RJ and Burks on fire, with 20 apiece on the first half. Thibs won?t be happy we allowed 60 in the half, but impressive offensive showing so far. RJ drilled his first 2 threes!

Second half begins with awful EP turnover, who had Mitch wide open on P&R. Next possession EP steps out of bounds.

12 turnovers so far..

IQ hip pointer. He won?t returns.

EP is painful to watch. I can?t believe we have to watch him run the point again.

EP hits a 3. Knicks 9-16 from downtown.

Quick night over with a hip pointer. Just reading Knicks didn't offer either DSJ or Nits an extension and if they don't get into the game with IQ being out I'd say it's goodbye to those 2.

Randle finally playing TEAM-BALL .. RJ playing his best game as a Knick .. Burks & IQ keeping us in the flow of things .. and Pacers Sabonis putting MitchRob & Noel in foul trouble.
Rookie Toppin need to do something other than shoot 3 balls

I was just using Yahoo Sports on my phone to see the box score and I saw a LIVE click through so maybe the NBA is offering a trial preview of LP. When I clicked it, it was just showing a Laker ceremony but maybe thats because we're at the half.

Oh I see, did it actually stream the game?

Frank looks awful. Time to move on. He passed on a wide open 3, then later ignored a wide open Knox at top of key for 3, instead takes a mid range pull-up (which he bricks). He can?t even cover McConnel. Then airballs a layup. Done with Knits. He wasn?t ready for his opportunity tonight and I don?t see a reason to give him more chances.

As I type... he bricks a 3.... Without IQ, there?s no PG leadership. EP had 4 turnovers and 3 assists

KNicks 0-1.

RJ and Burks with 20 apiece in first half. I think they combine for 4 points in second half. So nice to ignore our 2 best offensive weapons...

EP, Frank, DSJ all need to leave.

Our shooting % reverted to our mean... EP and Randle combine for 10 turnovers.

If you start these 2 you are a lottery bound team.

Never was a fan of the kid, I hope the Knicks can get something back for him and DSJ.

Sabonis exposed Mitch. No way he deserves a monster contract based on what we?ve seen so far. He was just eaten alive by a true C.

Gonna be interesting to see who Knicks fans blame this yr if this is the rotation Thibs sticks with

We still have a point guard issue. One thing is for sure RJ is a pretty dope cat

If Obi is the most NBA ready player, this draft class will be historically bad.

More like, he?s most NBA ready to be Randle?s backup?

I said when we drafted him kid was a project and when you?re an org having too many irons on the fire it stunts a proper development

This team needs to make a trade to trim the fat
