Bench carried us tonight. I hope Payton sits another game, Frank needs minutes. He is a rotation player.

When our shooters actually hit their 3's we are a dangerous team.

Good win tonight. Quickley had an insane comeback game, Frank looked good, RJ looked much better, and we shot 53% from 3.

I wonder how gregarious Haliburton will be after this game. IIRC he had plenty to say after the Kings win in Sacramento.

Knicks win Mavs lose. And Frank played.
TPercy @ 2/25/2021 10:00 PM
I thought Barnes and Fox were quite impressive. Hield is a different story...they messed up picking him over Bojan. Now his contract is untreadable.

Knicks look better without Payton. They are just so much more dynamic with rose and Quickley playing all the PG minutes and if they need the extra defense than Ntilikina can provide that.

Leon Rose !!!

Man no Payton, just like we want, and it looked great.

Yes Frank !! Like rose starting, and quick running the second unit freely.

Frank has a serious opportunity to get in on that second unit it’s time to become consistent, and earn those minutes. He’s a defensive stud who this year has shown that he can hit the open look.

They looked great but it was against a really bad team. It is something worth experimenting with though.

So True .. No Payton and no Rivers tonight ..
Plus Frank need the night after night playing-time to improve his skills, and receive trust from his teammates.
I like Payton, but before the Covid-19 Frank took Payton's starter position.
Frank's defensive presence alongside Quickley's offensive scoring would turn-out to be a tandem threat in Thibs 2nd unit lineup. Nothing against Rose, but I like seeing the rookie IQ leading & calling the shots on the 2nd unit lineup.

What a night!

I really hope we get a more extended look at the Payton-less Knicks. As pointed out above, Rose and Quick benefit from having the ball. Being the PG rotation seems to help them more and might help RJ too.
