I like the way he played tonight for the most part. He took a couple of dumb shots, but he made some real nice plays too, including passing and on defense, and he really can put the defense on its heels with his penetration ability.

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I need another shot of whiskey because I am going to agree with oohah. Francis isnt a cancer on this team, and he is trying to do what the coaches ask. If he can gives us 15 minutes a game I will be happy. I would much rather have him on the floor than Nate.

I wasn't crazy about the trade but if Francis is healthy and happy, he will play well.

It's great having a back up where there is no drop off, and a recent all star too. I like it. Mardy can take over in two years. Hopefully him and Balkman get some minutes... Balkman this year, Mardy next.

the only reason he's seeing minutes right now it to showcase him for a potential trade... he can still make some plays, but you will notice that he makes some very bad decisions w/the ball trying to pass the ball as he leaves his feet & ends up turning the ball over, oftentimes in a big spot when we can't afford to turn the ball over... either Nate or Francis need to go, cuz they fill the same role pretty much on this team as a backup for Marbs.

he is very doog backup PG/SG for 15-20 min if helthy and accepted this role.
I guess he has no choise anyway.
At times zo he is still trying to do to much and go back to his old self. If he will break this habit he will be good secondary asset for anybody...
But because of his price tag really only for us...

I do like Francis being on the floor when Steph is NOT on the floor... But they should not be in there at the same time.

Francis has always been one of the better guards on this team at executing a nice simple entry pass to the bigs. Certainly much better than Nate.

He never was peg leg he was just a cry baby whining because things were'nt going his way. Some here were being lied to and trashing him in the process. Now everything is all good.

Francis: "God put me here for a reason, tonight it was to help the Knicks win."

That is hilarious!
