Today was the first game in Deandre’s career that he missed because of injury. Absolutely insane.

Trey Burke is an upgrade to Sessions
l also watched the Thunder game, Melo is +3.. must be the 10 rebounds
if KP puts a bit more muscle, he might slow down

bicep muscles are the most functional muscles, and you obviously don’t have bicep muscles if you disagree

even so never ever stop flexing the mirror doesn’t care

I wonder if KP gets enough sleep. I was reading how Steve Clifford had to take time off from coaching fix medical problems, and part of the cure involved learning how to get enough sleep. You can’t stay fit and build muscle if you don’t get enough sleep. Many NBA players have been known to take game day naps, but KP seems the sort who would go into the gym instead.

KP’ physical condition has been in question for years now. His anemia could still be a problem. He could also still be growing, which could explain his fatigue and inconsistent physical demeanor. Boomer Esiason on his morning show has recommended a feeder bag for KP. This helped Boomer’s son, who has cystic fibrosis, to gain enough weight and become strong enough to withstand the treatment he needed.
No matter what the issue, the NYKs would do well to be proactive about developing a plan to improve KP’s onditioning. He’s only their most valuable asset.
Oh, and, yeah, and get him a good big man’s coach.

Nice si.com feature on Willy H. There’s a funny anecdote about Kyle OQ and speaking Spanish:

Also, Courtney Lee is quite the bowler?

Trade everyone and play Trey Burke 40 minutes per game if it inreases our chances of getting Trae Young by 1%.

I think it is funny how people are so down on KP when he was far and away the best defensive player on the floor last night. Offensively KP is a bit of a mess right now, it’ll probably get better when he gets stronger and has a better system but even if he maxes out as Melo offensively his defense is elite, up there with the best big men in the league and that alone makes him extremely good.

Plus if it ever all comes together offensively which I think it will in a season or two when he gets stronger then we’re talking about a top 5-10 player.

As for his rebounding it is really a non-issue. We have been a good rebounding team every year he’s been in the league and better with him on the floor than off. So while I understand people want him to put up gaudy numbers we have out rebounded our opponents all three years he’s been in the league and he’s been the only consistent starter year to year.
