Just finished watching last night's game. Fun squad we got here. 8-8...who saw this coming? I sure as hell didn't. Barrett has looked much, much better of late. Keep it up.
fan since the mid-1950"s when the entire team showed up at my grade school to hold a practice-- led by their stars Carl Braun and Harry Gallitan. Finally, after being in the wilderness for the last 15 or so years, they are really fun to watch again. The youngsters are incrrediby talented and remind me of the late 1960's teams with young guys like Clyde, Bradley, and Willis. Guys, good things are about to happen.
I agree. Different league these days but they are adopting the mentality of their head coach like the 90s Knicks did with Riley and Van Gundy. Yes, ypu can teach grit and hard play.
RJB responds tn in back to back games and would not mind seeing Obi get more minutes and Randle less. At this pace I feel Randle will burn out but what the hell do I know. He is in much better shape this year so I guess there's that
My memories of the Giants and Yankees go back to the late '50s, but I didn't start following the Knicks until the '64-'65 season. For one thing, they sucked in the early '60s. But the media coverage wasn't at all the same either.
That '64-'65 season was the rookie year of Willis, Jim Barnes (the 1st round pick) and Howard Komives. Yes, Howard Komives from Bowling Green, RIP. He was the player who interested me the most. I figured that if a short, slow white guy named Howard could play on the Knicks, maybe I had a shot too.
Things really took off from there. They acquired Bellamy, then traded him for DeBusschere; drafted Bradley, Clyde and Cazzie. Very interesting people as well as good players. The Knicks became must-see.
Oh, and Dick Barnett - loved him too. Great shooter. I tried to emulate him (after Komives washed out of the league pretty quickly).
NBA League Pass for YouTube TV. I love it...no commercials, only in arena coverage and you get to see them warmup about half an hour before the game with no interruptions...pretty cool.
He has such an ugly shot. What does he do well besides jump? I am trying to figure out what the Knicks were so smitten about. I get it he is a rookie, but I can’t figure out what he is going to be good at.

he shot 40% from 3 in college, he can score in a variety of ways, he is not just a guy who can jump

Randle was literally tackled on the way to the basket no call...then they call some ticky tak bullshit 20 feet from the ball the next trip down
Hes all over the court, great off the ball
