sad. Thats all you come away with after that game.
I freaking loved that game and rooted for Toronto who willed itself to win that game. Gritty defense won it.
I wasn’t thinking of any knick just enjoyed a great game
Would Kyle Lowery be the same player with Melo/Knicks and lasted two contracts? Put yourself back in that moment and ask why was Toronto considering moving him at that time?

So the #1 for Frank should have been traded for Lowry and should have also been used to pick DSJ I mean Donovan Mitchell. Got it.

Trying to keep my 20/20 hindsight sharp.

I enjoyed the game, but every time i watch him i just think of our pg's over the last 6 seasons...smh

It wasn't to pick on Frank because he didn't asked to be pick there, but watching these playoffs..we need to level up badly at the pg position, it's not even an option.

Many suns will rise and set until the draft and trades can occur. Internal growth can happen as well.
Until than you might as well try to behold the beauty of the game as played by others. It was awesome that those two teams were punch drunk and then starting raining in three’s. They made the three throws. Tatum hits a clutch three to keep game i reach. In the end defense won the game. Thats where you should top and appreciate Frank. Leadership can come in different forms. Defense is also a demonstrated quality.
We all agree we need more talent. WE all agree some or all of our favorite yoots might not pan out.
I don’t dislike either boston or Toronto and was just plain enjoying the game. Lowery was awesome. Sorry he brings you pain.

Amazing journey for Lowry- he used to be a playoff choker every year, then last year he became clutch- great ending to his career. No way we would have been patient enough with him to reach this point even if we had traded for him

the choker label was b/c he was joined by the hip with derozan - a huge net negative. if you look at lowry's playoff clutch stats and performance in elimination or clinching games, he's been phenomenal. the difference is that fans are now seeing him w/o demar and on a good defensive team, so now all his positives are really on display. but ask any raptors fan - lowry has been the heart & soul of the team for the whole "we the north" era. i like derozan, he was a consummate teammate, but he was such a negative in the playoffs that it wasn't even fair.

and those stats don't reflect this playoff run.

The Knicks have been discussing a deal with the Raptors centered around a package featuring Raymond Felton, Metta World Peace and either Iman Shumpert, Tim Hardaway Jr. or a 2018 first-round pick.

were we patient with THJ and shumpert, Lowry would have been an upgrade over felton, considering we miss the playoffs by 1 game that yr, maybe there would be no need for phil

sola's report lends more credence to this, with his source saying Dolan "didn't want to get fleeced again" and that a deal was ready to go before the owner nixed it. Dolan was also reportedly upset that details of the proposed deal went public

Dolan lost again without even making the trade,,lol
