Thats why I believe it important to encourage Frank to be aggressive sooner rather than later. The longer he waits, the tougher it will get.


I see what you mean, but we have better support for Frank than we did for Grant. Grant wasn't in the most ideal situation with us in terms of coaching, mentors, stability etc. Chicago isn't a much better. Plus grant was like three to four years older than Frank is in his rookie year.

This, I think he would be much better here than for the Bulls. Bulls are really in shambles. On paper their lineup looks like it has bags of potential on paper but my god are they awful.

Are we not entertained?!
Is this not why we are here?!
Almost 20 games into the Season I gotta say it has been a while that I had so much fun with the league!!!
It might have to do with how my Knicks are playing ball... but generally its a fun to watch season with great play... good narratives and entertaining personalities (Mr.Embiid comes to mind!)

I personally am happy that after a "the rich get richer" off-season teams like the Warriors have proven to be beatable as well!

I really like what I see... looking foward to see continuous growth by fun teams like Philly and the Bucks as well!

Sad news. Loved when he and Walton used to go after each other on broadcasts.

RIP Snapper...Loved the way Snapper and Walton played off of each other on those NBC broadcasts. Snapper was more straight forwards while Walton was a bit out there with his humor...

Pistons just beat the Celts!!! Anytime the Celts lose its a good thing....Pistons may be fareal...They have some really good wins @Boston, @ OKC, @ Minny. BTW, Drummond was a beast tonite...dominated Horford.

Always liked Drummond. Tobias Harris is also very good but I think Bradley really solidified that team.

Marvin Bagley has simply dominated his way into the number 1 pick. I dont think anything else can be said. Aayton hasnt done anything wrong but Begley is unreal.

As of right now..the East has a better record than the West. The Knicks are tied in the W/L record with the Wiz for 8th place. The Jazz is in 8th place in the West with a losing record at 10 and 11.

I think the balance of power has shifted.

It shifted last season too .. East had the majority of winning teams .. this season NY Detroit and Philly stepping up their performance 2 or 3 notches for some playoff action.
Philly 76ers ROY Simmons performance is 100% OldSchool Larry Bird/Magic Johnson .. all-around rookie super-star

So True .. Bagley n Carter Jr own the paint in the NCAA .. Duke will not be the underdog in final 4 this season
