Lavine blew by Dotson...
There's no excuse for fouling on that play, put your hands staright up and stand your ground
One of the most incredibly frustrtaing games to watch
At all costs, preserve the TANK!!!

YEah that seems to bethe ONLY plan
I missed most of the game....caught the multiple over time plays. What happened to playing Frank and Timmy down the stretch.
I like that our guys battled. They were sloppy but fought hard.
I am very concerned about our coach. I’ll be patient but honestly think he has no idea what he’s trying to establish on offensive end — as in near zero

True, he shouldn't have fouled, butIm sure if he blew by Mudiay, that would have been l
Pointed out

Tim was hurt, Frank played awful, Mudiay was playing well until the very last play..

I think most are very happy with mudiay. Frank had a tough game and mudiay stepped up

Sure it would, can'tr let anyone blow by you with a second left on the clock. You have to defend it, make it hard for him and force the miss or at least make him earn it. He had defensive position on Zach so there would be no blow by, I don't know if he lost track of the clock but it was bad foul.
Anyway bad game too many people played badly but Frank was brutal. Kanter kept us in the game Trier's offense and Vonleh's defense and Boobies helped.
Mudiay definitely contributed as well, but it was out of control helter-skelter type ball from him.
honestly, what were people seeing in Mudiay? the fact that he made his first 3 of the season? was there some assist i missed that was special?
he threw away a couple of easy passes and had multiple bone head plays on D, not just the last one.
it may have been his best game as a knick but that's more of an indictment
game ball should have been shared by Kanter and Trier and honorable mention to Dot. I am pulling for Frank but he looked like a lost puppy tonight.
Was Frank playing SG tonight? That is what NBA.com has him listed as.

See now someone who at least looks like he could turn into a respectable backup. With Mudiay, the longer he plays, the more he turns the ball over. Eventually he started coughing up the ball, but it looked like he was holding down things longer than usual.
Most minutes he's played in a while. Not saying the Knicks should make any long term commitments, but in the short term, Mudiay might be a decent stop gap if he can cut down on the late game turnovers. That might get some interest.

I agree, he made a few shots and that was it. Hezonja did the best job of bringing the ball up the floor. Boobies doesn't seem to get much love on this board and I know the sad reason why - He wasn't some sexy "lottery pick reclamation project" and he is not a "borderline all star". He had 18 points to Trier's 21 and he also had Zach Lavine on the other end for most of the night.

I think he is going through the point where he is completely unsure what he is supposed to do. Starting of at SF messed him up and now it looks like h thinks he needs to shoot 3s, when he really should still be trying to take it to the hoop. Either way sad game from him, hope he bounces back soon
Waiting to hear about tbe stat that cancels out Kanter's game.
At least Trier stepped up as the game went late. He's the real deal. LaVine was the best player on the floor and took over the game, but Trier is learning how to handle the pressure of being a go-to-guy and after taking his lumps early, he responded.
First and foremost, all of the PG's on our team at this point and time are backups. .with that said, Mudiay did more than just make some shots...he pushed the tempo which lead to some early offensive plays and baskets that our other pg's do not make...he made some really good passes as well ..did he make mistakes? Absolutely! But What do you expect from a back up? He also rebounded well...he played the point tonite better than any of our other backups played all year. .
Right now, Fiz’s coaching seems like a video game you are starting to play and are still locked off certain elements because you are still in one of the first levels. Is it the tank? Right now it seems a competent offensive playbook is out of our reach, and it is either a great strategy to see what you have from your own young team, or a worrisome trend that might come back to haunt us in the future.
And it might be starting to affect players. The last two games in particular, the offense has been brutal. Pathetic, honestly. The fact we have kept close speaks for our fighting nature as much as of the terrible level of the opponent.
And then, the really sucky part of rebuilding begins. This is the part that could start to break a young player: trying so hard and have it constantly turn into an L. We might like it for the draft, but they will get more and more frustrated. And it sucks because they are a good young bunch. But so far, half of their losses have been due to their inexperience, but a worrisome other half is due to a really lacking offensive gameplan.
I know we are a bad team and we did what we should, which is to lose. But this might feel like the first true game we should’ve won considering how bad the Bulls are and how inspiring, even in defeat, we have played. This one was a lost chance. We won’t get many chances during the season to give this young crew a taste of victory and tonight not only the players sucked, but coaching did so as well. Unless it’s part of the plan, which would still make little sense.
