TY JEROME had a nice game last night for OKC

Not sure if they have plans for him.

[bodiddley]

I know developmentally it is not ideal - but Horford gets Toppin's minutes - and much of Taj's as well.

And then Noel's minutes when Mitch returns.
Seems pointless.

Knix need 3-point shooting/spacing in the starting lineup.
Starting Horford could make sense to open driving lanes for RJB, Elf, Randle.
But then you relegate Mitch to the bench, squeeze Toppings, lose Knox and reduce Taj's role.
Seems a lot of harm to yute for ol' Horford.
Does Horford really get you a deeper playoff run?

5 projected first round picks in the 12 PM games today - just got home - gonna try to catch AUB-TEN and TX-TX TCH

Havent seen Knicks projected pick at 15, Greg Brown yet.
Faces off with Terrence Shannon

Brown is a 6-9 F
Shannon a 6-6 SG

Auburn's Allen Flanagan (6-6 SG/SF) and Shannon currently projected 11 and 14

Very exciting finish to the half. 

Knicks come all the way back from 16 down to take the lead on a last second three from Rose.

RJ also hitting his threes is a welcome sight.

Losing Taj will hurt but Pacers are also down several key pieces including Brogdon and Warren.

Will the Knicks finally see .500?

Frank calmly drags us into mediocrity, good for the middle of the playoff pack in this year’s East.

Detroit SA Detroit coming up.

Big nights by RJ & Julius.

When was the last time we got a double double from our starting PG? Every little bit helps.

This felt a lot like the Minnesota game except the Pacers are a far better team than the Wolves. Should we call that progress?

Our all star reserve beat the tar out of their all star replacement.

Lots of teachable shit on the film from this game, but at the same time a sort of confidence builder.

Stack wood against winter. The second half is coming.

[Kam]

The Atlantic division is stacked.    All five teams are in the top 6 of the conference.

[facilitatorn]

Lest in all the Frank and RJ hubbub we forget our other young backcourt gem,

tied for fourth!


***that was one delicious meal

[elephant]

For about 5 minutes in the second half, Turner just ate RJ up for lunch. If RJ wasn't getting his shot blocked or intimidated, he was fumbling the ball every time he touched it. Just a stretch where he was bloody awful.

Thibs keeps him in.

Eventually he goes out. And when he returns...he's huge.

Basketball is a funny game.

[carlos123]

What are we going to do with just 1 C tomorrow?

Can Randle and Noel play 40+ minutes on a back to back?

[facilitatorn]

The smart thing would be for Obi and Knox to see time at the C and PF spots respectively. It might not be pretty, but it gives us a way to manage minutes in the frontcourt.

Bo, for all of your rational arguments, you overlooked the one most germane to a discussion of our Knicks going forward. 

And which cements the MORON stature of this pointless, mindless proposal. 

$27,500,000   $27,000,000   $26,500,000

PS: I have always loved Al Horford, but not THAT much.  Philly could not dump his contract fast enough.  He will be 35 come this summer, with two more GUARANTEED Money better spent on Julius and Mitch.  I know some posters disdain Frank and Kevin, but seriously, these is no need to send them into fucking exile in some lame fire sale for overpriced vets or someone else's sloppy second, for fuck's sake. 

[chipstern]

I love Al Horford, but Philly could not get rid of his contract any faster. 

Will be 35 this summer. 

What then is the rational to spend money better allocated to Julius and Mitch.

Also, the whole off with their heads notion of declaring Kevin and Frank busts, and exchanging them for some other team's sloppy seconds?

PASS.
