Can't hit a shot going 2-21 on 3s and shooting the usually terrible 69% from the line and only 3 pts down. Still night pull this one out.

Portis and DSJ have to be the dumbest guys in the league, Portia gets ejected for throwing a tantrum on the court and DSJ just plain dumb, Wally saying he's got to make the smart play on one of his turnovers but when you're just plain dumb you can't.

86-81. Beal trips and falls down. They call a foul and ref gifts WAS 2 points.

88-81 and Randle wide open cutting to hoop but poor bounce pass from EP and weak hands leads to a turnover, and Beal drains a 3 on the transition.

91-81 just like that bc ref is clueless and PG can?t pass

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.

Giving Dotson 3 minute is a dum Fizdale move .. Sloppy B.Ball from the Knicks .. we getting NO Defense from Randle-Handle, RJ, and Bullock.

Well it turns out we really needed to keep Mook and we were right to assume that without him we would not be competitive without him after tonight.

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.

You didn't think about it before you answer!!

If Payton was receiving the same spot minute of playing-time as Frank & DSJ his performance would be no better than theirs.
Frank & Knox have a better performance when in a lineup together having MitchRob & Dotson.
All these mixed-up lineups with no leadership and no system plays having a no passing Randle-Handle wanting the ball on every offensive possession when Frank or DSJ are at the point.
Tonight, Ellington and Portis perimeter shooting (3-10) did not have Gibson or MitchRob in their lineup to provide Picks and screens for open looks.
Sorry, but Miller TANK tonite game .... 114- 96 Wizards

Typical NYK... go back to OT on Sunday.... Knicks up 8, with the ball and 90 seconds left...

Knicks on verge of a 5 game win streak, be 4 back of 8th seed and a chance to enter all star break on a 6 game win streak with a home win vs lowly WAS...

We finally canned Mills.... praises for hiring Leon Rose and WWW... convinced Stout to tackle our image issue...

A few days later... Knicks blow OT lead, blown out at home and barely try... Stout makes an ass of the org and WWW decides he cant join the org.


This. Is what it?s like rooting for NYK under Dolan?s leadership.

You can?t make this stuff up...

NYK now 17-38... if they were 19-36 they would be the most overrated loser team nearly 20 games under .500 in NBA history.... we fans would?ve rode that high all AS weekend.

That?s what we?ve been reduced too. Begging for something... anything to cling to and root for.

I mention it a million times this season .. Morris & Gibson were/are the best winning players on the Knicks 15 man roster.
The Knicks trading the best starting-player in their rotation shows how STUPID the organization are !!!
Stupid is what Stupid does CTFU LMFAO at the Knicks 2019-20 STUPIDITY !!!

Yeah .. nothing change .. Stout comment got Miller TANK-TANK coaching !!!
 
Has anyone notice how the team start playing better when RJ got hurt? How they seen to have more chemistry?

Has anyone notice how the team plays since RJ return for his minutes? Last nite game was a lot of IZO.

Just wondering......

We were playing better while RJ was out. We also still had Morris for most of it though.
 
AGREED!!
What is the take away from that??

No doubt Morris was the best player on the team before we traded him.

RJ should come off the bench probably at this point. Take DSJ out of the rotation all together. Let RJ play with Ntilikina in the 2nd unit.

In regard to Morris. Is he the team leader and I say that knowing that he call for the players only meeting. But is he the team leader or is he a good player until a leader is found?

You know I agree with you about RJ. Not sure if needs a lot of playing time considering he had so much before now. RJ isn't as fluid as I think he should be as a player. He isn't as fast and not a good quick first step. Pushes off going to the basket and surprise he doesn't get call for more offensive fouls. That is typical of Duke players. Quit trying to force feed him and make him a star. I would like to see the 2nd unit minute increase greatly. Frank should be given at least 25 to 30 minutes a game.

Not sure what to do with DSJ. He looks to be a problem from his body language. I keep getting the feeling he feel like someone owe him something. I think he can't get over Dallas letting him go for Donic and turning the team over to him. Now I hope I'm 100% wrong about that. New York is the wrong place for him to be playing bad.
