Regarding the play of the day, the off ball movement caught my eye as well. The most exceptional to me was Randle resetting to the 3 pt line after the pass to Hart. If I were 6’8” 250, I would have parked my ass there for an offensive rebound, and I would have ruined the play. DDV sprinting from the paint to the 3 pt line was also remarkable.

"For one, the 10 teams above averaged 54 wins and none finished with fewer than 49 wins"

Somewhere, Robert Cross is smiling. The 7 Levels of Randle are a great idea, may I propose calling it RANDCON?

Can we do RANCON? Rolls off the tongue a bit better.

There was a report (I think in the Post by Bondy) that RJ is still feeling the effects of his illness/migraine

The headline was a bit deceptive. I think it was more that he’s trying to get his game back after the migraine, not that he’s still feeling migraine symptoms.

Good point. It’s more like he feels like he’s not in rhythm.

Didn't realize how good that Nova + Randle + Mitch lineup is playing. Should be even better when Randle's three-point shooting levels out

Grimes has turned into this year’s Obi. Lost his way and confidence and too contempt to pass the ball off as soon as he catches it. Good to see him show some shines of shaking that passive mindset.

Gotta feel good about 12-7. Looking around the league, you've got two teams (Boston and Minnesota) with only 4 loses. Everybody else has 6 or more. The talent in the league is such that there's very little room for an off night, but off nights happen.

(Next time the team struggles overall and Brunson somehow wills them to victory, I'm going to dust off the old Cellino & Barnes commercials -- "Jalen Brunson: Because sometimes off nights happen.")

Man, for my first firm, I had to deal with some truly dogshit cases that C & B rejected and ended up on my desk.

Thinking about this In Season Tournament scheduling. It’s completely wild that the Knicks are flying to Milwaukee today NOT KNOWING whether or not they have a road back to back, are flying to NY only to then fly out to Boston for a Friday game, or flying directly to Vegas.

They won’t know if they’re playing the very next night in a different city until the second Tuesday’s game ends.
