The first time he has to rotate to an open three point shooter Hubert will instantly say, “oh right, this is why we needed Mitch.”

Can he be the proverbial toothpick in the volcano? Maybe

“Former NBA coach Don Nelson grew his own personal medical marijuana strain called “Nellie Kush” on his 22-acre farm in Maui, Hawaii. He began using and cultivating cannabis in retirement to manage old basketball injuries and stress without relying on prescription pain pills”

always stuck out to me, cuz it’s hard to imagine folks hanging out, getting high, and wanting to play poker…

just seems a unique combo…

RIP, Don Nelson. An incredibly weird stint coaching the Knicks, even if he had something resembling the right idea about featuring Mase a bit more on offense.

Nelson was right about everything that got him fired. Hubert Davis was a better player than the 95/6 version of Starks. Ewing was entering his decline phase and was angling for a huge extension and Shaq was going to leave Orlando. Nelson had a relationship with him from coaching him the the World’s Championships in 95 knew he would come to NY. Ewing was the best deal Orlando could get for Shaq. Once word of that got out, Nelson was toast.

And yes, if everyone had bought in, running the offense through Mason with his ball handling and passing skills for such a huge man would have been a superior offense to dumping it in to Patrick 85% of the trips down the floor.

I’ve been watching a lot of Andre Drummond tape and becoming irrationally exuberant.

I, for one aren’t losing much sleep with the trade out of Mitch vs Drummond. Yeah I know they lose something on the defensive end, but Drummond is likely to be available, not likely to do stupid shit to be unavailable for the championship series and can’t be fouled off the floor in a critical situation.

A net small loss, but not anywhere near the extinction level event many are making it out to be.

Let’s face it… the Knicks are unlikely to repeat. They were “fortunate” to win this season. Their two top rivals lost their best players for most of the season. OG played way, way above his expected level even for a guy that loved him since the trade. Shammet went on an all time heater and Brunson had a better close out game than Clyde in their first championship something I thought for 55 year was impossible.

That’s a pretty neat series of coincidences. Add to that, it is human nature to be a little self satisfied after winning it all.

at some point, may move on from my card and comic collection…keep some stuff, but move a bunch…

shoot, got a bunch of video equipment sitting in my cart cuz I wanna start recording stuff – just to have an active youtube channel…just something to do…

shit, maybe I just got too much time on my hands currently…

heck, hit the road again and forget about it all…
