Feel the ones blaming Knicks for pick were not being reasonable.
Obi was considered a top pick. Crazy physical measures. The BPA at the slot.
Hali weighed 94 pounds wet and had an ugly jumper
Only thing that can be said is that the Knicks were in desperate need of a PG.
But we all know how much Thibs likes young inexperienced point guards.
Okay with the pic, just disappointed the way it worked out
While Haliburton has become a very good player, his in game antics make me think he is too immature to lead a team. Let's wait and see how he leads his squad in the playoffs through adversity. I'd rather have Brunson. At this point I'm only looking forward. The dark days are behind us.
He's a very punchable player. I think we've found our new Reggie Miller tbh. The narrative is really good with him. Knicks passed on him in the draft and even on the Kings he talked shit about it, tried to make us pay every time out there. Now there is the Brunson vs Hali storyline, where it seems Hali is becoming the darling PG of the NBA and Brunson is the underdog. Two ascending teams, lots of history. Fuck Haliburton.
Exactly. We'll have to wait and see if this will become a rivalry. Right now it's only a rivalry in one guys head.
yea, we need some playoff series for that. Hawks unfortunately faded into nonexistence so the Trae stuff never really built up. If we face Cleveland or Miami again in the playoffs I think that will be nice towards building up a legit rivalry. Indiana is probably a couple years away - need more wars against them.
I would not be so flippant about the Pacers. I would worry about them. Halliburton id dangerous and you don't know which way a 7 game series would go. Especially if they are punching JB in the face.
I'm not flippant at all, they are really good. I'm just saying it will take some playoff battles to form a rivalry. We already have a playoff battle against CLE and MIA so we have a head start with them.
Ah right, I see. I misunderstood.

Our whole identity is play tough, play physical, crash the boards, and hustle! He's buying in and fitting in seamlessly next to iHart and Hart. Good enough for me, I'll cheer for that no matter how psychotic a roar you got! 
But I'm not sure he does enough, well enough, to make me a long term buyer (DEFINITELY don't want him to be the one taking those 3s in crunch time like last night). I'm interested in seeing how the rest of this Randle-less audition goes.
If we could flip him while the value is peaking, I still would.
I'm definitely happy to have him come off the bench as a backup PF. He doesn't need to shoot 3's. But he's a capable backup. He's no stiff nor a knucklehead and can stand in just fine.
A guy was telling me today that Precious reminds him of a young version of Taj Gibson...same style of play, but with more energy and endurance. Hell, I'll take that every day for a backup to Randle. If that's the case, he was a steal along with OG
Caitlin is one of the best
I’m so far behind in life, probably because of the endless supply of free porn on the internet, that I’m still making my way thru this game.
I can’t tell if I’m watching a Knicks game or it some motion and spread 3point shooting Golden State offense.
