How unfair. Just as RJ Barrett gets on a roll, scoring in double digits twelve out of the last thirteen games and scoring 26 points (twenty of them in the second half + overtime) in this one, the NBA goes and postpones the season indefinitely. He was just starting to break out! The hopes of…

RJ Barrett 17 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2020)
The Knicks didn’t make their first three-pointer in this game until halfway through the third quarter when RJ Barrett (of all people) hit one. It wasn’t the most pathetic streak of misses by any stretch, just ten misses in a row to start the game, but it’s just one of many indicators that this Knicks…

RJ Barrett had such a good first quarter in this one that I’m of the opinion that he should’ve been allowed to chuck whatever shots he wanted for the whole rest of the game (and the whole rest of the season, screw it, why not????). He was beasting. He was feasting. He was throwing no-look…

RJ Barrett went 3/4 from three in this game. Considering that he’s shooting around 17% from the threezone in the month of February, the shooting performance depicted here is a sight for sore eyes. And there are no eyes sorer than those of Knicks fans right now. No amount of tears can assuage the soreness…

The play-enhancing properties of the standard-issue NBA headband are well known. Carmelo Anthony’s seminal treatise on the subject, “On The Magickal Properties Of The Headband” (not to be confused with his later work, “The Latent Power Of The Hoodie And Other Related Garments”), is well regarded in NBA circles for its thoroughness in the study…

RJ Barrett has improved his ROTY of the year candidacy by contributing directly to an unexpected Knicks victory over the Heat. He could have contributed even more by hitting more of his free throws at the end of the game, but it was still a very good game for the rookie. However, the ROTY of…

The answer to the question “Who on the Knicks will step up in the absence of Marcus Morris?”: nobody. Nobody stepped up and the result was getting drubbed by the Lakers in a game that was essentially over in the third quarter and where the Knicks went 4-of-20 from three. But rookie RJ Barrett made…

Advanced stats nerds will pull out all sorts of math-y mumbo-jumbo to try and tell unsuspecting fans that RJ Barrett isn’t a very good basketball player. That is their whole reason for existing, to “inform” people that good players are actually bad and, similarly, that bad players are actually good. They love it. It gets…
