They are playing their asses off. Four blowouts, two convincing wins, and two nailbiters where we bent but didn’t break.

Never mind all-star consideration, how about Brunson for MVP? Or at least All-NBA?

IQ, Deuce and Grimes all producing on both ends. Sims too!

RJ not efficient but made some big baskets that stemmed the one run GSW made.

Randle was off from 3 but 4-6 inside the arc. His pull-up game is much more refined than last year. His defensive rebounding in traffic is a huge plus. Only 13 shot attempts and 5 assists, this was more like how he played early on.

Biggest thing for me was that they didn’t have to tax themselves too much, because tonight is going to be a much more demanding game against a good, healthy, desperate team. If we get this one, I’ll be even more impressed with this team’s current resolve.

It’s nice to see that we’re getting some national attention. Even though clowns like Charles and Shaq are nonbelievers, the league is taking notice.

These are not your uncle’s Knicks…

Did I mention Jalen Brunson?

Wow, Correa to the Mets. That’s just a stunning turn of events.

good for him, now he finds himself under the bright lights leading a young team with an old coach…

“I’ll be honest with you, when we first signed him he started coming in immediately in the summer and I knew right then, just by what he was doing,” Thibodeau said. “Not by what he was saying. Not by anything other than the way he came in and the way he worked each and every day. I knew that was exactly what we needed.”

Could also do Jake’s Dilemma or Gin Mill if that suits anyone better.

I thought maybe a 5 game win streak or a .500ish team like ours…

jalen brunson seems to be having an effect on the team, a big one…

he does have a winning pedigree to him…just a question of if he could do it at the NBA level…

for the record – I haven’t been sober for more than a few days here or there for about 27 years…

truth be told, I didn’t spend much time sober before that…

first time I passed out was like 14 or so…woke up in some woods behind this church…lost my glasses and had to walk home without them for a couple miles…

went back the next day though and got my glasses back…and so it goes…
