If we believed in Jericho so much we would  have kept Micah Potter and not signed Isiah.

I wanted to see what a great game from Reddish would look like.

The gods finally answered.

That Hartenstein guy has heart.

And Brunson is exactly what we've needed at the point. Just a long time coming.

And Cam FUCKING Reddish.

Cam was our best wing by several stretches this game, as expected.

The only players who do a decent job getting themselves open and available for the ball handler by working off the ball are Cam, Isiah, Evan, and Brunson. Everyone else still just sorta stands around. You could see Memphis guys doing through cuts and working the baseline almost every possession. It gave them enough of an edge. Still, I think there is hope for us once we get a little more confident and organized.

Rose is the backup PG. Quickley is a utility guard and secondary play maker based on what he showed today.

Rotation going forward should be

Hartenstein Robinson
Randle Toppin
Reddish Fournier
RJ Quickley
Brunson Rose

Grimes might push Quickley out once he gets his wheels right.

When Cam played poorly in all the previous games, was that expected too?

So when healthy, Grimes "might" crack our top ten.

Good to know!

You never know how long it takes for a foot to heal. Then there is reconditioning and probable reaggravation leading to more shutdowns so I would not count on a whole lot from Grimes this season.

It is a shame. He would help with 3 of our biggest issues after one game, shooting, rebounding and perimeter defense.

I was not worried about the preseason performance of Reddish. He picked up where he was before he had to check out last season. We may regret not having extended him up front

YOU RIGHT CAM REDDISH NEEDS TO START!!!

but not in place of Fournier, in place of RJ!

The free minutes for RJ have GOT to come to an end.

It is hard to fathom that the PHYSICAL COST of getting Mitchell was apparently, reportedly ONLY RJ + IQ.

WE GONNA FEEL THAT FOR A WHILE.

You are going to talk to me about draft picks????? We haven't drafted a player whose career looks as good as DM's is looking since 1987 and arguably since 85. WTF you worried about draft picks for? That's like 60 players over the last third of a century....NOT ONE. A 60-1 shot we end up crying over one of those draft picks.

Ain't gonna be no missed Wembanyama opp when he's on the roster he helps teams win. People mumbling "unprotected" like it means holy grail.

Fun stuff last night. Was super happy for Hartenstein whose pre-season had screamed third-string center and nothing more.

And Brunson with that regulation end magic stop. Lots of fun. Evan lands that shot and we're almost up there with the legendary 2006 3-OT season opener against the Grizz.

NO MORE FREE MINUTES FOR BARRETT. CAN'T STAND THAT SHOW. SEEN IT SO MANY TIMES. 3-18 MY ASS. SIT THAT BOY DOWN WHEN HE SUX.

It's really so funny when some list comes out and RJ isn't on it and Knick fans scream DISRESPECT DISRESPECT but the bottom-line is, if you don't have some kind of HomerRoseyBlindersOn that so far in his career he is  a NETLOSINGPLAYER on more nights than not.

How you gonna be on a young best this or that list when the scales still tip that way consistently?

So far he helps teams lose.

Chip gonna tell me ONE BAD GAME WHY YOU SCREAMING LIKE THAT.

But we seen that one game a thousand times already.

Year four. Time is up. He better bring it, now, or bench it, or we are gonna hurt.

*** he always looks more comfortable with the second-unit crew anyway

Someone has to say it

Nice effort - though in a tough loss - by Donovan Mitchell last night.

Games like last night show we may be almost there (top 4, conference).  The "this one guy aint gettin us anywhere" talk can cease.
