Lance and frank do absolutely nothing on offense, the knicks are 3 on 5 on offense when those 2 are in the game.
bucks shot a red hot 65% against the starters in the first half.
Then you have wild man Baker, his reckless play will land him on the injury list, it's just a matter of when. Broken nose, busted lip, dislocated shoulder, I mean damn bro, love the effort, but he's a little nutso
I say bench lance or frank(not both) and add dotson to the starting line up.
Is Mitch still Hurt?
Its the opposite. Since Fizdale has been encouraging Kanter to shoot more 3s, he's drifted out near the arc. Thats where he's getting the ball now, which sidelines Kanter's post game.
As I said in the gamethread, one of the benefits of getting Kanter the ball in the paint with his back to the basket, is getting defenders into foul trouble.
I understand Fizdale wants Kanter to help space the squad, make himself a 3pt threat. At the same time, as Fizdale pointed out himself, Kanter's post game skills are rare, best to make use of it now and then IMO. Gives the defense one more thing to worry about, to counter.
