[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Why is my question? Injury or personal

Shai out again too. I’m slightly pissed at our team at the moment.

Hey @Mecca , listening to local radio this afternoon and the discussion focused on Jalen Williams. The subject became so who do we know to compare this guy to and what is his ceiling? In the end it was said the Thunder really think he can be a No 1 on an extremely good team. A more athletic Paul George was mentioned. My thoughts are I need to see more of him and that he should be pretty polished because of his age. I love what I’m seeing though. Thoughts?

@trojanfan12, @Wamu

Not a #1.

In a perfect world, he’d be a MONSTER #3.

But, I could totally see him as SGA #2, with Chet being #3.

Chet will not look to score as much.

I can see him being a skinny ass, Uber version of the Bucks Brook Lopez.

But, J Dub is a much harder comp.

Bro, I was watching the video and said…..here we go again with the little league older kid bullshit.

Personal, which is interesting.

Powell should be back.

But, if JJJ and Bane play, hard L for the Clippers.

So one of the local reporters asked the coach what it would mean to make the playoffs. He said as long as it happened along with everything else they want to accomplish the rest of the way it would be great. Then he goes on to say that they are not going to change what they are doing to accomplish it though. Something has happened, I mean they just let Shai play in a back to back. That was a pitiful performance organizationally last night, they win that game easy just by playing the right people at the right times.

Knicks slow out of the gate again today. Down by 10 now.

Already 8 turnovers and 7 missed FT's...and they're just early in the 2nd qtr at MSG.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Big shot by Brunson.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Knicks bounced back midway through the 2nd qtr....and will carry a 2 pt lead into the break...48-46.

As much as we don’t like it, because the playin/playoffs are within reach.

But, the best thing, long term, is to collect one more piece.

Chip is the goal.

Not a 1st round knockout.

Get another guy in the draft, or bundle picks in a trade.

Oh I agree, but people feel like if they were going to do it they should have done it all year. The talent just took over and got them a bit ahead of schedule, even without Chet.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Good grief...Thibs going timeout crazy.
Almost halfway thru the 3rd qtr....and only gonna have 2 left for the rest of the way now.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

All tied up after 3.
76-76.

No Randle apparently either.
I held out hope he'd be good to go for the 4th.....but it's not looking good.

Julius Randle limps off as Knicks have new injury concern

Jalen Brunson was back on the court, but Julius Randle limped gingerly to the locker room with an ankle injury late in the first half of Wednesday’s game against the Heat.

Ok I have figured it out, the league has promised the Thunder Wembenman if they let the Lakers make the playoffs. I can live with that.
