Did RJ just say “pass the f*cking ball” as he went to the bench after that Randle shot? #Knicks

Answers

Thats funny coming from Rj..

Oh yeah, I said it right before he did. Julius and Jalen need a dedicated bench guy to hold up a sign that says “pass” when they get ISO happy.

I think he said “ Don’t pass me the fucking ball” which is the best thing he could say

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wish Thibs starts JB, IQ, Hart, Randle, iHart and plays them all 34-36 minutes for a the next 10 game stretch. Let RJ focus on playing the scoring role against other team reserves.

Stop making sense.

RJ is going to be more efficient with the bench unit against weaker defenses and playing faster. I don’t like Randle with the 2nd unit. He may be more efficient, but he slows it down and dominates the ball.

Quickley adds some playmaking, defense, spacing and scoring punch to starters and can still stagger a bit and play with the bench too. We’ll be a little small, but we have some issues with every lineup.

i’ve started trying to groom my pooch, it is not easy…it’s not hard, it’s just not easy…

that prized pooch at the game tonight had some next level dog care going on in their life…

i wish someone would take care of me so well…

I know it was against the Pacers, but something is wrong with this league. Playing efficient offense is well understood by everyone now and the 3 point shooting keeps getting better. Some kind of adjustment has to be made. Great defense is fun to watch also. You just don’t want it to turn into the opposite extreme we saw in the 90s.

LeBron had 25/11/11, but a -13 for the game. Clearly his numbers were just empty calories.

Lebron only plays at 100% in spurts these days. Of course 85% of Lebron James is still the best player on the court a lot of nights. He amps it up when they need it. The good news was that when he tried to step it up, Brunson and the Knicks answered.

Lebron’s long term on/off captures his “overall” contribution to winning quite well – as long term on/off tends to do, especially if you apply some common sense to the analysis (team quality, starter or bench, specific lineup combos and substitutes, age and development etc..). Since boxscore metrics suck for defense and many other things that contribute to winning are not measured, I’m not sure why anyone would not use it to supplement boxscore. None of these metrics are perfect, but they all have some value.

I liked that IQ played 29 minutes and closed the game for us. IHart made everybody forget about Mitch tonight. Great road win!

Of course, it helped that on the other side it was LeBron, AD, Reeves and then… chaos. 😂😂😂
