financial advice in a weird time:

-- develop a plan
-- find friends who support you
-- preferably 10 of them
-- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand
-- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos
-- get your wife back
-- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw

simple

Knicks didn't lose y'day bc of Thibs. Short-handed on a b2b vs CLE w their key guys healthy is rough. Obviously need more from KAT+Mikal as well.

But if you run 48 mins of drop, can't counter top locking, don't prioritize spacing, etc. even at full strength I don't think Thibs helps close the gap.

Don't think you can win a title if Ja is running the show

Maybe a broken ATO as Kolek tells OG to cut baseline after the inbounds to Mikal, unclear where though as Giannis is already low man and in position to tag the roller with Hart filling the opposite corner.

OG stays, so Kolek lifts instead, which creates space for Mikal to find OG for the corner 3.
March 29, 2025 at 10:42 PM
I'd be interested to see what Kolek could do running point with the good lineups rather than the ones with ISIS spacing
March 27, 2025 at 12:46 AM
I like that the Knicks have stayed at home on shooters for the most part and been willingly helping off of Dunn.

One of their most disciplined defensive halves against a quality opponent. Didn't like not switching on that last possession though.
March 27, 2025 at 12:35 AM
Wouldn't mind seeing Kolek get a chance here to close the half.

Payne has not done a good job of getting them into any offense since he came back into the game.
March 27, 2025 at 12:25 AM
Knicks were pretty lucky to survive that stretch to open the 2nd.

Honestly may have been lucky in a way that Hart picked up his 3rd so early, because not sure the spacing with him, Precious, and Mitch on the floor would've been fun for anybody.

The highest officers of the U.S. government are both incompetent and liars, who have intentionally lied to Congress to coverup their incompetence.

Two months in and Trump has turned American government into a corrupt, stinking trash can.

Kolek hasn't proven he's able to be a consistent contributor yet, obviously, but fairly confident he can help out on nights vs the bottom feeders and depleted rosters which permeate a reg season.

That helps your main rotation guys get rest and/or even bail them out on nights they don't have it!

This was very good
James Dolan has always had a frosty relationship with the NBA, but over the last two years, the tension between the NBA and the Knicks, its flagship team, has escalated to new heights, driven by Dolan against a league he seems to find persistently acting out of order.

MAJOR BREAKING: Governor JB Pritzker just revealed that during COVID, Donald Trump told him he would only send life saving equipment if he agreed to praise him on the Sunday talk shows.

Is Donald Trump evil or just completely fucking deranged?

the notion of “inherent power” is anti-republican in the lower-case r sense. runs totally counter to the notion of a divided government of enumerated powers
Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.
