We've never been good on back to backs, and Denver runs their offense through Jokic, who's gonna be guarded by Kanter for most of the night
KP will struggle with being guarded by Millsap, dude is one of the most underrated players in the league

I can see us losing this game. The Nuggets always play us tough.

Nuggets have a ton of dynamic perimeter athletes...We will see a big dosage of Frank tonight.

Hopefully Timmy and KP continue where they left yesterday. Dominate those mountain fools.
@KDOT, KP somehow always does well against Millsap. Jolkic is the issue here.

I really have no interest in winning games this year as long as Kanter/Jack are starting. If Willy/Frank/Dotson all played big minutes, I'd screw the tank, but right now we're still an old lineup. Cavs are a mess defensively so last night was an outlier. We need to rack L's up.

Who knows with this one. At least Kanter has played against these guys several times, not sure how he fared against Jokic. He and KP should go right at him, get him in foul trouble.

Kanter will get exposed with his clueless defense. All that size and he never puts up his arms to deflect and close the passing angles and lanes

Jokic > Kanter
Millsap < KP6
Chandler = Lee
Harris = THJ
Murray = Frank
Thats and even game! Will be close game!

This game is a bad bad match up. I expect a lot of Lance because of it. Also lets see if KP can have another good game against a defender like Horford in Millsap. Interested to see how we counter. Both teams on back to back so that's not an excuse.

The Knicks begin a stretch that sees 13 of the next 17 at home which runs through the end of November and has alot of very winnable games in it. Do we want a false hope run that teases playoffs but ultimately falls apart when they play 24 of 36 on the road through the the middle of the season ending at the all-star break so blows up the tank and the chance for a top 5 pick?

We won two in a row! Who broke the tank?

The starters played a lot of minutes last night so I expect some tired legs. Timmy played 41 minutes, I know he was shooting well but that shouldn't happen. Hopefully we see more Frank,Dotson and Willy even if it ends up in a loss.

Starters played big mins last night, I hope that means more Frank, Willy and Dotson for this one.

The Knicks ran into an old and tired Cavs team. The Nuggets don't have as much young talent but they are deeper and more consistent in running their system.

Frank, Doug, Beasley, KO, Billy, Lance should all have plenty of energy if needed. Baker could be back too.

I'll be at the game tonight pretty pumped to watch the new and improved KP. He has traditionally struggled playing in back to back games. So I'm really hoping he comes out ready to play because we have 0 chance of being competitive without him.

One game at a time. I am all for a top 5 pick. The way we played the last 2 games though...I'm not sure we are that bad.
Jack/Frank BC is proving to be the issue in the 1st 3 games when I would have guaranteed a top 5 pick. Timmy was a big issue too. As well as the defense. Oh yeah and the coaching decisions. All of that seemingly came together with JJ/Frank. Sessions needs to go.
Last night's game showed the importance of good PG play. Everyone wondering what's wrong in Cleveland need to look no further than Rose/Jose. Any Knicks fan with half a working brain cell (as witnessed in here a lot!
) can verify this. We've had TWENTY FIVE different PGs since 2009! The list is nauseating!
Like myself and a few others stated...this team will play as good/bad as what we get from our BC. Sessions was tank commander! Jack is not. Frank = tank buster! He's a Warthog!
That said...Jack is on the back nine and Frank is young and inexperienced. Timmy has only had one good game. Jeff has just started coaching well. The defensive effort has been refreshing to see but, it was BKN and a struggling CLE. All of this needs to be consistent before we lose our lottery status.
The last 2 games have been fun to watch. Even though I am all for a top 5 pick, I would take a year of the kids winning games together. It would mean massive improvements and hope for the long term/big picture.
