Funny game.  MItch started off in a complete funk on D.  Giving up three dunks by just not noticing a man behidn him (twice it was Len, Rob's mna, and the other time in transition with Elf pointing to the Big headign to the paint).

Then Mitch starts dunking everything on simple feeds from many Knix.
Wiz D rather porous.

Avidja looks savvy but just not aggressive enough.
Looks like he'd get good results if he just played a bit harder with more energy/grit.

Bertans was wildly overpaid, as was Kennard.  It's like that summer where a bunch of teams overpaid iffy C's (Mahinmi, Biyombo, etc).  Last Summer teams got panicky and overspent for SHOOTING.

Speaking of shooting, Sadiq Bey notched 30 & 12 with 7 for 7 from deep. He might have a future in the league.

Nice.  I've been trying to keep an eye on Bey.

TyH was THE Pick ...

NYK smoked Wiz.  WAS looked incoherent on both ends.

Rose had a terrific game.
Much better to watch than Westbrook stink it up, go on a mini-tear, than stink it up again.
Burks didn't score but had 8 boards, 1 terrific assist, and a team high +21.

RJB slumping last 3 games.  Tired?

Re:  Barrett

Lets not lose sight of the fact that he is NOT one of the desired types of Tommy Thibs (veterans)

That RJ would lose time to guys like Bullock, Burks and even Rivers as we move on is not outlandish speculation.

This does not diminish Barrett's value as we look to the following year.  It's just a "who can win for me now?" thing.

Robinson broke his hand ...what? tuned in late &  I missed the play...looks like he was having a good game

Knix need to re-sign Mitch.   He's scheduled to make just $1.8M next year.  That's peanuts in the NBA for anybody let alone a starter.  We've taken advantage of him being a 2nd rounder long enough. One genuine injury and his career could be over or his earning power largely erased.  He's proven out.  Knix gotta take care of him with significant guaranteed money.  Get some discount for letting him out of his $1.8M next year deal.  While making sure a Boozer situation doesn't occur.

Yeah, that seems smart. And right. And appropriate.

I have asked all along - how much are we giving Robinson? - as his value fluctuates.

Dealing him at peak could still be a possibility.

We will be okay. 

We still have Noel and Taj. 

Also, we can go small with Julius at the 5 and Obi and Kevin at the 4.


But Noel has already missed games with injuries.

Who steps up if he goes down?

Yeah, we can go small for any particular game. But is that sustainable?

I mean....

is it really too crazy to give Noah a call?

He's only been in retirement a month or so.

Okay, okay, there's got to be better options.

Just a momentary thought. Back to work.....

I expect Taj to play a big role, obviously.  He has earned it.

50-50 on if we bring someone else in.

Dont see Randle playing the 5 at this time.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will undergo surgery on his fractured right hand and is expected to miss four to six weeks, sources told ESPN. Robinson suffered a fracture of the fourth metacarpal on the hand, sources said.
