Game thread: New York Knicks @ Detroit Pistons 7:00 11/27/2018 [Game #22]

They have Trier playing PG with Tim and Dotson. A look I've wanted to see, he's got 3 dimes, he's our best rookie and among the top rookies in the NBA.

Reality slap for our young Knicks. Good teams don?t bring their effort when playing tankers. After 3 straight wins, we got DET?s attention and they spanked us.

Back on the lottery train.

WOW! Embarrassed Knick 4th quarter .. no type of set defense to stop one offender from scoring inside !!!

3:01. NYK cut it to 8. These kids compete. Have to give them that.

Trier goes iso against Drum and lays it up. Knicks cut it to 8 3 left.

Why is Knox in the game? Stupid foul. He has 1 point and has been utter crap since his injury. He should not be getting rewarded with late-game playing time.

Didn?t watch a second of this game but 70 FTs is way too much. Stop calling everything. Let them play (like they do in playoffs).

Dotson deserves minutes, doesn't play for 4 games and comes back with a 17 pt night 3-3 from downtown. Nits a no show zero pts.

I said it last game about where was Dotson. According to Breen, Fiz told him he was still evaluating but he should stay ready, 17 pts says he did coach and deserves to be in the lineup ahead of guys like Nits and Knox.

Allonzo Trier nearly triple-doubled in a 115-108 loss to Detroit on Tuesday with 24 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and one triple in 31 minutes.
He was 7-of-11 from the field and 9-of-12 from the line, setting career-highs in boards, assists and free throws. The undrafted rookie has now posted two big lines in his last three games, averaging 19.7 points, 7.3 boards, 4.0 assists and 1.3 triples in that span. Courtney Lee (neck) will be returning soon but is still on the trade block, and with coach David Fizdale and the front office on the same page in regards to player development, Trier has a clear path to big minutes going forward. His two-way contract is a lock to be converted into a guaranteed deal once his 45 days of eligibility are up, but the Knicks will have to cut someone else.

Yep .. the knicks got some nice 2-Guards on the roster and in the game-rotation .. Timmy, Dotson, Trier, and Lee coming soon.
I think Fizdale coaching-staff really need Rasheed Wallace and Chauncey Billups to teach all our guards how to box-out and keep ball-movent so us fans will know all the Keeper-players by midseason.
Fizdale's defensive-coaching tonight need lot's n lot's of work .. SMH
You got to give it up to Detroit Pistons new head-coach Dwane Casey's long guard rotation really put it on us by out scoring us in each of the first 3 quarters tonight. We gave a energy veteran Detroit team a 10 point lead to start the 4th quarter.
The set design plays coach Casey has Reggie & Blake running ate us up tonight, because the Piston's team-ball-movement was just that .. A Team Ballin tonite !!!
We wasn't able to still a win on the road from above .500 team tonight .. nice scoring energy from Trier & Dotson tonight though .. 7-15

is there a reason nobody could hit a shot or a layup? they got pretty good looks and drives. everybody did that except Allonzo.....we were moving good but could not finish

The difference were in the Head Coaches design plays ....
Dwane Casey is a veteran head-coach with several set plays in his team offense & defense, the Piston's took control of the tempo of the game from tip-off to the final buzzer last night.
David Fizdale is still a rookie coach having only a man to man defense, and a isolation offense, there's nothing creative or planned in Fizdale coaching to be optimistic about, the players have little to no option on offense other than isolation.
Fizdale has a habit of putting new lineups on the court that he never used in practice, and it shows.
