Enes Kanter wrote:This is my rookie. This is my team. This is my organization. I cannot just let him disrespect him like that,” Enes Kanter said Sunday afternoon after practice in Westchester. “I think Frank’s doing an unbelievable job. Every day, he’s just working really hard to become a really good one. I just think it’s going to be a process. He’s doing an unbelievable job on the court, off the court, taking care of his body.”

“But I don’t care who (it is), I just cannot let anyone disrespect my family like that,” Kanter continued. “Because when I play for an organization, I see my teammates and that organization like a family. And I don’t care. It doesn’t matter if it’s LeBron or whoever it is, I cannot just let him disrespect him like that because the coaches, the GMs, the president, this organization knows what they’re doing. So that’s why I was kind of pissed that he said that, because, I mean, come on, man. That’s a rookie. You cannot just say anything like that about him.

Kristaps Porzingis wrote:“I don’t know why he made those comments,” said Porzingis, who is third in the NBA in scoring at 30.4 points per game. “But all I can say is we love Frank. We’re happy with him. He’s doing a great job. He’s playing great and he’s doing what he’s supposed to. I would not change Frank for anybody. Simple.”

Frank Ntilikina wrote:In life, people can think whatever they want,” Ntilikina said. “However, it's not gonna affect us and me. So whatever is said, whatever people think, me and the team are just being focused on what we're doing every day to improve and just to make us better.”

Jeff Horncek wrote:“He’s not afraid of competition. He’s not afraid of the big moment. He’s just a player. He knows how to play the game, and he enjoys it. He’s 19 years old. He’s going to get better and better as the years go on. But we love what he does.

Love it. Lebron has no clue on winning, just Nike to prop his ass :-)

Tomorrow's game should be playoff intensity. Lebron disses Frank. The cave need a win. We are trying to prove we are for real. The game is at msg. It should be a war.

You need guys like Kanter and O'quinn in every team. They may have flaws but they really seem like team guys. Camaraderie,chemistry between players, team spirit cannot be overestimated. Whatever sports you've been playing, at whichever level, the best memories you hold are when you had that special group of people around whom you felt good.

I really hope so. Garden will be crazy pumped. We need a win also. Knicks need to keep up the good play at home and log some wins before we go on these brutal road trips.

Knicks fans everywhere would rejoice if Frank picked this game to notch his first dunk, even if LeBron isnt defending. Embarrassing the Cavs would be nice too.

Glad to see his teammates rally round him. I hope Frank rewards their loyalty with some smart, but aggressive play tonite.
