[biggie62]

If Frankie buckets was in the game he’d give us 30 just that easily.

RJ had me bout to bust from start to finish

RJ ran right to Frank & Pinson with a huge smile on his face

 

[squatchnt]

RJ was on boss level tonite. Type of game I hope to see him put together consistently in another 2 years.

Lowkey, that buzzer beater unlocked RJs maximum confidence. Ever since he hit that shot, dude has played like a veteran and has no hesitation or second thoughts when he makes a pass or shot attempt.

[Air Pope]

That Rowan Jr is a good basketball player

 

[8pm at msg]

Great game from RJ. Hope this is the real him.

I was actually expecting that to happen to his confidence

Someone at ESPN must be a NYer because they did him dirty with this photo

**** KP

I’m glad even RJ haters root for the kid.

Can’t wait until Deuce is finally installed.

[don ramon]

that's a very different player. i had words about rj when he was underperforming a momth ago, but he's like a different player now. just took the ball and made the game his. this new confidence level is huge

 

[big j 33]

It's all because I got the RJ jersey

 

[julianangel]

I honestly believe hitting that game winner solidified that confidence boost he needed to go on a run

 

[dmvisrnb]

The game winner could be the turning point of our season. Down 25, to win it like that....unleashed the beast in RJ that I was afraid he didn't have in him, based on how passive he always plays. But he's playing like it's his squad and demanding the ball like his number has been called. The difference is pretty surreal. I just hope RJ can keep it up and I will happily eat crow

 

[throwback1718]

RJ.
It was something I feared from season beginning. The team was deep. Almost too deep for him to be able to really take the reigns.
Especially since he has respect for the elders, he wouldn't overstep. Now is his time. The main ball handlers are out and Julius isn't himself....

Wonder what he would do on a team where he was REALLY the#1 or 2 option. Like KAT on the wolves, D Fox , Sexton etc.
Either way good dub

 

[Coupé It]

we should wear these unis more often

our best set imo

Just need to go back to our old font. Like the new black uniforms.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Rj finally starting to show consistency hopefully he continues to play this way. Jury still out on him

 

[kingfoamnyc]

I honestly believe hitting that game winner solidified that confidence boost he needed to go on a run

I read something somewhere about how psychologically that released some endorphins in his brain to realize his full potential

I gotta find it cause dude called it right after it happened had literature to back it up as well

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I can really see that.

Dudes be chasing that endorphin hit like a junkie. Gotta be part of what makes some athletes so obsessive.
