Kevin Knox didn’t practice for the Knicks today because of a strained right calf. Bobby Portis and Dennis Smith Jr. were limited in practice. Wayne Ellington was out because of illness.

Friday is a long way off, but still, we do not lack for eager beavers. 

Someone sits, someone gets up off the pine. 

Pleased to hear that the league let Malevolent Morris float on his Rick Mahorn gesture. 

Message delivered...let's leave it at that. 

I do believe the motivation to be THE MAIN MAN (well, A Main Man, along with Randle) will engender at bit of restraint with MM, who demonstrated an effective inside/outside game, and that he could put the ball on the floor, and create his own shot off of the dribble. 

https://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/6462/marcus-morris

And if you look at MM's stats and his evolution over his first nine years in the league, over the past two seasons in Boston, playing like 27 minutes a night, he demonstrated a significant uptick on FT% [84.4] and rebounding [6.1].

His previous two seasons in Detroit, when playing starter's minutes, he averaged 2.5 an 2.0 assists. 

Nice all-around game for a 6'9" [pending sneaker-less height correction], 235 pounder, even as a graybeard who just turned 30 on September 2.  Given extra responsibility as a tone setter and bell cow, as per Coach Fizdale, MM might still be maturing, and could just have a chance to really blossom in the Garden. 

One and done?

We shall see.

Do not get all the animus (or any of that math). You're buried neck-deep in a trench filled with steaming shit, hell yeah you're gonna be happy to walk into a 5-star hotel room for a shower and a clean bathrobe. Why the hate? Any way, it matters not, and the Latvian gangster is a game-leading by a mile +16 in his first half of basketball in 18 months or so.

*** [and of course Randle wanted in, his last two teams slammed the door on his ass. DOLAN-CHECK??? BOOOOOYAH!]


****This team is what it is but don't hate on players who are wayyyyyyyy smarter than you.

Dear Pendejo.

I do not hate KP

Just saw some clips of him on EPSN, and he was moving fluidly and looked like a motherfucker. 

He wanted out of Dodge, and really didn't leave us any appetizing options. 

You have lemons, you make lemonade. 

You have a bowl of piss, well...

Randle wanted to be here.  Plain and simple.  KP is not a villain.  He is a fucking rival. 

Frankly, my affection for you and Dawg notwithstanding, the narrative you are promulgating is so obsessively dark, I wonder what motivation you have to even check in, ostensibly as KNICKS fans. 

Fizz sucks.  Our free agents are a buch of cast off losers. 

Check. 

I suppose when George Steinbrenner ruled the roost at Yankee Stadium, through both thick and thin, you were equally even handed. 

But of course, by your lights, I am a Libtard Snowflake, lapping up the fake news, while you and Dawg do your best Tucker Carlson/Sean Hannity schtickla standing for truth, justice and the American way.

I am humbled to bask in your penumbra of insight and even handed analytics. 

Meanwhile. 

Bulls are looking very tough and coherent, and a nice mix of players.  Really playing the Pelicans very physical.  Like that big PG from NC with the immense Afro, what's his name.  Coby?  He is a blur. 

Zion is scary.   No surprise there. 

Meanwhile, looking healthy, and no longer dealing with the fucking Lakers and or being shadowed by his lunatic fucking father, Lonzo appears to have found a nice soft landing zone.  Some really sweet looks.   

The Knicks.  Happy to have some hoops.  Happy to have something to root for.  I see possibility.  You see a carnal house. 

There are always the Nyets. 

Knock yourselves out.

We signed smart talented players who compete physically for near market rates. No softies. No plodders. No prima donnas. More mainstays than castoffs to a man. I like our new mix. Canthe coaches get them operating near their potential? If so, we’ Have some fun.

Barrett, Randle and Morris will play many, MANY minutes

I like that.  Add Mitchell to that grouping and i'll be very happy.  The question of PG will be answered with whoever has the hot hand.  I don't see a problem with Elf and Dennis competing to see who has the best chemistry with that foursome.  And its not like the one who sits at first won't play. 

And injuries will dictate minutes undoubtedly.  Youngsters seem to be more fragile these days than 20 years ago.

Dear Positive Pussy #1,

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I never expressed any particular views about KP’s departure as I don’t have any. Business decision and good luck to all parties involved.

And I think Phony Phizz is a bad coach and we’ll win about 20 games. Like I said later, I hope you’re right  and I’m wrong.

Now, for my terrible sins you want to send me to Nyetland? I don’t think so. I don’t do Russian, I leave that to Rudy and his client.

PS. I love you too 💓

The Russian isn't in Brooklyn any more.  Made his $$ and flew the coop before upcoming NBA BS/strife could eat him up.
