So..as I lay in the hopsicle recovering from another surgery to rid me of thyroid cancer(who would have thought it would be this difficult?), I get angered at mainstream media. All I’m hearing is “Lonzo Ball dows this at the Garden, Lonzo does that at the Garden!” But I hardly hear anything about the game KP had, the similar stats to Lonzo that Ntilikina put up OFF THE BENCH in less minutes, and the outstanding OT work that Beasley did- AND WE WON THE GAME!

I get it, Lonzo’s good. But he’s having as much of an up and down rookie year as Ntilikina and DSJ. The only rookie PG that really has been consistent is Fox. But nobody’s talking about him either. I can’t knock LaVar’s hustle- his crazy marketing scheme has worked. But sheesh! Does the talk about Lonzo Ball’s 1st pro game at Madison Square Garden REALLY hafta overshadow the winning team’s efforts? Particularly that of KP, Ntilikina, and Beasley? Enough is enough..and by the way- Ball was a hearty -11 in his 40 minutes while Ntilikina’s D slowed him in the 4th. Just sayin..

That was a fun game to watch. I’m glad the Knicks pulled it out, that would have really sucked to lose to the Lakers at home after playing pretty well, at least on offense. Both teams had moments they looked very good and others where they looked like crap, which is about right. Neither team played much defense, although I did it enjoy all of the blocked shots by Porzingis.

brown isn’t a great prospect… altho at the end of the first rd you could do worse than him….

Can Hardaway play the 3 effectively? I don’t remember tbh. If so, that opens up a space to draft SG if Lee is traded or to replace THJr if he leaves in 2-3 years.

LeBron is about to turn 33, has played an insane amount of minutes in his career and just tied his career best with a 25-7-17 line tonight. I know he’s corny, but that dude is fucking incredible.

My only concern with Brown is size to be honest, I like him a lot as a prospect. He would fit well besides Ntilikina as he can guard quicker 1s and Frank has the size to keep up with taller guards.

Also worth noting that L.A. really doesn’t want Lonzo on the ball on defense. He’s been very good as a helper off of the ball but against better teams that’s going to be an issue.

Also tankathon has us taking Bruce Brown at 20. Could be interesting but we have a bunch of SG’s already.

I’m admittedly a loyal Cane, but I think he’s a great sleeper. Monstrous defender and increasingly effective on offense.

Just need a Jack injury(how is he still standing) and Frank will take his spot.
