Julius Randle Is In Health and Safety Protocols.

My dad also said that people might think this suicide talk was humorous, and while there is humor AROUND it, it in and of itself is very, very serious.

He knew of several ex army friends who took their own life, including one very recently, and of several close friends and family members who also did this, over the years. He advised that while it is good to always keep laughing, it's also good to keep an eye on those you know who may be hurting and reach out to them, because even a small gesture may stay their hand.

Did he share his username and password with you with his last breath? Technically that violates community rules.

It auto logged in. I can create a new account if necessary.

Something like "KnicksGawd", where I'd post about RJ being good.

If you don't know as much as your dad about basketball, then you should post that RJ is bad.

I think my dad would say he shouldn't have to spell out a joke about RJ being good, KnicksGod and DaGawd.

Shake it off soldier and get ready for Toolsy Obi Ball.

This Obi guy seems decent but still a bit raw.
I think he'll both impress and disappoint with more minutes, if that is possible.
And that he should be averaging more minutes already, but this Mr Thibedeau seems a bit stubborn.

There's a lot of hatred, acrimony and infighting in this topic. This is the RealGM Knicks my dad enjoyed the most.

You need to fill your dad's Senate seat, at least until Randle comes back and there's a special election. This board needs you, Knicks fans need you, I need you. Plus keep in mind: UltimateKnicks has Ignore buttons that are easier to find so few people will ever read your posts there. And Twitter has a new algorithm to identify militia members so you probably won't go far there either.

[seren]

This belongs here...

We need Randle to go into covid protocol and see what we got with the rest of the starters

My man

This board will attack Kyrie Irving and other athletes, as well as their own friends, family and neighbors for not taking the jab. Many of you are calling for laws that will mandate vaccinations, and some even advocate for loss of pay and health benefits, as well as fines and jail time for those who won't get the jab.

And then you people will turn around and wish Covid on one of our players (someone's father, husband and son), just because he's not playing well. You disgust me.

Relax. It was a joke.

I'm going to try to learn about basketball and the Knicks.

My dad downloaded the last two Knick games and I watched them.

These are my observations.

I'm not sure why any of you enjoy watching these guys
This Randle guy doesn't seem to enjoy playing basketball.

I suspect the team will struggle to score a bit in some situation without the gravity Randle can provide at times, but their joy and effort will increase a lot. Why? I don't know. I'm not sure why Randle could have what is clearly a negative attitude, when he is the leader of the team and well compensated.

It's possible he's injured, from playing too many minutes for a season and a third. Isn't that the coaches fault?

[nykfan42]

Has ANY player that entered health and safety protocols had any actual issues health wise? Besides conditioning after being shut down for however many days? Randle is gonna be fine. These protocols make no sense being that virtually every player in the league is vaccinated. What's the point of all this?

Embiid said he didn't think he was going to make it and Tatum came back from covid the first time requiring an inhaler.

Bamba had a hard time with it the first time he got it also

After being fully vaccinated? I'm not undermining the virus, I'm questioning the effectiveness of this vax. Seems like a lot of nonsense. Players are even questioning it.

[Monk1718]

I have to say that reading all this stuff, including my own, without being able to respond to it, makes one realize how "Please use a more appropriate term" most of it is.

What did you get suspended for?

Hi.

I'm posting on behalf of my father, who you knew as "Thebuzzardman".

It's a long story, but after being banned, he became more mentally unstable than usual and his mood swings, always strange after Knicks wins and losses, took a more extreme edge. I think it was due to not being able to post about his beloved Knicks. While my dad was basically a decent person, he did occasionally show signs of being a "drunk uncle", though he chalked it up to satire and sarcasm, which he said people my age were less able to detect due to "oversensitivity". We debated this, but he just leaned harder into the bitter side of his personality and in his last days embraced right wing nationalism, QAnon and took to ranting on twitter. Then we found him hanging in the garage.

He said I should honor his memory by continuing to post about basketball, that there were a handful of posters who knew what they were talking about, but most everyone, like him, was just an assh*les staking out opinions and trying to win arguments. I don't follow sports or basketball, but he indicated I could learn about the game from some people on here, but none of them were mods.

He left us some money, mostly nice memories and a dirty Patrick Ewing jersey.

What a work of art. You better keep this up.

[thebuzzardman]

I don't really know basketball or viruses, but this Randle guy plays like he's had Long Covid since after week one.

[nykfan42]

Embiid said he didn't think he was going to make it and Tatum came back from covid the first time requiring an inhaler.

KAT lost a large number of family members - although no evidence it came from him. Others have lost people, too. If a young, healthy, vaccinated person (NBA player type) can spread Covid, others can die, too. They count, even if they don't play in the NBA.

That stuff with embiid and Tatum (Rose had a bad case too iirc) were all pre-vaccine though right? Now these players are vaccinated so should have a better time of it

That's what I'm saying. They're all vaxed. Isn't that the point of the vax? So they don't have any negative side effects etc? I'm not talking pre-vaccine.

Embiid was vaccinated when he got hit with COVID hard. Breakthrough cases exist, which seems like a lot of people aren’t aware of unfortunately.

There absolutely are. I'm well aware of that. There are way more than we know I'm sure because there is an agenda to make everyone get the vaccine. That's why I think the vaccine is really pointless right now.

What happened with Embiid? I had no idea he had it that bad. Also what is getting hit hard? Everyone has their idea of what that means. I had Covid in February and it was mostly just a sore throat, headache and nausea. Lasted only like 3 or 4 days if that. This was considered hit hard to my boss at work haha. I don't think so.

According to the narrative, breakthrough cases are still supposed to prevent hospitalization and severe symptoms. The whole promotion of vaccinations has been saying while it won’t prevent you from getting COVID, you shouldn’t require hospitalizations and extreme symptoms. That’s supposed to be the scare tactic left for the unvaccinated (hospitalization, severe symptoms, etc). You know this. This is your field.

[Gorilla Monsoon]

From my understanding it’s pretty likely he has COVID.


The unvaccinated people enter protocols if they are exposed however.

Which makes no sense since the “vaxxed” can obviously still get and spread covid. This whole crap is dumb but whatever lol. Omicron is basically a natural vaccine or booster at this point for 99%+ people once they get over their sniffles.

Not for the unvaccinated

I'm 35 years old, have been eating like sh*t all year, unvaccinated, and currently have Covid. I'm totally fine. Was feverish for a day. Headache for about 36 hours. Now I'm coughing a bit and have a runny nose.

I'm being well-behaved. Staying home so I don't spread it to anyone, especially my loved ones. I'm enjoying the banter here on RealGM, as well as my Oculus Quest 2, and tons of leftover Italian food and chocolates my wife brought from Germany.

What a criminal I am. Shall I be fined, locked up, and denied health care in the future?

Or should I just stay home for another few days until I test negative, and enjoy the natural immunity I will gain from this? Just like I did in March 2020 when I last had Covid, which gave me immunity all the way until now? Almost as if I was vaccinated.... but better....

Isn’t he also anemic? Maybe he’s immuno-deficient?

Embiid said he thought he wasn’t going to make it. Not everyone is going to have the same experience with COVID.

The vaccines work for the most part. But there’s some rare cases where some people still get some symptoms bad and long term effects. It’s pretty rare though. But that is why COVID is being taken seriously, vaccinated or not.

Said this to another poster

Vaccines aren’t going to 100% work. Everyone knows that. It’s like wearing a seatbelt. Wearing a seatbelt considerably protects you against major injury/death, but there’s still a small chance you can die or get a major injury. Would you rather try to protect yourself with a seatbelt or take the chance without it?

Anyways I’m not going to derail this thread anymore. I said what I said. Wishing a speedy recovery to Randle and hopefully his family is fine.

By scare tactic you mean the hospitalization data that allows us to make informed decisions? I personally don’t find the data to be scary it’s actually really comforting. If people find data and line graphs scary that may be their own inner voice trying to tell them something, any emotions generated are up to the individual interpreter but the stats are the stats
