hahaha

rudy set his career high with SEVEN blocks a couple weeks ago

er i mean assists

rudy gif is too good

Knicks can't beat the Pels without Davis lol

Knicks now tied for worst record in the NBA with Milwaukee, Utah hot on their heels

;

The stats.nba interactive box score thing is cool but a 15 second ad between each shot attempt is def gonna keep me from using it.

youtube full game player highlights 4 lyfe

ya they dont need to be making that small money its ruining the cool product

portland vs la is maybe the sloppiest professional game i've seen in awhile, just a bunch of guys tryin to play basketball and failing at it

Frank Isola ‏@FisolaNYDN 2m

According to @ESPNStatsInfo Knicks have lost 7 straight home games, matching their worst single-season home losing streak in team history

Most pitiful so far — New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets

WOW

Damn Nate Rob 18 fourth q points tonight.

#mozgovsrevenge

during those bosh threes they kept flipping back to beasley on the bench, who was losing his mind

seems like he's enjoying himself a lot this year which is (super) cool

He's enjoyed himself plenty

lol, paul pierce is out 2-4 weeks

Giannis is so incredibly fun to watch in person. I think he could definitely be a star. I mean at this point I'm just hoping for a top 5 draft pick but this team could be pretty damn cool 1-2 years down the road

five weeks into the season wes matthews' true shooting % is 70.5 what the hell

people are not supposed to shoot that well

lollin at this, he looks so happy and the italics is so forceful

steph curry has been ballin out of control

I wonder if Ryan Anderson has made a leap as a shooter this year. Really lighting it up so far.

he's been pretty nuts for a while, i've said he's a max guy for years

he is lighting it up so far this year wow

the thing abt anderson is hes not just some big guy who can shoot for % from distance, he gets a ton of quality looks, he has a really fast release and knows how to get open, hes a much more valuable shooter than yr standard already valuable 40% shooting power forward, and now that hes shooting %50+ from three holy shit, i mean its majorly doubtful hell keep it up at that rate but still

tuff day for rudy

Has anyone heard/watched Raptors home broadcast team do a game? My god the one color analyst (think there are 2, a white guy and a black guy. talking bout the white guy here) was absolutely brutal wrt Rudy the one game I caught. Really going out of his way to criticize Rudy. I've never witnessed a home team broadcaster just continually tear into a guy like that, over and over...

the guy takes almost 8 threes a game and is hitting over half of them. even at his career average rate, just under 39%, that is hugely, hugely valuable. i was laughing at some of the trades people were kicking around, like the idea that NO would trade him for asik straight up is just absurd

idk asik has a pretty valuable elite skill too

but he's a zero on offense and even if he were anderson's equal overall, which he ain't, why would you break up anderson-davis which is looking like they're going to start dominating the league any time now

i wouldnt break them up cause theyre a good fit, but andersen is pretty one dimensional too, those guys are one dimensional at maybe the two most acceptable things to be one dimensional at shooting and interior D

anderson also rebounds like a monster
