Ultimateknicks.com Forums: Preseason GameThread @ Wiz 10/7: Holy cow I didn't realize first game was tomorrow

Totally disagree...Other than Randle, Knicks need a guard that will play down hill and force the defense to collapse in the paint...As good as Randle, Morris and even Barrett may be, none of them play above the rim as Dennis does. He offers a element that is missing right now. I Payton is okay, but I'd rather roll with DSJ and Frank at the point.

I get what your saying but he tends to hold the ball a little to much. Will he keep everyome involved and most importantly will he play defense

Defensively, the rotations looked sound. If he does his job, he’ll be fine. I saw a lot of drives into the lane end without a shot, and lobs were cut off. DSJ’s ability to elevate should open up the offense a lot

Dennis shared the ball plenty, last year. Many times he would drive and kick only to have teammates clank open corner 3's...We have better shooters this year, so they will benefit from DSJ getting into the paint...The whole team needs to buy in on the defensive end...

That Wiz line up is Sad. I’m gonna be tempered a bit despite my happy we won.
I still have to get used to Morris being a Knick. Not sure which is which or they any different. Same look, same salty personality.
Frank. Good things happen on the floor when he is playing. Just needs to hit like two more shots a game. I liked the drives. Liked he kept shooting.
RJ is not nearly as silkly as McGrady. Is it the Droopy eyes? Or his game that reminds of Tracy?
Randle getting the ball stripped? Maybe I’m over reacting but it was a bad scene.
I liked what I saw from Knox.
Mitch is gonna be a good one. He had a put back dunk on his own shot. It was really quite an athletic feat! He gonna be a good one!!!

Gibson as great. He got his Lance groove!

See, this is an issue already. Barrett is not McGrady yet he kinda looks like him so fans want him to
Be T-Mac. Barrett had a pretty rock solid game last night and there are already people coming up with reasons why he’s not McGrady (which he isn’t) as opposed to talking about what he did.

Its ok, its the first game and our BLue Chip Blue Devil had a monumental third quarter and some excited. I saw what is going to be an up and down season for the rookie but one with promise.
The kid is very strong and a total package. His shot was inconstant in college and at worse he is streaky. HE is 19.
