Sank his FTs.

Defensive focus.

PS: As per Morris...Randle.  Like their skill set and intensity.  Have a troubling tendency to pound the rock...ball movement stops...force into turnovers. Less so tonight, but need to keep the rock moving. Anyway, I'll take it...we sustained our intensity.

PPS: Luka is TERRFYING.  Frank did well to hold him to a triple double. 

PPPS: Hey, Fizz, can we compete two in a fucking G row.

PPPPS: Mitchell and Dennis gave us a big lift.

Yep i see that too but they've already made the Bird comparisons...maybe its the euro in him but I see Drazen in his game in a bigger body...sneaky, deft passer, dead eye shooter and penetrator

Agree on Dotson - was calling for him to get the rock with a minute left when Randle/Morris took some bad shots and made questionable decisions

not for nothin, but Kristaps "i park my car up front" Porzingis, makes one all star team on our backs while hurt (we voted for him) and a week later he is threatening to go to Spain if he isn't dealt by the deadline?  ENTITLED SHIT.

He was the first option for the Knicks living the NY high life.  Now he isn't even the first option on his own team in red dead Texas.  Fuck him.  Entitled shit.

Morris is a chuck. His inconsistency and what appears to be "I'm gonna get mine" attitude is not suited well for this team. If he drew and kicked more the Knicks would be a lot better off.

He's the biggest black hole on the team.
Averaging 1.2 assist and 2.3 turnovers per 34 minutes.
13 assists over 11 games.

Contract year x 2.
Playing for his last contract.
So gonna get his.
I do like his toughness and aggression.
Hope Knox is taking notes (and elbows).

Just gotta play the Mavs more.

Hey, who was ragging on Jr. Smith?
Has talent and still a big wildcard for us.

Fwiw the players genuinely seem to like Fizz.  And maybe they just played a complete game to save his job.

Knix could easily be 5-8 this year which wouldn't seem so horrid.

The Melo experiment just needs to last to Dec 15.  then we can make a deal with Poorland.

Mavs with 20 more FT's than the Knickers.
Knix sure foul a lot.


Bird it is.
Just imagine if Luka reigns in some of the crazy slop from his game.
He could be an all-time great.


I laughed when Fizz said how close we were to the 8th seed.
But one more win and the Knix would be just 1/2 game out of 7th, and tied in the W column for 7th (with 7 other teams mind you).
East has 6 winning teams as of now.

Nets sure blow leads and play terrible 4Q defense.  And when Kyrie goes cold, the show stops.

Larry Bird is my comp also.

He's a guard, so I like J KIDD WITH A J

Bird posted up - and defended bigs.

Kidd, especially a young one, was a blur with the ball. Not sure Doncic is. He might be sui generis.

Doncic has the size and vision like Bird/LeBJ.
He also comes alive in the clutch like those fellers.

Bird & LeBJ are my points of comparison.
Doncic just has a knack and flair.

A lot of nice plays from Jr. Smith.
I like when he got past his man, kept him on his hip and took his time deciding on a short shot or a lob.  That's smart stuff.
The lobs to Mitch were great.  The rebound-putback was sweet.

With Smith - RJB - Mitch we have three young guys with energy and quicks.  Transforms the team if those guys are active.

LeBron?  Too lofty.

Bird?  Different level.

Magic Light?  Maybe.

Earvin could have scored more if he wished.

In honor of MAGIC - a quiz

Earvin Johnson shot 85% from the free throw line for his career -

but over his final 3 full seasons before getting sick, his cumulative mark was .902 (incredible)

NBA only -

There are EIGHT players all time who have shot 89% for their career - including 3 at 90+.

Name the eight

Two bonuses
 - who are the THREE over .900?
- what 2 active players sit 9th and 10th on all time list, just under .890?
