Okay. Well I guess we know what the game plan is...

Tonight is the night where we need Julius Randle to play like an All Star that he is, dominate and lead the way for his team.

I can not stand Evan Fournier but I'm hoping he goes Olympics off on his former Boston team tonight.

Bro, Is this a movie? You can't script it better than this.

Hope he's okay... but this is hysterical.

Okay I'm a bad person.

Hopefully for him he's vaccinated but has been full of shit the whole time.

He is in protocol not because he had a positive test but because he needs 5 days of consecutive negative tests to be eligible.

No wonder every team uses zone defense on us. We have to be nearly the worst open 3pt shooting team in the NBA.

I'm going to guess that RJ is fairly close to those numbers too.

Wonder if this also means the Knicks have vast room for improvement too

I thought the whole NBA was vaccinated, save for like 4-5 players. I am sure the staff and the assistant coaches did not have a choice like Kyrie and the players did. Back when we had wave 1 there were fewer NBA players sick. That was before the vaccine. What the ...

Ask and ye shall receive....

So he's the second youngest by a couple of months to one of of rookies, though the other two are older (Grimes by a month). Not sure what it all means, but interesting.

This gave me a good laugh.

On a serious note, I hope we sign Lin, Jamal Crawford and Theo Pinson with those exceptions. This has nothing to do with basketball reasons. This is just something that I very much want. I love all three of those players and if I can only have them for 10 days its better than nothing.


Lol, some feel good energy, I like it

Is Wally Szczerbiak suiting up tonight?
ramtour420 @ 12/18/2021 5:22 PM
What's happening in the professional sport win Covid is an interesting case study, for me. It's not a controlled experiment and we have not 1 but 2 things that are different from first wave to now so hard to come up with conclusions.

Wave 1 "the original " -no vaccine yet- less of the players in professional sports got it, Gobert literally had to lick some microphones to get innoculated.

Omicron variant- near 100%vaccination among NBA( something we could never achieve among regular Joe population) yet more players sick.

Something doesn't add up.

1) the vaccine weakens over time and needs boosting
2) the new variant is better at evading the vaccine AND is much more contagious too
3) a third booster shot helps restore a big bit of protection against infection (but the hope is even without the booster,it will still protect well against severity of disease if you do become infected)
4) for some reason the nba hasn't really pushed the booster early enough.
5) the woman in the photo only likes men who have had the third booster shot
