I'm bullish on the Knicks with a healthy Robinson.

He is really something else.

But can he stay reasonably healthy?

(commence prayers)

A lot swings on that.

I would rather have Brunson than Dragic.

I would rather have Rose than Dragic.

I would rather have Quickley than Dragic.

I would rather bet on McBride and his future than have Dragic.

Dragic would be an upgrade over Archi, but why


Noel is basically worthless in the NBA, nice guy that he is. You really cannot have a center that needs an enforcer unless he shoots the lights out and distributes from the top of the key.

Burks and 11 in this past draft is less valuable than Brunson entering his prime.

I love Burks. He will resurface in a decent role sooner or later. Duren and of the guys taken later Eason is the guy I had my eye on could slot as lineup guys and give us a lift and make a body expendable, but we are still miles better off with Brunson and our returnees.

This is gonna be a fun season.

43 is my number if anyone still keeps track.

The Dubs and Celts were ready to rumble on opening night.

The ability to steadily pour on points without letup is going to be as critical as keeping up energy for defense and loose balls.

One argument for staggering Mitch and Obi is they each make the first line of D guy for transition D run their ass off while still converting and creating contact. Jules and Isiah are better suited to do damage on the delayed break or as a set develops, giving time for their partner to get lost and reposition for a bunny.

It will be interesting to see how the wing and guard things shake out beyond Jalen and RJ.

Those six guys should all catch a decent load so long as they are healthy.

Memphis in their home opener provides a nice test of intestinal and testicular fortitude for this team. Should be fun.

Quentin and Obi held put tonight.

Cam Reddish, here's your moment.  Could pull minutes at SF and PF.

IA could see some stretch 4 moments.

Maybe even some minutes for Svi.

PS: Tatum & Brown a juggernaut.

A healthy Robinson really key...to my 45W 46W   44W  47W 45W 44W prediction.

** along with Julius avoiding dyspepsia, Thibs avoiding Thibsia, and Quickley avoiding too many mindless ball-sucking, brick-chucking minutes at PG

*** I reserve the right to keep changing my mind right up to 7:29

Damn - no Obi?

Grimes injury may be a while.......

PS   Tatum & Brown a juggernaut.


And Doc still cannot coach.

Love IQ, but he IS an adventure in fine dining.  The manner in which he finished last spring was inspirational, his preseason, a cold shower of the feast or famine festival festooned around our neck by Quickus ChuckUpLey

Right

The jettisoning of Noel is not without consequence.

[elephant]

Yep, I mean, maybe Jericho's development will surprise us. I've heard nothing about his play.

But if the big man goes down, who's gonna be there?

I think you overdo this.

Noel gave us a lot of strong games two seasons ago. He was a real component of a winning team.

And fuck, god knows how deep we would have sunk last year without Taj. I cannot remember the dude playing a bad game.

Isiah and Jericho will do just fine.

Program note

Usually NBA league pass is free first week.

Gotta catch that POR-SAC matchup......

Nerlens was a significant component of our 44-38 season, especially after Mitchell went down...

NN a fine rim protector. 

But people talk about Mitchell's durability?  Nerlens couldn't stay on the floor..

The need for cap space and the emergence of Jericho punched Noel's ticket out if town.  Not sure if Hartenstein shapes up as Noel's defensive match, but a terrific passer and can stretch the floor.

Hey, maybe Burks comes back next summer.
