1) OG is a ****ing beast. Yeah. He is loose on offense. Confidence needs to be there. Finger rolls instead of dunks will get you castrated in NY. He’s a ****ing beast and needs to accept that. He disrupted Mike Maloney offense all night.

2) Randle is a new man. He is 100% making better decisions. Those 8 assists came without any pomp or circumstance. Just showed out with 8 assists. No forcing it. Just natural. DDV hit his shots.

3) Loki is a trickster. Oops. I mean Jalen MF Brunson. A) I wish I had the relationship with my dad (rip) he has. It’s awesome to watch. 2) His center of balance is elite. 3) If he got half the call Jokic got he would have 3 rings:

4) Jokic is an enigma. That’s the softest 31 points I’ve ever ever ever seen. His passing is elite. He deserved either an Emmy or a tech for his flopitude.

5) Gary Payton the first of his name would be proud of Hart. GLOVES.

6) Sims/Achiuwa held it down.

7) OG Anunoby gets game ball and a cigar. Jamaal Murray is legit and holding him to 7 points is insane.

8) Game was over when the Challenge on Anunoby’s Jokic swipe/foul/flop was overturned. Knicks have credibility. OG is a force. Lock him up. $35mm per unless he is willing to take less to give the Knicks room.

9) I honestly don’t remember Grimes scoring so many points. Will have to re watch.

10) Miami is next. Then, we rest.

Joyful JuJu

This Ju is all NBA. Gonna be hard to close out this year. But if he plays like this all season next year? All NBA. He has the capability to average a triple double on this team.

So you’re saying his value is pretty high right now…

Let’s just say he is playing well and didn’t lose an easy game going for 72.

If OG raises his contributions to be a 20 pt efficient scorer the Knicks will have a big 3 !!!. Let's just believe he does it. Positive energy and magical thinking.The we are just one good piece away

Might end up being a late bloomer on another team. Dont believe his game has flatlined like Frank.

he's perplexing b/c he plays with such confidence and aggression in garbage time and even finishes at the rim. Makes you want to believe but then I remember Obi used to average 30 in April games.

Just keep in mind how his high school to college career went. I see a ton of kids like this, they are slow adjusters. But when they settle in, they shine as they should IF the talent is there and things work.

Grimes could fail but I still see it for him when he gets over his mental hump

end of day I'm not trading or benching Grimes for anyone that isn't a long term piece. I mean he's averaging 9.2ppg since the day in just 18mpg. granted inflated by blowouts but it took 2.5 years for it to CLICK for IQ and for the game to slow down so I'm not out on Grimes just yet.
