And Elfrid Payton had 14 points on 7-for-11 shooting, 7 rebounds, and 21 assists last night. Weird.
No, I’m not wishing that we still had him.
He was not. Nor were any of the good players released or sent to the minors. These decisions only make sense in the context of the movie’s original ending, in which we find out that the owner actually loves the team, but was left in a bad financial situation by her late husband, so she basically invented Moneyball to find undervalued players with upside, and acted the part of the villain to motivate them:

It’s certainly a much more enlightened ending than the one where she’s just a rampaging rhymes-with-witch, but test audiences hated it, so it got cut and they shot new material with her growing increasingly upset throughout the tiebreaker game with the Yankees.
Also? Go Knicks!
First of all kudos to KBA for watching the game live (it started at 3 AM here in Italy), sometimes jet-lag is useful… 😉
How’s your house search going?
Very nice rebound game after the egg in Utah.
It may sound crazy but, like last year, we match up well with the Nuggets, their pace and style of play are well suited for us (and they feel Gordon’s absence).
Fantastic offensive performance overall, career high in points for OG, career high in assists for the Captain and tied franchise team record for assists, plus Hart couldn’t miss, KAT could barely do it and the Cam/Deuce couple from the bench did a good job.
We know JB well so I foresaw a strong reaction, same for KAT who was pissed at himself last game.
Bridges on the other hand looks like he has taken some bad habits in Brooklyn and apparently he doesn’t care about losing so he had another lousy game.
I watched with the Nuggets’ broadcast on, here’s a couple of KBlogger-like takes from their announcers team (Scott Hastings is surprisingly good):
“Bridges is the only Knick starter who didn’t shoot well… And anyway his shot looks broke to me”.
“What if one of their starters get injured while up 30 in the 4th?”.
Headline reads “Michael Malone calls out effort in blowout loss.”
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/42617295/michael-malone-calls-nuggets-effort-blowout-loss-knicks
This is at least the third time this has happened after a big win. Giannis said his teammates “didn’t compete” and Bickerstaff had the same lament as Malone when we blew out Detroit.
Seems like when we do have it going, it has a demoralizing impact on opponents.
(And yes, fyi, I am aware that OG looked like he is very properly paid.)
Is OG the new Kawhi Leonard? Many people are saying this.
If he’s actually the new Kawhi he might be underpaid.
I feel bad for the guy. He signed that new contract and just a few weeks into the season he’s already underpaid. 😉
If he’s new Kawhi we’re going to be very happy with that contract for the next 4 years as long as he doesn’t get injured for 2 of them.
