I enjoyed the game last nite A LOT!! I see some are furious we "Blew" the lead but aren't leads good?
A big lead against the Cav's is something. Assumption are "We good enough to get it, good enough to hold most of it?"
Damn, that was the Cav's. That was Lebron, Wade, Love and Korver, the 4th leading 3pt shooter in the history of the NBA got hot.
And Frank looked like a rookie on offense.
Was super happy the team did well without KP.
Good teams need to learn how to close out games. Knicks are really not even at that level, so to find yourself up on the Cav's like that was a bit of a mindPhuch for them.
No need to suggest trades this morning or rant on how coach blew it. Guys get tired. Frank might be 19 but the idea is not have him close games tired. Tired means mental mistakes and emotions not as clear!!!
Proud? Well, lets say if not being embarrassed by losing a game, especially one that we had a command on at one point then yeah, "Im proud".
Kp is the man now, they put a beat down on him. He got some nice calls for it, but he missed two key FT's. Does that mean he has to put on 50lbs of muscle or we trade him?
Naw, it just means he knows what to expect down the road and has to learn to deal with it. Dude was no. 2 in the NBA in scoring after a month and he is a target now. We mostly talk about growing into the physical aspect of the game but mentally there is a process too.
Frank had a key turnover spinning in the lane. He looked bad.
Lebron and Wade took over the last 5 min of the game. This is what developing youth looks like. THis is what rebuilding looks like at times. It can be messy at times.
Phil tore it apart. Knicks are now on the upside. Still takes time.
If winning is the only outcome that is acceptable then I feel sorry for those fans. Im not settling, its just a reality.

I'm more ready than proud... these guys haven't really accomplished much. But I am enjoying their effort
