Some thoughts:

1. Mike Brown’s statement this morning about adjusting to KAT was some in real life Ted Lasso.

2. I would be shocked if Brunson had his third straight poor shooting game.

3. I can’t expect Mikal Bridges to continue to shoot 65% from the field. Still excited for his game.

4. The strength of OG is a huge asset. He gets to the rim.

5. This team grabs tough rebounds.

6. A defensive stand does not become a “stop” until there is a defensive rebound (or turnover).

7. I have been shocked by KAT’s transformation. He is a leader. He is a plus defender on Wemby. He is making great decisions in the offense. He is getting back on defense.

8. If I ever have to go into combat, I’d trust Josh Hart to have my back.

9. I want good things to happen for Mitchell Robinson. He has proven to be incredibly coachable – which was the fear when he slid to the second round.

10. I’m proud to have come up with “Deuce for tres”.

Today is GREAT day to be a Knicks fan.

You just don’t hear journalists saying these things often.

Ok this is good to hear. I just don’t have time to take in more than the occasional radio show, so I was kind of floored by Duncan, who I do enjoy semi-regularly.

I mean, I kind of don’t believe anything I see anymore.

People will be so fucking mad by tip off.

In the draft night thread when Phil Jackson drafted the great Cleanthony Early, your very own JK47 mentioned that he liked a Serbian center with good passing skills named Nikola Jokic.

Between that and me saying that SGA was the upside pick that year, we clearly should have been drafting instead of Jackson/Perry/Mills… But then we might not be here, now, and I like this moment very much. (Still in fear of it all falling apart, though, because I am a Knicks fan)
