    OKC looked better than I expected.

    They didnt look good, but they showed flashes.

    Hard to really judge them until they a better team, if they can keep this up where all three stars score 22+ and westbrook gets his triple doubles, their personalities wont clash.

    BUT I do think Tim hardaway will be fine. He'll average 16-18 ppg but outside him and porzingis idk who is putting points up

    Nobody. The Knicks arent supposed to be a good team this year. They are supposed to develop the core of KP, Hernangomez, Frank, and Hardaway together, hope Hornacek shows that he can be a good coach, and get another lottery pick.

    The issue with last night is none of that happened. For some reason Hernangomez didnt play until garbage time, and Frank only played a few minutes before garbage time.

    I know what the thinking is, their thinking is to play experienced players like Kanter and Oquinn more and try to sneak in the playoffs in a weak east.

    As soon as we all thought the Knicks were finally embracing the rebuild, they showing that they not.

    Let the young core fight to get us in the playoffs, and if they dont, which chances are they wont, atleast they get valuable experience.

    Frank is the best defender at the guard position for us already just based off size and athleticism. You can tell he has trouble knowing where to be and gets lost on defense quickly, but thats why they should play him a lot and in 20-30 games when he starts adjusting to the speed of the NBA, he will be the best point guard on the Knicks, not cause hes that good, but cause Knicks guards are ? garbage.

    And also, get Ron Baker the ? off my team man, he shouldnt even be a towel boy on this team.

    Hardaway was perfect for the hawks cuz they emphasizs ball movement.

    Imagine him on the spurs replacing danny green.

    Every time I watch the lakers randle crashing into players getting charges he has to average at least 2 offensive fouls a game.

    randle was -25 worst out of anybody who played duke trash

    Thats about to be zion williamson 5 yrs from now. Crazy how randle was compared to c webb in high school

    - Thon Maker not improving.

    What makes you say this? I love this kids potential this year and in the future.

    edit- misread your post about the cavs.

    One of my biggest takeaways was how passive and unaggressive Lonzo was....he really let Beverly bully and rough him up without even attempting to stand up for himself.. ur attitude and demeanor also carries a lot

    I mean it's his first REAL game in the league plus when you growing up I bet lonzo was like beverley sucks but when you actually get in the league you find how good these guys really are. That was the wrong PG to have your first game against

    I don't think you should read too much into it

    Hardaway would suck because he doesn't play defense and had a ? shot selection. So most likely unless he changed he would be riding the pine next to Udoka

    Green works because he can take criticism, plays defense, knows his lane and stays in it. The 1st game this season he did do a little more than usual though. Maybe his handle is getting a bit better.
