Weird game today for D Mitchell

0 free throw attempts - scores 20 but had just 1 rebound with 5 turnovers vs his 4 assists

Doncic also continues to turn it over (5 x today) - had a line of 14-6-5 on 5/13

HUGE game in losing effort for D'Andre.  Just 5 shots, gets 12-19 and dishes 9 assists

Knicks had a winning record when they traded ZBo. 


What was it.... 9-6?  9-7?

Knicks had a winning record this year too. 

And the last two seasons 16-13.

Proves what?

I'm a fan of both teams.

I like what Fizdale is doing.

Ekant wanted to be an All Star on a 20 win team.
Not worth it.
So we move on to true commitment to YOUTH DEVELOPMENT and TEAM DEFENSE
Worth it.

Fizdale is smart doing it now rather than giving the team another 30 games of no-future ball.

Has been a rocky start for Donovan.
Ups and Downs.
Utah has a strong starting 5, a good 6th man, and needs another 2 bench guys to step up.
Exum is very quick but can't make a layup and can't shoot.
Was very surprised they coughed up $9M per for him (4 year deal).
Burks is streaky.  Royce is a hustle guy.  Enough?

Doncic is doing better than I expected.  Turnovers are high, but he's 19 and playing 35 mins a night.  He had a lot of recklessness to his game and unnecessary pizzazz.  I thought he'd be high turnover and shooting poor on 3's.  If the only major flaw so far is high TO's, not a worry, they can work that out later.  He's transitioned pretty well so far.

Wiz are 1-5.  Their one win by 1 pt.  Hasn't been an easy schedule.
Teams get much easier for the next 3 weeks.  8 of first 12 on the Road isn't fun.  WAS has been underperforming the past few years. Starting Mahinmi, adding Dwight and Awful Rivers aren't improvements.

So, you think it wasnt just about facing Golden State?

You dont think Kanter is back starting next game?

Exum is a "great tools, cant pass him up" re-sign.  Had to do it.

I remind you of his profile when entering the league

Strengths: The 18-year-old Aussie is a fluid and versatile athlete, who shows a great deal of potential … Good size for a guard, and should fill out nicely over time … Excels at getting to the basket and drawing fouls … Finishes through contact and can score with either hand … Excellent body control allows him to make very acrobatic shots at the rim … Opposing defenders are constantly off-balance due to his effective hesitation moves and explosive first step … Moves well without the ball – makes good use of screens and does it at a relatively high rate of speed … Can create scoring opportunities for both himself and his teammates … Just scratching the surface in certain areas of his game – effective at making floaters, shooting off the step-back and posting up, but does not use these skills very often … Improving as an outside shooter – smooth and elevates well off the dribble … Very versatile – used at the 1, 2, and 3 spots … An active and alert team defender – his length and speed allows him to cover a lot of ground … Comes up with a lot of steals and loose balls … Does a little bit of everything, and is willing to do whatever is needed to win, including setting screens and mixing it up in the paint … A good kid – is coachable, affable, grounded, humble, and intelligent ...


Re:  A Rivers

Did you hear Clippers played him a video tribute on his return?

I kid you not.

I am still bullish on him as a decent energy packed combo guard.  May  be a bit of a prick (seems the rep he has) but time to mature, like everyone.

Dwight?  Nah - lets not go down that road today.

Emmanuel Mudiay is probable for tomorrow’s game against the Nets. David Fizdale believes Mudiay is the best passer on the team and will eventually give him a chance to start at point guard, just not yet after missing opening six games of season with a sprained ankle.


But why tho?

Frank just had his first ever start at PG...

ARE WE GOING TO KILL HIS CONFIDENCE AGAIN BY YANKING HIM????

I would think Mudiay would replace Dotson

Would MITCH play with Kanter is the more interesting question
