Yeah..They played with poise to close out Washington...KP and Grant isn't aren't ready yet..

Both KP and Grant looked a little shook up tonight from the get-go. Not really sure why. They looked confident enough during the previous 2 games.

Did not see Porzingis being "shook up," Not sure what game you were watching...honestly.

Grant is too deferential on offense...has to take the shot when it is there.

yeah ... holfresh just likes picking on him. I have no idea what they expect from him. He took 6 shots and hit 3 of them. He also played some really good defense. Made many smart plays. He does not hold the ball at all which makes him a really good team player.

...As a former teacher, though, I'm more upset/surprised about his use of "isn't" instead of "aren't."

I love Gallo but I would like to see Afflalo for a few games. Not ready to make decisions based on three games. I have always liked Afflalo. Love Galloway. Glad they are both Knicks. Balanced lineups. Whatever gets the wins.

I am not a big afflalo fan and he def looks like he is on the decline. Also, we should really keep his mins low.

Galloways defensive intensity is off the charts. We really need that out of the gate.

I think that the jose experiment should be over after tonight and at list fisher benched him and did not bring him back.

I said from the get-go. He looked a little shook. He wouldn't impose his will towards the basket, he took off too early for a dunk and had to adjust with bad results, got knocked to the floor by a much smaller guy. That's what I saw. A little shook up. Not criticizing the guy, so relax. Just calling it like I saw it. It happens. He's a rookie. No biggie.

made a couple of rookie plays does not mean shook. that kid does not look like he gets shook

Yes, i notice KP & Lopez are learning from O'Quinn every game .. the first half of each game KP & Lopez are lost, in the 2nd half of the game they step out of a phone-booth

It's hard when they are constantly helping Jose after his man blows by him... But yes they defiantly turn it up in the second half... KP really controlled the paint defensively in the second half you know you have a presence when John wall is settling for mid range jumpers when he sees you in the paint... Way to de up

Not a knock on Galloway but he along with DW, KOQ & LT form a phenomenal bench

Wasup, no hard feelings ...

KP will stay n play shookup throughout his rookie season .. Gortat, Nene, and Gooden are not lightweights
The same goes with Grant being shookup catching 2 early fouls vs Wall, Beal, Session

Yeah, I suppose. I just always assume 'rookie plays' are on account of being shook.

he needs to feel the game and see what works and what does not. He has a lot to learn and this kid is learning on the fast track.

to me, he looks like he plays with the calmness and brains of a smart vet. watch how fast the ball moves with him. Excellent and quick decisions. That is really hard to teach especially to rookies. You can see that euro experience.

Oh yeah, I agree. I think he's going to do very good things for us. I like the way he started a couple of games kind of slow (I'm including pre-season games here) but didn't let that affect him too much and then came out strong in the 2nd half.

I'm very relaxed , but making some poor decisions is not "shook up" for me. Perhaps "indecisive" would have been a better word, even though I don't think it was applicable for the most part.

He does have to be more assertive going to the basket...would agree with that, but I thought he was more nervous shooting at the Garden, the other night. Team also needs to look for him early so he can establish a rhythm with some midrange Js. One or two shots went in and out, I think, too.

Wizards seemed to go small- Humphries did nothing against Porzingis. I was surprised when they took him out, but Fisher seemed to know what he was doing tonight based on the results. I actually wanted KP in instead of Lopez, to be honest, but things worked out fine.

Lopez' value of managing the defense is underrated. And that huge block at the end!

Lopez will never look great but he does so many things that are not obvious. He needs to shoot much better though
