Ron Darling, when he was a Met, saw my wife in Manhattan and was like " Ay Mami, do fries come with that shake ". She is a Mets fan and told me about him spotting her in Manhattan back in the day. She was used to unwanted attention from men and gave him the " Talk to the hand " out of habit, the she realized he looked familiar, then said " That was Ron Darling " but kept it moving, cause " He would likely be after only one thing ". Unlike me who met her years later and put a ring on it, in the traditional Christian way, that she demanded. Good girl my wife

Maybe given the clock situation, Thibs thought Toronto would foul (we got possession with 25.1 left so the Raptors would have been pretty limited on time to tie it without fouling - and I also don't know how many timeouts they had). That said it works out and I think you have to give KAT a lot of credit for positioning and conviction to shoot to save us in that situation, as we seemed rather aimless. This is a good scenario from both coaching and players perspective. Thibs could have called TO but there is really no reason to burn the TO if there is a possibility that Toronto fouls? You definitely would like to burn some clock. You call a TO to get Brunson in and Raps also get a chance to sub out there version of Brunson and bring back in their defensive guys and to set their defense, and you also then need to get the ball in play, which the Knicks sometimes SUCK at. What we would expect is for someone - maybe KAT or Deuce or Mikal - to organize the offense. That seems to have been missed? Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program
