We are up by 30 and Thibs is playing Rose with stiches over his eye while Frank rides the pine.. makes no sense at all.

Against a 14-34 Piston team, plus the end of a back to back .. The 2 rookies plus Knox & Frank should've receive 24 minute tonight .. BUM coaching for the growth of a young-core team !!!

Don't know if I've ever seen a Knicks game in which they were up by 40 (at any point).

Great game. Great to see Thibs sit the starters. Rose took stiches over the eye and came back in the game. Pelle dislocated his finger, stayed in the game and had 2 blocks in a row. This is a gustsy squad. Pelle probably earned an extension tonite.

Great game by Payton. Shows how good this team can be when the starting PG is playing well.

Glad to see Knox draining 3s and smiling. Not easy getting benched. Obi wasnt as dynamic tonite, but he's looking more comfortable with the ball, with each passing game.

The ball movement was definitely better tonite.

Dennia Smith jr looked very pedestrian. He doesnt look explosive at all. Maybe one of his injuries was worse than billed. He's in shape, so it isnt conditioning.

I'm happy for the players on the roster, Pelle was surprise & prepared for the 3 min performance "dynamic"
Thibs first time running a 10+ Man rotation in regular season.

Knicks pounded the Pistons so hard that they made Randle's wife blush

It finally happened! Payton started passing the damn ball and we drilled the Pistons. And how about Thibs finally sitting the starters?

Can we face DSJ and Wayne Ellington every game?

Dennis missed 12 games with the back issue. Not sure what it is specifically. Maybe surgery can alleviate the pain but limit elite athletic explosiveness? Kid is not a “bum”, he is limited and his body failed him.

It's our great offensive schemes and Thibs rotation management!
