HmmmMVP.

With zero wins

I see 279 wins, or a 66% overall winning percentage.

I see a 28 year old with an 0-5 ECS record and zero ECF appearances.

His accolades are too many to list, but he's having his best year yet, which means he's entering the best of his prime. Let's see how it goes this year with a proven coach. Doc Rivers wasted this team for 4 years (2020 - 2023).

Good player but a huge sissy and is miles away from a Jokic impact. Commenting that he had a better stat pad game vs Jokic is silly.

Miani always ruins everyone's plans despite their brutal roster. Butler sleep walks until the playoffs.

Thibs better chill on OG man. Working him like a dog since the trade.

Gotta save some gas in the tank for the playoffs !

Madman is the term for Thibs I've seen several times on the Knicks board. They need that next trade to give Thibs more depth to work with but I'm not sure he can help himself.

He overplays Brunson too.

Randle is a player that drives me crazy.

OG is not the most durable guy. He’s going to get injured at this rate, but Knicks have been looking real good since the trade.

It's scary. They need a guard to replace IQ and they also need a 3-4 who can spell OG and Randle.

I didn't think much about Robinson's injury when it happened aside from sympathy for him. But now I'm seeing what a big loss that was to their depth.

They’ve had a couple of impressive victories against the t-wolves and sixers. But they’re generally beating up on developing teams. Yesterday they needed Brunson to score 41 and OG to score 19 to beat the wizards by 5.
They desperately need more offensive help.

Denver Boston tonight. Just turned on ESPN pregame show, the topic is How important is the upcoming stretch for the Lakers. Each of the 5 panelists gives their take.

Wonder if they ever do a segment like that for the Hornets, Heat, Thunder, any other team. It's sickening how the Lakers are like the home team of ESPN. Not much doubt they are the league's darling too.

It's nauseating and just aggravating. I'd love to distill my viewing to live mic feeds (all players) and hardcourt sounds. No commercials on court or on broadcast either. Just court sounds during breaks. I just want all the noise blocked out and I'm willing to pay for it too. Should maybe go the extra yard and get off here and Reddit too, but at least it's a bit more interesting. Just a bit.

I forget which poster here likes my old school stories. In the old ABA in the 70s, Bob Costas was a very young radio pbp guy for the legendary Spirits of St Louis. He tells a story of missing a flight to an away game, and for the first half all the audience back in St Louis heard was the squeaks and players yelling and the arena announcer giving the fouls and subs etc. He got there, did the second half, somehow didn't get fired.


The book Loose Balls, an oral history of the ABA by Terry Pluto, is a funny must-read for anyone in in basketball history.
