There was a woman my mother worked with at the DOE named Violet who reminded me a lot of her.

Fac, you’re telling Chip, and me and even Chamaco that you’re a generation younger than us.

Go and flaunt it while you can, you young’un 👶🏻

Would it help to mention that it was the BOE back then and Mr. Dinkins was my Mayor?

Rose 2 Toppin....Yes!!

Celtics vs Jazz  10 PM   TNT

Elfrid, please.

We are 4 points better without DSJ.

I like the potential of our new rotation.

The Heat are still pretty good.

Ball don’t lie was in full effect tonight.

The Refs voted for Heat jerseys over Knicks jerseys consistently and decisively.

People who can do things should take note.

We need every competitive edge, even if that means dressing in fairy vomit to get calls like Miami does.

Er, I only saw the 4Q collapse.
Physical high energy game.

Butler 13-15 on FT's, but missed two in the last few minutes.

Maybe Randle as our go-to guy on a night when he is off (and defended by a stud) isn't the best idea.  Quix got an easy bucket and RJB nearly did as well.  i think Clyde is right, RJ needed to go for contact since Butler was so close to him on the driving layup.

Missed op for a W.
Give MIA credit. Olynyk and Hero bombed in crucial late 3's.  Knix don't have the shooters (an Elf missed 3 in the last few minutes was Knix only late 3-ball).

It's ok Fac, that means you were a kid or a teenager in 1990 while we were adults.

Still a young’un by comparison.

Back to Knicks, very entertaining game. Too bad we ain't very good in the 4th!

The combo Rose/IQ looks promising. We still need 3 pt. shooters.

People moaning about the Rose Trade.

Like, DUH. 

I was thrilled by that game. 

Even with Julius having an off night and the refs fucking us up the ass without the common courtesy of a reach around, so many wonderful takeaways. 

The Knicks are a work in progress, and so many miles to go.

But the entrance of the Rose-Quickley back court and the subsequent 25-6 run?  DRose was simply inspired, and even though the fruit wasn't falling for IQ, the sheer joy on his face, like, DAMN, I'M OUT HERE WITH DERRICK ROSE. 

That may have been the most eventful 5-8 minute Knicks debut since Latrell Sprewell's first preseason game. 

Derrick is in the Ron Harper autumn of his career, so he is a bench player, good for 20-25 minutes a night max. 

But he looked brilliant.  HAPPY.  In Command.  Not sure when I yelled louder.  When he hit a pair of threes.  When he made a steal.  Or the look on Obi's face when DR hit him in stride on the back cut.  DAMN. 

Two days of practice until Friday's game with the Wizards. 

Cannot believe that Perry & Perrin Inc. got DR for next to nothing. 

PS: Derrick's thoughtful and spiritual post game reasoning behind why he chose the numer 4 was sublime.

PPS: Derrick [4].  Immanuel [5].

If you’ve got laps on me Los, you are indeed young at heart.

[carlos123]

That’s a nice compliment from a young’un, Fac.
Thank you 😊

Closers might be Mitch Julius RJ Burks and Rose. Thibs will take a few games to work it out.

I need Payton to either hit open shots or cut down his turnover mistakes. Both would be great, but either one would make him a predominately positive player instead of being so hit or miss.

You really shouldn’t be feeling your way into how you want to close a game against a team like the Heat. They will smoothly find that other gear and things will be very tough.

The addition of DRose puts Knix in a position to trade Rivers or Elf.
And NYK certainly willing to listen to offers for Franc and Knox.

POR comes to mind as the first team that needs a backup PG.
They could use Franc or Elf's defense.
They have Nassir Little ('10 #25 pick; 6'5" chunky SF), Elleby ('20 2nd rounder; 6'6" energy SF) and Giles as surplus.
I just saw Elleby have a nice active game v. PHI, but it was pretty much his career high in everything nearly doubling his season/career minutes.
I've seen little of Little; Giles a decent young banger who needs better focus.
I'd like to get somebody more in the 6'7-6'8" range, who plays D.

Maybe a Simons trade.  Simons is becoming a solid gunner and scorer, but rarely passes.  But with Derrick Jones and Melo, POR probably doesn't want/need Knox.

Would POR do ELF & Franc for Simons + Elleby?
That would get both teams what they need.
POR G defense; Knix outside shooting.

The other option I'm less fond of:
Knox & Franc for Simons & Little/Elleby.
Both teams would have to think about it.

Knix get a young 3-point sniper. Either their long-term SG or a bench flamethrower. 
POR gets a defensive G.
POR gets to develop Knox (under Melo tutelage);
NYK takes a flyer on Little or Elleby.

KC Johnson: Derrick Rose on No. 4:”My birthday is on the 4th. Me and my closest friends, there’s four of us. My Mom had 4 kids. My daughter’s BD is on the 4th. If you look in the Bible, the 4th day was all about creation. And it’s the emperor card if you look that up. It just called my name” – via Twitter KCJHoop
