still wondering what will happen with Fournier, Rose and Cam…

evian is still owed a lot of money…best player of the three though…is he worth 18 million a year for an additional 2 years – no…

recent film on derrick rose is not positive…i can’t imagine anyone needing him…

cam – as an injury replacement or for added depth, why not? i think we’ll end up releasing him probably…

Yeah DRed, the disappointments of this season thus far are few but there definitely are some:

-Hart in general
-Deuce’s shooting
-Obi being (deservedly?) marginalized
-Cam, I guess…

But overall, not much to complain about. But there has been some regression in Randle’s shooting and decision-making, and RJ’s minutes seemed excessive last night. Definitely worth keeping an eye on…

And less than a month until the trade deadline…still wondering what will happen with Fournier, Rose and Cam…

Every time I look at an OKC box score and see SGA put up another spectacular line I feel like I want to weep.

Funny to think back that at the start of the season the Knicks media were planting the seeds for the Knicks center controversy and to the extent we finally have one it’s should Sims be playing over Hart.

Cool story, i really thought the organ sounds were automated, but it is a real person playing live. 😀

I have no idea why we acquired him in the first place.

only because of the weird shit that thibs did with kemba – I wonder if he’s playing hart so much to make a point, like maybe he wasn’t a fan of hart prior to us acquiring him…

I watched it in slow motion a few times – I’m pretty sure kyrie took like 3 or 4 steps on that last foul to the basket he got…

“To use a D&D term, pro sports seems to always evolve in the direction of min/maxing, that is, exploiting percentages to give your team the best statistical chance of winning.”

And where is the evidence that’s actually how it works? Try it like this, if you took away the 3-point line, what team WOULDN’T have won an NBA title? Golden State? Cleveland? Lakers? Celtics?

Do good teams actually win more now because they shoot more 3s than good teams did in the past? Do bad teams lose less now because they shoot more 3s than bad teams did in the past?

And as a fan, i’m not sure the defensive brawls of the 90s were any more ugly than the 3-point chuck fests we can see today. Houston with Harden pretty much became the posterboy for 3-point analytics and that team could be damn well unwatchable even when it was generally winning.
