Timmy with 27-6-6. He's beginning to look like he's sort of worth that 70 mil.
Lee looks like he hurt something.
lol THJR almost through the game away with that scud missel he launched from the logo. He is probably the new Jamal Crawford without the sauce.
Knicks avoid a bad loss after being behind most of the game. Horn went small at the end, this lineup might have won the Cavs game instead of going with Kanter at the end of the Cavs game.
He's being groomed the same way Tony Parker was at the age of 19. Frank is learning how to play under pressure and in key situations early in his career, which is a very smart coaching tactic by Horny. Once we become a perennial playoff team, he'll be ready to lead us deep into the playoffs by the experience he's getting now :thumbsup:WTH! Great come back win although small-rotation leads to early injury .. some things to be concerned about we clearly need to work on .. too many mistakes from players n coach .. but still a good win!
Frank has been better than advertised .. the only thing Frank need to work on throughout his rookie season is his confidence. Frank does not seem like a natural scorer .. yet .. well he's 19, what the hell.
Franks growing better each game .. the fact that we never see him sitting in the 4th quarter speaks volume on our 8-6 record.
I doubt frank will ever be a bonafide scorer, but I do see him averaging around 15 ppg. He's also gonna be a Kirilenko-type player where he'll fill up the stat sheet every night.I don't want it to sound like I'm down on Ntikilina or that I don't believe in his future.
He's exceeded my expectations and I think his court vision and defensive tenacity are plus-plus skills.
One could argue that his ability to play defense and help set-up others matters more than being a pure scorer, which the others seem to be right now.
When DSJ is dunking or Monk raining 3s or DM doing a little of everything.... one can see those fingerprints more clearly than FN's. I love our rookie's talents and style of play... I just think it'll be a few years before he's a legit offensive force.
If Timmy can score like he's scoring.... then we won't need Frank to be a shooter anyway
We're like 6 pts better when he's on the floor than when he's off. Time to give him more minutes than Jack.Even with all the mistakes he is making, Ntilikina conisistently is smothering the point of attack. We’ve gone from years of the opposing team’s PG waltzing into the paint and breaking down our defense to the other team’s PG not even being able to get the ball on a lot of plays.
If you look, Ntilikina often has one of the most positive plus/minuses on our team, even when he doesn’t do much on the offensive end. Ntilikina was +9 last night. Only Knick who was better was THJ who was +11.
