Yes the refs mercifully ended that game last night or it would have gone on like a bad pick up game. I would say it was like watching a women’s game but that would be an insult because the gals shoot better. And Frank???? Zero points. ZERO. And if he was the defensive stopper you guys keep talking about then he would have been on Zach but instead Frank was on the BENCH in the 2nd half because he is liability on both ends of the floor. That was excitingly bad basketball last night and that was a very depleted Bulls team that is tanking as well. Like I said I give you guys all the credit in the world for watching this abomination of a team. One more lottery pick+max free agent will not = playoffs even with KP6 back next season. These guys are light years from being a legit NBA team

How many times we have to see Lavin beat Dot ? we have many fresh legs on the bench who can do much better job, or at least put somebody in the paint who can help !!!
Although Enes had a record breaking night with all the effort, rebounds and all, but his lack of defense is strange, it is as if he is 6.1 player, the offence do not fear him at all, he doesn't even jump some times!!!! even on offense, he always try to shoot the reverse instead of shaking the ring with powerful dunk.... the guy has no lift at all......
Have to see what this team looks like with KP. I'd like to see him play this season, maybe around the ASG, when the rotations should be decided and our young players have NBA experience under their belt. I think KP will play this season because it would be crazy to sign him to a max extension without seeing how he looks before deciding to lock him up for 154M. It'll be interesting to see what they decide to do if he bombs when he comes back, I wouldn't want to make the decision to sign him to that kind of dough if he bombs.
Im sorry to say .. both of the Knicks back to back games were Suspect!
Losing to a 1-7 team, then the next night losing to a 2-8 team .. Suspect!
Last night Knick starter lineup vs a weak Bulls team were Suspect!
The Knicks rotation in both games were Suspect!
The Knicks 4th quarter lineups in both games were Suspect!
Wsup with Fizdale love for Mudiay?
Mudiay should not have been in either of the Knicks back to back games, especially if FortKnox were gonna make a return.
Both Knicks opponents in the back to back depended on their high scoring Guards Wall & Beal, and Lavine & Holiday, making both games a big test for the Knicks 2nd season defensive guard Frank Nitty .. Frank receive 23 minute vs Wizards Wall & Beal who combine for 48 points, then Frank receive 16 minute vs Bulls Lavine who scored 41 points .. all 3 of our opponents high scoring guards received 35+ minute of playingtime
WTF !!!
I cant blame a 30 minute Frank for either of the Losses, I cant blame the Starter lineup or the Finisher lineup for either game losses, I can blame the coach for the different changes in the rotation and lineups in both games.
Frank & Dotson plus Kanter & MitchRob should have received 30+ minute in each of both games for film sake vs scoring guards.
As much as i believe rookie Trier are our best scorer on the Knicks roster, I still believe Trier should not have been in the Starter lineup last night .. Trier energy would have been a better weapon for the Knicks coming off the bench as the 6th man to shock the Bulls like he did vs the Wizards, and Mavs. Yes! Trier performance has been proving he belong in the Knicks Finisher lineup at the end of games.
Trey Burke should have been put back in the Starter lineup last night to replace injured Timmy.
It would have been the test Trey Burke are looking for from the coach to prove he could start too !!!
