Speaking of Toppin - I know not everyone here watches Thibs' Post game comments - nor do I religiously.   

In one of them the issue of Obi and his contributions come to the forefront

Of course TT didnt go negative but I was pleasantly surprised at how effusive he was in his praise for Obi's progress.

I had always figured Thibs to play the guys who will allow him to win - seeing the DEFINITE minutes projections (replacing Randle altogether in some posts) by some here as comical. 

Progress can come even without consistently big game minutes,  I often did chuckle hearing the "so and so his holding (insert player here) back" crowd.

Toppin still amounts to a major asset in this BUILD.  I know you all agree - just wanted to give that some punch.

Damn - just seeing I missed a good Celts-Clipper game

Boston wins it 119-115.

I did see Celts were getting their corner guy back.  Wonder if he factored.

CELTS and CLIPS each sure to make a trade as the talk continues to be UTAH and PHILLY

[kidcarter8]

Interesting -

8 for Pritchard

0 for Teague

And SIXTEEN for Carsen Edwards.

Celts got Edwards in one of those deals I am often killing them for - so for a day - mea culpa - heh.

Fun game of the night seems to have been Indy-NO - a 114-113 Pels win

Ball went for 20

Has 19 three pointers last 5 games as Pels apparently showcase him

SVG went with the small and not so deep lineup - playing 3 guards off bench and 9th player getting just 2 minutes.  Wonder if they had any 5 guard setups.

Lillard with 13 & 4 in the 1Q despite hobbling around.
Guy is tough and good.

POR 7-15 on 1Q 3's.

[kidcarter8]

Knicks 18-28 on 2 pointers for the half

[carlos123]

Hey Les, I don't mean to antagonize you, but Elfrid quite good the last two games.

IQ looks like the future, but right now has some tough competition at PG.

All good, u still my doggie.

[facilitatorn]

 I had to bolt at halftime, up six. Looking forward to uncorking the second half when I get home.

Knicks are on pace to go 33-39

Fun fact:  No Knick has ever worn the #39

Just for the record.

Chip's Call, Made Under Duress

33-39

With all due respect, Bo, are you shitting me?  I would NOT trade Obi for Zach. 

And I like Zach. 

Oladipo's health and cost worry me, but he will be an UFA next summer.  Let's cross that bridge when the time is right. 

MEANWHILE

HELLO...we have two first rounders; Hahn was talkiing about how Porzingis has no lateral movement, and God forbid something happens to Luka, Dallas will plummet in the West.  Knicks have a shot at making a playoff run, if not a .500% or better.  And if Detroit keeps losing?

We could have a lottery pick, a mid-first rounder, and the opening pick in the second round, which is tantamount to a first rounder, plus Charlotte's second rounder.  

What's the rush?  Christ, we're doing okay.  Not saying we couldn't make some moves at the trade deadline.  I would be looking at the likes of J.J. Reddick [$13 million], Malik Monk [5 million]. 

PS: Porzingis Trade?  Wes?  Gone.  DeAndre?  Gone.  Dennis?  Going. 

PPS:  Cap Space.  Kevin?  NYET.  Kyrie?  NYET. 

PPPS:  Cap Space?  Julius?  YES.  Marcus Morris > Immanuel Quckley?  YES.  Marcus Morris > Detroit's second rounder.  YES.  KP > Dallas Unprotected #1 Pick YES

PPPPS: Elfrid? Reggie? Noel? Burks? Rivers? Taj? All on one year contracts.  YES. 

PPPPPS: KP [$29.4, $31.6, $33.8, $36.1], Julius [$18.9, $19.8]

For the last few years, Lillard has been so. fucking. good.

Just plays the game with incredible will.

In other news, why emphasize the competition between Payton and Quickly? We can win a boatload of games if both of them actually play well. So weird today — and such a shift from previous years — to watch our point guards as a force.

[Kam]

MSG guys were saying Dame was hurt and Payton took advantage.  Regardless its good for Payton to be aggressive.   Payton's had two games in a row.  But before that he had 6 bad ones.  I wonder why the inconsistency.  He is a veteran and needs to bring it everynight.  Knicks are hard to beat when Payton makes 5 field goals (9-2).

[kidcarter8]

Problem with Levine is how much are you paying him to stay (1 year left after this)?

But I sure think we could make a competitive offer with respect to the other teams that will be trying to add him.

Great game today

I am pleasantly surprised to very likely be wrong about the 8-game record (I had said 3-5, maybe 4-4) after we have now started with 2 wins.  5-3 certainly doable - I apologize for that.

Thibs managed a great game.  Did you see how he played 3 starters the entire 3rd quarter?  See what is happening - and adjust.  Higher level of coaching, surely.  And my guess is the "vets" appreciate it.

Elephant, I'm rooting for  both Payton and Quickey, and I'm glad when Elfrid has a good game. I'm also aware that IQ is the future, as I mentioned.

Was just playing with my doggie, Les. Trying to get a WOOF!, or maybe even a WOOF, WOOF!!! outta him.
