The state Constitution stupidly decrees that New York City Civil Court judgeships are elected positions, with party nominees selected in open primaries to run for the 10-year terms.

Nixon’s wrong on the Cuomo bridge

As the new NBA season creeps closer and closer by the day, Sports Illustrated began to release their Top 100 players for the 2018-19 season. And one New York Knicks player has fallen on the list.

Luol Deng really made a lot of money for someone who was never particularly good. As dumb as the Noah contact was I think Dengs may have been even dumber
If there’s one thing I can definitively say about Kobe, it’s that he would get all up in your space, assert his alpha-male dominance, and have his way with you no matter what you did about it. He was relentless and didn’t stop until he got what he wanted.
Oh, and he was pretty good at basketball too.
Have there been any updates on KP? Cleared to run yet?
I read & heard something today that mentioned a “reporter in the know at the NY Daily News” said he’s actually going to be ready for opening day. I would consider it unreliable but hopeful.
The only reason that I bring it up is that the other message in that was about how delaying signing him to an extension until the summer will save the Knicks $10 in cap space for 2019/20. Does anyone know anything about that?
I saw some photos that suggested he was already taking jump shots (actually jumping and shooting). It looked more like he was working on his game than just getting shots up.
After he was examined by doctors, his trainer suggested he would be ready by opening day. It sounded like as ACL injuries go, he had the best possible prognosis. But he also suggested the team may not want him to play so quickly even if he’s ready.
I think they are going to err on the side of caution and continue working on his body so he becomes less likely to get injured again (especially the other knee). They aren’t going anywhere this year anyway.
So why push it?
One the flip side, I said from day one if they are serious about attracting a major talent next year, they are going to have to prove he’s still healthy and able to play. When he’s back the team will have to be reasonably competitive down the stretch. Someone like Kyrie is going to have to say to himself, ” If they add me and Knox, KP, Frank etc.. make some progress we can make some noise in the weak east in 2019/20″.
If someone can say that with a straight face based on what we see down the stretch in 2018/19, they can sign someone serious.
Jowels, are you sure it was the face, that he would get all up in?
