LawrenceTaylor56 : 11/4/2018 2:33 pm


Couple Notes

-Looks like another week possible that Knox will be out.

-Key Matchup will be Tim (Michigan Man) Hardaway vs Beal. Beal could easily go off.

-Reason #5292 to love Fizdale

Nice post

watching Trier and Robinson so far. Can these guys be NBA starters? Admittedly I have never been a knowledgeable basketball guy.
6pm is a great start time. Looking forward to it.

I could see this game being a little chippy. Morris is a hothead and Mitch got under his skin in the preseason.

Ah you're right I forgot about that. Morris was ejected. Be curious to see if that carries over into this game.
All five starters are Knicks draft picks  
PhilSimms15 : 11/4/2018 4:58 pm : link
I cant remember the last time this happened. If the Knicks can stick to the plan, and if Dolan continues to stay away, this team is on the right track.
And, they play an exciting brand of basketball and Fiz has them playing hard for 48

Frank had an open lane it looked like and instead was hesitant and kicked it out to Dotson. Would have loved to see Frank finish there.

Question:  
Anakim : 11/4/2018 6:29 pm : link
Do we have Cleveland's second round pick in 2019?


New York Knickerbockers President Phil Jackson announced today that the team has acquired forward Lou Amundson, center Alex Kirk and a 2019 second-round draft choice from Cleveland and forward Lance Thomas from Oklahoma City as part of a three-team trade.
Guards Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith were sent from New York to Cleveland and guard Dion Waiters from Cleveland to Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City also sent Cleveland a future first-round draft choice. In addition, center Samuel Dalembert has been waived.
"As our journey moves through this season, we will search for the type of players that fit the style we hope to exhibit for our fans. Our desire is to improve our ability to compete," Jackson said. "In addition, these transactions improve our flexibility to the current roster and the salary cap for future seasons."


Holy fluck. Talk about a late first rounder!
this feels like a high level AAU showcase

Tim Hardaway is now shooting 1-for-7. He's in the top-10 in field goal attempts in the NBA but has the worst shooting percentage in that group.
You wonder why the league scoring is so high?  
PhiPsi125 : 11/4/2018 7:01 pm : link
Its because you arent allowed to play defense anymore.

Hes got a nice shot and seems to have solid court awareness. Obviously you dont want him playing big minutes, especially on a good team, but he could be a spark off the bench. Hell never be a defender so just block that out of your mind.

it shows how much they need Hardaway's scoring. I have been surprised how little Dotson has played down the stretch. He seemed to be playing well.
40 free throws to 16

All in all a productive first 10 games.  
bceagle05 : 11/4/2018 8:31 pm : link
3-7 puts us on a 25-win pace, and we're still playing competitively and developing some talented young guys along the way.

I'm a Frank fan, but given the emergence of Trier AND Dotson, I would not view him as some untouchable player if we were offered good value for him.

But Frank is a PG. Neither Trier and Dotson are.

I disagree completely with Frank being expendable.  
JustaDiscussion : 11/4/2018 9:02 pm : link
I don't think he'll ever become some great point guard, though I hope I'm wrong. Also, he absolutely needs to get more consistent with his three point shot, but he's only 20. I agree that if he doesn't develop a consistent three by the end of his current contract then maybe the Knicks look for someone better, but claiming he is expendable now seems to completely discount his defense.

If Fizdale keeps with his plan of trying different lineup combinations for five game stints next game should see another shuffle.
Frank will have 15 and 5 tomorrow  
bceagle05 : 11/4/2018 9:19 pm : link
and I'll be right back on the bandwagon. However, his handle OR his shot has to improve significantly. Preferably both, but at least one of them.

Knox, KP and Robinson will have big roles in the front court, and the Knicks will have a top five pick and max space to add to the back court. Trier and Dotson are carving out roles. For better or worse, Timmy will be here and playing through the end of next year. Frank will have to keep up with the Joneses.
I dont watch Knicks games down here in Dallas but  
Rick in Dallas : 11/5/2018 6:20 am : link
I see a lot of comments on Franks offensive game. My question is was he drafted to be a defensive PG who dishes out assists? He is very young maybe his offense improves. Would love to see the Knicks start winning again.
Didn't understand taking Kanter out of the game midway through the 4th  
TheMick7 : 11/5/2018 7:05 am : link
quarter. He was the only physical presence they had inside & shortly after he was taken out,the game got away from the Knicks!
