That's not a Knicks fan reacting to drafting Porzingis, that is Michael Rappaport trying to remain relevant.

Devin Booker is the only player in NBA history to record a 30-point game, a 10-rebound game and a 10-assist game before turning 20 years old.

Triple double machine? Is Klaymond Green a good comparison?

Karl Anthony-Towns kind of sucked last night, if I am being honest. That said, I found it frustrating how underutilized he was.

Yeah. Completely ignored offensively in the 4th. I don't get it.

I can't believe it was the first 3pt make of the year for him. He has amazing stroke, in the upcoming years he will shoot them regularly.

I can't wait for Russell to be unleashed.

Until then, we have to watch career sixth man Lou Will get 35 "gritty/veteran/tough/non-DLO" minutes a game while giving up approximately 60 points on defense.

To be fair Lou does have the 2nd highest TS% on the entire team and highest of all their guards. He has value. But you are right he's absolute garbage on defense, which is why he should remain a career 6th man.

My issue is that Clarkson and Lou are similar as guards in that they look for their own shot. DLo is one of the only guys on the team that looks to get other guys involved. He's just a better fit next to Clarkson. Byron is being an ass just because he can.

I think the team has put an emphasis on him shooting mid-range shots and closer. They'll probably focus more on the 3 in the coming years. I'd like to see him go more into the post when his shot isn't falling from deep mid-range.

Towns snapped his 10-game double-double streak. Was averaging 22/12.6/2 over that stretch.

As always I am baffled on why Jokic is always on a minutes restriction
