Brunson is going to make a huge difference for this team.

obi finding julius. love to see the 2 of them be able to share the floor.

jb looking like he picked up some of luka's moves.

if julius comes back to 20/21 form we're gonna have an interesting team

Randle looks physically tight. These snippets reinforce my own thinking---we have a good thing. Obi IQ Grimes ---dont mess with it. The new PG will do wonders Dont over think it---were gonna be good

They lost by over 10.
Obi still can dunk but can't shoot.
Brunson was very good at creating but most of game was one on one.
Randle still bothered by fans and confidence.

Of course this was a summer league game when guys are just trying to show off but..........
Rose was at game and got on the phone with the Jazz as soon as it was over.

Were you at the game?

Maybe have a training camp and preseason with the coach and coaches -- hell maybe even a couple of regular season games -- before any conclusions are made one way or the other.

Are you asking for a measured approach? We don’t do that in this fanbase. It’s all our nothing, and a whole bunch of noise here. Bing Bong!

No idea why Obi’s shot has completely fallen off a cliff after his rookie season. The guy literally can’t put the ball in the ocean

Maybe we should start seriously considering going by with a smaller lineup with RJ at the 4 and Grimes at the 2 full time or Cam at the 3 full time. I’m getting sick of the Randle/Obi bricklaying

I hear Randle played just the same and got killed in doubles against inferior talent.
ramtour420 @ 8/9/2022 6:10 PM
At least they didn't get hurt. That's a win in my book. It will take time to gel and I like to look at it as a marathon. A great BJJ teacher once said that one needs to lose 10,000 times to become a black belt.

Seriously we talking about a pro am gig?

You have anything else better to talk about? I hear Ma ra Lago is charming this time of the year. The presence of the FBI does wonders for a community. You live somewhat close to Brave country. Are they still crying about the Mets violating them on some Schillinger/Beecher s@#t? Did you hear that Amber Heard was a stripper and that Elon Musk did all kinds of nasty s#@t to her... Yeah... I'd rather talk about the Knicks losing to a bunch of FedEx drivers and Milkmen last night. At least it's Knicks basketball... kinda.

I pretty much always wonder what the fvck you're blathering on about. From his rookie to 2nd season Obi's overall FG% improved, his 2pt fg % improved, his 3pt % slightly improved, his eFG% improved and his FT% improved. If you want to say Obi is not a gòod 3 pts shooter then say it......but it has nothing to do with his shot falling off a cliff.

Talk, but measure their games? Thats what I meant.
Man, Amber Heard in 2011 with Nick Cage in “drive angry”, such a doll.
Trump whining that raid as “unannounced”. Usually the ones that are not successful are they?
Mets? I’ll look in september.

Cool proam. Just not into evaluating if it was lack of pace, too much iso, or Obi did not shoot. He was there to dunk right?

Here is a better 20 minute cut of the game.

Panos @ 8/14/2022 8:20 AM
Were they told not to put their hands up on defense? I hope so.

Jalen Brunson's game reminds me of Mark Jackson. Not necessarily how he scores, but something about the way he moves

Lol. I was shocked at how little effort Randle gave on defense. They definitely were playing at half effort. I understand not wanting to get hurt but when I played ball, there was only one setting when ever I played and that was all out, all the time. I was not a professional player, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

All that being said, Brunson looks like he can score whenever he wants. He will be a huge lift for this team and hopefully he can convince Randle to focus on being an efficient scorer and not worry as much about running the offense.

The only potential problem I see is similar to last year. We don’t have a solid playmaker. Brunson is a scorer first. IQ the same. Rose might still be our best playmaker. Brunson has room to grow in that area but he clearly wants to score buckets which will help off set the scoring pressure on Randle.

I just hope the offense isn’t a “who’s l turn is it now” iso driven offense. Maybe that’s the nba now and whoever has the best or most 1on1 players win.

I wouldn't be too worried. Brunson has shown the ability to adopt his game to the needs of the team. He's also good at finding shooters on the drive. The fact that he doesn't turn the ball over is a huuuggge plus.
