					<description><![CDATA[The team looks like it did during the bad years, making stupid mistake after stupid mistake combined with shitty defense.

					<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I was similarly trying to convey my odd dissatisfaction with this very good team to my girlfriend earlier this evening. All I could come up with was some vague &quot;vibe&quot; thing that we had with the grit of DDV and Julius last year that seems to have been lost. We gave up &quot;feel&quot; for what is a better team on paper, but which doesn&#039;t feel quite as cool to root for.

That said, KAT is hella easy to root for.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The standings say we’re pretty good, the Pythag record says we’re even better than that, and guys are putting up good boxscore lines. But there is something about this team that is somehow unsatisfying, and I feel that way about it fairly often. 

Maybe I’m just not used to bludgeoning teams with high eFG% assaults like we usually do when we win. This didn’t even seem like that great of a performance, yet there we are again, racking up a .616 eFG%. 

I dunno, maybe I’ll get used to this. I have long wanted a team that could throw the ball into the basket, and now I have it, but it’s like it comes with some kind of Monkey’s Paw curse or something.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[llcoolbp, 

Sounds you are in a great place.  Enjoy it.  It all goes by way too fast.  One day you’ll wake up, realize you are starting to get old, you will miss the family and good friends that are already gone and probably wish you had a Time Machine and could make a few changes.  

In some ways my life couldn’t be better. I’m retired, have more money than I know what to do with, am mostly healthy, but I’m also caring for a 90 year old mother and special needs brother.  Between doctors, insurance, aids, hospitals, rehab, medications, making sure there’s enough prepared food etc… I’m burnt to a crisp. I love them, but one man can only do so much.  There are days I don’t have a meal until late at night because I literally don’t have time to eat.  I can’t make it through a night without a few drinks anymore. I Can’t sleep through the night because I am too stressed. 

I don’t know why I’m venting like this.  I guess I just needed to. It’s that and all the alcohol I consumed.  All I can say is enjoy every minute you can, because no matter how well you plan, life throws you some surprises.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It’s and 82 game season. You aren’t winning every game in the most beautiful and asthetically pleasing fashion, while blowing teams out. Even mediocre teams. Seasons always goes in waves, up and down. Shooting, energy, etc. the good teams still win and win a lot. And turn on the extra gear come playoff time. Stay healthy, be in the top 4 in the East, and put it all together and you make a run. That’s basketball. Some of you’all nitpick every game like you have never seen an 82 game season before. I enjoy every win. 

Regarding RJ, he’s a strong kid. Even going left heavily guarded (by big boy OG), he can bully his way to the hoop. The refs were allowing a good amount of contact tonight. Knicks still got to the line often and just missed their free throws. That happens sometimes. Knicks are 15-9. The Mets have Soto.  life is pretty freaking good in my world right now. I’m just enjoying this. My 10 year old son and 13 year old daughter are pretty into it as well. And when Brunson hit that 4 point play and KAT hit that 3. We went nuts in our house tonight. Enjoying these moments with my kids, well that’s what it’s all about. It’s a long season, enjoy the ride.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I realize two thirds of the Knicks never played with RJ, but really, just let him drive left? I know they didn&#039;t just let him, but they kind of did, too.

I stand on my &quot;I hated this game.&quot; Glad we won, but I feel like I should wash my eyes out. With battery acid. And as has been mentioned, the box score looks like most everyone played well. It&#039;s like Z-Man said when I asked him about Mikal a day or two ago, sometimes it&#039;s not what you do, it&#039;s when you do it.

Much of this game everyone BUT Mikal wasn&#039;t doing things when they were supposed to. Until the end, of course, when they did.]]></description>
