Let's take a moment to salute the restoration of basketball! Through five games, Harden doesn't have a single 5 FTA outing. Listening to the Nets game last night in the car, announcers just crying over the refs and rules. Lester Luvs it too much!

Better basketball all around.

In less than a two minute span, Randle just had three assists leading to three 3-pointers.

Pretty cool.

First I thought we all died and went to Knick heaven. Even Randle on a bad shooting game was 1 assist short of a triple-double, and Robinson was not hurt when he twisted his ankle.
Then the 3 minute nightmare.
And the savior? RJB! Flawless defense on DeRozan with the game on the line.
Phew!!!

Good last play D by RJ. Good overall game by RJ. Kemba should not finish close games if Rose is available unless this was just part of a learning curve.

Bullet dodged. Good win.

Mitch needs to find kicks as strong as his legs.

Knox completely out of the rotation.
11th man, or maybe 12th if Grimes is ahead of him.
And Nawlins will be back, further submerging Knox.
Also a shame our rooks don't get court time.

But Knix have depth.
Looks like Knix are on par with BOS, CHA, CHI.
But Knix have an advantage with depth, chemistry and vet leadership.
BOS doesnt have a PG; CHA relying on Hayward remaining mobile; and CHI has a weird fit, weak bench, limited D.

The only indispensable player for NYK is Randle.  And it'll be interesting to see how Knix do if he misses a game or any stretch of games.  Thibs plans on running Julius into the ground.  Worth monitoring how much Randle has left in 4Q's.
Nice that even on poor shooting nights, he bulls in and gets FT's and draws a crowd and kicks to open shooters.  Smart efficient hoops.

Bulls game:
1Q:
Bulls hit a pair of 3's then go into a funk.  Don't they know that RJB goes left?   Don't they defend?  Vuc isn't stopping anyone down low.  Knix should pound Randle inside and PnR all night with Mitch.
Then CHI starts scoring with energy and Knix get sloppy and incoherent.
Looking like a game of runs.

We punched them.  They punched back.  We took their best and responded in kind.

Game was decided in the 1st quarter.   We held serve the rest of the game til the final fallout.

Re:  "no improved East teams" (see preseason forumwide posts on subject)

Bulls, Wiz and Hornets all 4-1.

Knicks not at risk.

Apparently due to falling after Robinson's flagrant foul Patrick Williams will miss the rest of the regular season.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noted the East was better.
The Bulls and Wiz restocked while CHA got Hayward back and Ball a year smarter.
Not to mention ATL healthier (Hunter back; Bogdan's knees hopefully better) and more experienced.  And MIA loaded up with Lowry.

You tend to make up nonsense fairy tales about a monolithic forum consensus being wrong and you the only visionary.

Kind of a sloppy game, with neither team playing particularly well.
Knix kept finding somebody who would pop in a pair of 3's.  RJ early, then Kemba, Fournier.  Then Kemba again. That kept them ahead.

Too bad about Pat Williams.  Bulls don't have much depth.
And their interior D was already poor.  Williams is just a 6'7" PF.
4Q, Bulls mostly used PG Zo Ball was guarding Randle with Williams out.
Zo did a solid job defending Randle, who again looked wiped out late game.

Otherwise I had trouble figuring out what Ball's role was.  He was mostly guarded by Kemba half a foot shorter.  But they never posted Ball up.  Seemed like a good idea to make Kemba work on D and to try to force double teams.

Bulls are fucked, though they could still hang around for the play in.

Charlotte is probably legitimately in the 5, 6, 7 conversation.

I can see the Raptors coming on.
