I turned it on at half time. Saw Knicks make a run, then get devistated.
Im off to costco. Y’all can figure out fantasy moves and fix this team.

1. FInd the blame. Then eradicate. Not really tangible but it feels good.

check one of the aisles for 3pt defense?

THat is part of it.
KNowing the symptoms is one thing. The cause and solution is another.
REbecca with child. Martin gonna have to write those palimony checks!

Martin keeps posting pics of pre-prego Rebecca- I think he is in denial.

we should have. Denver was 3 & 7 in their last 10, bunch of players hurt, missing.

We're at home. We lost a close game against a better team.

No, they aren't any good. They are an average NBA team. At least they have their picks. Its a shame they hitched their wagon longterm to a bunch of bums though

Half the roster is young guys with 4 years or less experience in the league

I call Randle a Bum:

young team?

We started the year with Kemba, Fournier, RJ, Randle and Mitch- only two of those players are young.

Off the bench, Rose, IQ, Burks, Taj & Noel.

Average age of the roster, 26.1 which is right in the middle of the NBA.

Yes, young team. The Knicks, they got 4 guys 23 and under in the regular rotation - Mitch, RJ, Obi, IQ. Their top paid player is 27.

Also, Taj and Seldon skew the average age and really who cares about average age

I think there are a multitude of things wrong with the team and individuals right now…

Mitch and Noel are not healthy.

Randle adjusting to new expectations, new teammates, and distractions like starring in crappy commercials. And teams are very focused on defending his current game. The MIP needed to keep improving.

RJ hitting a wall.

Randle and RJ going left. I’m not sure what improvements either has made to their games since last year.

EF not playing with any consistency. And not hustling on defense as much as the guy he replaced. And man does he make some terrible/weak passes.

Team chemistry ranging from good to dreadful/nonexistent.

Not enough Obi.

I think much of the above is temporary or fixable.

I’m okay if we make a trade. I’m also okay if we do nothing. I look forward to the team figuring things out, and the young guys making an impact.

If we start showing signs, and win games like Christmas day, I’ll be high on the team again.
