I didn’t mind RJ so much. Elf & Quickley were lost. Randle getting picked by Diallo while jogging up the court should be a heavily emphasized teaching moment.

It’s early sledding yet. I’m starting to think our bounce back won’t be immediate and the problems will persist against Denver.

Are you still committing treason by supporting trump?

Now he has declared war on the United States, it really is treason to stand with the coup.

Supporting him sticking around for the next two weeks is enough for your ticket to ride the lightning.

The trump future is a yawning grave swallowing up right wingers too slow to escape its event horizon.

Do you support the bastard cop killer now?

Is the most scummy front runner. 

The Knicks had a bad game and he is ringing the panic bell and throwing them under the bus.

Let me see. 

Julius and RJ have been playing 40 + a night. 

No Burks, Toppin, Ntilikina. 

Their offensive cohesion and ball movemewnt was not their tonight, let alone their shooting.  Give Thunder's defensive effort some credit.  Open looks were at a premium. 

Did Berman think we were going to to 72-0.  Oh, okay, 69-3. 

We've enjoyed a really nice uptick against some top tier opponents. 

Were we sleeping against the Thunder?  Or just got nicked by hungry young team. 

God I loath Berman.  Such a septic sack of schmaltz. 

Nuggets await.  Let's see what Thibs has in his quiver.

Quickly played so cool in some of the previous games. He lost his poise here and looked like a rookie tonight. Totally understandable, but a tad disappointing.

Love to see Barrett driving, but that long two of his can be deadly. Especially when he passes up the (unlikely) 3 to move a step or two closer for the (unlikely) 2.

First time this year when I was puzzled by a coaching move. Did Robinson do something in the second half to warrant staying on the bench? There seemed to be a long, LONG stretch when we couldn't get a stop against the Thunder — I couldn't figure why he wasn't in there. His second half D has been AWESOME in previous games.

If you want to see why Bo and others are high on TyH, watch SacKings 43 point 1Q.
Hal enters just above the 7 minute mark, blocks FVV by following the play.Pops a corner 3.
Keeps the ball moving and racks up 4 assists (a lob for a dunk off a strong drive; a pass to Bags down low after a nice ball fake pretending to shoot; hitting an open Hield for a 3).  Makes good defensive reads ans sticks with plays.

Had a mismatch of sorts with lengthy Boucher on him, fakes him out and cans a step back 3.  Finished the game 5-7 on 3's reminding me of Franc.  Actually the play before the stepbacker, TyH bombed another 3, but later they reviewed it and ruled he had stepped out before the shot.

Just smart high energy stuff.
There was a 3 on 1 coming at Ty and first a rambling Big kind of shields him off in what was nearly a moving screen, and still Hal made a nice block swipe at the layup without fouling.

FVV led TOR with 34 with Lowry out.

Otherwise, a lot of players are either testing positive or being held out because they were in contact with someone who did. 

BOS - Fontcourt Trio out.  Robt Williams + ... Grant and Tristan in quarantine.

PHI with 7 players out, after Scurry 2.0 was infected, so they might not have a quorum

DAL down 3 G's (one of Josh Rich, Dorian Funky-Smith, Brunson Burner was positive, the other two quarantined due to proximity/contact)

Of course our resident Trump apologist thought this wouldn't be a concern.

The NBA is either going to have to tighten movement restrictions or risk the season collapsing.

Watched the 2nd half.
Kind of a blah Knick game with nobody getting hot.

OKC has a lot of young active guys which gave the Knix fits.  Instead of launching outside shots, OKC drove inside and got a lot of easy layups.  In contrast to MIL and IND (and was it ATL?) who kept launching 3's while their leads slipped away.
Diallo, Dort, Shai made it look easy.

Seemed a strange finishing unit from Thibs.  Randle came in at the 10' mark for Nawlins.  So a tired Randle played C for a long stretch while in foul trouble.  Even in the 3Q Randle with 4 fouls was letting guys drive to the rim without contesting.  No idea why Thibs never brought Mitch back.

OKC bench (and Shai) won the game.  Especially Diallo, but Roby had a nice cameo, the Skinny Serb did well, Maledon was active filling up 22 minutes.  Pokuševski just turned 19 the day after Xmas and at 7' and under 200 Pounds I didn't expect him to play NBA ball this year.  Only had 2 FG's and 5 points before this 3-5 for 7 Pt performance.

Yeah, the next month or two will definitely be especially tough for the league (and everyone else), covid-wise, and the assclowns at the capitol won't help, looks to have been another sturgis-type superspreading situation:

On Friday, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield warned the riots would likely be a "surge event" that will have "public health consequences."
"You had largely unmasked individuals in a non-distanced fashion, who were all through the Capitol," he told the McClatchy newspaper group. "Then these individuals all are going in cars and trains and planes going home all across the country right now."
"So I do think this is an event that will probably lead to a significant spreading," he added.


That said, the league is as good as it gets at management. I suspect they'll tighten up the protocols and try to get through it with as little disruption as possible. Players understand, and have a lot at stake, a good chunk of their salaries are in escrow and dependent on league revenues, and NOBODY has any desire to return to a bubble.

castaway?

Nope Danny offered Gordon 4-100 but Gordon got a more lucrative deal in Charlotte where he could be the star.

IMO it was more an ego thing for Gordo.

The handwriting was on the parquet in Boston, it was going to be the Js leading the Celts, not Gordo and Kyrie as he originally thought.

Gordo did not want to be 6th man in Boston

he wanted to be the man in Charlotte

except as he will find out come tourney time, the Hornets may be about the 6th or 7th most followed team in NC behind

Duke
UNC
NC State
UNC Charlotte
Wake
Davidson

Hornets

Gordon always liked playing in a college town, but had it better in Indy.
