Knox doesn't play defense aggressively enough to have four fouls midway through the third quarter. Garbage officiating. Too bad because one of those Summer League hot streaks was brewing.
I hope his percentage remains respectable going forward. If it does though, he and THjr have to stop with their heat checks after they make a few shots. Heat checks drive me nuts.
I like that they moved Frank off of the ball and put Burke back in the rotation. It's almost like Fiz reads BBI. Though I'd have played Mario and left Kanter on the Bench, but I know that'll never happen.
Robinson is fun to watch. I definitely prefer his style over Kanter's but never thought he'd overtake him so quickly. Not completely embarrassing himself against AD is not something I would have expected after watching summer league. Mitch still needs to build strength, polish his offensive game, and catch and hold onto the ball better, but he's proving people wrong who thought he was too raw for nba level games.

I haven't seen it with Mario. Kanter is who he is but you get a certain amount of production from him. Plus, you need big men. The Knicks need another big man badly right now, and someone meeting KP's description would really fill the bill. Will be interesting to see what happens if/when KP returns this year.
Kanter doesnt play better D they desperately could have used his rebounding down the stretch. They gave up far too many second chance baskets and it killed them.
Yep, I am paying attention every few days to that site but we are 2 ahead in the win column. That is tough to overcome. I'm also assuming there is no difference between the bottom three teams in terms of chances of getting the top pick so we are almost there.
Also, you guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment. KP is going to come back and play some games. Id guess hes gonna play somewhere around 30-35 games. We are probably gonna win some of those. We will prob end up with like the 6th/7th worst record, IMO.
Garland looks impressive, but probably a tier below the
elite PG prospects like Wall and Rose. Doesnt mean he wont be more of a winning player, but skill/explosiveness-wise hes closer to Lillard/Walker.
At least point we are still bad enough that we have to draft the BPA regardless of position. This just might be our lucky year and we get our hands on Zion.
like to shit on Burke. Look at his offensive numbers last year great shooting percent and great assist to turnover rate. What else do you want off the bench?

This. On the surface, tanking for a higher pick sounds great. The problem is if KP does indeed come back and they still end up with a top 3 pick, that likely means that the young guys, including KP, havent developed the way we hope they will. In real time as these games are playing out, if they are still getting their asses kicked when KP comes back, its not going to be as easy to stomach as people think. Great, we have a top pick. But we would have to be very worried about the rest of this team moving forward.

not necassarily, you have to learn how to win in this league, even kp still has to learn how to be a closer. you cant just dump the ball to him and say go to work yet.

I dont think KP coming back is going to make much of a difference on the W/L for this year. Hes not going to be himself right away, hes going to have rust to work through and will most likely start on a minutes restriction.
Even if KP plays 35 games, this is probably only 25 win team this year. The only teams that are locks to have a worse record at the end of the year are Atlanta, Phoenix and Cleveland. The Knicks will probably be neck and neck with the Bulls for the 4th/5th spot.

And end up picking like 7th after the ping pong balls are drawn!
Under the new lottery rules, the team with the worst record has a 14 percent chance of picking first and a 48 percent chance of picking 5th. In other words, Knicks fans shouldnt be celebrating every loss for the tank
But that lineup doesnt have the size to finish against a team like the Pelicans. Youre talking Knox at the 4 and three guards. We need another big man in that group. KP would really help even if rusty.

Rose 17/7/5. Just give him the 6th man of the year award now.
This guy really is classless. He also acts like hes won 3 titles and MVPs. Even if hes right about the Minny guys, what leg does he have to stand on? He refused to play games when healthy. I wouldnt give this guy a major contract.
Can KP be that type of player? I"m not sure he's that good. But we could have used him tonight.
Score one for the tank!
For sure. He may be the best player in the league.

it is a process, even with kp
if you can see trier, robinson, and knox getting better each game that is all you can ask for..
Even though some moron fans are ripping him, him saying he put the rookies back in and told them win or suffer that is what you need..

This is the single greatest description of someone. Every time I see her I think this. Thanks?
Yup. KP in the lineup and wed hsve 2-3-4 more wins. But the tank stops for no one. Tank on. I think.

I remember hearing once that she was a pretty big student track and field athlete in HS and college, I doubt she even smokes.

Same. She's ruined forever for me.
Even if KP were healthy, this is a 35 win team at best.
