Actually you were right, the 49ers-Seahawks was a real show, with amazing plays equalized by bone-headed failures. That last Seahawks play to JUST not get the first down was emblematic.

wasn’t really that attached to the yanks this season, finding it pretty easy to move past their season…

after so much futility over the last decade (and more), this season just feels like “gravy”…all to the plus…

real show today is this 49’r/seahawk game…

I used to go nuts watching those games after smoking some hash

okay, those words together caught me a little by surprise…

saw something today which mentioned cannabis (thc) helping old folks’ brain health…

glad to know i was way ahead of the curve on that bit of medical science…

and remember bob – don’t bogart that joint my friend, pass it over to me…

My big caveat is if the team is broken up because of Dolan/Isiah starting to meddle (beyond just a no second apron edict), then I will be much more worried and may, in fact, just peace out as a Knicks fan.

But if we move on from KAT, Josh, and/or Mikal and it’s done deliberately with Leon’s guidance, I can get behind that. I think there’s maybe an argument to be made to retool around Brunson and OG and move to a post championship era where we’re a solid second round team for a few years and avoid a golden state style fall off the cliff. Reacquiring younger/cheaper talent around those two might eventually make sense.

Regardless, we got this team now and we’re the defending champs with a real shot at repeating. These are truly first world problems.

Now, looking back, I still understand why I felt that way. I do think that we were a bit lucky with our opponents, and as well as we played, even with the winning streak and the crazy point differentials, I never felt like I was watching a “great” team as much as a very, very good team that played great basketball against flawed opponents with lousy coaches. In other words, not like a team that I expected to be together indefinitely.

In that sense, I think I can live with whatever outcome ensues. We are surely going to see the same essential team this coming season and while I will miss Mitch, I don’t see things feeling all that much different than last year’s team.

After that, sounds like bigger moves are more likely, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one or both of Josh or Mikal is gone and the team moves on from the ‘Nova Knicks era. I appreciate KAT tremendously and would love to see him stay but If he decides to move on, or Dolan’s edict and ego make the decision for him, it would suck but hopefully there will be a silver lining. No matter what happens, I think there will be opportunities to stay highly competitive during the remaining years of Brunson’s prime, which I’m thinking will last at least another 5 years.

It certainly helps that everyone saw how cool it is to be a New York Knick right now, so maybe that makes replacing players a bit easier.
