Projected Starters
Mudiay-THJ-Hezonja-Vonleh-Kanter
vs
Sexton-Burks-Hood-Osman-Nance
I don't see how the Knicks could lose this one tonight. I don't think there is one person on the Cavs roster who can bully Kanter down low on either end of the court.
Couple Notes
Courtney Lee:
Sent down to the G League yesterday. 16 points. 1-9 from the 3. 7 rebounds. 3 assists. Not a great stat line against G-leaguers for possible trade bait on an immediate return.
On Frank Ntilikina:
| .@TheSteinLine says in his recent newsletter that his sense is that the Knicks are NOT actively looking to find a new home for Ntilikina. He notes the Knicks could field calls from teams interested in the Frenchman, but there is a difference between listening and shopping |
Allonzo Trier:
Out the entire road trip with a strained groin. Expect to see him back December 17th against the Suns. Knicks will not have to make a move until he comes back which is when his 2-way contract expires.
Kevin Knox:
@StevePopper
Fizdale said he is debating a lineup change. Sounds like Knox could be back in for Hezonja. |

Asked David Fizdale about Damyean Dotson today. He gave a rave review:
"Im so happy for him. Everything about him, he is really a guy that I can see growing in our environment here. All of his intangibles are what we look for in guys." #Knicks
Detroit and Sac match up well for a Hardaway trade. Pistons owner is very motivated to get back in the playoffs and I believe his dad coached there. Make it happen Perry.
Lets hopr he starts and he starts for the rest of the year...
really excited to see when kp comes back him playing with knox and vonleh, and robinson in spurts...
i think vonleh is a great match with kp
Robinson
Vonleh
Knox
Dotson
Frank
Will hopefully be the lineup towards the trade deadline and until KP returns
Kids getting playing time and tank in full force
It amuses me that people always assume that others are being devious or scheming in some way. In this instance it is much more likely, at least in my opinion, that Trier actually has an injury. Even if the Knicks have a trade lined up for after the 15th, it doesn't benefit Trier to sit out with a fake injury instead of getting playing time in the g-league. I could very well be wrong, but if I am I will lose even more respect for this front office.
If it was a true meritocracy, Timmy would be due for some DNPs. He's been garbage.
Score 39 points.
In the first quarter.
oh by the way mudiay 15 7 and 7
you never let time expire down 1
how does a known dirty player get the benefit of the doubt?

Why the hell would Mudiay put up a shot in that situation? You're down one. You have the final possession....
you never let time expire down 1
Ummm. why not? You score and then the Cavs have the final shot and can put the game to bed.
That was really good defense and a great shot.
I thought it was a good no call on Mudiay. He needs to get a better shot there.
