Hopefully RJ gets in with that "special chemistry we have" before the playoffs start...maybe even as soon as tonight!

Laughing at I-Hart’s face on dunk and Brunson’s J-Hart comment.

Also waiting on cheerleader pics.

Thibs “Liker” here but hoping he doesn’t play Brunson 40 minutes tonight.

not disclosed what his “illness” was. We forget he is biologically still 22 and regardless of his professional expereince he might not have his man strength yet. As he fills out he might be slower. I’d think Knicks employed a physiologist to guide them in making a 100mil investment in his young man. Understanding his body type, hips, knees, ankle and energy levels. Propensity for injury or not. Etc.
Not like he is a bust, we talking about some efficiency levels. Lets hope he comes on sooner than later, and if its later it brings consistency.

No doubt RJ has some physical maturity stuff to grow out of. I'm concerned that his limitations evidenced recently are more about mental lapses and waning confidence, something he'd need a psychologist's help with, or at least a coach with more emotional intelligence than Thibs can provide.

Let's hope he finds some confidence before the first round, and gets back to ballin like we know he can. Maybe his buddy Zion can give him a pre-playoffs pep talk?

Go bold or go home. Monica just needs to whispser in his ear and he'll do anything, just like the rest of us would

IQ gets more burn and Deuce steps in.
Knicks might need Miles vs. Cavs back court duo. THere will be a game we fall behind and someone is not playing well.
If comebacks start with defense then perhaps he is the spark.
One never knows........Garland and DM are a handful and can take you out fast when hot. Allen, Mobley and Okoro can slow a fast pace team like ours.

I'd sit RJ, Rob, Hart and limit IQ's mpg. Let Fournier and Rose get some burn just in case we need them.

Should be careful with IQs mins too. He has played a lot over the last month. Should be a lot of Deuce and Obi out there tonight.

Former Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose is one of the 12 finalists for the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award for 2023. 

The other finalists include Darius Garland, Mikal Bridges, Udonis Haslem, Jrue Holiday, Grant Williams, Harrison Barnes, Steph Curry, Aaron Gordon Jaren Jackson Jr., Damion Lee and Damian Lillard. 

"The annual honor recognizes the player deemed the best teammate based on selfless play, on & off court leadership as a mentor & role model to other NBA players, & commitment & dedication to team," according to the NBA.

Right hand load management...

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

the games against Miami and Cleveland were the games I was most excited for this season...

These next three games are the group of games I am next most excited for... I really want to see how the young, end of the rotation guys play. This is some decent experience. For once, we aren't featuring guys like this in February for ping pong balls. I really want to see how these guys look when our stars are engaged on the bench. This has such a different feel to it than when, say, Steve Mills was in charge
