Tomorrow we abuse Dixon by committee. Scott can definitely help. Their win over UConn was the best thing for us. More juice for the game abd we need to man handle them

Last Gabe I’ll absolutely take missing 3s for suffocating defense and inflicting our will on the boards

That’s why I love the knicks back with oak starks mason etc

We are developing an identity and I F’ing love it

Who’s your daddy

Villanova certainly has improved, it was a good win for New Yorkl.

Like my wife Zach doesn’t know his left from his right.

I believe it was the 12th of never

A few likely unpopular comments about RJ: to paraphrase the immortal words of Dennis Green, he is who we thought he was. Enormously physically talented, not especially enamored of sharing the basketball, capable of scoring and offensive rebounding as he did tonight, also capable of at least a couple of brain lock moments every game.

The most interesting thing to me tonight was that he got absolutely cooked by Wooga Poplar in the second half. I do not think that Poplar is that much more talented that he can repeatedly blow by RJ, and RJ is usually a pretty good defender.

It feels like Nova found something in the scouting report about RJ's defense that they were able to capitalize on. SJU staff needs to figure that one out.

Many turning points. This steal and bucket by Sim was huge

Great game tonight. That's the kind of heart you expect to see from a Pitino squad. #2ndYearRick

RJ lacks a bit of lateral quickness

 

[MugCostanza]

Whew, hope so. And hope it doesn't affect his shooting much

 

[espken]

Poplar almost took us to the Banco

what was up with Neptune’s timeout immediately after they made a dunk to make it 56-55

I understand what you’re saying Lawmanfan, but our most pressing issue right now is getting at least two of our three injured players back.

 

[Redmen88]

Gritty win on a big football weekend.

 

[Knight]

Very good win against a pretty good Nova team.

That’s the definition of a dislocated shoulder. I should know I’ve had 5 of them in my left shoulder. First time boxing, second time basketball, third time lifting weights, fourth time walking my dog, fifth time in my sleep. As you can tell I became more and more of an athlete the older I got.

He did get overpowered by Poplar. Perhaps if quicke and more physical Smith was not injured, he would have been assigned Poplar as RJ could not stop the ball.

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

What's the timeframe on recovery from that given how he couldn't use his right arm at all when he came back in the game

Randall never came back last year.
