Knicks versus Pelicans

[trendsetta]

Q1

Adams is a beast. Boy Barrett has a smooth stroke. I don’t see the fuss about Brandon Ingram TBO. Only 6 minutes in but still.

Geezus Noel has a hand injury.

See RJ at 3:03? That’s big time guys. And now a corner three that he had to gather off a crappy EQ pass. Again that’s big time. Doris giving him some sunshine.

Bullock goes to bench as Mr. Invisible.

Rose with a stupid pass overthrown to EQ. Pels score a three. 5 point swing🤨

Q2

Doris has now twice cited DRPM on Randle who leads all power forwards.

Ball alley oops to Zion timeout Knicks.

Randle is so good at creating contact in the midrange. Rose and Bullock helping the 17-2 run. Good on them both!

Zion outmuscled Randle for an O bound. Don’t see that too often.

Ok with 5 minutes to go Randle takes that bad shot I’ve been on his case about, ie going to his right and towards the right baseline and not planting his right leg. It looks like he’s just throwing it up there.

OMG Zion.

Randle at 2:37 draws a foul on Zion. He’s gotta keep doing that. That’s part of the game within the game.

Randle at 1:05 with a much better attempt on the right side and going right. compared with the one he took at the 5 minute mark. His feet were set.

The "fuss" about Brandon Ingram is 24 PPG over the last two seasons plus 5 boards and 5 assists while shooting 46% from the field and 38% from the 3 point line. And he's just 23 years old. Not likely to be traded but would fit in perfect with Randle in the front court and RJ at SG. Of course the better plan is wait till the summer of '22 and sign Beal moving RJ to SF.

Q3

My god the Knicks come out unfocused.

Doris: Knicks are a step slow and casual.

Bullock finally making an impact on a Knicks game.

Knicks way too many turnovers and way too few free throws.

Great move by RJ at 1:32!!!

Gibson’s floor impact has been terrific.

And we’re tied 😔

Q4

5:20 left Randle again shoots right baseline with feet properly planted.

Uh oh RJ fouls out. This game is slipping away.

Rose with a big 3!!!

BULLOCK BULLOCK BULLOCK

OT

Randle making others around him better.

Bullock Bullock and Bullock!!!

Hahahahaha Nerlens Noel with a great block.

Randle CLUUUTTTTCCCH.

Knicks are no longer hapless!!!

Come on Frank that’s a bad foul.

Wow we pulled it out on a very uneven afternoon. But nice to see us beating teams with fewer wins than us. That’s what above average teams do.

ZION IN THE GARDEN

Williamson played at MSG while at Duke but never got the chance as a rookie, as the overall No. 1 draft pick was still injured when the Pelicans visited last season.

"I love this atmosphere," he said with a smile. "Whether they're cheering for you or whether they're booing for you, it's amazing. Honestly I think outside of New Orleans obviously, I think this might be my favorite place to play."

The words do it no justice. It wasn't what he said, it's how he said it. Lol here's the video after today's game:
