Game Day: Knicks @ Wizards, 2/12/21

The well-rested Knicks take to Washington to face the Wizards without Bradley Beal. Can New York take care of business against a clearly inferior opponent?

Oh. The Wizz Turds are in a three-way tie for having the fewest wins in the NBA currently. Six for them, six for Minnesota and six for Detroit. Six, six, six!

No Bradley Beal for the ‘Zards, so whose demise on the rise? I ask you, in the year of the bull, who will be getting the horns?

Spankie Folks

With Derrick Rose in the mix, New York’s offense looked a little more formidable on the second line. Rose is still prone to the wild jump pass and commands the ball and a high usage, but the snap decision making, at first glance, seems to be a much better use of the minutes that Austin Rivers has vacated.

The last time we saw Frank Ntilikina go wild it was in this building, but now with the glut at the guards, it seems we may have indeed seen the last of the Frenchman. Maybe he still sneaks his way into a game and if he has a whale of a performance; maybe he can even figure out a way back into the lineup. Something tells me the time has come and gone for young maestro ₣. Something else tells me, the time has come for Elfrid Payton to get up outta here??

 
 

I dunno, friends, maybe you’s should tell it to me. Sure does sound like Ntilikina could find his way back and Payton might find his way out? The tea comes in leaves and I want a hot cuppa.

Eat Snickers, leave garbage

The Wizards are damn near the worst defensive group in the league and they are set to put Rui Hachimura on Julius Randle. Gear the fuck up, Rui. Gear, your motherfuckin ass up!

What’s goin’ down, Julius?

 
 

If I hear you slunk out, we’ll have to pull your credentials. Your honorary pair of Timbs, would be pulled off with your limbs.

Jon is uneducated. A real nobody. He left New York City for the Catskill Mountains several years ago. He has a blue dog and a red house.
