Knicks fans are super interesting, the general level of basketball knowledge in NYC is ultra high but then there's this gigantic blind spot for the Knicks with their fans, ppl really still believe Carmelo is the second or third best player in the league
One morning this summer though I overheard two kids on subway to day camp debating whether Russell's ten rings count for more or less than Jordan's six because if expansion, rule changes, the three point line, etc. these kids were def no older than 10-11 or so

Is this sitcom going to mysteriously disappear every third week, zing
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 20 November 2013 22:37 (ten years ago) link
Perhaps it will get dragged to the top of the ratings twice by a better developed sitcom while the showrunner lags behind to argue with the executives

Aldridge is on pace to challenge the record for most midrange jumpers attempted in a season, per NBA.com. He’s jacking 12.8 per game, putting him on pace for about 1,050 such shots. Michael Jordan has the highest recorded mark, launching 1,056 midrangers in 2002-03 with the Wiz.
huh.

For those keeping score; Amar'e & Iman had knee surgery over summer. Metta twice had his knee drained. Knicks say nothing. Incredible

Heh, last night in the 1st half of the Knicks/Pistons game, iirc Melo had the following offensive possession sequence over three minutes, elegant in it's awfulness:
3pt fg hits side of the glass ->Missed Layup ->Charging ->Dribbling TO ->0-2 FT trip
Also maybe about time for a FT intervention with Andre Drummond now that he's hitting rock bottom. Cruel to watch someone play with so much intensity and then just melt down at the FT line. He shot 1-5 last night and his season FT % improved!

Stuff about Portland's defense and playing the odds to allow long jumpers while taking away the three is pretty interesting

hibbert is a good player but man he is so slow and robotic on offense he just had a path to the basket from five feet out but it took him so long to gather a defender showed up and he missed the shot

I haven't watched the Knicks since Tyson got injured. Paul George just willed himself to two buckets and then they gave up back to back transition threes by hill and Watson. I don't think defense is their forte

Not really sure how Pacers got it to overtime; didn't establish Hibbert early and have kinda been rudderless offensively all game.

George Hill looking very tired-- front-ended a ton of shots there at the end.
