I bet if it was Melo who didn't fight through a screen and got benched most everyone on this board would have applauded. But because its Frank, people have a problem. What happened to holding EVERYONE accountable for a missed assignment? Burke was benched most of the 4th quarter for leaving a Buck player wide open in the corner. Burke was responsible for keeping us in the game during the 3rd but still got benched for missing a defensive assignment and ain't nobody said **** about that. But since Frank got benched, everybody got a problem. Pat Riley would have benched him. So would Pop. I bet Frank will learn from this especially during the film session.
Community pick.
Frank did well. Wrote about him making faster decisions, especially when it comes to attacking, and he certainly did that. As pleased as I was with Frank's performance, its the ability to sustain this level of aggressiveness that remains to be seen.
Agree its no big deal he got benched. Like you said, accountability.
In the first half Kanter was getting the ball were he likes it, in and around the paint, and got rolling. Second half was getting the ball too far out.
Most important of all, we got the moral victory. Looked like it was slipping away for a while, but we pulled through. Seriously, I liked the effort. Knicks used their youth, to play GS's game, and they had trouble keeping up at times.
In the 4th, they slowed the game down (like in the playoffs) and picked us apart. Wouldnt have been so easy with a healthy KP, and Knox. Im encouraged.
