Stan Van Gundy seemed to really like Sims’ game at center. I wasn’t thrilled at first, but he grew on me and overall was ok.

I really think Precious could be a decent 4 off the bench, but he really doesn’t seem to be a center. Every game he does some nice things that give me hope, but it’s clear that he has never been able to put it all together.

If only we had Kris Murray to lock up some of McBride’s garbage time minutes!

“Bench didn’t seem atrocious today”

Not atrocious, but definitely not comforting either. Precious is more of a tall wing than a C, so he does some stuff that look kind of cool compared to our other 5’s. And Deuce did a couple of nice things between dribbles to nowhere. But they always feel like a time bomb out there, I find myself begging for them to hang on for just a couple more minutes so that the starters can catch their breath.

Like we’re trying to win a title here now develop late first round picks that might be good in three or four years! But what about the second apron at some point? Who the fuck cares? We’re good and we can get better. Oh no Leon maybe gave up too much to get a good player! So what? He still got a good player that made us better.

Guess you hated winning a playoff series last year?

Our best player LOVES playing with him too.

Hart is awesome. He makes our team better. Shooting is one aspect of basketball. Our two time COTY plays him heavy minutes off the bench bc hart’s position is winner. Loose balls? Defense? Fast breaks? Rebounds? Hart gives you all of that even when his shot isn’t falling. We gave up a late first round pick to get him when we have plenty of picks in our treasure trove. It’s not a victory lap. It’s you obsessing over picks.

1-7, 2 pts, 1 assist in 28 minutes and Noble runs a Josh Hart victory lap.

You couldn’t get the 53rd pick for this guy today.

What a ridiculous comment

Wouldn’t have said anything, BBA, if Noble didn’t choose to spike the football in my face, acting as if one good play in an otherwise abjectly terrible game refutes my comment from earlier in the day about the exorbitant cost of acquiring our backup forward.
