Beasley is my least favorite Knick in a loooong time(non Rose edition).

Frenchie coming alive.

Which teams would want courtney lee. Would a deal to Detroit for Stanley Johnson and to match contracts either ish smith or boban, both come off the books next year so frees up cap space one year earlier than lees deal, Johnson has been abysmal offensively, but apparently a very good defender. I haven't seen him play much at all so I have no idea if there is any hope for him offensively. Maybe Detroit throws in a 2nd rounder. Orlando for hezonja and Mack. Again macks deal ends after next year so a year earlier than lee. Maybe a second rounder also. Cleveland for frye Calderon and a protected first or shump and a protected 1st Any other ideas I don't think we can expect much more than those type of deals for lee

Lee Oquinn and Chicago’s second rounder
For Mudiay Faried and Myles

.

Dammit.

Lakers best rookie. Hey Stanley!

Knicks can hold for last shot.

.

They let a lot of contact go with KP.

Amazing that the refs are allowing that.

that's the second time in the last 5 games he hasn't drawn up a single play - just give it to Kristaps for a 3. Don't know why he kept a small team on the floor with a 5 point lead. Kanter would have helped more than Beasley, who has a penchant for letting up on defense.

Awful last shot.

by Ball

Then they call that bullshit

Jesus Christ.

Then they call that bullshit

Can we play some tough interior defense please!

Could hustle play by Lee

Kanter probably hasn’t played in a while because he’s been hurt.

Gotta hit some free throws to seal it.

overcame some sloppy play, and atrocious calls by the refs

Good to see Beasley make a difference with his athleticism in OT, when they were wrestling against KP (and not getting called for it)

KP is a beast and when they finally start giving him some officiating love, he'll be unstoppable.

.

C'mon Lakers you are getting LeBron anyway

Was absolutely horrific tonight. Good lord.

Nice win by our squad. But you just can't have blatant incompetence from a ref. Horrible.

at least 3 or 4 times KP got hit while shooting - where anyone else would draw a foul - but he didn't. Don't know what the deal is with that. Do they think he's so big that he can't draw the fouls that other players do? Seems ridiculous - the fouls clearly affect his shots.

He was getting a LOT of calls earlier in the season. Probably refs overcorrecting themselves.

10-5-5, including 3-4 from 3. Looks like he’s taking his shot when available more often the last couple games

And Ball had a good one, very active down the stretch and hit some big 3s. Although the foul called against Frank that gave him the free throws to tie it was one of most ridiculous calls you’ll ever see.

I hate seeing his jackass father acting like a jackass courtside...makes it hard not to really dislike Lonzo, when he seems to be mostly out there just playing hard

.

stupid autocorrect.

Is the tap on the arm..

Meanwhile they call a phantom foul on Frank when ball just falls

Much more assertive on offense lately, and the three ball is starting to drop.

B's 220 kid wins.

Great night of winning!

Can't keep winning down. Because winning trumps all.

Gotta keep up with the Joneses ...

Congrats on B Jr!

Love all the wins tonight! The kid was an animal! So proud.

What a great night of winning!

You never think that a Tuesday would be such a huge night of victories. But holy 💩!

Wins on wins on wins on wins.

Victory!

and the horse you rode in on!

Waaaay too many laker fans.

Frank is making some strides

Since Patrick Ewing and firet PLAYER IN HISTORY to do so with 5 three pointers.

.

If it weren’t for Simmons having an absolutely brutal game, by his standards, the Sixers would be rolling.

Frank should be starting.

He had a good game tonight, but he's been coming along a bit slowly. There are some good signs there though. For now they're better off with Jack steering.

He is going to be a very fine 3-point shooter as he gets stronger. His stroke is first rate.

I haven;t changed my view that he is a three year project: two off-seasons to build his strength and athleticism to keep up with the defensive skills he already has, and the shooting that is beginning to show up. Similar path to KP, at a different position. Only after two years, he will still be a year younger than KP is now.
