every time i turn on a rocket’s game jalen green looks amazing…

@FredKatz
OG Anunoby will warm up and if he’s good he’ll go, Tom Thibodeau says

Says he went through shootaround.

take this to be “actually mitch sucks as d.” i am just not sure that mitch/og will be better or even as good as i-hart/og. i still miss mitch tho, and if fairly healthy he will be a big improvement over our current non i-hart minutes.

good stuff milo, yeah – my eyes were not seeing those numbers you mentioned…wow…

any idea what he needs to do to fix those numbers?

– is he too slow?
-has difficulty synergizing with the others to play good team defense?

oh, and doogie wants to know – did you mean to say: he sucks “at” d(efense), or he sucks “as” d(efense)?

and, don’t work so hard…

if it’s okay to know – what finally got you posting?

Watching all the ZOMG BRUNSON IS DEAD! when he got injured and my experience (and the symptoms) told me it wasn’t a catastrophic injury…. I thought I could add something substantive to the conversation. Hence the name Brunson’s Peroneus Longus. I thought it a nice touch.

1. Precious has been playing a lot less since OG came back.
2. Yes, I want Bojan in for 5 more minutes, if it gives Hart a breather.

Perfectly reasonable. I’m sure Thibs ‘wants’ to play Bogey more but fears dropping a game or two in the standings more than he fears JHart getting injured. And for the 2 games OG has been back Thibs could have used Precious for the relief of JHart’s 4 minutes when he wasn’t backing up I Hart (which currently is his real ‘day’ job). The previous 16 games… not so much.

Being a “longtime listener” before dipping my toe into the pool

ah, now that we have been properly introduced BPL – welcome welcome welcome 🙂

if it’s okay to know – what finally got you posting?

for myself, it was trying to stay sane at work…that and i found dear ‘ol jowles to be very fascinating, sharp intellect with a strong personality…

i’ll be honest, not hard to see i use the site as therapy…i have some challenges with my mental health…

what got you in to the knicks?

they got on my radar when bernard king dropped a couple of 50 point games…i became a steady fan though when patrick ewing got drafted…

if you were to ask me – he still might be my favorite knick of all time…

recency bias though, maybe julius is today…i just find his very visible struggle for control so incredibly relatable…

while the opinions expressed here are generally fact based, the overriding negativity makes me wonder if this board leads the league in antidepressant consumption.

when ever, where ever folks gather – the subject is always life…it is simply being described in different terms…

if everything was already perfect in everyone’s life, folks wouldn’t need to be here…

i’m not sure if like doogie you’re not familiar with video games, but – sometimes it’s cathartic to play spiderman and just rage a bit…

get online and let some frustration out – when i first joined: i hated phil jackson soooo much with his smug personality, ignorance disguised as blinding brilliance – not…someone described me as: mewling, and they were right…

much better though than exploding on the people close in your life – that’s really not a good thing to do…

i don’t know if KB as a: we are all sitting at a table together, enjoying the company of others analogy works for you…the best way to put it maybe:

“in a world where you can be anything: be kind”

hopefully some day i am sitting at a table with some more of you…drinking/eating/smoking/talking 🙂

over the last 4 seasons, we allow 113.6/100 with mitch on and 111.6 with mitch off. that is something that rarely happens over long samples to all-defense neighborhood rim protectors. admittedly some is because the knicks have had some unusually strong back-up 5 minutes.

It’s not just the elite backup Cs but Mitch playing with Brunson/RJ/Randle who range from below-average (being charitable) to terrible on defense. Meanwhile the 2nd unit has featured pretty good defenders.

I do think iHart is better though
