Because in a WTF moment, we decided to pay Robin Lopez $54M. I guess team leadership figures you have to give minutes to the over-inflated paycheck.

<>< work in mysterious ways. KOQ states he was never told a reason why he was benched. kinda reminds me of MDA days where he didn't feel the need to communicate much with dudes about minutes. seems odd to me but i'm not an NBA lifer like <><.

It's been the trend the past few games. KP comes out after 6min of the 1st quarter, Melo and Afflalo play the whole first quarter, KP comes in before they do in the second quarter. Calderon and Rolo take a nap.

And I didn't understand the KP for KOQ substitution at all when KOQ have 7 rebounds in about 4 minutes with 6 points. Guess he was being too productive for Fish...

It's crazy..the dude has Kenneth Faried type numbers rebounding per minute yet he's stuck at 16 minutes of play a night. Set him free!

D Will can create his own shot in a myriad of ways...he also needs more minutes; just put Dougie Buckets in the blender

I still can't believe Zinger is a Knick
dk7th @ 12/19/2015 8:19 PM
wow that was a pretty find by kp6 from the top of the key. he's got good court vision. wish he could be allowed to play the post more to utilize the court vision for passing. he'd probably be better at it than lopez.

It's nice to see DWill get more minutes - his PER has been off the charts good and he's earned it. Also LOVE Zinger at the 5 with DWill at 4.

There's a lot of flexibility with the lineups we're putting out there recently.

Clyde just highlighted what I have been calling for since the beginning of the season: play Williams, Lance and KO, because they make things happen

There's something about Noah that makes me just makes me want to kick him in the pills.

I would have replaced KP with Lance
SocraticBallin22 @ 12/19/2015 8:31 PM
Knicks are playing well but I really don't like the subs at all this half. KOQ, Lance and DWILL were playing great and were sent to the bench too quickly for the starters. Fish needs to learn that when players or a unit are going well, do not take them out! No need for Jose or ROLO to come back in...they were playing like shit to start the game. He's just too married to his rotations.
