					<description><![CDATA[6-18 from RJ feels pretty concerning. 

Grimes is a mystery who plays good defense.

We cant afford to lose Randle because we don’t have a backup PF.

Other than that, it’s a really solid team.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Obi is the same player he was in NY. No, he doesn&#039;t rebound and we all know why, but we have an historically bad 2 pt %, so I would rather have him for 1 more year than 2 ridiculous seconds. I understand Obi was not a Thibs type of player, but shouldn&#039;t they at least have kept Knight or Roby on a two-way deal for this type of situation? The back end of the roster is full of people who have no shot at ever playing for the Knicks. What&#039;s the point of keeping them?

Seeing your team sign the star player&#039;s college roommate, who plays the same position as you, can&#039;t be good for the psyche. I&#039;m starting to think they might as well &quot;Obi&quot; Grimes to a better situation. I&#039;d love to see them use those upcoming draft picks to restock the back of the roster, but I doubt if Thibs would have the patience to develop them.

&quot;Over the years I’ve come to think that an evening sitting down with either Strat or Z-man to listen to their stories would be pretty incredibly cool.&quot;

What no love for G-Man Brother Love?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hopefully Thibs will just put RJ on opposing PFs tonight (or just give Hart the harder/shorter forward assignment). Hart is only listed as 6&#039;4&quot; on some sites!

RJ at least has a lot of heft and muscle and is a legit 6&#039;6&quot;. But yeah, a 2nd real PF would be nice... maybe we can also nab Pat Williams or Torrey Craig in our inevitable DeRozan trade...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I genuinely have no idea what the plan is sans Randle but he should 100% not play this December game with an achy knee. I mean hey, this isn’t the In Season Tournament after all.

At least Hart’s been better lately. Hopefully he gives us plenty in the 45 minutes he’s playing tonight.

Would be nice to have Jalen Johnson…]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My mom didn’t appreciate my WWE viewing habits, but eventually came around to rewarding me with figurines for good grades at PS 199. They’re still in a box somewhere in her apartment.

All my WWE consumption happened in an era you all probably deem well past the prime, and probably correctly so. My guys were John Cena (happy he’s made it somewhat big), Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero (RIP), Paul London, the Big Show, Booker T, and some others.

 Eventually it all became too kitschy and weird for me, but I admire the staying power.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;According to B-R, Obi currently leads the NBA in 2p% at .767.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

His three-point shooting is rounding into form as well, after shooting 22.2% over his first 8 games he has shot 36.8% over his last 9. Overall all of his stats have looked better of late (21.6 pts/36 - 71.1% efg% over that time as well). His minutes are also increasing and he is up to almost 30 minutes a game over the last 7 games.

He is by no means a complete player but he is certainly showing that when used right he is an extremely efficient and effective scorer even at higher usages. It seems that might be something we could use, especially with Randle looking to miss some time and being less effective overall.

But luckily we have 5 SGs in the rotation instead. Who needs forwards these days? SGs and centers are all this team needs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Z-Man

Some great names in that wrestling list.  I remember most of them.   

George &quot;the Animal&quot; Steel eating the turnbuckle was always fun.  He was supposedly also a school teacher. 

Professor Tanaka throwing salt into his opponents eyes was a good one. 

I remember a Battle Royale where a whole bunch of guys teamed up against Haystacks Calhoun and threw him out of ring because he was too heavy for any one guy to lift him.  lmao 

I can&#039;t remember what I ate for breakfast, but those memories don&#039;t seem to fade.

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Pags, admire the bravado but you are a bit exposed here. Kudos if a Toronto loss because of no Julius, but take the L (and perhaps consider trolling somewhere else).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Happy to take an L at any time, that&#039;s a big part of what we do here as Knick fans.

However, why am I exposed exactly?  I&#039;m not the only one unhappy with the lack of foresight evident in building a roster with no viable backup to our extremely erratic starting PF...  are the multiple other posters recognizing that (as well as Obi&#039;s usefulness to IND) also trolling?]]></description>
