hi z-man, hi KfniNJ 🙂

the thing that always stood out to me with simmons was how fast he was on defense…

he looks fast again…

watching phoenix/blazers now…i really didn’t like them getting rid of mikal bridges…he’s ranked at 33, right behind jalen on top 100…

i disagree…

wasn’t all that crazy about the beal pickup…nurkic seems like he’s hurt a lot…I don’t know, just never been a big fan of his…

the suns’ have a pretty decent roster though, lots of turnover in personnel…I don’t think it’s gonna slow them up too much though…

not sure where they’re ranked, but, probably top 3 in the west (nuggets, kings)…

I was listening to podcast where they discussed Simmons. Apparently, the nerve issue he had in his back takes 12 to 18 months to heal, so this is roughly on schedule for him to get better.

If Ben Simmons can revert to even 80% of who he was before the PHI disaster, the Nets are going to be a handful on any given night.

Obi with 7 points on 6 shots in 18 minutes tonight…3reb, 1 ast, 2 stls, 1 blk, +19. Jalen Johnson was 2-8 for 4 points in 25 minutes…did Obi lock him up?

A buddy I used to share season tix with is hooking me up for Opening night…should I wear the autographed KP jersey I paid a fortune for at my school live auction? Suitably altered, of course!

I hope the Knicks truly look to run more after defensive rebounds. We can use some easier baskets.

Healthy impatience vs. imprudence. Good phrasing!

Bob Myers’ comments should be interesting to us all because they’re pretty much a summary of the debate we’ve been having here:

“They’re good and how do they get to great? That’s probably harder than going from bad to good, which they’ve already done. Now, the question is how do you get from the five or four seed to the one or two seed,” Myers said when asked about Rose and the Knicks.

“And they have what it takes with first-round picks in their cabinet to go do it. They’ve got a lot of good young players on pretty affordable contracts. They’re just another team that you’re kind of waiting for the next big thing.”

“Look, it’s hard because there’s windows of time but you can’t control the deals that present themselves to a certain degree,” Myers said. “But when the one that comes up does, you have to get that deal done, whatever it is. Whatever you identify as this is the thing that is going to make us great, you just have to make sure that that happens.”

“You hope you get something that unlocks everyone else or amplifies the rest of your team,” Myers said. “I think the Knicks have been patient and at least they haven’t done anything irrational in my mind. They haven’t had a big misstep where you would say, ‘Hey, look they blew it on the wrong guy.’ And that can set you back for years. So I think there has to be a healthy amount of impatience but not imprudent. So I think that’s what the Knicks are looking at.”
