So, is Thibs bullshitting with running a more uptempo offense? I think he is. This goes against every fiber of his being. It will hurt the defense. I think he'll try it in stretches but when the game is on the line or close in the 4th, that is when I need to see if he truly believes in it.
If he is telling the truth and this is what he wants, then maybe, just maybe, he will let go of some of his stubbornness.
We have all killed Randle but I hope it works out for him. I hope there is a way to build him up to either make us a better team and/or trade him. If Randle is going to be running more, then the first thing he needs to do is stop letting people in his head and arguing with the refs. Too many times last year he wouldn't hustle back on D.
Anyway, the first preseason game is tomorrow at 7. I can't wait to see what they look like and the style they will be playing.

He HAS to play some of the younger player by default.

Haha. Thibs and his hockey lines…

Great article. I finally decided to go for a subscription to The Athletic.
Randle? or Fournier and Rose?

It's well worth it. Tons of quality content.
Lakers could send Westbrook and Nunn for Randle/ Fournier/ Rose and Reddish. Would you do that for just one of the Lakers future 1sts unprotected?
I personally probably would. Are the Lakers getting a better package than that this year ?

That's really good for both sides.
The Post said yesterday that the Lakers pulled the plug on that deal.
“He’s a pest,” Barrett said after the game. “You saw it out there today.”
“Adds a lot,” Quickley said. “Especially defensively. You can see him getting out in passing lanes, steals. You know he can do that. And he’s added a lot to his game offensively.”
"It really was a fairy tale. It was magical. I hate to sound super cliché, but after I hit the corner dagger, it was so loud that I had chills, goosebumps, and I had to look down because I thought I was hovering," Lin recalled. That’s how loud and magical it was. I actually thought, am I levitating right now?
I’ve never experienced something like that. I’ve won an NBA championship and I’ve won some big games, but I haven’t experienced an atmosphere like that before or after. That game was just so special."
"38 at the Garden" will provide a look at the cultural impact Lin's seemingly immortal stretch had and continues to have on the Asian-American community. It will be available to stream on HBO Max on Oct. 11.

OP deletes his own threads. There are other observations I could make about that OP but I'll stick to answering the question.
As for "38 at the Garden", I recall a quote from a long-time MSG employee that the electricity in the building before the game hadn't been matched in 20 years; then to deliver 38 . . .

Update: Cam Reddish will be listed as questionable tomorrow vs Indiana due to ankle injury. He did not practice today.

Mitchell Robinson on why he tried to add some post moves over the summer: "Because it puts pressure on the defense. They’ll be like, ‘Oh snap.’ I’m pretty sure everybody’s scouting report is just, lob, this, that and that. So, you got to add. You got to."

I feel like we hear this from Mitch every offseason and then the games start and he looks the same offensively. Last season I think it was the amount of time he spent on his 3 point shot…

Knicks announce Quentin Grimes (foot) and DaQuan Jeffries (concussion protocol) are both OUT for tomorrow.
Svi Mykhailiuk (back), Cam Reddish (ankle) and Jericho Sims (groin) are all QUESTIONABLE.

Yeah, I almost started a separate thread about him. I can see why Ainge wants to tank to get him.
Who says they will? It's preseason games. I don't expect McBride to get minutes and I deeply doubt Reddish will either.
Quick needs to get 25-30 minutes too.

Reddish wasn’t even one of the twelve that I was talking about. I guess Sims and McBride won’t play much until there’s an injury.
Quick needs to get 25-30 minutes too.
Obi did get more minutes than Randle last night. I think that will happen often.
Team looks ripped and ready to go. Everyone is in great shape. It’s gonna be a good year.
End of the day, this is a good team that isn't as likely to self-destruct because it's starting power forward is frowning on the court as some make it to be.
