-It was one game but Mudiay was very, very impressive! I'm not saying he's a future star but he looked smooth and overall a very nice debut.
-THjr... 29 minutes 1 rebound?
-Frank looked solid along side Mudiay
-The Knicks are going to lose many games
Not athletic enough? Seriously?
And not big enough to guard the 4? C'mon he is 6 foot 7 230 pounds I thi nk he can handle himself in today's nba
Just because he can jump doesn't mean he can stay in front of a quality NBA 3 when he has to guard them on the perimeter. Look around the NBA... there aren't many teams playing 6-7 4's the majority of the time. You might end up being right and I might be wrong. I'm just not willing to bet a vitally important lottery pick on Miles Bridges doing that.

should be released to join a playoff team. Mentor? Please. He's done he's job. Howard Eisley and Hornacek can handle this.
Why release him now? He might as well ride the bench while teaching up the new guy and helping Frank adjust to getting more playing time.
Because the moron coach will likely be tempted to play him if they struggle and the roster spot might be better served cycling in some younger options.

Well, I'd give him the choice. Ride the bench and mentor the kids or we can release you and you can try and catch on somewhere else, perhaps as a bench guy on a playoff team.
I don't see him as a guy that might be poisonous to the locker room, so there's little risk from him.
You're right to worry about Hornacek, though. But, I suspect he's been his given marching orders.

Doesn't he start at the 3 in college?
Last 5 games, he's 10 for 24 from the three--.417
I hate trying to project Kentucky players because calipari has guys play a certain role and that is it...
Look at Kat, nobody knew he had range because he never.showed it in college...
Who gives a shit?
So first sub is Lee for hardaway...
Frank comes in for jack
2nd quarter mudiay in for Frank and hardaway in for lance...
Calling it now this is how the subs go
Again, Perry/Mills need to go to him that his job depends on the development of young players.
We should be seeing very little of Lance Thomas, Courtney Lee, Jarret Jack, Michael Beasley and Kyle O'Quinn.
About fucking time! We need Lance to develop. He won't become an all-star by sitting on the damn bench.
Is it cause they feel they don't have what it takes "between the ears" to be more successful? I think the same could be said for Mudiay..
They traded him to make room for LeBron and bosh
Quote:
Miami gave up on Beasley SO quickly the first time. Sent him to the Wolves for a 2011 and 2014 2nd, 2 years into his career (and he was productive in Miami too)
They traded him to make room for LeBron and bosh
Still they got "nothing"

I don't think they wanted anything..
And let's be honest spoelstra makes Riley look very good as an exec
Unbelievable how moronic this coach is...
Claims changes will come after all star break, make changes now, jack does nothing on the court...
Last night with mudiay and Frank in the game the Knicks outscored the pavers 43 34
And hornacek can not bench Jarrett freaking jack or lance Thomas?
As for Lance, I give up. He does not belong in an NBA rotation, much less a starting lineup. If we build a playoff team in the next few years, I will refer to the period preceding it as a the "Lance Thomas Years," much the same way Yankee fans have the "Horace Clark Years."

How much you want to bet we don't see mudiay and Frank together tonight?
You know it is funny, I used to hate Jared jefferies but he waa actually a good defender...
What does lance Thomas do to deserve minutes? I honestly would love for hornacek to explain this and don't tell me he is a good defender..
He was horrendous offensively but at least he gave you something defensively
You know why I hate lance more? Because at least with jefferies he knew he sucked on offense and didn't try to do more...
Lance thinks he is a good offensive player taking wild runners and looking off better shooters for his own shot..
I can't stand when he gets the ball and instead of swinging it he pump fakes and tries to drive..

adding anything positive. I HATED Jeffries as a player.

Ok fine, I'll accept this.
I hated Jeffries so much. I have never seen a guy as big as he is NEVER finish around the rim. He was brutal.
He always tried to find the open guy or set a pick for a scorer, he was not afraid to be the scrappy player on the court..
Lance Thomas thinks he is a good player, dude switches on everything, horrible rebounder, and if he is open he is taking the shot, he is not looking for the open guy..
Instead of setting a pick for a scorer he will come over and ask for the ball then fake giving it back and drive...
If they gave the fans one vote on who to cut from your favorite team I am pretty sure lance would be a unanimous vote

OQuinn
Thomas
Hardaway
Jack
