the minute I saw crybaby Rick at the post game talking about small market teams deserve a fair shot- I said oh boy -you just killed Indy :lol:
I also expect the Knicks to come out with a focus to keep this game out of the refs hands too...
I think we win tonight -just my feeling...


this the GT energy we looking for

I really believe it JVG...I think Cry baby made the Knick chip on their shoulders BIGGER :lol:
I'm very excited about this game...

You need to give Brunson help in the form of a second reliable scorer.

Can hardly call Randle 'reliable' in that department and defensively he's below average.

Would like to find another scorer who can take the pressure off Jalen Brunson. That has to be a top priority. He can't carry the team on his own. Not one player can. Role players are great to have but they will not remove the burden off Brunson.


Julius is 20/10/5. He's not a reliable second scorer? :lol: He's an all star player! Brunson needs a guy that can keep the team from falling off a cliff when he rests. That's the most important team issue. Brunsonless minutes. Julius even provided some of that too. This team is closer than many think. We have stars. We need them healthy.

Is he willing to be 2nd to Brunson?

he doesnt have a choice anymore, it's no longer a debate who's team it is, it's the guy on the billboard

The similarities are hard to ignore. unstoppable 1 on 1 guy Brunson in Steph, Donte always moving off ball like Klay, Hart being Draymond swiss army knife, OG being Iggy w/ a jump shot, Hartenstein being GSW version of Bogut. The speed with which we play at especially of 2nd opportunities. It's different but we definitely mirror 14-15 GSW

It's a good question. I think he would be, but you never know.
Melo should have loved Lin making the game easier for him... but we all know how that worked out...

excellent example...the ego can get us every time...that's my fear with Randle...


except randle isnt melo in this scenario, he's the amare or chandler of this team. And he's seeing this team flourish without him, and he's also been a free agent and not been coveted before.

Yes, the question is… would adding an older but still efficient KD to that soup get us at least one championship? I think it would get us at least 1-2 finals appearances…

If we had to go vet top 10 player-I think KD is probably the only guy that works...

Paul George would work too IMO. Kawhi if he were healthy.

Never know exactly what is going on between the ears.
Randle comes off as a good dude, but with a bit of a Ron Artest switch in his head.
He also knows he will be playing for a contract, so if he looks like a 2nd or 3rd banana... he might think he needs more numbers to get his finances in order.
