PS: You might notice he has already begun his narrative as to how Quickley is way way overrated by Forum Geeks and Knicks fans.


Yet I like Quickley

Imagine that.

[chipstern]

Harden is fucking up the team he is contracually obligated to.


Rockets are 0-0

You ARE a GENIUS. 

[kidcarter8]

I am.

But MAVEN works better here

Points, Kiid.

Morey and Dantoni knew what kind of ish was about to go down (mostly courtesy of Harden) and bailed before they got sucked into it.

Toppings gonna miss a game with a sore calf?  Guy's probably a bust ...
Dylan Windler broke his hand in his 1st NBA game (2nd season).
Another lost season.

Julius Randle broke his leg in G1 of his career, missed an entire season.
Things happen. 

[kidcarter8]

Yeah, tough break for Windler.  Good player.

So, shall we do tonight's minutes played projection?

[kidcarter8]

So.....

let me take a shot at this Knicks minutes thing for the opener

Randle - 36       35   
Barrett - 32       34
Payton - 28        22
Burks - 28         31
Noel - 23           9
Knox - 22          18
Robinson - 19        21
Toppin - 18           24
Quickley - 14       12
Bullock - 12      25
Smith Jr - 4          0
Ntlikina - 4           5
PINSON - 0           1



Not too bad projecting first game

[kidcarter8]

Best stated I guess...

Who gets the Quickley and Toppin minutes?

Look for a straight  48 combined for Noel/Robinson

Iggy may get some run.  And Smith certainly.  Dennis may be in first quarter.

A champ at every level. 

College.

Pros.

As a coach. 

Quiet Fire.  A Team Player. 

Born on May 25.

Passed on December 25. 

A peaceful journey, sir.

KC seemed to carry himself with a quiet dignity. KC didn't need to be flashy or loud to attract attention, people saw his strength and responded to his decency. 

a couple of nice quotes

“K.C. was the nicest man I ever met, he always went out of his way to make people feel good; it was such an honor to play for him,” Bird said in a text message. “K.C. and I had so many wins together, including two championships, which remain highlights of my life. His accomplishments are too many to list, but, to me, his greatest accomplishment was being such an outstanding person to all who had the privilege of knowing him. I will miss him dearly.”


Russell once said, “Of all the men I know in life, K.C. is the one I would like one of my sons to be like.” Bird went him one better, perhaps, calling Mr. Jones “the kind of person I’d like to be, but I don’t have the time to work at it.”

As a Celtic fan watching the Celts play in their new "banner unis" its important and also sad to understand the reason they're wearing those jerseys, are because of guys like Havlicek, Heinsohn and KC.

and I won't mention the rest.

this fucking year can't end soon enough.

[bankshot1]

PS: Kemba?  Why would the Rockets take Walker when the have Wall.  This ain't REAL GM.

They probably wouldn't

But having Harden and Kemba and a combined $75 million a year  (or whatever) for two ball-dominant guards makes no sense for the Celts. So unless a 3rd team is found to deal for an iffy Kemba ... Its just one more pretty big obstacles to thankfully complicate something I don't want to see happen.

I hope kemba returns mostly healthy in a month or so, and his minutes get managed with Teague and they have sufficient PG capabilities to move the fucking ball and create opportunities.

and they got the $28M TPE if something big becomes available over the next year.

I'm viewing the first month or so as extended pre-season, with the young guys getting lots of minutes, so Brad can see who can or can't play later on, when it matters.

[kidcarter8]

PS: Kemba?  Why would the Rockets take Walker when the have Wall.  This ain't REAL GM.

They probably wouldn't

Probably.....

But that is the deal that is there - and may still be a pretty good one for Houston.  YES - there are ways for that to work.  Its short-sighted to just think of how Wall-Walker would look on the court together for the length of their contracts.  What else are they getting?  What else could become of the Walker money?

[kidcarter8]

And any thought that Celtics would not be a BEAST with Harden replacing Walker is ridiculous.

Come on, man - that's your EAST CHAMP the next three years.

[kidcarter8]

Watching the Clippers - reminding me how DOC CANT COACH.

heh

[bodiddley]

Well, you were off two starters.

We'll see if Thibs sticks with Bullox starting.
I preferred Bullox starting because he gives you better D than Burks, and Reg doesn't need the ball.  Burks is a gunner so can play the Craw role on the 2nd unit.  Burks with the starters means fewer shots for Randle, RJB, Mitch.

Would have been interesting if we drafted Halliburton.  Ty and Quicks would have transformed our whole backcourt.
