Horrible Nets deal, by the way - when they dealt Anderson to Magic

Assuming Knix take revenge at Home v. CLE to get to 4-10.  How many of the next 10 do the Knix W?  Could easily be something like 6-18 or 7-17 on Dec 11 facing a 4 game West Coast trip.


Like I told my son the day of the Knicks first win over Dallas - "this is the KNICKS, so you never know"

Kevin Knox grabs rebound, looks at Smith Jr on wing and just keeps dribbling

Problem

That's what all our forwards do.  I've seen Portis Morris and Randle do the same.

And will continue to do unless told otherwise

How can we expect our point guards to play in classic mode if not given such opportunity?

CHAIN OF COMMAND
- a PG used to be the "coach on the floor"  but Fiz believes in playing free and positionless basketball.
- so your head coach de-emphasizes the "classic mode"
- your head coach didnt even start a PG to begin the year's first game
- he doesn't respect the PG's so why would Morris, who is in a contract year
- Randle sees Morris and says I can do that too
- Knox picks up the bad habits

We should be on a 3 game win streak but i'll take it.
Wire to wire return of favor to the Cavs who beat us likewise
123 is our highest point total of the year.
Previous high: 111 on opening night.
Feels like the first game since then Randle and Morris both played well.

What Just Happenned?
« Reply #8741 on: November 18, 2019, 10:28:21 PM »

You'll get tired of winning, Knicks fans. 

So much winning. 

Haha. 

Nice game from Frank.  Big step forward for Julius.  RJ just keeps growing (my God, hitting his foul shots).  Dotson starting to cement his place in the rotation, even as he is still getting into rhythm. 

Anyway, the moment is over. 

Still, nice to bitch slap someone from coast to coast.  Still too many damn treys, but better defensive focus on the whole, only 7 turnovers, 35 free throws.  We caught a break with Love being out, but we kept Sexton from going beserk. 

Good to see Fizdale beginning to stabilize his rotations. 

Baby steps.  But I'll take any progress I can. 

Philly on Wednesday with a reality check.

We shall see?

To be continued.

I totally agree with each of your observations.

It's a real issue, not an imagined one.

Taj is not a sensational player. But he is so smart and solid and consistently good.

A guy who would be valuable on any team.

Now not to be a downer after the victory but...

What the fuck is up with Smith Jr.?

Gotta be some story, no? The dude just looks out of it.
