Didn't find last night's game universally awful.

On the offensive side, we showed a revitalized sharing is caring ethos til late in the first half  (whatever Chip thinks, @25 FGA for Brunson will be evidence of a fail most nights) which even got Obi involved. A lot further to go in that area....

On the defensive side, a world of hurt awaits til Mitch gets back no doubt, but we can surely do better than that.

We are in the process of finding out how much we underpaid Mitch.

Underpaid?

You forget that there was, and is, the issue of his vulnerability/propensity for injuries.

Interesting.

Yes, better ball sharing.

Yes 25 fga per game?  Waiter?  More assists please.

Your propensity for injury argument is a canard

Everyone can get injured.

Like, is that really your argument?

There are always guys who are more injury-plagued in their career. Wake up. Robinson is one of those guys!

I'm glad we signed him. I think he's worth the risk! But I do not think, at this point, that he is "underpaid."

Which was the initial comment by one of our learned colleagues that I was responding to.

116, 139, 125.

We were keeping under 112. What changed?

Cavs up next.

Brunson playing pretty much just one end of the court.  Only works when offense is performing better.  And sometimes not even then (see WAS game where we shoot 59 per cent and lose)

Never Too Early
« Reply #26007 on: January 23, 2023, 10:51:25 AM »

After Last Night, I Made My First Perusal Of The 2023 Mock Drafts

NEVER TOO EARLY, I RECKON

New York And Dallas are BOTH...25-23

Which translates to the 20th and 21st seeds

We apparently also have protected #1 picks from the Pistons [Top 18 Protected] and the Wizards [Top 14 Protected]. 

Our own second rounder is presently #50

Apparently we offloaded several #2 picks to divest ourselves of Kemba Walker.   

Our 2025 #2 pick was stripped as penance for Jalen Brunson. 

Facil, don't give up on the Wizards pick quite yet.  They are only 1-1/2 games behind the Bulls for the 10th PlayIn Slot. 

WHAT ELSE.

FILE UNDER Bizzare

Saw a bizzare item floating a Cam Reddish for Grayson Allen transaction as a possibility.  GO FIGURE. 

File under REALLY Bizzare: Anyone notice that when the Raptors were assessed a technical, I think it was a flagrant OneShot/Possession, and the Knicks could annoint ANYONE to shoot the free throw, instead of sending Brunson to the line, THIBS ANNOINTED JULIUS, who as even the most devout Randle enthusiasts know, is a very streaky FT Shooter. 

File under EXCEPTIONALLY BIZZARE & UNCONSCIONABLE:  Obi came out on fire.  He shot 4-5 from trey, and Thibs played Sims [who played well] 33 minutes, and Obi 11.  ELEVEN.  Raptors with no center, no big over 6'8" or 6'9".  I mean, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

File under What The Actual Fuck, REDUX:  Raptors had 7 turnovers, the Knicks had 16.  Raptors shot 28-35 from the FT Line [80%], while the Knicks were 18-26 [69.2%], even as they shot 48.8% from the field and 43.9% from trey. 

In Other Words....

DEFENSE, TURNOVERS, FREE THROWS   

DEFENSE, TURNOVERS, FREE THROWS Sink Us Again

If you see us shot and lost, you are even more pessimistic than I am.
