Good post re: recent picks

If Knox remains and Obi fires we could almost forgive the Frank draft

But really we shouldn't be conjoining different mgt groups in discussion.

Could we, given KP's headcasedness, revisit that draft as well, especially as he continues to miss court time?

So, assuming Rivers will not play, what do we see as minutes distribution for Wednesday vs Indiana?  Can Noel be any help vs our usual nemesis Sabonis?

Isola this morning speaking of the dwindling 2021 class

Olafipo, , maybe Dinwiddie and Lowry.  Reddick.  Danny Green

Names OKC and San Antonio as the others with huge cap space.

What happened to your team?
I was watching the knicks, so didn’t see the game.
But apparently the Celts were thoroughly outplayed by the Nyets, in Boston!
Maybe Steve Nash knows how to coach?

Hey Carlos-Happy Holidays!

I didn't see the game either, which considering the results was a win!

I saw the Celts first game against the 76ers a couple of days ago mostly to see the new guys

I don't put much  stock in pre-season games, but the thing that stuck out in that game was Pritchard, the guard out of Oregon didn't look lost, and the Celts need a good PG in Kemba's absence to run the O. They looked too helter-skelter and throwing up bad shots. Teague may or may not be the short-term band-aid. That 28M TPE may get cashed this year.

I saw the box-score from last night and just going by the #s, 18% from 3-land doesn't win a lot of games.

On the Nets side if Durant and KI stay healthy and team focused and let Nash worry about coaching, they could be pretty good.

I'm not too worried about the Celts I figured they will play the first few weeks working around Kemba and TT injuries by playing the last two draft classes a little more than usual to see if the kids (GW, Langford (he's hurt) TimeLord, Nesmith, Pritchard) can contribute later in the season. It also means they will probably play small. Which might mean a bumpy ride for awhile.

Knicks have the picks for Harden.  Let's build a hypothetical

Barrett (not saying I do it), Randle, 2 number 1s, but not our own '21.

What else?

Fuck this trade. 

Barrett, Mitch, the Dallas picks

Numbers don't work without Randle.

Oh, alright then... Randle

Hey! Hey!

You want a Hardon in the Gardon you gotta pay the mon.

And suppose one does not give a fuck about him and his ego, and is unwilling to gut the team to go from the NY Knicks to the Manhattan Hardons? 

Tom Thibodeau is the coach.  Leon Rose/Walt Perrin/Scott Perry the brain trust.  Not interested in investing that power in James Harden, no matter his epic talent.  The price on so many levels is just too fucking high.

When you see click paint projecting the Miami Heat trading Duncan Robinson/Tyler Herro or the Sixers trading Ben Simmons, well...that stockking over the fireplace will be empty this XMAS.

The Nyets talent level and reserves are SIGNIFICANT. 

Not to mention LaVert, Harris, Irving, Duncan....DEAD EYE SHOOTERS COMING OUT THE ASS. 

Will be a challenge for our Knucks just to stay on the court with the Nyets.

Our Power Forwards?

Julius And Obi?

Combined for 12 Assists

And this bears repeating. 

Mitchell played 27 minutes, and obviously none of them were against Drummond, but McGee was in there, and he is a pretty solid sender....12 rebounds, 4 blocks and NO FOULS.

SIDEBAR: Knicks gave an Exhibit 10 to Bryce Brown, a 6'3" PG/SG out of Auburn, who was a teammate of Jared Harper, and Harper was a HS team mate of the Cavs PG Collin Sexton.  There was play by Harper which really made me smile, where Sexton gave Jared a seriies of jukes, and our G-Leaguer suddenly set his feet, anticipating the next move, planted his feet, established position, and got steamrolled on his way to an offensive foul call.  Brown got five minutes at the end of the game, and knocked down one of two treys.  Harper brought Auburn to the Final Four.  Can see why. He ain't cosmic, but JH checks a lot of the same boxes as IQ. 

Theo Pinson.  Our other 2-Way Signing.  Jared took Allonzo's spot, and Theo took Kadeem Allen's.  Is 25 out of North Carolina.  Does not appear to have much of a jump shot in his repertoire, but a strong 6'5", with a good motor, and seems to have solid defensive/team game instincts.  In 19 minutes he hit both his free throws, with 3 assists, 3 steals, 2 boards and a block.   God forbid he develops a jumper.

Thibs & Padre Riles: HOW MINUTES ARE EARNED
« Reply #15598 on: December 19, 2020, 02:32:38 PM »

As per minutes and rotations. 

I'm ready coach...

AH, BUT ARE YOU PREPARED?


So sayeth Padre Riles. 

And THIBS?

"What Quick showed us.  He didn't play in the first game...but it didn't change his approach.  And then when his opportunity came, he was ready, and he ran with it.  So we need everyone to do that, and we're going to count on everyone over the course of the season; if you're not in the rotation, initially, it doesn't mean you'll stay there for the entire season: you have bench needs, you have foul trouble, you have illness, you have a lot of things that factor into it.  So the one thing you have to do is be ready.  And I think Quick has shown that and we have some other guys who have shown that as well."

Addendum
« Reply #15599 on: December 19, 2020, 02:46:59 PM »

Phool Jackoff

Having dispensed with Mike Woodson. 

During his initial coaching search, Thibs was there for the taking. 

But a Phool and his ego are soon pharted. 

He wanted a Triangle Toady.

So Tom Thibodeau?

Nah. 

"I'll annoint Derek Fisher."

I guess Charlie Rosen was unavalable.
