I was weirdly impressed by how strong he looked, and especially how it didn't effect his fluidity. Dude didn't look too awkward

Someone needs to create a graphic showing the Jokic backup center "tree." Jamychal Green and Mason Plumlee are also looking solid in their respective roles. Denver has had some decently talented backups for pass through for Joker and they still end with the likes of Javale McGee and DeMarcus Cousins at the start of each season.

anyone notice Rick Brunson coaching up Cam? Wondering if he's the Cam-whisperer

i am seeing less ill-advised shots and drives from him. And he looks to be reasonably happy and building confidence

I was very surprised by his fluidity of movement. He obviously has put in work to get stronger and improve his physiology. As mentioned on the broadcast his durability was suspect and still is.
Love that Mitch blocked his shot. that does not happen often to him!!!!!

At least he’s playing more like Julius 2 years ago. He still makes some stupid f’ing decisions but not nearly as frequently. He’s putting in the big effort on defense and letting Brunson take the ball up the court. That’s all that matters to me. I don’t mind him jacking up shots sometimes. I never have. It’s the pure stupidity and bad attitude that kills me and we haven’t seen that yet. Good on him. Those are things that can change and i always appreciate that type of improvement.

100% he looked great and strong. Like a young KG and not like his "this guy might break at any moment" dad (RIP Manute was a great human being)

Watching him move and his skills...he's stays healthy he can def have an impact on the floor

through 3 games the minutes are great. Nobody averaging more than 34 minus (RJ leading team). Randle has played well (31) minutes and we have 3 bench players with 20 minutes plus (Hart/IQ/Cam)

Of course we knew Thibs was one of the league's best coaches so seeing him lean on the depth is no surprise

That video is f’ing funny though.

Good win at home against a team we need to beat. We lost this same game against this same team twice last season. I think Brunson is the key. He just keeps the team calm and steady. He always seems to make that key hoop to answer a run too.

Got to give kudos to Randle. He was outstanding last night and has been outstanding thus far this season. He's playing with a different attitude and energy. Brunson has helped him most imho by taking the ball and pressure off him. He's no longer seeing double and triple teams and love the way he's running the floor and playing faster. His on the court demeanor is a complete change from last season too. He was actually JOKING with the zebras and has brought the team together for a huddle multiple times already. I really hope this continues! He'll either continue to help us win or it'll make it much easier to trade him.

Encouraging to see RJ make some shots in the second half. I'm honestly not worried at all about him. All players go through these string of games where the outside shot just doesn't fall. RJ needs to keep calm, keep being aggressive, take good shots, take the ball the hoop and defend and be a playmaker. Those shots will start to fall.

IQ didn't make a shot but he did everything else. Love love LOVE his playmaking thus far. He has a few blunders trying to make the home run pass to Obi but overall his PG play has been great. And Obi with another game with energy and dunks. That no-look backwards pass to RJ for the dunk was sick!!!

Banchero is impressive. He's super skilled and I like the pace he plays with. But I must admit I was most impressed with Bol Bol! Amazing what this kid can do at 7'2"! It kind of gives us a small preview of what Wembanyama will be like.

2-1 and gotta win the next one against the Hornets at home! The schedule gets tough next week!

I've been a Knicks fan for years... At some point it stops being makeup.

Even Randle knows a trade is inevitable. That's why he's giving his stuff away.
