No excuses tonight. Very winnable game. Moe Harkless should have his Knicks debut tonight.

Let's see if RJ can get it going. Meh since coming back from his injury.

He seems barely involved. No plays seem to run through him.

DSJ sucks two consecutive turnovers. Just carelessness and low bball iq, if I was Miller I would have pulled him right there and put in Nits.

Couple nice plays for Harkless in the 2nd quarter.

Yeah, DSJ is just awful. 4 turnovers in 6 minutes. Who’s left to defend him?

[tiger0330]

They have to do something at PG, season is past the midway point, I don't see either of DSJ or Nits making major strides. Nits is an overrated defender, heard a comment from another teams announcer that he had 2 steals in the last 10 games so why is he considered an elite defender. I mentioned the same thing early in the season why does an elite defender not have steals or blocks in the box score.

Randle-Handle shooting like JR Smith 3-11 .. Payton & MitchRob picknroll working .. the Payton MitchRob & Harkless defense working well

[Kiyaman]

Dang Portis 2 offensive fouls in less than a minute

Gotta get a PG. Looks like RJ is having a decent game from the box score.

[Kiyaman]

It look like Randle-Handle's poor defense and 30% FG shooting will receive 40 minute tonite ....
Miller! I dont see any thing rewarding in the Knicks performance
End of 3rd quarter .. Knicks 73 - Wiz 77

[Kiyaman]

Why would u challenge a Portis foul SMH

Defender is one that defend his player who he is match up against. Defender has nothing to do with steals.
Question - If you got a PG that you would it change the Knicks situation? Think about it before you answer because you aren't looking at the team needs.

We got Payton thankfully, he's not great but he's serviceable getting to the rim and he makes steals. The other two guys don't play enough to make an impact but DSJ is a complete waste of a roster spot. Nits slightly less of a waste. Knicks have to make some roster decisions and one of them will be to keep Payton because they don't have a choice with having the other 2.

There is a lot to say about your assessment of Frank. Not sure what you looking because Frank is always trying to setup the suppose shooter on this team. To Payton credit he has been pretty good. I'm not a fan of Payton but let give credit where it due. You should look at the over -all team because a new PG isn't the answer to what wrong.
