all be better if Toppin’s father was nicknamed Three Pointer Delight…

The guy who played the guard in Shawshank is also the voice of Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants.

That’s way cool – i did not know that…the first time I remember seeing Clancy Brown was in Highlander, was amazing how he stood out in that film (interesting that sean connery was even in that film)…next I remember seeing him as sergeant zim in Starship Troopers, again he really stood out…

I love mister krabs 🙂

For those who were not around, Bernard King’s 1983-84 campaign was a thing of beauty. He was the definition of “bulldozer fínese.”

i like that description: bulldozer finesse…i don’t remember much of his game, but – dogged determination, fluid movement without fear of contact seems pretty right…

i think we should continue to do whatever it is we did to acquire julius…there’s got to be a specific statistical profile of young players that can potentially “break out”, or whom may be buried behind some better player on their team that we can target…

we do need to acquire a starting point guard at some point…

cybersoze: Who do you have as the best now? Amare first season? Porzingis rookie season?

I think Windhorst is right and a star will demand a trade here sooner than we think… probably this offseason.

To me it comes down to the trade rather than the player. I really don’t want to see another Melo trade go down.

JK that’s exactly what I’ve been saying! We got a decent young core now. Hit on another pick like e did with Wuick and upgrade with youth over elf and/or bullocks and now we’re really talking. Stars will always become available. It happens every season. We just gotta be patient and keep winning games. Winning solves a lot of problems, more than it creates.

I didn’t catch this one but RJ’s box score line is nice.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the Knicks try to build around the Randle-RJ-Quickley-Mitch core and get some continuity going for awhile. Keep Obi and Noel around, maybe try to replace some of the less exciting mercs like Bullock and Burks through the draft and figure out a way to acquire a competent PG.

Maybe if you do that and rack up a few consecutive winning seasons a superstar would try to force his way here in a trade. If I squint I can see a path forward to title contention with this core. If I squint really really hard.

Yeah I want Frank to succeed as much as anyone, but I can’t remember the last time he made a nice pass or grabbed a rebound. 3 and D pretty accurate for him

One thing about Frank…you have to really believe in intangibles to love him. His stat line was a string of zeros except for the 3 threes.
