    Knicks acquire No. 2 pick in G League draft: Why does it matter?

    Watched Ice Cube again this morning and I’ve half-jokingly concluded that he should get a World Series ring if the Dodgers win. There was a nonzero impact of him looking right at the Yankees dugout and singing “bow down to a team that’s greater than you.” I had a friend text me “I want to undo all my Yankees bets for tonight after watching Ice Cube”! This could usher in a new era of baseball where Pregame Rapper becomes as important as Starting Pitcher.

    “It’s not really an iso if you just blow by your guy in a couple dribbles” is the 2024-25 version of “The 11th pick in the draft isn’t really a lottery pick.”

    I don’t really even follow baseball, but I hate the f’n Dodgers and their fans so much, and it’s going to be unbearable when they beat both NY teams to win the World Series.

    I really feel for CDiggy. Baseball is where he’s supposed to get one over on his SoCal friends & family. Alas our lineup is a dull knife after the top 4 thanks to Brian Cashman, while the Dodgers are carrying an AK47 with no easy outs like a large market team is supposed to.

    The Knicks are just gonna have to make it up to him.

    I spun Jealous One’s Envy on the record player this morning. It is my only Fat Joe album, and it is still a banger. He’s an inspired choice for game 3. Maybe KRS-One is present for A Bronx Tale?

    I’m counting on him more than Clarke Schmidt to save the series. (Someone said it yesterday but not holding Rodon back to pitch in YS was dumb.)

    In box score meandering, Randle looked like he had a decent game last night, Donte continues to struggle with his shot (not a single comment on my Donte-Deuce comparison yesterday after two games?!), and Grimes gets 5 minutes of garbage time and two fouls to show for it.

    Raven, so far it’s looking like a good trade for both teams. Randle has been quintessential good Randle and Towns dominated a pretty good C in Myles Turner. Both are clearly helping their teams and seem to be great fits. I’ll stick with my main premises from yesterday, which is that Towns and Randle are similarly good and similarly flawed, just in different ways, and that we won’t really know how this trade worked out until deep into the playoffs, especially given that Randle’s contract situation is uncertain.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes some time for Donte to come around. I can imagine that the trade totally blindsided him and that he’s putting on a good face but ultimately struggling to deal with it. But he’ll come around.

    Grimes and Deuce are a good contrast, in that Grimes looked promising as a rookie and sophomore but then stagnated, while Deuce looked like a train wreck offensively but kept developing. I don’t know whether Deuce ever gets to the level that Donte was at last year, but I wouldn’t bet against him. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Grimes has some sort of resurgence…but it really wasn’t worth waiting around for it. I wonder if the same will happen with Huk vs. Sims…

    It’s been a weird opening to the Knicks season…3 days between games, two blowouts in opposite directions against conference rivals…and another conference rival game coming up. I think that helps us in that we are really trying to develop chemistry.
