Don't forget...Bullock shot 56% from 3. Payton scored 14 with 7 assists and 8 rebounds a plus 11. Randle a triple double.
Knox 14 points in 16 minutes and a plus 14. But Franks 16 minutes made the difference?
Miller figured this out last year as well.
Frankie's game adds chemistry. He shuts down their offense and opens up ours.
Its a pattern - not absolute but indicative.
It’s not hard to see that Frank had a huge impact on defense.... also Knox only had 6 pts he was a plus 14 although tibs pulled him for bad behavior in each half .
Gotta agree with Hofstra on this one. Frank didn’t really stand out in this one(That one jumper he hit was beautiful). Would like to finally see him be in a position where he can play WITH a quality PG over having to play PG himself. But the roster demands it at this moment.
Frank’s offense sucked last night but again he helped a lot on defense taking away baseline away from Garland. The cavs players had a much tougher time penetrating to the basket anytime Frank was on the floor

It just is what it is with Frank. He’s never going to be consistent on offense he will look good one night like he did against the bucks and then last night neither he nor RJ could put the ball in the ocean but at least they both defended well

Frank was OK. Thibs was asked about him in the post game. Thibs said Frank played great, played to his strengths (defense) and really helped them. Frank was NOT the key to the victory. We had 2 guys playing well and everyone else was shit. Randle and Bullock were the only guys doing any heavy lifting. What made the win great imo was seeing the guys just keep grinding and defending and attacking and eventually in the 4th we hit big shot. Payton obv had a GREAT 4th qtr and RJ also chimed in with some key buckets. This was Randle's game. Cle had no answer for his performance.

Yeah not Frankie best performance, but he’s needs consistent minutes ( as per end of last season ). Will be interesting to see what a backcourt of Frankie and IQ can produce upon his return.

Hey I am okay with that. Keep Frank as a role player. Depending on the price. It's just all the Frank "homer" threads are just hilarious. Reminds me of all the Baker type threads that captivated the cult. Same ones that say "Meh" to some that have been producing and are actually key players yet applaud Frank for making a jump shot like it's the second coming. Feel it puts unfair pressure on the kid. Feel that has already started with Quick. Who has yet to play a full game.
When Frankie is not in games, Knicks have trouble staying in the game.

Problem with frank once he get a chance the kid injured too much first was sore achiles after 9 month of no training camp and sprain knee know. The injuries are one main reason he can't get on the court.
