Was going to mention Flynn looked very nice.

Austin doesn’t have any minutes to take. He might earn some down the line, but it’s unlikely to be at the expense of Frank barring an injury. He would need to beat out Quickley to become the emergency combo guard and rising to sixth in the backcourt depth chart.

Gotta say, Obi looked great, and yes coaching will make a difference this season, the Q is how much of a difference? 
As much as in the NFL, like Judge for the Jints, I doubt it. 

But it is great to have a real coach...in retrospect - what on earth where they thinking with Fizz? the only that guy was ready for is having his eyewear  promoted in Architectural Digest

Real coach

Plus positive variables in Toppin, Rivers, Burks

Just looking at upgrades.  Sure you may need to include Noel - and improvement from RJ.  But I am most confident in the 1 coach and 3 player upgrades mentioned.

Your man out of Israel had an aupicious debut tonight. 

6-6, 3-3 from trey, for 15-4-2 in like 24 minutes.  Hachimura played well.  Lots of threes.  Lost to the Nyets.  DVR'd it.  Will watch tomorrow. 

Knicks were 8-33 from trey, 17-26 from FT, and 33-84 from the field.  Which ain't gonna get it done. 

Payton [PG], Burks [SG] and RJ [SF] played very well for the Knicks, and got us back in the game in the third, with an impressive run. They outscored the Pistons 33-23 in the fouth which was encouraging. Thibs was determined to let his second unit live or die in the fourth.  They died.  Outscored 24-16.  A teachable moment...not encouraging. 

Julius had his 18-6-4, but five classic turnovers.  Frank played hard, made some plays, and a three, but nothing to write home about. 

Kevin Knox was pretty awful, as was Bullock...Dennis?  I keep waiting for him make a break for the hoop like Elfrid does.  What happenned to his game? 

Knicks never got Obi in rhythm, and he was not feeling it.  Hit one three, but missed five. 

The offensive doldrums were numbing.  Detroit's zone took us out of our inside game and they double dared us to beat them from outside.  A good bet. 

So

One Yeah

One Meh

Obi Toppin struggled tonight because he needs a point guard.  Knox too.

How can we judge our young guys when they have to create things all by themselves?

Imagine all the easy buckets Knox and Toppin aren’t getting because we lack a good PG.

We have zero PGs on the roster who can elevate his teammates.

No orchestrator who puts guys in a position to do what they do best.

Until then, this team will struggle and individually talented players will frustrate fans.

Knox and Toppin are almost useless without someone setting them up to take advantage of their strengths.

We aren’t seeing them in the right light.  We need a fucking point.

That guys isn’t playing much with Knox and Obi right now.

Julius needs to clean his game up, trust his teammates and get out of their way.

I like Quickley.

Noel
Toppin
Knox
Bullock
Burks
Barrett
Payton
Ntilikina
Quickley

Are the guys I’ve seen so far I trust to make decisions.

We still have to play Randle and Mitch to win games.

Yes.
