But i prefer 1-2

Hardaway's team

Porzingis has to mix back in.

That one might actually top "watch Mudiay continue to blossom."  )

I LOVE David Fizdale. 

His Knicks are competing purposefully and hard for 48 minutes. 

Toe to Toe with the Beast Of The East. 

Not saying I dont like him but we had similar efforts under the last regime.

A bit scattered with the lineups.

[Kam]

That has been missing.

[lesterluv]

Not saying I dont like him but we had similar efforts under the last regime.

A bit scattered with the lineups.

And the regime before that...let's see what we look like round the 40 game mark.

[facilitatorn]

Dotson made a clear case for most if not all of the backup SG minutes. I think he can keep it up.

[facilitatorn]

Lance and Baker are quickly earning mascot status with their on-court play.

Replacing Baker in the lineup is easy. Lance might be a little harder with our roster.

good game last night, closer than I figured, turned into a nail-biter.

Celts still look disjointed on offense, the flow isn't there yet, or maybe it was great D, too early to tell., but the knicks played tough.

I was watching in a bar, so no sound, but it seemed when Baynes went out in 2Q that changed the game as Hordford was outmanned at big man and Kanter became more effective. Or it was the scotch.

Glad Tatum slipped to the Celts at #3, shit that kid got a feel for the game, although i almost lost it when he got a a little too ehthusiastic and bailed out (?) fouling at that prayer 35-footer.

The kid might have a future in the league.

shame about knox going out, wanted to see him play.

I thought KI drive through the Knick triangle D for a +1 might have been the play of the game.

good early season game.

or it was the scotch.

PS: I think Vonleh is more effective coming off the bench.

But so is Lance.

Lance makes sense starting as he has been on the Knix for a while and is a vet, etc.  But if the team can't score in the 1Q, a change will be made.  Maybe wait til Courtly is ready.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mud drops out of the rotation and becomes a forgotten man.  Only thing that can save him is if Franc falters or Burke gets hurt.  Because Trier and Dot are both better backup SG's than Mud.

I assume Knix are looking to move Courtly & Mud and willing to take whatever.

Vonleh can board and screen.
So a useful role player.
Also bouncy.
I like using him as part of the fullcourt press.
He's long, athletic, and not going to play big minutes so can expend his energy in the backcourt on D.

So they are saying the Rondo-CP3 mini-fight was the first since:

Then-Knicks coach Isiah Thomas was angered by Nuggets coach George Karl, who appeared to keep Anthony in the game late to run up the score.

Thomas made a late sub in Collins, who soon after flagrantly fouled then-Nuggets guard JR Smith with 1:15 remaining and the Knicks down 119-100. During the ensuing altercation after Collins' foul that included several players on both teams, Anthony punched Collins in the face and was ejected.

Anthony, the league's leading scorer at the time, received a 15-game suspension from the NBA three days later. The Knicks and Nuggets organizations were both fined $500,000. Smith and Knicks guard Nate Robinson were suspended 10 games, Collins was suspended six, Knicks forward Jared Jeffries was suspended four games, and Knicks center Jerome James and Nuggets center Nene were suspended one game for leaving the bench.

Hard to believe it was 12 years back, or that no one has thrown (connected?) on a punch since then.
They also fail to note that Melo threw his punch and immediately retreated in a pretty punk/cowardly display.

Looks like Ball will be starting the next few games.
I assume Rondo will get a 3 game maybe up to 5 game suspension, but who knows?  Not a big fight really.  Ingram should be in trouble for starting the incident then coming back and throwing punches after the delayed PG flare-up occurred.  Rondo and ChrisPaul are both kind of stubborn dickheads.  Rondo led with a left jab -- a left handed punch always a bit of a surprise, if you got one.

[Kam]

I just watched the fracas.  It was a good one.  I think the main players (Ingram, Rondo, and Paul) all deserve anywhere from 3 to 5 game suspension.  Looking back at the previous suspensions... Stern was more draconian than Silver should be.

[bodiddley]

I don't blame Ingram for being annoyed with Harden.
Hardon on a fast break drive just sticks out the ball and elbows a backpedaling Ingram in the face.  I'd call an offensive foul on that as it looked intentional.  But rather a punk move for Ingram to return to the scrum (form 25 feet away) and throw punches at CP3 while everyone is trying to break up his fight with Rondo.

Initially it was Lance who pulled Ingram away from the brouhaha.
I'm not an Ingram fan, but LeBJ should be in his ear and on him, and try to focus him.  He's got talent if he can play smart(er).  Who better to learn from?

Looking forward to Lonzo running the show.

[bodiddley]

Without Butler (resting) Minny gave up 140 to DAL.
Scored 136 and lost . . .

Mini had DRose guard Smith Jr on the key endgame play.
Shades of Tim Jr flailing away . . .

DAL took 50 3's, more than half of their FG's.
A worrisome NBA trend.
Boring hoops.
