Knicks VS Nyets: SUBTEXT
« Reply #26266 on: February 13, 2023, 12:37:28 PM »
Jalen Brunson & Josh Hart Versus Mikal Bridges

Obviously, the Villinova Connection

But LEST WE FORGET

Cameron Johnson Versus Julius Randle

Sentient Knicks fans might recall a game, where Julius lost his cool and precipitated a man a mano by pushing Cameron J in the back as a reaction to a perceived cheap shot.

Cam responded by lighting the Knicks up from Trey and sealing our doom.

WE SHALL SEE

I swear, I got no more words to eat!!!!!

(speaking of eating, he ate up all the Deuce minutes, a couple of Grimes & Quicks, now he is nibbling on RJz. Eat up son, go get fat.)

Got to keep it rolling against the Hawks and then we have to confirm it in March when we see the Nyets for the final in our series, but damn that felt like a strong win even though we left meat on the bone.

The big minute guys were JB,Randle, Hart and IQ. RJ, Grimes and the centers played about half the game. This seems sustainable. It was nice that Deuce got a little action as well.

This could be a better than expected stretch run.

The shocking development is the level that Brunson has been playing at.

It's now a fair question to consider that he may have brought the Knicks just as much value as Donovan Mitchell would have.

(or even more??!!)

I mean, it's startling and wonderful to even be able to consider that question.

Good Times in Knickland!

JR is still King Julius.

But Brunson right now is our superstar.

And I was thinking the same thing. He probably brings more to the table, to our table anyway, than Donovan Mitchell could have.

Only two games with Hart, but he does seem to make everyone better.

And soooo satisfying to see a dominant team performance where the end result was never in doubt in the second half.

Now, if we only brought Jimmer, and maybe Dwight Howard, to replace somebody in the rotation, Chamaco would be very happy.

DM would have brought a considerable, commensurate amount to the table as what we are seeing with him and Garland.

The issue was never DM, but the price.  STEEP.

Quickley and/or Grimes, minimally, would've been goners.  Figure RJ and Obi as well.  And mucho draft capital.

Who knows.

Look how IQ has advanced, as a facilitator, defender and scorer.

Meanwhile, in only two games, Hart has impacted the team culture, helped raise Jalen's game even higher and applied a competitive blow torch to McBride, Grimes, IQ and RJ.

The way Josh helped fuel the second half charge besides JB.  Damn

Was in tears.

Josh and IQ ain't Donovan.  No sir. 

But they are Knicks on the ascent, like JR and JB.

You guys really do like bones better than steak!
« Reply #26275 on: February 14, 2023, 09:25:44 AM »
lol...I keep telling you the price for DM was DIRT CHEAP, we know it, it was reported reliably

three picks that wouldn't have added up to (*ish....

RJ Barrett...then, either Quick or Obi..Obi doesn't play, Quick is replaced by a higher power

Getting rid of RJ would be a HUGE NET POSITIVE BY ITSELF

He is not a BOULDER, lol.....he is HOT fucking TRASH.....

As nice as the Hart pickup is it creates a problem, we may never have the opportunity to get any value for RJ again. Really wish he'd gone out at deadline, summer may be too late, four years of EXPENSIVE ZERO BASKETBALL IQ ZERO DEVELOPMENT SUCKITUDE

You guy like bones better than steak...like fighting to keep out of the playin better than fighting for home court into the second round ...da truth is da truth, if we had DM which would have been in addition to JB, we are right up there in East top four...with no ceiling....y'all got nosebleeds, but more importantly, Leon got a nosebleed


BOTTOM LINE MATH...LATE PICKS DON'T MATTER...OBI DOESN'T PLAY, BENEFIT OF GETTING RID OF RJ OVERCOMES LOSS OF IQ

basically you get:

Donovan Mitchell for Free

shit is breaking apart for RJ now

cause he thought he was gonna be number one guy..now he's barely number four guy, doesn't deserve that spot

teammates don't give an F about mandate to play him

they wanna play basketball and RJ is a complete assclown

OBI shows him the ass

I want it on record that I did NOT bring DM up, was sitting there happy as a clam enjoying the latest developments in our journey


*** but when you scraps-instead-of-steak loving, RJ worshipping, draft pick obsessed, satisfied with a doctors office lollipop MFers do so, I feel compelled to speak the truth

Damn, Lester, remember your blood pressure! Someone nudges you in line and you're taking out your 45!

On my part, I just offered the notion that Brunson may well turn out to be a greater force than Mitchell.

You got an opinion about that?
