Thibs is either spiteful or stupid or both
He broke Kemba
He was signed with a minutes restriction expectation and he plays him 40 minutes in consecutive games

The Knicks have a chance to get above .500 with this stretch of losing record teams they are facing but I doubt they do because they have been so inconsistent since they have a losing record themselves.
This is one of those games they seem to lay an egg in.

won't be long before tom makes an offering of Obi/fornier's organs for new knees/ankles for Derrick and if that fails don't be surprised when he forces him to play 45min+ in a walking boot in back to backs until all that remains is his jersey in a puddle of blood and bones. only god and the trade deadline can save him from the horrible wrath of the pale hairless fat one

Re: Knicks vs Celtics - Thursday 1/6/22 7:30 pm TNT
Have to hope RJ continues to trend upwards every game and Randle let's RJ run the offense bc that's when the team and RJ is at its best since we don't have a pg.
Randle is talented enough if his shot is on where he can get his letting the game come to him.
That's the saving grace of this season and for the FO not to gut our youth.
QUESTION.... If RJ emerges as a "#2" the second half of the season and he and Randle learn how to play off eachother what do you do? Do you keep the team as is?
Why tf can't Obi play the 3 and take Fournier's place. RJ, Randle, Obi, Mitch. Pair that 4 with a defensive pg that can break down the defense and can get in the paint. I'd not give up on Deuce after 2 games where the entire team was w.o any direction and desperately was pressing to carry the burden.
...Obi can't shoot worse than Fournier's been.

You’d have RJ and Randle who last I checked each shoot about 32-33%this year, Toppin who shoots 21%, McBride who shoots 18%, and Mitch who shoots 0%. So no that won’t work shooting would be too bad

It was revenge for that stretch of good games after the t banishment - this includes the 44 point explosion. That really made Thibs look bad.

I considered that however hows it much different than what we already employ? Difference is Obi can score in multiple ways and plays much better defense than Fournier. Just thinking5of ways to keep Obi as a Knick and give him starter minutes.

Randle and RJ playing well together last game is a great sign ... if they can keep doing it. Doesn't have to be 30 and 30. Just play solid, aggressive, team basketball ... and hit your shots, of course.
