Ill take it but not overly excited by it by any means. RJ was phenomenal tonight. Randle was hot garbage who needs to start being held accountable for his lackluster play since the playoffs started last year. Obi's earning more playing time and should get it when Randles half assing.
There's something about an underdog that really inspires the unexceptional.

the o/u on the Knicks win total before the season started was 41.5

after winning 41 games last year, people legitimately believed the team didn't improve by replacing:

12/2 (Payton)
10/1 (bullock)

with

15/5 kemba
18/4 fournier

I agree with Wally, Randle got a lot of flack from me but he’s deferring more to guards lately.

Can’t overlook this game. RJ looked special and like he was not rattled.

We been saying RJ need the ball, thank you Julius for sacrificing touches for the team.

"Herro has had the better career" :noway: :noway: :noway:
"Herro is better offensively" :nonono: :nonono: :nonono:
"Wish we had picked Herro over RJ" :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Very disappointed that we needed a Kobe game from RJ to beat this Pelicans team, but a win is a win.

The train keeps moving


Not that you're wrong but its the NBA. Teams play 82 games and they don't "get up" for everyone. Hence the saying 'if you play hard you're .500.

Boston, Chicago, Philly are hyped games that players show up for. On the road in NO, before a crowd of dozens, doesn't elicit the same player motivation.

Two concerns.

Julius dribbles too much and his handles aren't great.

NY turns the ball over way more than necessary because they aren't a good passing team. That sloppiness will work against the bottom teams, but if you expect to compete you gotta clean that up.

Liked, but it needs to continue to be consistent.

Whoever told RJ to stop the damn slow down Euro is the real MVP. He’s putting it all together folks and it’s 2 straight games.

Kemba looking great and thus far he is 7-8 minutes per game below his career average which is crucial.

He deferred after nearly losing the game for us. He gets no bonus points for that.

the thing i don't understand is people not realizing the improvements in his game from year 1 to year 2 to year 3 is the trajectory you'd want out of your player.

if rj was truly on a rebuilding team, he's the #1 option and dropping 20+ ppg.
