I zapped through a lot of games this morning. this ultra condensed schedule pisses me off. seems like there are 10 games on one night and 1-2 **** games the next. most teams I like to see all play at the same day.

I love the cup games tho. every one I watched was a thriller :lol:

When Randle lost his shoe, it took hom for ever to get it back on, like two possessions worth of basketball, I was worried the Kings were going to score (at one point it was 5 on 4) and the Wolves were going to blow the game and Randle was about to get all the blame. I could easily see the fans going at him hard, turning this into the "shoe game" and memes popping up about how he botched the Cup game lol, I'm happy it didn't go down like that.

Knicks and Wolves always play on the same day :lol:

It's kind of nice though because I have been catching the Knicks first and then the Wolves come on later but I would prefer if they traded off.

As a fan of Towns, it would get frustrating watching him make his stupid mistakes at times, outside of that, he brought an extremely positive energy to the team and was a fantastic unifier. Ant became the on court rah rah leader but Towns was absolutely a major part of the chemistry and joy of the team. Losing him has hurt the vibe a lot, the team doesn't feel the same, that is a more intangible aspect to Towns as a player and person but its definitely felt, he brought an energy that is missed.

yea i know scheduling is probably complex but it's annoying. to start the season the knicks had 2 days off after the 1st and 2nd game, then again like a week later. now they have two back to backs in less than a week.

is it not possible to get rid of the 2 day breaks to avoid some of the back to backs?

and yea the other day there was a single game on lol what are you doing NBA.

Regression to the mean, he was not good off the bench for us last season either, his game didn't take off till he got starts and playing a crazy minutes load. They should think about starting him if they really want to maximize what he is.

He’s streaky, that’s all it is.

He’ll get back on track then he’ll go through a cold streak again. Which is why I never understood the incessant crying over him. He’s a good guy to root for but his defense is sus and his offense comes and goes. Is what it is.

This is why I'm glad he is here.

1. He made it work with Gobert when people were talking about how it wouldn't
2. He made it work with Edwards when he is now ascending to the top of NBA mountains
3. He is a modern big man
4. Locker room in Minny has been positive like you said.

knicks have to figure out some of the kinks but KAT is a willing participant to adapt.

Yikes haven't been watching Donte since his trade. But DD did mention that Thibs offense system is not modern enough when DD defended Thibs and saying that everyone in this lockeroom (Knicks) last year had career years. Gotta give Thibs his dues for unlocking whatever DD was doing last year.

Another great fourth quarter by LaMelo. I think the Bucks got robbed though, LaMelo seemed to have tripped on his own shoes. I like the move of the Hornets in subbing LaMelo out for the last defensive play. I hope Thibs gets more creative in those situations in swapping out JB and putting in Deuce or maybe even Cam in situations wherein we need a stop.
