I agree. He shouldn't play more than 20 minutes.

yep, caught him off guard and his feet was not set. Grant showed a good understanding of knowing what the defense expected the knicks to do and him countering it.

This team has some hustle. I like it.

Interesting lineup out there for a minute:

Grant
Afflalo
Melo
DWill
Seraphin

that was not a good pass

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

I like him--I wanna see him put together more consistent play on both ends. He's showing it tonight. I also wanna see what TA could give us. He hasn't been given a shot yet.

Melo passing out to Afflalo with one second left on the clock. Last two years there is no one on the team he would've trusted to pass out to with clock that low.

I didn't want him to make that pass either. Imagine if KP were getting his minutes tonight? Knicks would look really really good.

Not sure if Thomas has hit a J the entire pre-season.

A few good defensive possessions for Lance, to be fair. I just don't understand what he does on offense.

A little too much iso Melo. Guys are just looking to give him the ball and get out of his way--like Sasha right there. Ball's gotta move better.

Thomas has been in a slump but his D has been good. I'm not worried about him. Just waiting for KP to get back so we can see the starting lineup get going.

I thought that was one of his strong points? Crzy's right though--he's competing defensively at least.
