Nope. If Hornacek is going to do this, it better be because we are winning games.

This game will stay close as long as OKC keep no-defense Melo n Felton on the court LOL

wtf is up with all these travel calls?

KP on fire! let's see if he can keep it up.
timmy with the 3 right off the bench.

Ntilikina?s 1st career assist on that jumper from THJ. 2 ugly shots from Ntilikina to start his career though.

KP on fire. 15 points with over 4 minutes to go in the half.

Hornacek didn?t like what he saw from Ntilikina. Sessions back in the game.

Watching last nights DAL ATL game and DSJ looks sensational, how the Knicks chose Frank over him is unreal. Great debut by him, fearless taking it to the rim, shows good perimeter shooting ability and his hops is going to make him a factor on the boards.

Let?s see how long OKC can bear sticking with Melo against KP.

DSJ got almost 30 minutes. Ntilikina will be lucky to play 10. Can?t judge a guy who barely plays.

Right on cue. PG13 now guarding KP. Melo guarding Lance Thomas.

We love to give guys and-1s without really challenging their shot. Fantastic.

By far the worst brand of basketball I've ever seen. Both teams need to give back their paychecks and donate it to all disaster victims. #kporzee kind of recovered some but everyone else is awful...Knits was really pathetic looking he most certainly is not ready.

Told you, did you enjoy the game? I'm more impressed by his understanding and feel for the game more than anything else he brings

as bad as this game looks, we're right there in it. if timmy can stay out of foul trouble we might actually win this game.

Im scared Westbrook is going to blow us out in the 2nd half

yuck... knicks fall apart in the last couple of minutes. 14 TOs!
clean this mess up and come out for the 2nd half to throw some flame!
timmy, stay out of foul trouble damn it!

He was a little off himself but he's also holding back, trying to let his guys get off

DSJ just looks like he's the goods compared to Frank. FYI, DSJ also wasn't the primary defender against Schroeder, Yogi defended him more than DSJ, so you can't criticize DSJ for Dennis going off.

Great game went down to the wire. You mentioned about DSJ staying healthy, that might be a real concern, kid is fearless, took it to the rim and two Hawks sandwiched him and he came down hard and hurt himself enough to go back to the locker room. Maybe he needs to tone that done a little.
