Porzingis certainly didn't have any conditioning issues late in Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.
With five minutes to play in the fourth quarter, he gathered the ball at the top of the key, pumped-faked, took two dribbles to get around Nerlens Noel and threw down an uncontested dunk. You can watch the play here.
The dunk was Porzingis final basket of the night, leaving him with 17 points to go along with 10 rebounds. He has nine double-doubles in 19 games -- the sixth-highest total in the NBA.
Hes been pretty good, Knicks guard Jose Calderon said with a grin.

I'm trying to figure out how good the Warriors would be without Curry.
I just said it on the game thread -- he closed he statistical gap on KAT. PER, WS48, PPG, RPG, BPG -- they're pretty even right now.
PORZINGIS
2016 Steph Curry is the closest thing the NBA has ever seen to a basketball Gretzky. He's unreal.
I want him to work on the one dribble pull up, jab step and shoot and his post game...
Melo is great at creating space for himself so i hope those 2 work together and Melo shows him a coupleof things to add...
They would be an average team....It depends who the PG would be rather than Curry...
You are basically taking their leading scorer off their team, so it depends what you think of Thompson and Barnes..
Those 2 would be the ones to step up in shots and scoring oppurtunities...
I dont think they would suck...

In my opinion, Jordan's 2 seasons back to back from 86-88 of averaging 37-5-5 and 35-6-5 were the single two best seasons in NBA history and it's not close. Let's see what Curry finishes up with this season...
Thompson/Rush
Barnes/Iguodola
Green/Speights
Bogut/ezeli
They could compete in the east for a 5th or 6th seed...
I think Curry is so good it is kind of diminishing how good Thompson and Green are...
West has 6 teams over .500
Biggest surprises:
Rookie class has done quite well. Towns, Okafor, Mudiday, Porzingis have been better than expected.
Rick Carlisle remains the 2nd best coach in the NBA. No way Dallas should be this good.
Curry is in another stratosphere.
Paul George is back and dominating.
Drummond may have claimed best center in NBA.
Biggest disappointments:
Pelicans have been a disaster
Rockets/Wizards/Bucks have taken major step backs
Rose has been awful
Harden, Davis, Lillard are putting up points, but not good percentages for them.
Minnesota hasnt taken the step they were suppose too.
Iverson did it in back to back years
2000-01 he averaged 31 5 and 4 and 3 steals
in the following year he averaged 31 6 and 5 and 3 steals...
Thompson/Rush
Barnes/Iguodola
Green/Speights
Bogut/ezeli
They could compete in the east for a 5th or 6th seed...
I think Curry is so good it is kind of diminishing how good Thompson and Green are...
Yeah, that maybe. They would be a good, but not great team. I just was thinking about it because it reminded me of when Jordan left the Bulls and they were pretty good but not great. Where would the Warriors be? They certainly would have to play VERY differently than they do. And without Curry to play off of, I wonder how successful Thompson and Green would be.
I hope it doesn't happen, because I love Steph Curry. He's just so great.
No they couldnt. When healthy, no one is beating Cleveland in the east.
You will have to battle chicago for him. I heard they are enamored with him.
Wow. Interesting. Miami would have to match that, though.

No harm in trying. Maybe you get lucky and sell the guy on an expanded role/young co-star vs. the aging Heat? I just think it's an avenue we haven't really discussed but KP/Whiteside could be DEATH to other teams and Melo would have less defensive pressure on him with 2 7 foot monsters behind him.
Good call, those Iverson years were just filthy, all time great.
32 6 and 7 just insane...
almost the whole league could use a guy like him...and nearly every team is going to have max level cap space.

Without Curry, I dont think the Warriors are bad, but I'd guess they're no better than the 6 seed in the West. I really believe that the difference between great and ok teams in the NBA really is one or two players. You get into trouble when you dont have guys to play the right roles, so other guys have to punch above their weight. Curry leading that offense and being "the guy" lets other guys not shoulder that burden. If Green and Thompson had to be the big dogs, I think holes in their game would be exposed a lot more.

Absolutely. I don't mean to crap on Iverson - he was great (although as a UConn/Knicks fan I wasn't a big supporter of him). I just want to put Curry's incredible efficiency in perspective. From the counting stats, their performances look similar but Curry is just so much more efficient than any other player playing his position now... and maybe ever.
The Sixers are complete garbage. Nerlens Noel looks terrible to me. I don't see how the sixers rebuild will work. It's such a toxic environment to be that bad of an NBA team.
so they're just magically adding him to their roster without giving up anyone important from it?

Didn't say that. But they have 4 first round picks in the upcoming draft, including Brooklyn's unprotected lottery. You think the Knicks wouldn't think hard on that?
This is def the opposite of what usually happens for the knicks. I guess we were due to get lucky. I mean KP skill set is incredible. You can see how good of a passer he is as well.

No I dont, i dont think Phil regresses more and starts trading pieces off to ge tmore draft picks...
He has his future star and current star and now he is going to build around them through free agency...
Melo's contract doe snot hurt their flexibility there is really no reason for the Knicks to trade him..
the Brooklyn pick is an exciting asset but most of their other incoming picks have all kinds of protections on them which decrease their value - as we saw this past draft when Charlotte wouldn't accept their trade-up offer. Boston's roster has some nice players but it's lacking star potential. Their best asset is the coach. Regardless, Melo has a no-trade and there's very little chance he waives it to go to Boston.
They started regressing last year when they traded Knight away which was Dumb...i still dont understand that trade...

Not sure why you're down on Minny. 8-10 is pretty good when your three best players are 20 years old. I like their trajectory. And I think they're really smart to have guys like KG, Martin, and Miller there to mold these kids. Vets can really help kids learn the way, and the teams like Philly to go vet free I think are making a HUGE mistake in terms of player development.

Ive seen Mudiday play a few times and came across impressed. He has game and belongs in the league. Denver has been ravished by injuries. They arent very good, so he forces more than he probably should. But I think he can be pretty good. And plus he is only 19.

long before this Robin Lopez contract starts to be called really bad? 5/6 in 22 minutes last night.

True, but he isn't even cracking 20 MPG some games. That's concerning.
The minute he signed it. But its not atrocious and he definitely serves a purpose. Big guys all are over paid. They could move it if they had to.
Lopez played well last night.
Its weird. The big thing with Lopez is the word that he's injured. We have no idea what it is, but he says it is "nothing serious". But that was like a month ago, so who knows.
He is driving a lot of good defensive outcomes. But he's been worse than any prior season. If he continues to play like this thru 50 games, contract looks bad. For the time being, I want to believe it is just adjustment/role definition issues or injury or fluke. Injury aside, he game shouldnt fall off a cliff at age 28, especially when he has had success in multiple cities.
He usually goes small with lance thomas or comes back with Seraphin...

Im not down on him, though guys with broken, ineffective shots often never resolve that. However, my point was more that I think listing him with the 3 bigs as impressing or being better than expected I think is an odd. IMO he hasnt been one of the 4 standout rookies. That's all. Not a statement about his potential at all.
He usually goes small with lance thomas or comes back with Seraphin...
Fisher I think doesnt love lesser-athletes at the big. KOQ isnt getting run either.
Re Lopez, he's a role player. There is always a risk in paying role players real money. Some of his struggles on offense IMO have to do with him not playing an appropriate role. With KP more on the perimeter, Melo and Afflalo doing mostly jumpers, Lopez is pressing a little too much to be the post scorer. Trying too many fancy moves down low, and too many runners.
and now Fisher is going small...
They are posting him up in the middle of the triangle and expecting him to hit cutters or find the open shooter and that is not his game..
he should be on the weakside....
The defensive +/- for him isn't all that great.

His AST% is way up from past years so at the very least he's doing more with these increased opportunities.
So yeah, Lopez was a great value to the Blazers at 6 M per. He's less great now but he's still a valuable player who does all the little things.
My main beef with him is that when he's in the post there are times when he's supposed to shoot. I hate it when that happens.
Check out this sweet pass from Porzingis to Lopez, though. - ( New Window )

Right. I think the answer is a lot more likely to be that we need to stop using him that way, rather than expect it to start working. Which means that KP or Melo needs to start working more out of the post, and/or we need to admit that we dont have the personnel to run an offense through a post/high post big.
He wasnt maxed. I think his contract will basically be role player level again next season. The cap growth is ridiculous.
He's the kind of player I usually think "meh, great college player but not athletic enough". But the more I watch him the more I like him.

That is decidedly not star money -- max is 25%, 30%, or 35% of the cap based on experience (upto 6 years, 7-9 years, 10+ years, respectively). I find it really hard to wrap my mind around the cap explosion. But to put Lopez's 12-15% of cap usage into 2014-15 terms, off a $63 million cap, it's like Lopez is a $9.5 million player next year, and $7.5 million the following year. Decidedly middle class.
BTW, that cap jump to 108 million next year and seniority issue is why I think Durant takes a 2 year deal with a player option. At middle seniority off an 89 million cap, he can get a deal that starts at $27 million (30% of $89mm) with 7.5% raises. If his long term deal starts a year later, it's $38 million (35% of $108 million) with 7.5% raises. Difference is YUGE.

Jimmer and Eary were awful from what i saw yesterday and that was pretty much the entire game...
they both just chucked the entire game, Early looked like he had no desire to be there...
I liked Atkins...
Trice i was a little dissappointed in, i wanted to see him run the offense especially with 2 scorers next to him, i wanted to see him set those guys up and he did not do that, he took to many contested shots for my liking...
Point guards need to start to realize with the Knicks you have 2 guys maybe 3 with afflalo that are scorers and you can really rack up the assists if you look to run the offense and set them up for easy looks...
I was dissapointed really in the whole product, i did not go in with high expectations but guys are so selfish in the D league instead of carving out a niche and showing that you can become a role player, players think they can still be stars and just chuck up a bunch of shots thinking if they score a lot they are going to get claled up...no teams ar elooking for role players not superstars....
Early and Fredette i wanted to see them take over, especially Early, i wanted to see the offense run through him, but all he did was take wild layups and made dumb decisions...
Was hoping for him to be posterized by KP on a patented putback while Bargnani is doing his patented "stare off into space while the ball is coming off the rim". Oh well.
Dan - a lot of what you're saying about Valentine would also apply to Brogdon, I think. Very similar players in a lot of ways - about the same size, average athletes but strong and smooth with a big wingspan and hard-nosed defense. Valentine's been a better shooter in the past, but so far this year Brogs is shooting well (41% on threes right now).

Not sure. But I also think that scouting plays a big part in it. A lot of these guys dont get drafted high/at all, so when they fail it doesnt seem like a bust. The ones who do get drafted high are probably better athletes than the popular discussion would indicate.

It's funny as I said I generally am all about the athletic freaks with upside but as Jon noted the guys who put up numbers but aren't "great" athletes often surprise. Roy and Lillard for example. I admittedly haven't seen Brogdon (I only noticed Valentine because for some reason 2 games in one week were on when I was at the gym). But as I get older I really notice the guys who play the game with high IQ. I'm not a stuffy old man, I don't have any issue with showboating or simply being a beast who over powers you but watching Valentine was sort of like a throw back. You can tell he legit doesn't care about his numbers offensively which is why his numbers are so impressive. I realize odds are he won't be a Knick but I really love his game from what I've seen. I'll keep an eye out for Brogdon. We discussed Simmons the other day and Simmons does a lot of the little things AND is a freakazoid athlete. Quite a combo.

You know what? If Curry did miss time, I wouldn't be shocked if the Warriors played Green at point, or at least had him run the offense from the 3 or 4. It's no accident that he leads the team in assists.
I'm not so sure that's true. He moves his feet really well, evades screens, makes on ball steals in addition to playing the passing lanes, contests shots, and seldom is abused or even exploited defensively.
Damn!
It's gonna be a lot of fun watching that guy develop. Good on you Knicks fans.

See... the more I watch a guy like Draymond Green play, the more I come to notice and appreciate all these subtleties that elevate your team from good to great and great to dominant. For example: I can't claim to know shit about screens, and even I can appreciate how awesome Green's screens are compared to others. He doesn't just stand in the way, he times it perfectly and turns his body in a way, maximizes how difficult it will be for the defender to get around, and in several occasions, forces the defender to maneuver in such a way that he gets in the way of another defender! It's awesome.

KP has really great hands. Noel reaches in there to poke the ball out and he instinctively pulls it back to protect it and continues his dribble and gets the easy dunk.
Noel is a good defensive big when he wants to be, but honestly, that was lazy defense. He goes for the steal, stops moving his feet and watches KP go to the rim.
If that slug played and got shit pushed by Porzingas the universe would big bang itself again. There would simply be nothing left for the human race to accomplish.
