Man at least the Knicks lost to a decent team
Mavs lose too so some good news tonight.

BOth are good stories and I’d love to see them both as a playoff match up. It be a risky to our psyche but knicks not suppose to be in that conversation anyway.
Nets are a terrible story, if they win the chip it’s such a terrible message: Sulk and whine until you get what you want, turn up to training camp late and out of shape after prioritising strippers and putting your teammates at risk of covid, mail it in, rest and take days and weeks off to party, whinge and whine on social media all day long, s*** on your previous teammates, declare yourself above everyone else, play hardly any of the regular season then show up and turn it on in the playoffs and win it all. How can anyone root for that? Would be a big f-you to all the players that put in effort and hard work
I beg to differ. You look at harden when he stepped on the court in Houston they played pretty good with a roster he had just met.
Walks on to nets and was killing it.
I’m not saying its a feel good story. Its a story. I’m not denying the players the ability to have that freedom. Maybe you don’t like it because its “Nets”, but Harden put in 9 years in Houston and in my mind most of those teams over reached itself either by Harden being a juggernaut or MDA flat out coached his ass off. Their decline in playoffs might be seen as falling short, or just the reality of what I just mentioned.
I’m not discounting the job Harden did.
Did he handle his departure correctly? No. He owned it which gets some points in my book. Did Fertitta make good moves insisting on Westbrook? COmpletely disrespected MDA? Then runs Morey out of town? Harden rejected a two year 50MM extension. I agree he could have handled it better but at the same time Rockets dove down fast. Harden missed 24 games in 9 seasons there. You gonna indict him his delay to camp? Strippers? Ok. Did he show up and play well? He did. If he came out of shape and played like shyt that would have been a different take.
Celtics and Hornets lose. But Mavs spanking the Warriors with no KP.

Saw that game. GSW are really a bad team when Curry is misfiring.
Took many injuries but Nesmith finally got 30 min
15 points. 9 rebounds 3 steals 3 blocks 2 threes
Hawks lose, Hornets lose, we win!

Man I can't remember what Boston gave up for Fournier but it seems like every time I look at a Boston boxscore he is laying a stink bomb
Caught the LAC @ PHX game. PHX are a balanced and dangerous team as we well know. CP3 another solid performance,( 28pts & 10asts ) always looks in constant control. MVP chants at the end of the game, are gaining validation.

they can 100% win a title. They are big/deep/explosive
Need a healthy CP3

I was high on Nesmith in the draft. Just seems like he’s buried at BOS. Not the right situation for him to see more minutes.
Pritchard seems to be getting a run and making the most of his opportunity. Scrappy type, rotation piece, excellent perimeter shooting.
Halliburton last night getting the start: 30 mins -42
Kings lost by 50 gave up 150 f-ing ridic

Absolutely. You take CP3 out of the rotation, it’s like disconnecting the brain...

Jeez, is that in the top ten for negative +/- for the season? Kid's all over the place.
Not to gloat or anything, but I sure like IQ's +/- numbers in comparison.

I thought it was Hal Vs Obi, or Hal vs. Payton! The Fan rule is benchmark the high water mark then superimpose another without any consideration of any variable. This way fan can remain “Right” and never be held accountable or a thing!

You in withdrawal or something from reinman rebuttals? Who the hell was comparing Hal vs Obi? And who's comparing anyone to Spayton other than the occasional Chris Smith hate thread? Early on, when IQ was modeling for the new NBA logo, the Hal comparisons were every other thread.
Fan looked at each rook's season so far for +/- and saw some really inconsistent sheehit from Hal and some nice things for IQ. Hooray for us! Be back after I check stats and see if we have anyone at -42 for a game! Then fan can be all pissy and get a negative thing!

I still wish we took that flyer on KPJr. He was probably a head case but the talent was clear. Not tripping tho as I think we can snatch our own KPJ in this draft.

The top 4 in this year’s draft I think are pretty much set. In some order, Cade, Suggs, Mobley, Green/ Kuminga.
But I do think that there is opportunity to pick up under the radar quality. Scouting / FO been producing lately.

The difference is "YOU THINK" you can snag a talent like KPJ, A 20/80 chance of that happening.
Getting him for a future 2nd rnd pick and knowing what he brings to the table, is much less of a gamble
The Knicks were totally scared off by his presence in the locker room, seeing the chemistry the team already has

Kpjr was the 30th pick in a crap draft so it’s definitely possible. I’m also making a direct reference to James Bouknight
