Lance Thomas back from injury

Fizz. Please keep his ass on the bench
What happened with Trier?  
PhilSimms15 : 12/16/2018 3:40 pm : link
Any idea when he is back? And while on the topic, any word on when KP will be back?

Tough game today. Indy on the road will be an uphill battle.
Lance will get 32 minutes.

Would figure, after watching that Giants game.

Trier got a 2 year contract. He is expected to miss another two or three games after tonight with hamstring.
Re: KP, I don't think there's any new info  
ChaChing : 12/16/2018 4:50 pm : link
last little bit of news was when Fiz said something about him not progressing, then KP posted a vid of him sprinting

Otherwise given the team's situation they're in no rush so it very well could be next season til we see him again. That's probably best for the tank-a-thon anyway. Unless he's magically 100% like AP or Wes Welker not long ago, the only reason to bring him in this season is to ease him into live action the last 10-15 games, if anything
Tho he's come a long way under coach Bud in ATL,  
ChaChing : 12/16/2018 5:34 pm : link
THJ might be among the worst decision makers on the team. Started this game w/ 2 straight jumps in the air with nowhere to go leading to TOs. Half the time his game looks much like the Jr Knicks kids playing at half - like they're out there by themselves, no passing, no vision, just dribbling with their heads down until they throw up a shot. Amazing for the son of a former player

I don't get why he gets burn no matter how poor he shows. He needs to be treated like a streak shooter. If he makes a few let him shoot. If not, he better do something else, not just take shit shots when others are on (like EM & KK last game). And he needs to take the ball inside. Fiz doesn't hold him all that accountable for some reason, considering all the DNP-CDs he gives everyone else - especially as it's worked for them

Seems like a light has gone on just a bit in the last few games

Long way to go but nice to see. Kid has huge upside
trey burke back to chucking  
nygiants16 : 12/16/2018 5:45 pm : link
everyone else moving the ball, he comes in and starts shooting
Lance playing might help us get a better draft pick

scott foster is such a crooked piece of shit official, how he is still allowed in the nba is ridiculous
It's fun watching Kornet  
bceagle05 : 12/16/2018 6:50 pm : link
and envisioning KP getting those looks.
Thank god Trey Burke is back!

How much Kanter must we endure?

nygiants16 : 12/16/2018 7:10 pm : link

from the bottom and feeling great.

Gonna be tough to go down much further. Maybe if the Bulls figure their shit out.
Knox is playing well lately  
bceagle05 : 12/16/2018 7:25 pm : link
but the free throw line is in his head - giving away a bunch of points there.
Nets have won five straight.

I would have to think  
Dave on the UWS : 12/16/2018 7:42 pm : link
THJ and Kanter are getting so many min are for trade value purposes. Otherwise makes NO sense. They are stat ladders not team players and certainly not winners. They are not helping to develop anyone either.
Not much to comment on in this game in my opinion.  
JustaDiscussion : 12/16/2018 7:44 pm : link
The Knicks played them tough until the end but nothing really stood out to me. Although, I do wish Fiz wasn't so whiny. In my experience refs always unconsciously favor the team that isn't whining.

They also mentioned a stat about the Knicks being one of the slowest paced teams in the league. The selling point in preseason was how well conditioned the Knicks were and how they were going to out run everybody. What happened to all that? I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the young players continue to develop.
It's hilarious listening to Wally  
bceagle05 : 12/16/2018 8:35 pm : link
heap praise on Kanter on the postgame shows. His eyebrows must blur his vision.
Knox's December averages:  
bceagle05 : 12/16/2018 11:52 pm : link
18pts/6rbs/40%3PT.

Averaging double figures for the season, and rising quickly. Needs to break out of his funk at the free throw line and he'll be scoring 20 regularly. Fiz is giving him a lot of playing time too, which is great.
Knox is a heck of a scorer.

Really has a knack for it. Love the way he's playing.

Morning Knicks fans.

A note on Trey Burke: of 43 players w/ > 25 USG, his 50.3 TS% ranks 39th.

He's a rhythm player. A developing team can't afford to let him dominate the offense to get into that rhythm.

Work the phones Scott, or cut bait. It's time.

pick on the table?

Knox wont jump out of the gym  
nygiants16 : 12/17/2018 4:54 pm : link
But for a 19 year old kid his offensive game is pretty polished, if he hits the 3 at a consistent rate he will really be able to drive more. He is good withthe floater in the lane..

Obviously has to get stronger, id like him to work on post up game this offseason..

I know people hate him but knox would benefit from working with melo on his offensive game

As far as Wally or anyone on the MSG Network goes I hope they are cashing a great check. Who knows what they really think. If they go off script they'll be fired.
