These kids need to play in order to learn and grow. That's what a rebuild is supposed to be.
I disagree. Frank has been making it hard for the team to be competitive when he has been on the court recently. Willy has not earned minutes. Do you want the coach to emphasize defense and effort and earning minutes? Dotson is playing for the W's tonight.
All I know is that we've been losing a lot recently and losing with our vets playing heavy minutes. My point is if we're going to lose anyway, we might as well play and develop Frank/Willy/Dotson (the future of this team) rather than playing vets like Jack and LT who are not in our long term plans. These kids need to develop.

Frank I agree with you
He is having many Casper nights
Willy I disagree - how about trying 5 straight games for him and seeing the results.

oops, im sorry, can't handle the truth, or are you part of MSG Brass that suggest you shouldn't say anything negative about the team, or maybe your your just elated with our pg situation.
The Non athletic, mid range shooting, never getting to the line, cant shoot 3's, can't defend the 3, can't create off the dribble, can't run..Shht is embarrassing at times.
Reading your constant whining gets on my nerves. Truth is not a issue, bitching is.

Who sits? I don't think you can question Kanter or O'Quinn's work ethic. I also think KP needs a big with him late in the 4th for now.

Glad you didn't question the criticisms. They are accurate. Glad Tim is back but not sure he can overcome some of the deficits on the team on his own.

The disconcerting thing are the moments when Frank has a look, has the best shot available with the shot clock running out. And we get those "one Mississippi, two Mississippi" moments, where Frank does not want to take the shot.
I know some posters dont want to hear this, but the longer this goes on, the more likely it will not change enough to make Frank more than a bench player.

the hope is that he makes the jump in his 2nd season instead of sophomore slump
KP needs a PG with the clout to tell him to get his ass in the paint and get ready to work. Getting thrown to the pavement constantly might have something to do with it. Might be wearing on him. As others alluded to, KP should consider expanding his training staff, bring in some new perspectives on how to come back strong enough not to hit the dirt, every other trip down the floor.
I thought Frank showed some promise early season, but he absolutely sucks. He isn’t aggressive, never looks to push the tempo, can’t get to the rim and has no jump shot. It’s frighting.
KP has been terrible for a good 20 games, his shot selection is atrocious and he’s costing the team out there with his rushed jumpers.

Understand that. Would like to see Frank finish the second half of the season noticeably more aggressive than the first half. Frank has been encouraged by his teammates and coaches to look for his shot more. Dont care if he misses most of them, as long as he stops hesitating.
Apparently Frank said that going against DSJ gave him new found confidence. Then we get two games where he is nowhere to be found.

Definately agree.. Especially down 18 with 3 minutes left. What purpose is playing Jack at that point?

Very scary about Frankie. Looks awful. Still he needs to play.

It’s actually right around the time when they usually hit the rookie wall.
I liked what I saw tonight. Totally different team with THJ. Much more offensive movement. Played a tough team, got boned by the zebras as usual, 1 Free throw in the 1st half?!?, and we were right with them. Definitely opens up our threes having THJ out there and improves our fast breaks. I think we’re gonna get it together these next few games. MN is stacked and we hung with them blow for blow until the 4th when our weird lineup blew it.

yeah that was a positive but the players that will be here long-term (KP and Frank) sucked donkey balls thats whats scaring me. Frank probably should go to the G-league and play 30 minutes
Can't reward awfulness. Some of the kids stink. It is what it is.

Just noticed Melo Should Go and MSG. Don't sweat him, he was part of the rabid anti melo contingent and the pro Phil club. KP AND Frank will eventually be fine but it hurts when Phil's guys struggle so much.

Wow finally someone noticed the obvious acronym and it's one of the smartest people on the board!! How you been HeiHei? Ask yourself and your Phil hating Melissa fan club how you handled Phil speaking the truth about Melo????? I just told the idiot to shut the fukk up, but I am not going to troll him here on the forum for the next forty years.

Oh spare me the “he is a rookie” outcry. If you play like a G leaguer you will get called out for it, especially in the heat of a game. Anything else is intellectual and emotional dishonesty
