Portis at C
Randle at PF
Morris at SF

with Barrett and Payton

Any other lineup you trot out will be worse offensively.
Maybe better defensive lineups out there, but if you want to score you play Portis and reap the rewards of spacing.

I'm not trying to be a smartass but what is a 3man line-up?   It's 5 on 5.

It's not a three man lineup, its the players who are the common denominator regardless of the players in the other two positions.  The fact that these three keep showing up is an interesting metric that indicates chemistry rather than empty personal statistics.

I'm not even trying to rattle your arguments - simply trying to provide material as to why some of us feel so strongly about Frankie and Dotson.  MR is a no-brainer.

Ntlikina-Dotson-Knox

Are you kidding me?

100 minutes - playing when down 20+ points and against other teams'second and third units

For some reason the replays I've been finding always have the opponents broadcasters even when the game is at MSG.

Andy Rautins Dad, Leo is one Toronto announcer, and he had his partner laughing a lot.  They praised the Knick rebounding, which was strong again, and Coach miller, saying NY looked more prepared.  Although Rautins said they have the best seat in basketball at MSg, sitting next to the legendary Clyde Frazier.  Then add "Clyde the Glide."   Canucks ...  Maybe he was trying to be funny(?)


Mostly a solid game from NYK.  I like Portis' interior passing.  Knix moved the ball a lot, though it often didn't lead to shots.  Also, Raps tended to leave Payton open if they had to play off someone.  Still looks to me like FVV's margin for error is small, and I think he'd struggle on a weak team with ill-defined roles and poor shooters.  Rautins et al thought Portis could be a good player on a better team.  But he can look good one night and then not the next two.  Consistency and focus are weaknesses.

I thought this was kinda cool.
Scoring for all games played including playoffs.



Pretty amazing consistency from LeBJ.
(I assume most of Kobe's single digit games were from his rook year when he wasn't quite ready)

RJ Barrett will miss at least one more week as he continues to recover from a sprained right ankle.

The team said Saturday that Barrett has transitioned from crutches to a walking boot and that his next evaluation would take place in a week.

Player B is Bobby Portis
Player D is Mitchell Robibson

Oh geez, I hadn't heard that.  Reports I saw were just that 4 other people were aboard.  Terrible if his girls died as well.

I never was much of a Kobe fan, but post-retirement he seemed to have a lot going on, much that was interesting.  Just 41.

His 13 year old daughter Gianna.  Seems they were on their way to one of her games, which Kobe coached.  Another parent and female player also on board.  Presumably the 5th person was the pilot.

I didn't know Kobe had 4 daughters.  The youngest just born in 2019.  Which shows how young Kobe still was.
