Randle out for personal reasons... still not Mm...

Knicks trail 72-53 at the half... RJ with 10.... EP with 11 (but is brutal tonight).... nothing else of much note. Dotson has 6.

Bullock showing he don?t belong in starting lineup.

RJ missed all 5 shots in second half.... Dotson with 11, but it was Frank who lead all Knicks with 16.

Mudiay led all scorers with 20.

0-4 road trip. We slump back home.

I missed the game .. watching the highlights are enough SMH @Jazz 128-Knicks 104 score
The Payton Barrett and Bullock trio-guard lineup SUCKED! Those starter trio guards need lots of direction!
The bench trio-guards played 10 times better.
Mudiay's 8-12 FG shooting spanked Payton & Barrett for a easy 20 point gameNwin!
The Utah Jazz kept stretching their lead throughout the game when coach Miller had the starter trio guard Payton/RJ/Bullock lineup on the court.
This is the 2nd game that Frank & Dotson did not need another guard (Ellington) in their lineup. They needed rebounding and Bigs setting screens.
Since Bullock was made active coach Miller sense of direction has been the same as that LOSER coach Fizdale.
Is Mills/Perry coaching who gets playing-time, and when ???
When Miller put Bullock into the rotation he also added Ellington in the rotation. Why?
Why is Miller afraid to put the 2-Way lineup (Frank Dotson Knox Portis MitchRob) that gave Miller all his Knicks wins back on the court?
Miller did not put the 2-Way lineup on the court in any of the West-coast 4 game road trip ??? Why?
Miller did put Frank Dotson Knox Portis and Gibson on the court for 4 minute vs Lakers, they were doing well until Miller added RJ Barrett.
Don't Miller know Ellington is the teams 10 yr experience perimeter shooter the head coach would only put in the game during the 2nd half to take five or six open 3-Ball shots .. I know that's Old-School but it win games.
Iggy got a good 5 minute of garbage-time to show a well complimentary performance with Knicks teammates.

Frank, Dotson, Mitch 61 mins played together this season have a +9.2 net rating(104.6 ORtg/95.5 DRtg).

246 mins last season with +6.6 net rating(105.5 ORtg/95.5 DRtg).

300 mins of good basketball. It?s still small sample size & maybe it wouldn?t hold BUT how about finding out?

Frank has become smooth in this Utah game without having the trio ball-hoggers in the lineup.
That jumper is butter!
Frank gets by his defender if they close on him. He has taken a few big-steps this season.
It was fun to see frank without Randle or Morris.
Frank Ntilikina averaging 16/5/8 on 50% from the field and 90% from the line (62 ts%) with only 2.5 tov per36 in his last 5 with an average +/- of 7.9 but is only playing 20mpg. Time for more minutes?
Mudiay looks even thinner and faster than last year. Having a good coach on a good team has Mudiay building a foundation for a NBA career.
