Trade chip?
Deuce may be showing something in practice. He is a point of attack defender and he has long arms to deflect and steal passes. He is limited on offense but if he can shoot effectively you let another player create.
Maybe. Hope so. -10 when Knicks were up 18.
If we need a back up pg, Villanova Ryan is on the bench

As is Breen.
Missed the first 3 quarters, how did OG do?

Taj did not play much

Great defense. Finished well with a couple of dunks. Held Edwards down. Hit a couple of nice threes.
Hart has a little bit of the dumb foul syndrome

Had to wait until end before I answered. OG did great. 👍
Some clutch buckets from Randle
This game has a 2020-2021 feel. I’m getting too old for this shit!

Jokubaitus?
Yeah, but we need one now.
Glad to hear OG is fitting in.

It’s like Christmas again. Is this real life?

Given your juvenile humor, your not 12 ?
Guys who want to move Randle for someone like Siakam or Markkenan are crazy.
Whew! Big win! I think we can all get along for the next 24 hours
Happy New Year!

Knicks win 2 rounds and Randle plays well, then what's the next false narrative?
He can't lead us to a chip?
Question has ALWAYS been to the haters....who do you get that can do what he does (despite many flaws) at his pay rate?
OG team high +19.
Outside of the typical late game big lead give away my initial reactions today were that OG’s size just made us look like a legit line-up and his D/length were as advertised in a league where great scorers still score.
The off ball movement from DD/OG was really nice to see.
D-Murray could be a big time add as Deuce/Grimes combo while good kids - they still look a bit scared out there and SO MUCH put on Jalen/Randle for scoring.
I hope it is easier for people to see the things I was saying before about the old team not fitting well. This is early and we won't see the real team until Mitch it back but OG helps so many issues I had with the team. Defense already looks better even without Mitch. I mean it could not get worse than last in the league in December. OG loves the corners and he loves the opposite corner that DDV loves even more. That is what you call fitting well. He cuts to the rim. He is a much better defender on bigs than Hart. We kept our draft assets and I think paying him 35 to 40mil is better than 50mil to Quick and RJ. Fitting another/different superstar into this team is a much better fit than the old team.
We still have some issues we need to fix with the team but they should be able to be filled with good drafting or creative trades. In a perfect world we still have Quick off the bench. Too bad that option was never going to be a reality.
