You gotta give the Jets & Giants lots of credit for getting Cowboys fans irrationally excited for two weeks, though. It’s always fun when those guys crash from great heights.

I need to tweak the benchmark a bit…Randle’s OBPM is a better indicator of what I am referring to and DBPM is super noisy. So let’s make it that I predict that his OBPM will be above last year’s 3.9.

Okay, since it’s slow and the Jets are putrid, I’m going to make a bold prediction:

In 2023-24, Julius Randle is going to have the best year of his career.

I am basing this prediction on the premise that his career trajectory has been upward for the last 4 years, and that 2021-22 was an outlier. He is in the midst of his physical prime and has enough experience to have figured out how to be efficient at high usage. He will be playing with the best supporting cast of his career. He’s overcome the enormous obstacle of being pilloried by both Knicks fans and the NY media. He has a bigger chip on his shoulder than ever because even with him being compromised by injury and largely terrible in the playoffs, he saw how far the team might have gone if he played like he did before getting hurt. Jalen Brunson is the perfect PG for him, Josh Hart is another role model, and all of the young players inproving around him will bring out the best in him as a player and teammate. And the nonsense about Obi not getting enough minutes will not be a distraction.

The benchmark: surpassing last year’s BPM of 3.7

It always seems to be around this time of year that I start realizing that all the hope that I had at the beginning of season for the Jets and Giants to actually be good has gone away, and I’m left with unexciting thoughts of are they equally bad, or who is actually worse, and will they most likely end up with similar records.

When was the last time the Knicks were clearly better than the Yankees, Mets, Giants and Jets? 1992?

nice…the real gold is in the facial scrub – matched only by the sparsely folliculated top of the dome…

although, no hair compares to spo’s hair…

Thibs’s Yom Kippur fasting strategy….stay on the bench for 24 hours with your mouth shut, then check-in, hang out in the corner and wait to be fed.
