I’m willing to admit I was wrong about Oubre after previously being right about him and giving up on him as a bad fit. I’m thinking his game turned around when he ditched the head band.
That said, I’d still trade him for Lonzo straight up.
Oubre’s like an NFL receiver with his celebrations. I keep wondering how many unsportsmanlike flags he’d get in the NFL for taunting, and then think that’s one more reason to watch the NBA.
The first quarter both teams came out hot, the 4th quarter both teams, uh, played very staunch defense. As advertised, the Knicks are a real team and their defense was legit.
Wiggins has not had his mojo on offense lately but his defensive effort hasn't waned, so I'm not upset. Oubre has had his mojo, and I think he quite enjoyed being in an arena with fans, even if it's just a sparse crowd. Steph had a pretty average game; if the Knicks hadn't played the foul game at the end, his stats would've been pretty weak.
Aside: who even thinks it's a winning strategy to foul Steph Curry and hope he misses free throws? Thibs, please. I'd understand if guys were fouling Draymond, Looney, even Wiggins or Oubre. But Steph Curry? Really?
Anyway, felt like Kerr walked the tightrope tonight of getting Wiseman minutes, tinkering with rotations and lineups, but still coming away with the win. Hope everyone has an easy flight over to Indiana for tomorrow night's game...
If Oubre ever develops a touch around the rim, he's going to be an effortless 20ppg scorer. I don't know what it is but he somehow always finds himself near the rim which is awesome.
Loon +17. To my untrained eyes, seems like he is now erasing offball D miscues of Oubre and Wiggins - similar to Stay. I dont think that I have seen from him in previous seasons.
My main thought watching today’s game: Not a believer in non passing bigs in the modern NBA. It’s nice to see Randall progress so much at playmaking to prove it can be done.
I'm glad that the Knicks don't have a good offense to go along with their really good defense, because if they did, they would be the Utah Jazz of the east.
Steph is now 2.5 PPG behind Beal for the scoring lead. I think he can catch him.

EA, I agree w/your comment of Fitz.....but then I was spoiled by the best Basketball play by play announcer ever -- the late Bill King

OK Eric, I hear you.
Today is the last day I call JW ‘Big Jim’ in the security of my own home. Deleting it from my vocabulary.
To be fair, I only latched into Big Jim because Harden put on a few lbs and I started calling him Thick Jim...

Warriors with a PD of +4.5 since the Utah game.
Jordan’s triple doubles today 29pts 12 reb Aaand 10 TO🤪🤪🤪
Nice to get Wiseman some minutes without, you know, losing.
He's still very out of sync and his post up game is way off.
Hope he can get it rolling by playoff time.
Looney looking very smooth.
Unrelated I got this video suggested on YouTube and I've never seen anyone so happy to join a team lol

I've noticed that the Celtics are now below .500 this season far. They 2-5 in the last seven games.
I'm glad that the Knicks don't have a good offense to go along with their really good defense, because if they did, they would be the Utah Jazz of the east.
It was rough there for awhile for those of us on Oubre Island, but we've finally figured out how to make fire
