Saw on KnicksfanTV’s page that were on for 7:30pm on Sunday. That’s prime time prime time.

Knicks in 7. People thinking this will be a walk in a park will face a reality check. There will a game we should win but choke away and vice versa. There will be at least 1 Hawks 15+ point win and 1 Knicks 15+ point win. This will go the distance and should be loads of fun.

'How to get to him?' What are they gonna do, try to get him thrown out?

Let them talk. Randle gona splashing on these hoes.

Thibs will have the entire team ready, not his first rodeo. Prolly not the best tactic to slight an MVP right before u square off in the playoffs.

I'm sure the coach loved that quote. Even if it wasn't really anything. We love the talk.

Randle is goink to get doubled at half court (probably Trae leaving Payton) to try and force him to give the ball up and prevent him from getting a head of steam and/or starting the offense. They'll leave Payton wide open to start the game. WIDE OPEN. And Payton will either make a play or not.

I'm not expecting Elfrid to play for too long. I hope DRose got his beauty sleep.

Also, I hope they don’t put double guy in Randles go to spots like the Suns did.

But they will.

If they do that we will sweep them. Not totally excluded tho, their coach holds the record for sweeping probably.

Just look at those. Detroit...the dumbest of those teams...was the only one that actually guarded frank like he was a threat. Everyone else was leaving him on his own to help in the paint. Elf is a unique brand of awful, but that doesn't mean Frank is respected as a shooter...and he's not going to make anyone second-guess doubling Julius.

All of those defenders never got more than one pass away to recover. Even Chris Paul stayed close enough to recover and contest.

They don't treat him like Elf.

Once again, 65% of Frank's shots are at least moderately contested.

17% of Elf's shots are moderately contested.

Only 4% of Elf's 3 pt attempts have a defender within 6 ft.

28% of Frank's 3's have a defender within 6 ft.

How can you say the defense treat Elf and Frank the same?

Fair, saying they're the same was just hyperbole on my part.

But I stand by my point that Frank isn't respected as a shooter either and is in no way a solution to Julius getting doubled. Despite having a better 3pt rate, he simply does not get anywhere near the kind of respect/attention that Barrett, Bullock, Burks & Quickley do.

EDIT:
Wait a minute, I didn't ever say Frank & Elf were the same...did I?

So let’s play this out. Frank is in doing a decent job on Trae. Hawks start doubling Randle at half court which leads to an open corner 3 for Frank.
Do you live with that result?

So the format is Sunday Wednesday Sunday? That's a lot of rest for Rose and practice time for any backups including newly arrived Vildoza.

After a month of demoting Payton I cannot for the life of me believe Payton starts or plays.

Hopefully Elf returns to his play earlier in the season...he wasn’t great but did have some decent games...he was just so bad at the end of the year!
