Did I hear KP sucks chants coming from the stands?
The fans yelled all kinds of nasty stuff at KP all night. I?m not a fan of it.
Missed the beginning of the game but apparently they were telling TRAITOR, GO BACK TO LATVIA and KP SUCKS during the game. He deserves it setting this franchise back in its rebuild.Did I hear KP sucks chants coming from the stands?
Good coaching job by Fiz tonight. Several things happen that said to me he was seeing potential problems. First of all as soon as Frank good into foul trouble and DSJ enter into the game. On the second defensive series(I think) they went to a zone defense. This was to save DSJ in the man to man and switching. Playing Dotson more in better situation. He suprise me when he pull RJ for Dotson in the closing minutes. But he then put RJ back in during the final minute. Fiz had RJ on Donoic on the last play and if Morris didn't deflect that ball away with 8/10 of a second left this could have been a horrible ending.
I do think he played DSJ to much in last night game. DSJ game wind and conditioning. Trier and Dotson could have give him a breather. Not that I like Trier at PG but he is trying not to be a goal-hawk.
You know the saying, fake it before you make it:
David Fizdale says that Frank Ntilikina came up to him recently and expressed confidence in his game.
Frank: "I feel like I finally understand what the NBA is about. I know I haven't shown it yet, but I'm a dog too"
David Fizdale said it was about two weeks ago when Frank Ntilikina, the soft-spoken point guard, walked into his office.
“He just said, ‘Coach, I’ve been through a lot in my two years,’” Fizdale recalled.
“Just I think the work I put in all summer and even last season while I was injured, allows me to be more comfortable and everything else in life be more comfortable here in this country, this situation as an NBA player. And everything is set now,” Ntilikina said. “So my mind is all the way into basketball and do what it takes to get to the next level. So I think that was the mindset – just get to the next level. And how could I get to the next level? By being a dog, by asking questions, knowing where can I get better, how can I be a better player, how can I bring a lot to a lot to the team.”
Ntilikina was an 18-year-old from a small town in France when he was picked by the Knicks. Within a couple weeks, the team president who drafted him — Phil Jackson — was canned. Ntilikina missed his first Summer League with an injury. He was benched. He was overlooked. He was floated as a trade chip. That’s a lot to digest.
“Him coming into my office, saying that was a big step forward from a maturity standpoint,” Fizdale said. “Him saying, ‘This is what I really want.’”

I still say, put Frank & Dotson in the starter lineup!
And make the rookie RJ the 6th man.
It's obvious the DSJ & RJ guard tandem hasn't been working out to well ..
Last night the DSJ & Dotson guard tandem out-scored and out-defended the Mavs 2nd unit players to stretch the Knicks lead on several occasions.
Sleeping on Dotson to showcase an inexperience rookie RJ Barrett and a FAKE Zion in Randle had a lot to do with the 2-9 record !!!
