Best of both worlds.... competitive game and a loss.

WHG leads NBA in double-doubles (NYK announcer said).

When he wasn't on the floor the team was crap. Horn getting a good look at these guys, NDour has looked good, WHG and Kuz, Baker needs to work on his shot but he's a keeper.

Yeah, there's just something about Baker I like. Not sure if he can be a starter.... but he's definitely a career backup caliber guy. Let's just hope he shocks everyone and becomes a starting caliber PG.

Its a bad bad shame on how the Knicks players were coached throughout the season ..

1. Old man Melo and the 2nd season raw KP received 10 more minute per game of playing time then their unproductive performance deserve game after game. The

2. Knicks bench players were clueless on the court on both ends from not being giving a ROLE to perform in a lineup with the starters or other bench players.
The concept of using the "Triangle-Offense" has been another 3rd season SORRY excuse (failure) .. Please have a better excuse than the triangle in next season failure.

3. Coach Hornacek poor develop coaching did NOT put any effort into developing a lineup for any of the six rookies WHG/N'Dour/Guy/Plumlee/Baker/Randle to get experience, confidence, to mix well with teammates for their growth throughout the season as a keeper for seasons to come .. only one rookie standout to be a keeper (WHG) out of 6 rookies .. because coach Horn started TANKING as early as mid December when we had 14-10 record .. by playing 3 to 4 raw rookies in the games 8 man rotation.

4. Coach Horn poor coaching never let the veteran bench players form a 2nd unit lineup to start the 2nd and 4th quarters of the game to give our rookies a clue on how to perform:
PG-Jennings
PG/SG-Sasha
SG-Holiday or SF-Thomas
PF-Quinn
PF-WHG

Baker and Randle 1-12 combined. Randal has to be a consistent 3 pt sniper to make it, he's small and an average athlete. I don't see the Knicks keeping him if he can't shoot.

and some guys on this site see 'opie' as our possible starter next year.... and the moans when we let randal go at the start of this year... these guys are at best D-leaguers.... tho that mite giving them toooo much credit...
