Obi cooking the sixers ... but he is what he is I guess.

He’s averaging under 10 points a game with starter minutes. He is what he is.

Side note: There was a time when I experienced intense head pain right before ejaculation. My wife jokingly commented, "Looks like you can't handle it, huh?"

For sec, I thought this was onewearz writing this lol. This sounds like something he would say. Funny that he's the first to laugh at this.

Crack pipe dream but

Spoiler

Nova-Duke connection complete & unstoppable.

 

[pr0phecy718]

wow

 

[Coupé It]

What’s so shocking about this?

Dolan fired Marv Albert in 2004 because Marv was critical of the Knicks on-air and Dolan got precious feelings hurt.

Marv Albert, who had been there since like 1970 and called two Knicks Championshsips.

 

[don ramon]

thats crazy harsh. not a good look in any way imo, but knicks management does what it wants

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

I think it was the right move.

Ya know damn well that would have turned into him trying to cozy up to certain players, in an attempt to possibly be the next coach and also possibly revealing in team conflict on air etc.

would have been messy eventually.

Does Mike Breen or Clyde fly with the team?

 

[don ramon]

i dont disagree with that
getting shut down like that is humiliating tho

 

[ballinsam23]

Should've been JVG anyway

 

[keko jones]

It's common knowledge that Mark Jackson harbors bitterness from his time with the Golden State Warriors. His intention to come to the Knicks and impose his philosophy on the players might disrupt the existing cohesion within the front office, coaching staff, and players. If he was fired due to karma from letting someone go, it adds another layer of poetic justice to the situation.

 

[you go boy]

woulda been cool to have breen and mark and jvg.... those espn games are entertaining... but not losing sleep either... still like clyde over those 2 but health wise I can see why hes not at a lot of the games

 

[ballinsam23]

If the Bulls go full tank.

Would you guys do Grimes or IQ, an unprotected pick, and Fournier for Lavine

Lavine said in the past he don't want to come here and he's not that great.

 

[keko jones]

IMO, the optimal Knicks starting lineup should feature three scorers. Currently, we have Brunson, who is highly ball-dominant, Randle, a scorer with occasional lapses, and RJ, who has shown versatility in scoring this year. Mitch serves as the defensive anchor, and Grimes contributes as a wing defender.

Regarding the proposed Lavine trade, it doesn't seem viable since he requires more ball possession, and neither Brunson nor Randle are likely to give up their scoring roles, potentially hurting RJ. Given RJ's improved performance, he appears to be the future face of the franchise.

A more fitting solution could involve acquiring a 3-and-D (catch-and-shoot) player. If Grimes can contribute more offensively, it would significantly strengthen our lineup. While I don't believe we necessarily need four scorers, if the right opportunity arises, it could be beneficial. Ultimately, replacing Randle with a reliable scorer could be the way forward.

Lavine said in the past he don't want to come here and he's not that great.

Completely forgot about him not wanting to be here. Figured he'd be the cheapest all star available.

On to the next.

 

[you go boy]

Welp rj is out again... Another L smh

 

[keko jones]

With or without RJ, the Knicks shouldn't lose to the Hawks. We are a better team top to bottom.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

If the Mark Jack firing means more Gus Johnson than we won.

“The Big Ragu”

 

[don ramon]

knicks really need to bury these guys. too many turnovers

also i dont know how the knicks only have 1 or two free throws

 

[8pm at msg]

Every time they pull away Atlanta crawls back in it. Can't afford to lose momentum.

 

[don ramon]

the way the third ended, the 4th is gonna be heated

who's the knicks in tournament commercial guy on msg? with the glasses. i've seen him around nyc

 

[Air Pope]

This team sucks lol

 

[don ramon]

if the knicks lose this....

 

[jayocampo]

This team sucks lol

I tuned in to see the 4th quarter, saw them give up 5 pts and the lead. Immediately said nope and turned the game off.
