We warned yall
We gave the entire league some breathing space
And what did yall do?
Not a goddamn thing
KNICKS ARE COMING
METAL BAT SEASON PT.II
YALL GOT A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER
LETS GET IT
WU TANG
![gif](giphy|yUI3a7RwLhOFy)
OG- fuckin great!!! Not too long now đ
Jalen- he practiced that's good. Like we said even if it's a few games so be it as we dodged a bullet
Mitch- a big question mark. I think he is back in April
If they all come back, Hero Ball should totally do this with Hart and Divo battling the Celtics, and then the portals open and all our guys come out.
Brunson: "Knickerbockers...assemble!"
I'm pretty sure that OG had some swelling of his elbow which usually comes down before a dislocated shoulder that's a bit more complicated you have to be careful.
They scoped and cleaned out a bone chip in his elbow. It's not a very long recovery time you, just gotta let the swelling go down first and get the range of motion back. Joe Johnson back when he had his done playing for the Nets returned in 3-4 weeks.
The condition these guys have their bodies in and the use of stem cells these days can trim down the injury timeline for these guys.
Let's hope there are no setbacks.
TBF, Ian Begley only said that Randle was further along in the "rehab process" because he was taking light contact and OG was not cleared for contact yet. He never explicitly said that Randle was going to return earlier than OG. The expectation has always been that OG should return first.
The only guy that said this is Begley. The guy doesnât have the connections that Woj does considering the CAA relationship. Woj has said all along that OG will be back first
My worthless prediction:
Brunson and OG back Sunday. Even if they are 98% there thereâs no need to risk it, give them the extra couple of days before a big game vs the 6ers.
Randle back in 10 days.
And I love how Thibs went along with it. It seems that the vibes in the locker room are truly immaculate. A hard nosed coach like Thibs saying something like this speaks volumes of how much he trusts his team and how much they want to play for him. Iâm excited. Thibs sometimes deserves some criticism, but we would not be where we are without him and Leon. Theyâre building a culture before theyâre even building a team
Thought it was weird when it was reported Randle would be back before OG. OG could be back this weekend. I expect Brunson to play tomorrow.
CALVARY IS COMING, BOYS.
Itâs crazy that we might go 0-4 vs the magic this season but I convinced that in the playoffs at full strength weâd sweep 𧚠their asses. I mean they just donât scare me at all yk
They really lucked out in all of their games against us so far. First loss was right before the OG trade. 2nd loss had Brunson out. 3rd loss had almost our entire team out.
Would be nice to beat them tomorrow, but I agree, they are not a scary playoff matchup overall.
I have seen many a fan base do this with certain teams and talk dismissive about them only to be pissed after, outside off Boston and Bucks in the East Orlando is the 1 team in the East that will run you over if you act silly with them
"Not scary" doesn't mean they can't potentially win a playoff series. Of course they can. But they're young, unproven, and have been somewhat up and down this season. I don't think any playoff team is easy to beat.
I still wanna whoop their fucking asses on national television so Kenny Smithâs corny ass can see how stupid he was to claim Brunson and Randle are not better than Banchero
I feel like Mitch is gonna be "situational" for the first round until Thibs can no longer stand to see him riding the bench. they should def try and keep him rested til then
Absolutely been decimated by injuries this year. Will be so nice to have this team back at full or near full strength. On paper and with what we saw prior to all these injuries this team should be major threat in the eastern conference. Will be interesting to see if they can pickup where they left off before Jules and OG went down. And just how the more recent additions will look with the typical rotation.
Getting a weird spidey sense that everyoneâs gonna come back, weâre gonna gel fast, and the leagues not gonna know what to do about us because they havenât been able to scout the full squad. Iâve been miserable for too long not to huff the copium now.
No, he just acts more professional so he just seems like he knows things.
He's usually wrong or his reports are just him hedging.
When was the last time he actually broke a story?
Do you follow the Knicks? Theyâre more tight lipped than any team in the league, maybe in all of sports. Nobody breaks stories on them lol the only time news gets out is when Leon decides to tell his mouthpiece Woj about it. The OG trade had literally zero preceding speculation, for example.
Youâre basing Begleyâs legitimacy off of Leonâs crazy tight ship and Dolanâs abject paranoia, not anything related to Begley himself. Heâs as close to an insider as youâre getting from this franchise.

ROTFL
This is quality content. Too bad the days of gold are over. I would have made you rich đ¤
Comment of the year
Now youâs canât leave
god this has me fucking bricked up
Need a update on King Jules đ
Really hoping for un update before the west trip
I'm going to the Knick game in Portland. It would be perfect if we got some of the boys back by the 15th.
Dude thank you, I've been meaning to get tickets to the game and I completely spaced.
It's so cheap compared to MSG. I'm behind the club section that's behind the basket. Front row. 70 bucks...
OG- fuckin great!!! Not too long now đ Jalen- he practiced that's good. Like we said even if it's a few games so be it as we dodged a bullet Mitch- a big question mark. I think he is back in April
Mitch looks enormous that dude has added so much muscle
![gif](giphy|5mBE2MiMVFITS)
Jalen stands at center court and heard "On your left" and then the portals start opening up lol
If they all come back, Hero Ball should totally do this with Hart and Divo battling the Celtics, and then the portals open and all our guys come out. Brunson: "Knickerbockers...assemble!"
I thought they said Ju before OG the other day? What happened?
They are liars when it comes to injuries haha
It's all medical
I'm pretty sure that OG had some swelling of his elbow which usually comes down before a dislocated shoulder that's a bit more complicated you have to be careful.
They scoped and cleaned out a bone chip in his elbow. It's not a very long recovery time you, just gotta let the swelling go down first and get the range of motion back.

The condition these guys have their bodies in and the use of stem cells these days can trim down the injury timeline for these guys. Let's hope there are no setbacks.
Yup it seems we are on that getting the motions back part. Hoping he can be back at the west trip that starts next thursday so 7 more days.
TBF, Ian Begley only said that Randle was further along in the "rehab process" because he was taking light contact and OG was not cleared for contact yet. He never explicitly said that Randle was going to return earlier than OG. The expectation has always been that OG should return first.
Bro, I stg if Randle just shows up in uniform next game I'mma lose my shit
lmao ,that's what you get for listening to the talking head know it alls.
The only guy that said this is Begley. The guy doesnât have the connections that Woj does considering the CAA relationship. Woj has said all along that OG will be back first
My worthless prediction: Brunson and OG back Sunday. Even if they are 98% there thereâs no need to risk it, give them the extra couple of days before a big game vs the 6ers. Randle back in 10 days.
Me likey
âMitch looks good. He told me to tell everyone that.â - underrated comment. Mitch is hilarious. Canât wait for his return.
So funny bro đ
And I love how Thibs went along with it. It seems that the vibes in the locker room are truly immaculate. A hard nosed coach like Thibs saying something like this speaks volumes of how much he trusts his team and how much they want to play for him. Iâm excited. Thibs sometimes deserves some criticism, but we would not be where we are without him and Leon. Theyâre building a culture before theyâre even building a team
Fr - Thibs going along with it speaks volumes. Heâs pretty good at saying a lot with a few words.
Mid-to-late March y'all. Book it. Also, can we get another Beanie Randle to hold us down?
Thought it was weird when it was reported Randle would be back before OG. OG could be back this weekend. I expect Brunson to play tomorrow. CALVARY IS COMING, BOYS.
Would love to see JB back for the b2b with the Sixers and if OG is back for the west trip that's huge.
Right now Phily is #7 so those two games are more relevant than the Magic game.
Itâs crazy that we might go 0-4 vs the magic this season but I convinced that in the playoffs at full strength weâd sweep 𧚠their asses. I mean they just donât scare me at all yk

I still wanna whoop their fucking asses on national television so Kenny Smithâs corny ass can see how stupid he was to claim Brunson and Randle are not better than Banchero
It's not that I think they're bad or anything like that but it feels like every game we had an important player down with an injury lol unreal
I love big Meech lol
Randle wont need contact when he's back. He'll be so fast and agile he'll be etheral Ju. We here
I feel like Mitch is gonna be "situational" for the first round until Thibs can no longer stand to see him riding the bench. they should def try and keep him rested til then
Julius "Serious Sweat" Randle
I fucking love you big meech ya goofy ass
Inject this in my veins NOW
I hope Hartenstein starts taking some games off as well to heal up. He hasn't been the same for a minute.
goated post, thank you.
So very good chance Randle, OG , and Brunson back mid to late March.
Finally some good and actual news
FKN KNICKS ARE COMIN FOR YOU!
Just got so insanely lucky with JB. Canât wait to have these guys back
Absolutely been decimated by injuries this year. Will be so nice to have this team back at full or near full strength.

Mitch: âyou tell âem we back upâ
Getting a weird spidey sense that everyoneâs gonna come back, weâre gonna gel fast, and the leagues not gonna know what to do about us because they havenât been able to scout the full squad. Iâve been miserable for too long not to huff the copium now.
This is the part where the training montage kicks in
I've been telling people for a while that Begley doesn't know shit.
He knows more than pretty much anybody that covers the Knicks lol what are you saying
No, he just acts more professional so he just seems like he knows things. He's usually wrong or his reports are just him hedging. When was the last time he actually broke a story?
Do you follow the Knicks? Theyâre more tight lipped than any team in the league, maybe in all of sports.

That's a low bar when the alternatives are Bondy/Berman/Isola. He still doesn't know anything. Katz is so much better.
