Baseline was open and he still turned toward the middle for the contested mid-range jumper. Yeah, that's the toughness the Knicks needed for the next few years The man is soft!

Hakeem could do something with his post game. Would be great if Rose talked to the Rocket's new owner, got him to let Hakeem run one of his big man camps, so our bigs could attend. Would give up a second rounder for that I knew Hakeem was a great teacher. Was still surprised at how good Amare's poat game looked after a few weeks in Houston. Considering Stoudemire was in his 30s at the time, I believe.

This is the kind of talent the FO should be seeking out. Not necessarily adding new staff. But finding retired players like Hakeem who would be willing to impart their knowledge, for a fee.

Is LJ working with the bigs? When he had no more lift, could'nt play above the rim. LJ transformed himself late in his career into an elite post player. Could post up 7fters.

Hey! Derrick Jones started the game! And he's actually listed as 6'5"

Too bad Luka can't make those around him any better.

Frank loves playing against the Mavericks and was a significant reason we won those 2 games last season. I better not see him asleep on the bench while Elf and Rose play the entire game

Might have something to do with Timmy as well. Depth chart is what it is.
I’d like to see him d’ up Luca. Thats what he does best.

Frank’s the only guy on the roster that can defend Luka even remotely effectively

If frank was that good defensively, he would be a defensive coaches wet dream, and a firm spot in the rotation.

Frank is very good defensively, that is easy to see with or without a coach's opinion. I do not understand why Thibs does not play him more. There are a lot of things I do not understand with Thibs, such as why he wears out his best players with long minutes.

Perhaps the thing with Frank is that he may not have the stamina and the physical resilience to play long minutes in this league. So he exerts himself 100% on the defensive end, where he knows he excels, while saving himself on the offensive end. And if given longer minutes, he wears down quickly and gets injured.

Yes indeedy, every NBA player knows taking zero shots per game is the best way to have the stamina and resilience to be able to defend. Plus I hear Thibs has them pump cleaner air onto the defensive end of the floor.

4th year in the NBA and we're talking about a 22 year old who doesn't have the wind to shoot the ball.

Hey, maybe that's why Melo sucked so bad at defense! Hiya, NALOD!!

Sure sign of getting over the breakup trauma
