Happens to be one of our best defensive games in a long while.

Still haven't seen this game. Damn you League Pass issues. Anyways...

Glad for Tarik. He's been great this year. Gotta give him a lot of credit especially after barely even playing last year. Talk about being ready for your opportunity. He came in prepared to play.

I actually thaught he'd be starting over Moz by mid November. But Moz actually started off the season playing really well, but since has completely fallen off. Happy Luke finally took the plunge and put both Tarik and Ingram in the starting line-up. Like they (and we) deserve.

The big part of Russell taking the next step is knowing when not to throw passes than when to throw them because he's capable of getting the perfect timing on passes like these.

That's what you call a potential assist

Between this and a few other wide open jumpers Young and others missed off D-Lo passes, Russell should have had almost 10 assists. Which would have been amazing considering he only played 20 minutes. I thought the way he pushed the ball was fine. I thought he overpassed a few times and wasn't aggressive enough coming off screen and roll.

I'm not sure we should be making any conclusions off of this game. NY is in a serious funk and looked to be just going through the motions out there. I wasn't overly impressed with any of our team given that fact. There was no one who stood out and no one who stunk overall.

It was curious that Russell only shot a few times. Coming off his previous 3 games where he led the team by far in field goal attempts. This is a better role for him overall IMHO.

Don't worry bud... I doubt anyone is finalizing any "conclusions" off of this one game alone.

Plus, there's still a lot of games to go. More than enough to bash Russell on.

You should watch the games on your phone, that's what I do, it works perfectly... I want to watch it on my playstation or my laptop but it never works... Phone works perfectly (NBA League Pass)

Everyone knows you think little of Russell... So can you please stop... its actually getting really annoying, we understand!!! You don't have to keep mentioning it multiple times in every post. We hear you.

So where did I "bash" Russell? Sorry if I poked your bubble in the other thread. Feel free to overemphasize every completed pass and made shot. Use "dominant, "beast" and "top 3" this and that when he does something right all you want. Continue to use his age as a stop gap for true debate on his adjustment to the NBA.

I've never called him a bust or even close to it. In fact I've said he's the best pick we could have made safely at that position. Just because I don't think he's going to be a main guy when we are relevant again is your issue it seems. As I've said before If I'm wrong... I'm wrong. It won't be the first time nor the last.

I'll comment as I have before. Read it or pass on it.

Please highlight the text in my post where I showed how little I think of Russell. I said this was a better Russell than the one that led the team in shots the previous 3 games. It seems you missed the entire meaning of the post. My point was that NY was mailing that game in and we won. We should have won. Russell didn't shoot 13 shots in the first half and was much better at distributing which is where it talent lies at this point. That's it dude..... If you want me to include what you think I'm going to say please PM me first so I can get it right next time.

First off.. I've never used any of those words to describe Russell. I think you might be extremely over exaggerating here.

Second off... I'm sorry. I really was just messing with you man. Didn't realize it would strike such a nerve.

Whether I agree with it or not, you're absolutely right... Your opinion is your opinion. How you feel about Russell's future is your prerogative.

Under that same logic though, the "Dominant", "Top 3", "Beast", and "Age as a stop gap" people also have a right to their opinion. I think it's clear we both disagree on Russell. That wasn't meant as a troll though.

emoji's help.... we're good. No worries. My thoughts on Russell are not complete... just what I see to this point.

[Spens1]

that wasn't even us looking that good, the knicks are just terrible.

In saying that How the hell did nick young manage to chuck 14 shots up in 21 minutes. I know he isn't efficient but 35% from F.G is terrible. Same goes for Clarkson, he also wasn't great shooting wise and for a guy who is a P.G essentially he has done a poor job of passing the ball. Deng is just a scrub, send him to Minnesota ASAP for cap relief.

Black is a beast, a near double-double in 20 minutes. Like i said, between him and Zubac we have our starting C rotation. Speaking of Zubac, 10 points in 17 minutes. He is a huge steal in this draft.

Russell went from superstar to scrub this game for some reason? Like i said, consistency is a huge issue with him right now, i just wish he could remain somewhat consistent and not randomly have huge dips in form.

Randle and Williams were sensational. Randle with limited minutes did a great job and Williams got 22 points in 25. He was clearly feeling it tonight.

Still was Mozgov injured, if not good work by Walton for not playing him. Much better rotation at center without Mozgov there to stink it up.

How was Russell a scrub?

Problem with watching it on the iPhone is the inability to fast forward. Are you able to fast forward on your phone because I am unable to currently.
