Well, it's clear - no knock on Barrett - Knicks management viewed FOURNIER as a key offensive piece when added.  Did anyone really ever think RJ as "second scorer" was a thing?  To me it was Rose anyway..... now Evan - if he can do this on most occasions - nice

But there will be games when his shot total is limited - we saw that in the preseason.  It will always depend on the game flow.

Not many worries with this team....

OK...

Kemba, Kemba, Kemba..

cant wait to see if last night's malaise was just an illusion.

(Flash to this summer - "Knicks a point guard away from truly contending")

[kidcarter8]

Guy Reg woulda been checking nearly went for 50.



Knicks don't do it that way - with straight up 1 v 1 - you know this.

Brown was HUGE because Tatum (main game plan focus) was taken away and he hit shots.  Boy, did he ever - LOGO!!!!

[kidcarter8]

Happy today to never have uttered the phrase - 'Jaylen Brown is overrated'.

(Not so much with JayTee)

[kidcarter8]

Make your picks - how many games does it take Tatum to get to 30% from 3 overall?


Hahahahaha....

I wouldn't take too much form that game, other than it was fun to watch.

Celts without Horford were too small and Grant W on Randle was a mismatch that Randle exploited.

If I did have positive take away its that if TimeLord continues to successfully climb a steep learning curve he might turn into that 2-way beast as he matures. He may never be a 3 pt shooter, which is fine, but his near basket defensive and offensive skills and instincts and quickness are nearing best in class levels.

and kid insists on doubling down on stupid.

although at this point "doubling" is kind, as he's lost so many double downs its hard to keep track.

and God knows kid refuses to ever admit his mistakes.

We came back from what, 18 down in the first half, and a remarkable performance by Jaylen Brown.  Sorry, but no sale on the notion that Blessed Reggie would've made a significant dent in the young brother's performance.  He was in a fucking Zone and a half...likewise, Reggie's exemplary competitive spirit did not translate to stops against the Hawks. 

Been getting nothing but better every year since the 2016 Draft when he went at #3 behind Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram.  NOTE: Going at #7 and #9 were Jaamal Poeltel to Denver and Toronto, reaping the benefit of our franchise's pursuit of shiny objects with the final payments of our Carmelo Anthony and Andrea Bargnani pursuits. 

Jaylen is only 24, and just a matter of staying healthy. 

Again, Bullock?  PuhLEEEEEEEESE. no disrespect to Reggie.  However you might want to peruse that game on YouTube where Pistol Pete lit up the Knicks for what, 68, and he was being guarded by Walt Frazier amongst others.  The Zone is THE ZONE.

There was a stretch late in the game where both teams traded treys that was simply insane. 

FOURNIER

Took a while for him to dial in his trey, dating back to summer league, but his facilitating for his team mates, creativity off the bounce, and deft finishing around the hoop have been tantalizing. 

RJ

No rear view mirror.  A crappy first half followed by an exemplary second.  RJ just keeps grinding.  And the evolution of his trey is remarkable.

OBI

His trey has yet to reach a degree of consistency, though their are tantalizing hints he might in time get it dialed in.  But his game in transition is tailor made for a deranged Garden crowd, and his defense and boarding has taken a significant uptick. 

KEMBA

Will be fine. 

THAT GAME WAS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING AND SPIRITUALLY DRAINING I CAN RECALL AS A KNICKS FAN.  Better still, it supercharged our rivalry with the Celtics, who will be looking for payback in Boston when they have Horford back, and who look poised to battle us for playoff seeding in the East.

HOT DAMN...

Okay, what's he up to now?  Did he soil himself again? 

Let me take a wild guess.

Celtics should've taken Ball?  Tatum is no good.  He was a voice in the wilderness zeroing in on the potential greatness of Jaylen. 

How am I doing, Bank? 

Oh, well. 

PS: Loves me some Marcus Smart.  What a gamer.  And was very very impressed with the evolution of Robert Williams.  Can anticipate a lineup of Williams-Horford-Tatum-Brown-Smart laying for us in Beantown. 

PPS: Really like Jaylen's character as a young man off the court.  A thoughtful, sensitive, intelligent, informed fellow. 

PPPS: As much as Tatum struggled, he still demanded serious coverage and notched what, 20-11-4.  A very distinguished level of sucking.  To think, I once thought Kevin Knox was our Tatum in waiting.  Hope springs eternal.  Another great character guy, above and beyond his talent. 

PPPPS: MITCHELL ROBINSON with 11 points and 17 boards.

I'll take the L-got 81 more shots at getting a W.

and kid I'd much rather win the last game of the year than the first.

rookie mistake.

I gave my Knicks and Celts prediction to Carlos, but Carlos wouldn't take my Celtic #.

I think it was a 48 for the Celts 42 for the knicks.

I had both teams as contenders for the 4-5-6 seeds in the East.
