@Captain2Corner Not exactly the hill I would wanna die on. There's unwritten rules in this world that need no explanation - it shouldn't be hard to know the difference between sunflower seeds and a lollipop in the middle of a baseball game. One is acceptable, the other isn't.

@lawyer_humor So...deceit is your cornerstone?

@ZaidJilani It feels like the near future outcome of all this is that the incumbents will point to this behavior as the reason for not wanting to hire new grads. Around and around we go and still back at square one.

“Yo, I love this team

We can do something with this”

— Derrick Rose on trade to Knicks

First deadline move Leon Rose made

Was Derrick Rose 2021

Quickly played a huge role

In Knicks first playoffs 8 years

Then in twilight of his career

Stayed here 2 more seasons

Mentoring young guys

Like Deuce & Mitch

And earlier KAT in Minnesota.

And he was here

When Jalen Brunson arrived

JB: "He's been a great mentor to me

Unbelievable teammate

Unbelievable friend"

First JB was a kid in Chicago

Rebounding for his dad's star

“Seeing how great players work

No one's watching

I'm thinking 'I need to work harder'"

Then Jalen's in the NBA

And D Rose is cooking him

While telling him

"Keep fighting"

Then teammates in New York

JB: “A leader leads every single day

And he reminds me

I look at him

He looks at me

And it’s kind of an unspoken thing

We know what we got to do”

D Rose: "JB is a dog

The way he play

It's like a Chicago way

I'm in awe almost every night"

Today they're friends

"Can't wait to chop it up at the Shore"

D Rose posted the other day.

Derrick is Chicago

And Chicago is him

But there's always

A special place in the Garden

For this Rose

Jalen Brunson’s and Josh Hart’s first pitches vs Victor Wembanyama’s 😭

[fixthebaseballs @sports4casuals]

People mad this when Wemby:

- Threw Jalen Brunson’s 61 point ball in the stands
- Went on Live TV during the NBA Cup and said the Knicks don’t play “sophisticated” basketball like the Heat and Thunder (lol)
- Grabbed him by the back of the neck and shoved him
- Stuck his foot in his landing zone
- Didn’t credit the Knicks for a single win said he just needs to play “normal”
- Didn’t shake anyone’s hand

#FUCKWEMBY

[Shaun Morash @ShaunMorash]

This angle is still really bad he’s still stomping and just misses. I’m confused why many keep bringing up this angle like it helps Wemby’s cause

Again what is he doing? Nobody walks and stomps their leg down like that

[pete @peterjohn]

@sportyspicce Nope - JB actually increased our chances by taking a quick shot there.

[Elliot Steinmetz @elliotsteinmetz]

This Jalen shot is getting a lot of criticism. Here’s why I like it:

1. It’s our best guy in rhythm, with confidence. If we lose and he took the last shot on a clean look, it’s hard to second-guess.

2. Time and score. Down 1 with 5 seconds left your only chance for 2 scoring opportunities is a quick shot. He sees daylight and pulls. If he dribbles into a tough, contested jumper there is no second opportunity and it’s a lower percentage look.

3. The Double Team. He drew 2 and pulled before they got to him. It leaves the rebounding situation at a 4-3 Knicks advantage. But even more than that…

4. Wemby’s Positioning. Brunson has Wemby all the way outside the arc and makes him irrelevant for the rebound. The 4-3 rebounding advantage becomes even bigger when your only size is out guarding the smallest guy on the court.

It’s all about percentages and opportunities.

Brunson takes a clean look (albeit deep) 3, stepping into it - I like that shot. More importantly, he takes it with 4 seconds left, leaving enough time for a second shot if they can get a rebound or a tip. Boosting their percentage of success is the double team involving Wemby outside the arc, leaving the Spurs undermanned and undersized when OG comes flying through the lane uncontested.

Go Knicks.
