Cripes, a bobbled rebound lands in Knox's hands, he goes up for an uncontested dunk and ... misses.

Knix 0-8 on 3's so far.
I missed the 1Q ...

Nix getting drubbed.

Give OKC credit.  Adams was killing NYK with size, with Clyde asking where Mitch was.  Mitch gets back in and OKC switches him on to speedy guards and goes to work.
Just controlling the game.

Knox was somehow a +7 on his 1 for 7.

The Kid played hard. That is what development looks like some nights.

After tonight, I’m warming up enough to contemplating what a CP3 deal might look like, understanding the sheer stupidity of it re: age, dollars, etc.

Send the The Thunder Randle, Bobby, and Smith Jr. and maybe sweeten it with swap options down the road on years when both teams have multiple picks.

They only be committed to our players for one year with an option on Randle for one more and a QO for Smith if they want it. They can have the whole 2nd year off their books.

We get Paul and get out of the free agent market for two years both of which have us adding 2 first rounders.

I’d look for Toppin as PG is secure at least for the short term, though BPA definitely applies to our pick, while need might wait for the Clippers pick or the second rounder.

It gives Frank and Payton a year to learn to shoot. It also leaves a couple of spots for using bird rights and exceptions.

It's funny how Elf gains confidence and looks like a starter after the season is lost.  Two years running now.  He's even friskier on D.
Maybe the CP3 trade talk motivated him.
If Elf could become a decent 3 point shooter, he could be our starting PG.

Knix lack of shooting was on full display v OKC.

Also the passing was bad.  There were a handful of times where a pass went into a player with two defenders nearby, and was nearly stolen or resulted in a quick double team.  And I'm talking 18 feet out, not entry passes to the post.  Franc was guilty of suckering Portis this way; Randle did it to Portis later, and I forget the others right now.

In the 4Q Trier was trying to put pressure on the D, but after penetrating his kick out passes were off line.  One pass to Dot in the corner was hard to catch and made what should have been an open rhythm corner3 more difficult.  There were also 2 or 3 consecutive possessions in the 4Q where the Knix whipped the ball all around the perimeter.  Problem is they never compromised the D or gained an advantage, just empty ball movement.  And I won't even get into Randle's wild pitches.  Looked like his head was elsewhere.

We dont keep Payton if getting Paul

And we keep Randle.

Question is would they give us a #1 to take the contract?

Best to keep Randle so then we'd have 2 legit starters.
But Randle's game is pretty unappealing to me.
I'm fine with him here for the next year or two, but he's not a long term piece imo.
Randle would look better next to CP3, and he'd handle and turnover the ball less.

Paul is still good.  OKC not giving us a #1 for him unless we give them a real good package (which we don't really have).

Chris Paul has zero interest in playing for...

...the most embarrassing, ass-backwards franchise in sports. He made that QUITE clear through his nicely-adorned sneakers when we played.


no, you don't just say "F Spike Lee"

No, no new "first since Shaq" or "first since Chamberlain" or "first since himself" 35++++ for our jettisoned Latvian unicorn. Just a Friday-night league high +38 plus/minus as Mavs smash n' trash the Griz.

**** Ricky Rubio was close with a sweet +32 game during the Aaron Baynes Bonanza for the Suns

*** don't want to hear about it more? pissy off — I got to PTSD cope every time I watch the ball bounce off Julius' ass.

But Les, KZ wanted out, nothing we could do, move on, watch a lousy team play lousy ball.  It's all good .... shrug.

Just a disaster that will cost us 3 or 4 years if we're lucky.


So 20 games left, you're heading to the playoffs as a low seed, your star player(s) are out for the year, so  ... time to fire your coach ...
What's going on in Netsland!?!
Atkinson have coronavirus or something?

Kenny Atkinson has proven to be a good development coach, with Knick ties.  Should go on the short list.  Of course find out what went on in BKY, but my guess is it's some crap Kyrie pulled.  And Durant is his buddy/enabler.  Lotta young Net players improved under Atkinson.  Dinwiddie, LaVert, Jarrett, Kurucs last year.  He gets good defensive effort.

Very weird timing.
