cybersoze:
I don’t think i’ve said this before, so… Welcome StarksGotEjected! 😉
You and SoNiceWeShowItTwice are the only 2021 KB rookies until now, or there’s more? Every member that signed-up only this year, please come forward. 🙂
Last year guys didn’t choose the ROY because i would’ve won it easily without a doubt. That, and i’m always right. Two indisputable truths of KB. LOLOL

Thank you, sir. I hope to bring hard nosed defense and 6 hard fouls for the 17 minutes I’m on the floor every night.

Randle extends! Honestly since that article he wrote in the Players Tribune, I’ve really come to respect him not just as a baller but as a man. Seems like a hard working, loyal guy that truly wants to make something happen here in New York. Good for him. Hopefully he shakes off whatever that monstars-stealing-his-talent-like-in-space-jam performance was in the playoffs.

The end of Slovenia v. France was a wild French win. Slovenia was trailing by one point with 15 seconds left. Doncic got the ball at mid court, guarded by Batum. Doncic put Gobert in the pick & roll on the left side. Gobert blitzed. The center dove to the rim and Propelic popped up above the arc on the weak side. Doncic passed to Propelic. Batum switched onto Propelic. Propelic had a step on Batum and drove the lane. Batum recovered to BLOCK Propelic’s scoop layup to end the game.

It was as if Slovenia ran the play that Norman Dale called at the end of Hoosiers, instead of just having Jimmy Chitwood shoot it.

we speculated about randle taking the extension much in the offseason and i thought there was a very good shot of him taking it…. seems like lavine was also taking the extension too… it was a lot of money to turn down merely to try and repeat an all-nba season which was going to be hard if some injuries heal up… but also some 3pt shooting regressing would have made it seem really really bad…

i wouldn’t really credit rose for this… randle signing is entirely his decision just like it is for any other player and he took the conservative route…. it makes planning the 2023 offseason a little easier knowing we dont’ have a megamax to deal with tho…

Do you say blessings as in Bless you Leon, or blessings as in “Thank you lord for bestowing upon us this good fortune to overcome my despair at Leon’s incompetence”?

what an incessantly small human being….

Hubert:
It is amazing that he’s trying to make it about his scoreboard again for the second day in a row. But I’mma follow Bruno’s lead and not take the bait. Enjoy.

Honestly, I meant that as a serious post. I was curious what your interpretation of blessings was. Certainly not trying to inflame anything, sorry if you interpreted my post that way.

And I am not suggesting that this team is a finished product, only that the plan seems to be on track. There’s still lots of future assets to burn (no pun intended) and lots of flexibility. Meaning there is still room to fuck this up short of attaining true contender status. And your 8/10 is more than fair, I don’t know if I would have rated it that high.

Randle just seems like a great dude.

My kid absolutely loves him. Randle’s son does basketball classes at House of Sports in Westchester – my kid also does various sports there and saw Randle just sitting on the side watching. So my son and one of his teammates just wander up to him and start talking to him – he was so friendly, took pictures with them, etc.

I think the guy is just really happy here. He’s already made $60MM in his career, now tack on another $140MM. Kudos to him for sacrificing some for the team, and kudos to Rose/Wes/Aller/Thibs and co. for creating an environment good enough that he felt comfortable doing this.

Frank: man I would hate to be your kid Hubert lol

Kid: “Dad, I got a 98 on my test!”

Hubert: *grumble grumble where are the other 2 points grumble grumble*

That’s exactly my dad.
I was 16 but I still remember, after a close road victory against a strong team: “So, only 25 points today, is there something wrong?”

Hubert:
Personally, these two blessings we’ve just received make the draft miscues sting more to me, not less. I mean, we were two “just take the best player available” moves away from having the perfect off-season.

But this is our second great day in a row, and I’m happy to focus on the positive. I give the off-season an 8/10.

Now someone wake up Brian.

man I would hate to be your kid Hubert lol
