving him time to right the ship but the seat is definitely heating up.

Tough loss for Celtics, who play just 8 - and no Joe Johnson.  Burn 11 point 4th Q lead.  Tatum 0-2 with 2 TO down stretch as Brown takes big last shot,

Also I wonder if Thibs will try to take credit for Kemba's turnaround due to his "tough love" coaching by not speaking to him after the demotion.

Not really his style

But Walker does look fresh.  Maybe the early gring was getting to him mentally as well as physically

Kemba averaging 40 mins per game last 4 games.

Stan Johnson getting into Harden.
Always a strong defender.
Hope he can stick with the Lakes, who could use the extra defense.

3 mins left down 4 and Melo gets a dumb Tech by shoving a guy after the play right in front of the official.  Harden misses the FT.

Kind of perfect when you're rooting against both teams.
Westbrook submitted a candidate for worst triple-double ever.
Kiiid still thinks Westbrook is a valuable player and not a disaster ...

Long season, Bo.

Russ helps LeBron, as LBJ can rest more.

For Knicks the meld with Randle might be questionable.

Melo had a big game, seems.

May have hit 5 team parlay had I been picking yesterday.  Though in the end may have gone with Hawks, despite short roster.  Surely was in on Jazz, Bucks and Nets.
