The list, for one, is ridiculous. 

Second - I take Barrett in a heartbeat at 2.

The most useless ranking I've ever seen.
After his Top 4, he says:
Quote
all 13 of these guys are really interchangeable to me. The players separated by only slashes are seriously tied and I can put them in a different order based on seeing a single good or bad possession. That’s how close it is.

Why bother with any rankings if you're just going to punt and say Well everybody's roughly equal.  Geez.  And zero analysis of what anyone's strengths or weaknesses are.  What did he have, a 2 minute deadline, and he quickly whipped that out?  Embarrassing.  Almost the definition of a useless internet article.  And you're going to panic based on that?  Jeez x 2.

If there every was a year to introduce a system and stick to it hell or high water, this was it.  I don't care if we sign five FAs all of whom are great - I don't see a systematic foundation for playing any kind of even "let's pretend"  the right way.

Completely disagree.  This was a year for individual development.  And team losing.  We didn't need a system because we have few legit starters and plenty of players who won't be back.

Once we get some legit starters we can worry about implementing a style of play.  Next year.  This year was getting players up to NBA level and gaining experience.

As for Franc, I'm not that down on him.  I'm still counting on him developing as a PG.  But if he's not at least a backup PG, then his role/usefulness will be rather limited.

Looks like most of you didn't get a chance to see the early game against the Lakers Sunday. Big first quarter. But it wasn't especially beautiful after that. Lot of  faltering. The same shit we've seen all year.

But those last few minutes. Wow. How many times this year have you seen the Knicks come back in the last few minutes of a game and win?

And win on a final play? With a defensive stop? Against fucking Lebron?!

For all the pain, the rare burst of pleasure comes welcome.

Making both free throws to take the lead in last minute is almost unprecedented with this group.

A pretty dumb foul from KCP.
Certainly more pressure when you need to make both to tie.
And there was still a fair amount of time left.
But yeah, gotta knock down your FT's.
DeAndretheGiant also put in a pair around the 2 min mark getting fouled going for a stuff off a good Mud dropoff pass.

Zonja actually guarded LeBJ well from what I saw.  With 4 mins left LBJ drove and Zonja stuck with him and then reached in and tied him up.  Around the 2 min mark LBj brought the ball upcourt and Zonja applied full court pressure, taking a few swipes at the dribble just past midcourt.  Then the crucial block.  LeBJ didn't seem to have great legs in the game.

Unfortunately my internet connection was erratic, so I saw maybe half the game.

Buck release Christian Wood to make room for Tim Frazier. We should grab CW from waivers so we have him for next year.

I guess they will take a look at some minutes of Frazier-Bledsoe - looking for options with Malcolm out.

Frazier is probably just insurance in case Hill gets injured or ineffective.

I read recently that Jarrett Jack is playing the GLeague.
He'd be a solid vet pickup as 3rd PG for someone.
Edit: Just looked him up and he just tore his ACL two days ago.
Well, that's likely career over heading into 36 years old.  Shame.
