Shoots well but still provides a deadly awful plus-minus. This might be a job for the GM.

Grimes and McBride and Donte some minutes. 

Roby stroked a few threes  and had a physical presence

got to say, oh never mind, the truncate phenomena in full effect and just too hard to post

It looks like the rotation is staying pretty solid. I hope Thibs shelves the Sims at PF experiment in favor of playing Roby behind Randle.

The surprising competition is in the backup PG category where Deuce seems to be playing up to Quickley while Quickley is playing down to Deuce. It will be interesting to watch.

Mitch Hartenstein
Randle Roby
RJ Hart
Grimes DiVincenzo
Brunson ?

I do not mind going 11 deep to start.

[facilitatorn]

And we just waived Roby and Jaylen Martin. SMH.

Perhaps they are resigned on Exhibit 10 contracts.

Pick time

There is a book on Brunson written in the Miami series and the league tends to take note.

We regress

35 wins.

Come on, I'll bite. What were you going to say?

[elephant]

What was it, a year or two back when I couldn't get the forum on Chrome anymore. Safari would work.

And now the Google gods seem to be letting me in via Chrome again.

Wrote a longer message (of Knick despair), but when I post, half of it disappears.

No idea why. There are no em-dashes or any possible trigger that I can find.

Has this been happening to anyone else? Suggestions?

Some blather about not liking "sit the stars" lineups in preseason games.

Understand needing to see different players in extended minutes, but would seem to be more insightful if it wasn't 5 scrubs at once.

No great loss to the forum for sure.

(posting mobile never works for me, Safari on Mac cooperative lately)

(preseason is just preseason, but has me a little unsettled, not seeing the things I would think need to happen if we were to build on last year, but just preseason, so....)

[elephant]

Look. I'm a Knicks freak. Saw pretty much every game the last few years.

And now we seem to have a pretty solid team.

But why is that word "solid" so fucking dreary? Why is this the first time in years I'm not jazzed about the season starting?

It's a genuine question. Not rhetorical.

You know my bias. I think the Thibs+RJ+Randle consortium must be broken up. They have a ceiling and they’ve already reached it. And yeah, I thought it was the perfect time to trade RJ, but no deal materialized. And now we’ve got a solid but wildly predictable coach who seem destined to extinguish any joy I feel from the team. And while I’ve been delighted to see Brunson onboard, he ain’t Jesus and I suspect there’s only so much this team can do differently.

So maybe that’s it. Or some of it. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll be surprised. I’d love to be surprised.

But I’m not holding my breath.

[facilitatorn]

To be fair, we tend to look bad until we stop playing Evan.

Donte looks to be a solid boost to our squad.

My Roby hopes have now transferred to Jacob Toppin. We need an athlete who covers ground among our forwards.

Efficiency and clarity of purpose are going to be key factors. It would really help to get off to a strong start.

[chipstern]

Not feeling it, huh, Elephant.

[chipstern]

Must say I am baffled by the Roby move, and other deck chair reshuffling.

Wondering if this betokens some more significant move.

Wonder if we should read anything into the lack of movement on the IQ front.
