I FEEL YOU.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
By all means, don't abandon your principles.
Worth noting that well before Jimmy The Jizz, there was plenty of DumbAss awash in the Knicks Surf.
Off the top of my head?
Letting BERNARD walk.
Letting XAVIER walk.
Letting RILEY walk.
Running EWING out of town.
Trading CLYDE.
Trading #1 PICKS that turned into, oh, Pippen and ______.
Dolan is Dolan. What can I say. I sat next to him at the Cream concert in October 2005. He'd just had open heart surgery. I wished him well, and allowed as how I was happy to see Isiah on board.
"We'll see," sayeth the Lord.
So for me, it's a new season, and I LOVE HOOPS.
So starved, I watched non-Knicks last night, and I mean, ZION? Holy shit. Zak. Coby. Etcetera.
Don't like Fizz?
Fair enough. I HATED Mike Woodson. Thought he got a free ride and credit that belonged to Jason Kidd. Did not like the way he treated players. His post-Kidd give it to melo, Give It To Melo, GIVE IT TO MELO Offense. A douche. I like the way Fizz relates to his charges. I liked that Veteran Hospital visit the other day.
Last season was a failure. Well, we only won 17 games.
We haven't seen what Fizz can do with an actual roster not made up mostly of Charity Cases. Am not drawing ANY FUCKING CONCLUSIONS from one fucking exhibition game, but I thought his 10-Man rotation was interesting. He appears to have already anointed Morris & Randle, Gibson & Ellington, Peyton, as LEADERS. I like that. They not only stand for leadership and playing the right way, but for COMPETITION. You want this floor time. Hear I am, Kid.
We bailed on Fizz's projects?
Well, Kornet, Vonleh, Mudiay, Burke, Herzonja all got picked up.
Yet another PLAN Z?
Gibson, Portis, Randle, Morris, Ellington, Bullock, Peyton.
We replaced Pups with Pros, and kept the best of our youth. We already see evidence how our vets with push our pups.
Steve and Scott, after a questionable TIMMY signing, appear to have learned from their mistake. Their deployment of cap space speaks to that. They paid market rates on short term deals, giving themselves flexibility, and some incentive to our vets to max their value either for 2020-2021 or a soft landing space.
I thought they made the best out of two shitty situations Phil Jackson left us, in Melo and Kristaps.
Free Agent Destination?
We have all of our draft picks, and a stock pot of talent. Second tier? I think some people undervalued Randle and Morris and Peyton. Yourself included. Randle dumped by teams. Yeah, the idiot Lakers. Pelicans moving on with Zion in place of Julius, Lonzo in place of Elfrid. And we can see why the Spurs were hot on MM.
Anyway, for me.
FOR ME...not speaking for anyone else.
A team, AND A COACH, I can root for, and some vestigial semblance of a plan, least ways the patience to nurture youth and let things play out OVER TIME.
With the dire winds of winter, come reflection, and ennui, and cold, Cold, COLD...
And hoops.
KNICKS HOOPS.
Hopefully, on some level.
39-43.
So let it be written.
So let it be done.
