Only the 5th game of the season and I already predict more passing, less hesitation on offense for the entire team.
Melo on Lebron
Who's guarding K-Love?
oh no! Damn refs! KP fouled that spur on the elbow.

He must have learned from k Lenard and the whole Spurs front court. Keep it up KP the more aggressive the more after awhile the refs stop blowing the whistle ...then You can hack the shat outta people like k Lenard and be pronounced dpy... Again keep doing what you do and you to will be dpy some day.

Our golden mooby is playing tonight

Time to give the Cavs a good ole Cleveland Steamer!
4 games into the season... does anybody think the Knicks, win or lose, look distracted from the Fisher/Barnes incident? Remember when writers and 'expert analysts' were trying to make us all panic about distraction and shakiness as a result of the incident? So do they look distracted? What do you guys think?
KP guards K-Love. Shove it down his throat KP.
Where is our "Lebron stopper" from last year?

I don't like that matchup since KP will stretch him out to the 3 point line and KP won't be able to protect the lane. Exactly the point of a stretch 4.

We'll see. Hopefully his neck isn't bugging him too much.

Rather see KP on Moz? IMHO, don't want to see that, not coming off a soft tissue injury. I like Rolo banging with Moz and KP playing D on soft as Luvs.

yeah ... you're right. Tough matchup - I wish Klove played closer to the basket.

I don't this is a great test for him. He gets to go up against a true stretch 4 that can also rebound early in the season. I want KP tested early and often so he can gain knowledge, experience, and film study.
Also, Lopez on K. Love would be a nightmare. Lopez will get to hang back in the paint and not worry about to many jumpers from Moz. It's basically Gortat 2.0 for Lopez.
A real interesting match up for me will be Grant against Dellavedova.

We may see lots of LT tonight also since he can probably guard a stretch 4. Koq does not match up well tonight.
Porzingis is 7th on the NBA Rookie Ladder, dont get Mudiay at 2 with his serious inconsistency. Looks like Scott finally decided to put the ball in Russell's hands, about time.

The pre-Draft buzz was he is not nearly strong enough yet to play inside at power forward. Someone will break him in half under the boards. Reached for comment, Porzingis said: eight rebounds in 26 minutes, six in 21 minutes and 14 in 24 minutes in his last three games. The most recent -- against the San Antonio Spurs of LaMarcus Aldridge, Tim Duncan, Boris Diaw and some David West -- included eight offensive boards and a couple blocks.

They only have one stretch 4 so why wouldn't we see O'Q?

It's going to be different look for KP vs love ... But with those long arms, I wouldn't be surprised if KP gets his steals and breakaways

7th is is preseason ranking. As detailed in the #10 profile (our own Grant), the writer didn't adjust the ranking the first week. Next will be the first week the ladder is adjusted for regular reason play.

Thanks and welcome to the board. I thought the rankings were weird. Glad they're getting started, fun to track his progress vs other rookies. Grant too.

Dont believe anyone here claimed that it was a permanent distraction. For whatever the reason, Fisher presided over the worst record in franchise history, and followed it up with headlines over getting caught in a relationship with the estranged wife of a former friend, with children involved. It was a distraction because Fisher missed a game over it. No one suggested that there would be long term repercussions over this incident.
Fisher is doing a good job so far, hopefully there will be no more drama on this front.
