Amazing. I just cant emphasize enough how badly I wanted Frank on ESPN morning highlights. I was very disappointed in him these past few games and it looks like he's picked himself up again at a time where all of our PGs were out.

Frank's points were the difference in the game. (Of course, you could say that about every Knick who scored )

This is what makes it even more frustrating when he has those **** games because if he can be just an AVERAGE offensive player, he can be on any NBA rotation he wants. You just cant teach the defense he plays.

There are so many things I am enjoying about this team starting with the leadership. Starting with Thibs who's been amazing and Randle a worthy captain who's also been amazing. They are well coached, they play super hard and they play for each other. With no fans or fans just returning they are literally playing for each other.

I think what I love about Thibs is he doesnt seem to have a dog house. I mean after Frank's last 2 games nobody would have balked if Thibs went with Harper. Instead Frank was huge for us. We needed everything he gave. We have seen Thibs give guys the quick hook.. then the next game they are back.

NBA is tough! I wouldnt be surprised if Wash makes the playoffs. Beal/Russ are cooking and they beat the Jazz last night. Every game is tough, and they all count the same.

Julius was really amazing. First half dishing and 2nd half swishing.

Sure you can teach it. It's just barely anybody in this league wants to run and keep their hands up all the time. Takes energy away from the offensive side. Frankie is a throwback to the Havlicek/Augmon model. Doesn't let people blow by. Gets a hand up every time, no matter who he's guarding. And never stops moving.

Maybe because Dad Melo didn't have the kids Captain Randle has? It sure is nice to be able to kick out to the likes of Burks, Bullock and the newly minted 40% 3 pt killer RJ, instead of hoping on Aaron Affalo, Jose Calderon and Langston Galloway.

Same here. He is a decent player all around with a defense that can reach elite when he needs to. Just be aggressive even on bad nights. It’s ok as he is breaking from his insecurities, but just keep being aggressive.

OMG Berman went there hahahahahaha:

https://nypost.com/2021/03/19/frank-ntilikina-gives-point-guard-short-knicks-a-big-lift/

With Rose making a Garden appearance in spectacles and still out on COVID-19 protocols, Payton nursing his lingering hamstring strain, Austin Rivers nursing a lingering bruised ego and Quickley out with a bum ankle, Thibodeau was down to Ntilikina. And Burks.
