Put it this way,

Frank was a -16
No other Knick was worse than -8

So he was twice as bad as the next worst Knick.

And that my friends, is saying something.

We managed to make it a close scrappy sloppy affair the whole game. In a game of ugly moments, the last Knicks possession was especially ugly.

For Frank, either the ball handling and passing mistakes, the missing good looks, or preferably both have got to go or at least get turned way down.

Payton at least gets and makes layups.

That last possession was breathtakingly bad.  Clyde was besides himself.  All the other Knicks bringing THEIR DEFENDERS into Randle's space, like a custom-tailored triple team.  Terrible spacing, no sense of ball movement or motion or TRUST in moving the rock and getting the highest percentage shot. 

Subsequently, missed defensive assignments on Harris trey.  Mitchell was way out of position. 

Of particular pain to me. however, given my enthusiasm for Randle, was one of the possessions in the last two minutes, where Peyton is to his right, and Randle is bringing the ball up...GIVE IT TO PEYTON, says I (as does Elfrid's body language)...but Julius is in point forward/hero ball mode, as he dribbles into the paint, clearly intent on bulling his way to the hoop...PASS THE FUCKING BALL, says I...PASS THE FUCKING BALL, says I again.  I forget it if was an offensive foul or some other miscue; BE THAT AS IT MAY, a turnover, and a wasted possession. 

I am on record as opposed to the Chris Paul Fantasy trades, for a variety of reasons.  Not the least of which is that THERE IS NOT A GHOST OF A CHANCE CP wants any part of NY.  Be that as it may...

With respect to BoD, tell you what....

If Chris Paul was on the court, he'd have bitten Julius' dick off and stuffed it in his fucking ear; less demonstrably, he still would've shouted at Randle in no uncertain terms, a la fucking Oscar Robertson, "Shut up and GIVE ME THE FUCKING BALL," allowing the PG to call a play, get the spacing right, call out picks and screens, facilitate motion and thus engender all the elements which go into setting up a make-able shot. 

[Sigh]

PS: Fuck Andrew Wiggins.

Word.

Which only makes the fact that Eldfrid didn't have the ball in his hands for key possessions down the stretch even more incomprehensible. 

I have been pointing the finger at Julius in that regard, but hey, THAT IS ON COACH MILLER. 

Give the ball to your point guard. 

When it is do or die time, do you want the ball in the hands of the +5 PF with an admittedly solid 14-12-5 (but 5 turnovers), or the offensively challenged 5-for-14 PG, who nevertheless has racked up 7 assists, 7 rebounds and 10 points with only 1 turnover for a TEAM LEADING +13. 

Winnable game.  Fucking winnable game. 

That's on coach. 

Players have to execute, and make fucking shots, but coach has to have an extension on the floor, and that facilitator is the PG.

Okay.

A triple double in 36 minutes. 

18-10-11.

Kiid is impressed. 

Would it be churlish of me to point out how...

A) Wolves lose by 10.

B) Wiggins is 1-5 from trey. 

C) Despite the sexy stat line, Wiggins is a team leading -13. 

D) And at the risk of repeating myself, Wolves LOSE BY TEN. 

Yup, he'd make a perfect Knick.

Randle did exactly as you described another time and found Morris for a hoop.  Last 2 minutes.

Wiggins did finish his triple double

Does CP3 have gas left in the tank?

He most assuredly does. 

Thunder beat the Blazers, and in 28 minutes Paul is 11-15, 3-5 from trey, 5-5 from the charity stripe, for for 20-4-7 and a team leading +20. 

Do the Thunder have any interest in trading Paul, to anyone, let alone, to the fucking Knicks? 

They most assuredly DO NOT. 

Get over it, dude.

Did I say ANYTHING about Ball, tube steak? 

Notice how often I have been praising him in posts of the past month. 

A typical Trump move. 

Blow me. 

PS: Oh, and sorry to reference REALITY here, but Ball is locked up in New Orleans through 2020 and 2021, and a qualifying offer of 14.3 million comes due in '22, so Ball isn't exactly a free agent, now, or for the next three years, is he, ASS HAT?

Like I said....we will have our future at pg by then, very likely.  And yes. Of course if I am the Pels I give him what he wants.  But no telling if dollars will be enough or if Ball will like so many others wish to pick his destination

It's ok brah I don't think Minny is inclined to move AW anyway at this time.  Only reason would be a "him or me" ultimatum with Towns

Not a viable option for three years. 

And I do not think NO is trading him. 

As for Jrue Holiday, we missed the boat on him back when Donnie was all in on Jordan Hill.

I sincerely doubt that Towns has ANY interest whatsoever in forcing a trade. 

Circle Jerk Conjecture. 

No more.

No less. 

No basis in reality.

Frank had less to do with this loss than almost everyone else.

Missed free throws.  Stupid passing.  Turnovers.  Please.

Shove your myopic, hate filled stats where the sun don't shine.
