Additions Markieff Morris and Caleb Martin also in the rotation
And Dedmon only played a handful of games last year

In the DAL game, Morris made frequent mistakes on D, was the weak link when out there.
Caleb plays hard, but limited.  Twin Cody better.
Dedmon was bobbling the ball and taking awkward shots, even at point blank range.  Needs to focus more.  All three will get their fouls in.

Lowry was terrific in the DAL game.  Keeps the ball moving, pushes the pace, knows when to bomb away, just provides structure.  Hero was on fire. 

Luka made 4 ridiculous 1st half plays.  An edge of logo 3 that I almost didn't even bother to count on this list; doubled near half court dropped a bounce pass that came up about head high, split between a few players and traveled 25' to a rim cutter for a layup; got surrounded by basically all 5 Heat, flipped up an 8 footer that was short, tapped the front-rim rebound to a teammate under the basket; triple teamed tossed up a high 10' finger roll that went in.  Halleluka.

Brunson sure likes to use his off arm to push off on defenders.

Depressed?

Hey Chip, we are all a little depressed right now.

We need a pep talk.

As PP#1, please make us feel better.

Thank you 😊

Yeah, his dad was a cleaner player - ha.  These days you have to in order to survive.

LOVED Rick Brunson.  Thought he'd be better.  Aaron McKie is the guy he played with under Cheney at Temple, right?  Good team.  I have to look up - see who else they had.

Wow, MyTurn starts off on fire.  Usually he's too restrained on O.
Duarte is fearless.  Good to see LaVert playing again.
And always love me some Brogdon.

Fournier's shots all over the place.  Mitch all over the place too, but in a good way.
Ind going at Kemba.  Frogdon playing nice D on Fournier.  Teams are getting up on Fournier early (well, TOR & now IND).

Knix not making 3's.
Randle blows by Sabonis, but has trouble posting up smaller guys (Brogdon and BallZo the other game).  Kemba frequently passes off just before midcourt to Randle or RJB also just barely in the backcourt.  Kinda odd.  Does it a few times every game.

Brogdon real sharp. 
NYK with a 2 Timeout 1Q.

So, shit, turns out that Aaron Rodgers is in the company of a flat-earther like Kyrie Irving.

Only Kyrie is honest about his position. And far less dangerous.

Not a good look for Rodgers. Deluded? A selfish asshole? Both?

No thoughts on the IND game?
Seems like Julius a bit distracted and team unable to cohere without his leadership.  Also Rose has quieted down.  Teams have adjusted their D since the Knix hot start shooting 3's.  Most noticeably getting up on Fournier.  And are starting to attack Kemba and Obit on D, and make Fournier have to execute rotations and chase guys around. 
Mitch and RJB have looked good.  Kemba was leading the league on 3Pt FG%.

Nothing like Sophia to make anyone feel better ☺️

1st game of the season, ATL looked great clobbering DAL.  Since then Hawks just 3-5, beating weak sisters and losing to solid senders.  DAL 5-2 since also by beating up on weaklings.

Not sure what's wrong with ATL.  Played UTA even for 3Q's then gave a up a 41 point 4Q (with Donovan out).  Trae has been slumpy all season -- 25% on 3's! 
Cam Reddish has faded the last few games.
Collins up and down (2 boards in 31 mins v Utah!).
Huerter 5-25 on 3's for the season.
Looking for more shooting, Lou W has taken Delon's backup PG minutes, and Sweet Lou is shooting 20% on 3's -- same as Huerter.
Capela and Hunter seem the only two consistent players.

I like what I'm seeing. Sophia, yes, but the Knicks too.

We're strong. Barrett, Robinson and Obi look better than last year. Rose still playing at a strikingly high level. Fournier and Walker just need time to gel. I think we'll get there.

My single concern this year has been Randle. And you see it in the Indiana game. If he's not a strong, consistent force on both ends.....the Knicks are in trouble.

Then we are not a good team.

Good teams can win when their top players are subpar.

But the numbers say NO

Knicks won 3 straight when Julius was

7-18
3-11
4-9

We have lost a game when he was 7-14, 4-7 from deep, 4-4 from the line.

TEAM PLAY, not hero ball.

Well, yeah. But no. Not a question of hero ball.

Julius is no superstar. The Knicks are a balanced team. They are deep.

But at least right now, he's the center of it all.

And it's not about him having a subpar game. More about him consistently being a strong force on both ends. Too early for stats to make any argument. But there's the eye test. We know Randle's weaknesses and you can definitely see them on display lately. I suspect he just needs more time to gel with that starting unit and find his game.
