It's was obvious coming in but still easy to see how DJ can help Mitchell
The backboard pass from DSJ to DJ was sweet. We can see the Trier to Mitch and DSJ to DJ connections, but everyone should be looking for these more often. Hell we should be running them to Knox and maybe Mario. Used to drive me nuts we didn't use KP this way more too
They out rebounded the Raptors 57-47, shot 41.5% to 38.4% from the field, and both teams shot 40% from the 3 point line. Would have been a great win against the 40-16 Raptors.
Mario took the difficult shots that needed to be taken, for clock reasons. DSJ was out of sorts tonight. Still like the player, but he needs to learn how to get over a screen and he needs a plan at the FT line.
but they said DSJ was real down about the missed FTs yesterday. It might have effected his game tonight and if so would be a good teaching moment
Fizdale said he thinks he was a littler tired, played him a lot of minutes last couple of games...
also said he told him if you are going to lead and be a ppint guard do not show bad body language, doesnt matter if you are having a bad individual game...
also said in the huddle he was leading and talking to the team
- I've been kind of disappointed overall in the "Fizdale will develop the young guys" overall (maybe they just aren't talented) but thumbs up his work with Mitchell. Kid clearly needs to be coached up and confidence.
-DSJ has been what I expected. Ridiculous athlete, mediocre basketball player. If he can improve his shot he has a chance.

After all the deadline maneuvering, I now project 12 teams to have cap space this summer (9 with room for at least one max deal):

Kenny Albert said Fiz said that Allen lost 25 pounds since training camp. WTF? How overweight was he then because it doesn't look like he is in tremendous shape now. Haha. That is crazy. He looked solid tonight. I hope he keeps up with the dedication.
At the start of his second pro season and first with the Knicks the 26-year-old arrived to training camp woefully out of shape and failed the teams conditioning test, earning Allen a trip back to the G-League.
I knew I wasnt at an ideal weight, Allen said last week. I went home after last season, and I was eating a lot. I felt it in the summer time playing pickup. I felt myself being heavy, and the conditioning test came and showed it. Im not afraid to admit my failure, what I did with that one.
As the Celtics second-round pick in 2017, Allen spent more time with the Maine Red Claws (34 games) as a rookie than in Boston (18 games). When he landed in Westchester, Allen wondered when hed get another NBA opportunity again.
Its tough in the G-League. Its very mental, Allen said. Its just like, Am I ever gonna get there? Sometimes it seems far away. You dont know if its ever gonna happen. Link - ( New Window )
RE: If the Knicks had made their foul shots, they would have won
Paul George is a monster. One of the most underrated players in pro-sports, not just the NBA. Boring name? Markets played? Not really sure why.
Totally agree- truly a great player. What he did on both ends was incredible last night.
Theres a lot of teams- especially the Lakers, that must regret not trading for him. I remember I use to argue with someone on here who didnt view him as a great player. I think hes number 2 in the MVP race.

he has taken his game to another level...
i used to think he was a good number 2 but never an alpha, this year he is carrying that team
Knicks sent out emails for season tickets which have to be reupped by february 28th...
Knicks used a picture of robinson and durant
Yikes. Where did you see this? If thats true they are playing with fire. Is it showing Durant in a Knicks uniform? If hes in a GS uni then it may be a bit more explainable but Im not sure that its all that common to show opponents in this scenario, but maybe it is.

- Im also loving the Celtics struggle. Very telling comments from Morris. That team is a mess. Wheres the criticism of Brad Stephens?

the way the league has been cutting down on tampering i am suprised the knicks did this...
It may have been conpletely coincidental but they can not be that naive
Until then, I still think that they will end up with Hachimura, Kemba Walker and Tobias Harris.
