Peyton 5-2-5
Ntilikina 9-5-3
Obviously don't want to read too much into it, but a win's a win, and team work is team work, even if it is against another bottom feeder such as the Wiz.
Knox and Ntilikina making some steps forward.
Mitch took a jumper (he missed, but hold that thought, to go with those 5 points-7 boards-1 assist-1 steal-4 blocks]
RJ overcoming a chilly start by MANNING UP in the third quarter. The kid is a work in progress, but HE MAKES PLAYS and knows how to play. The jumper will come. Hell the jumpers DID COME...two very impressive threes, to go with D, movement without the ball, good passes, hitting his spot.
Randle with 7 fucking assists.
And Morris with 17 points in 19 minutes, scoring in side out side all around the town, then going Tommy 7 and channeling his Inner Rick Mahorn/Bob Gibson in bouncing a ball off a kid's head, which in baseball is called a message pitch.
Anyway...
Hopefully we will really stink up the Garden on Friday so that Dawgy Bag & Pedro Pendejo can engorge their penile pencils, reach full satirical tumescence, and make with the money shots to advance their peevish narratives with witty ejaculations of snark jizz.
