Two horrific loses, two good wins, and one horrendous win.

Yet a good road trip

It’s a good team I have no confidence in. I still want to see Mitch out there.

I thought this game was at 5pm and in NY. I guess I’m glad we won and I didn’t see any of it.

The Knicks radio broadcast was available on League Pass. I really enjoy listening to Monica.

I listened to the game on NBA radio on the way back from a Thanksgiving trip to Vermont, and it was torture listening to the Hornets radio guy

But still better I guess than watching that shit show on TV. First thing I did when I got home was delete it from my DVR before it contaminated any other recordings

Looking ahead there is a very strong chance if the Knicks beat Orlando on Tuesday they will host a quarterfinal game vs either Atlanta or Chicago.

Either way it’s a bad look for Thibs. We can make “minutes police” jokes as much as we want, but the crummiest teams in the league are playing the back ends of their benches, and still beating us or coming close a lot of the time.

This is a poor coaching job he has done so far, and the evidence for that is starting to become pretty significant.

I mean, I guess we needed to play the starters that many minutes, because look at the scoreboard, but on the other hand it’s pretty pathetic that we had to play the starters that many minutes against this shit ass opponent.

I mean… that didn’t have to be the case. Hukporti should get some minutes as maybe our only rim protector rn. TJ Warren is a legit rotation player (a wing!) who is wasting his time in the Gleague. Matt Ryan can ostensibly shoot. Deuce is great. Thibs is just being a stubborn idiot again.

Is 12 points on 23 shots good?

Asking for my friend Donovan…

I’ll use this opportune moment to mention one of my hotter NBA takes for this season. The Cavs are not nearly as good as their record or their SRS. They have improved, but they are not on Boston’s level–they are on our and Orlando’s level, and I think we are better than them, at least on paper if we price in some improvement come playoff time.

Obviously their record is eye-popping, but it is predicated almost entirely on unsustainable production from their role players. Ty Jerome is playing to the tune of 6+ BPM. Caris Levert, career BPM of -.2, is playing at a 4+ BPM level. Meanwhile, Garland and Mobley have played pretty much to the back of their basketball cards (though Mobley has surely showed more offensive diversity, though this hasn’t really been reflected in the productivity stats so far.) Mitchell has been mediocre (for his high standard). Once Jerome and Levert regress to the mean, they’re going to look pretty good, but not like a top 3 team in the NBA, especially if Mitchell has a down year, which he has so far, at least by the box score.

Atkinson has done a great job over there–the offense certainly looks better than under Bickerstaff–but they are paper tigers.
