Well, no need to discuss the starting PG spot. Who's the backup, Burke?

Great team win for coach Fiz....They played hard shows a lot about our player / coaching development progress.

I think it is going to rotate all year. All of the point guards are capable to playing well and also stinking up the joint. Consistency hasn't been their strong suit.
Exactly. I'm happy for Mudiay but I'm sure there will be rough days too.
I don't think it's going to be that rough. It's like Burke...he's already faced his adversity in Denver. Now he's going to make the most of this opportunity.
Fiz just said Mudiay has his total confidence.

Man Mudiay is playing like a lot of us though he would coming in to the NBA...it goes to show you prospects can’t be labeled the kids only 22. This would be his rookie year if he went to college for 4 years..

Fiz has him rolling in the right direction! I’m happy we can see the confidence players have in the coach..

Now let’s get our other ex lotto pick going in super Mario... I like that he’s in the starting unit, he helps push the tempo... he needs to get out of his shooting slump, and if he can we will see him blossom as well.

If we play the kids and win, great. I hate playing guys who won't be on the team and win meaningless games.

Well, if you win enough "meaningless" games they become "meaningful" games.

Everyone on the team is being evaluated, you play the guys that give you the best chance to win every night and have earned it.

Fizdale wised up the last few games and have done that,

it’s still about building the kids. It’s ok to do both
And part of "building the kids" is learning how to win. Every young guy on this roster has been given the opportunity to earn minutes. Key words EARN MINUTES.

The problem is Vonleh, Mudiay, Burke, and Trier are not under contract next year and they are playing the best ball on the team, it sucks

Then what do you have a problem with (other than if you're on board with tanking)? He plays the young guys in every game. If they are productive they get minutes, if not they sit.

Mudiay and zo will be restricted and I think come Game 49 zo will be locked up..Vonleh is still a project,struggles with consistency. I see us resigning him unless he truely breaks out. Tonight, got in early foul trouble and failed to make a impact...

Regardless Vonleh is a good player... he should be apart of our future plans esp as kp’s back up ...

So first, congrats Knicks! I checked the box score early in the 3rd quarter and was expecting an L. Lo and behold, the Knicks went on a killer run and held on.

Kanter is a special player - and may just be some kind of statistical outlier. How do you call a 15/11 player a net-negative player? (yeah, tough to say that on a 21pt/26rbd night!) That's like the work of 2 Charles Oakley's.


Mudiay has had a couple of good games and the media (and some fans) are talking like he's a changed man. (Okay, mostly the media) I'm still a skeptic, but as a Knick fan, I'm both an optimist and sadist.

To level set, it's not like he's been a complete dud his entire career. He's had some really impressive games, including this one vs the Knicks on December 17, 2016. (yep, almost 2 years ago) The issue is that the only thing consistent about him is his inconsistency throughout his career. I'm rooting for this "elite shape" version of Mudiay to turn into a capable NBA starter.

Sucks for who?

For us, none are under contract. Even if they play well all it does is drive up value taking away cap space for a max player. Burke we have early bird rights on so we can keep him without any negative consquences to the cap. Trier? not sure why a contract wasn't worked out immediatly like Robinson. Now we have a problem. Mudiay will probably have to be cut for cap space. Vonleh no rights. Not sure why we didn't include a team option in Vonlehs deal

From a fans view....watching the game from your couch....yes it's a problem. But...

Is it a problem for management? No....this gives them more trading opportunities.
Is it a problem for the toots? No....gives them more confidence and teaching them how to impact the game.

If I'm one of those guys.....I would be worried about leaving Fiz.....Hes the type of coach that rewards effort with playing time. It would be smart on the players that's on the rise to sign a short deal or long term cap friendly deal.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

I think we prefer our long term contract/blue chip yoots be playing the best. Im not speaking for JMPASQ but that's how I interpreted his statement.
I don't think "It sucks", but I understand the statement.

UK fans don't like good players on the roster. They just like the 15th man on the bench that hustles, anyone 20 and under who they dream will turn out to be the next MJ and over achievers going through their 15 minutes of fame.

No doubt they will be raving about some kid or Robin Lopez type next year while Kanter is averaging a double double somewhere else.

Honestly we won because of our rebounding. Not to discount the effort etc but rebounds were THE reason we won
