No Gary? Is that a loss?

Who you think you're fooling, All Eyes. We will see and hear from you in a little while with one of your eyes open, watching the game.  :)

Paolo won't be back until late January. Franz won't be back until the first week in March. That's just the reality of the situation. Certainly not falling for that "he's close to returning" schtick any longer. With that said, and now with Jalen out for a bit of time (probably longer than normally expected as well) I think we may be about to embark on a rather long losing streak. The schedule coming up is going to be very difficult and we will continue to launch ill-advised 3's. There will be no true ball movement. It will be chaotic sloppy basketball. That is until they finally allow some of these guys to return from injuries. Will probably be something like a 6 or 7 game losing streak, or 6 out of 7 losses. That will put us somewhere around 500 at that point. And more than likely still no Paolo. Oh well. It is what it is. Just have to fight our way through it and try to stay positive.

We are certainly looking at a stretch of games that is likely going to knock us down to .500. Good news is once we make it through the next 7 we have the easiest remaining schedule in the league.

Knicks shooting 50 percent so far. We are shooting 27 percent. Only 6 points through half a quarter. We may not reach 70 points tonight. Just don't have what's necessary to get it done with the players available to play. Think I may duck out early like All Eyes did. No sense watching until players are allowed to return from injury.

[TrueMagicFan07 688]

The game is close right now. So keep it close fellas. Don't let it get away from us. That goes for Mosley's rotations too.

 

Edit: Mosley cannot afford to be experimenting, even if some players who are playing well right now have to play 32 minutes.

I wouldn't bet on it. I would be very surprised if that were the case. (Pleasantly surprised).

[MagicOne 144]

Ok so I couldn't fully walk away from the game. Lol. And surprisingly we are hanging in there. Would be nice to have a lead at halftime. Or at worst be down by no more than 5 or 6 points. Just keep it close. Have to withstand the Brunson barrages.

I try to get out and they pull me back in! lol. Solid half, especially considering the circumstances. I’d love to beat this team of unlikeables
