Hey! Where's the short table??
I don't even recognize my team anymore.. :D


I think only keepers get the tiny table. Bad sign.

Conspiracy theory: Perry is the first actual GM who really does anything and so has an office with a real desk. Tiny table was indicative of no one really manning the GM job prior.


Good point! Lol.

So true.

I believe they caught Frank on a hot mic saying "Ce mec est de la merde".
Not sure if Sessions or Jack.

i dont hate him at all. i didnt want to draft him, but obviously i hope he works out. id rather be wrong. regardless i dont think hes ready yet to run a team. but looking at the other choices he just might be the best option. doubt the FO will see it that way though.

i didn't want us to draft him too, u know that. but there's no point being salty about it anymore. he's still the best PG we've had in years. he's been playing pro ball his whole life pretty much, he's def ready to run a team. he's no doubt the starter for us. sessions/jack are washed up to the max. baker is not good enough to start for us either. hornacek has to be smoking crack if he doesn't start frank

cmon man. your not basing that on anything real, other then your a knick fan. Hes 19 and wasnt perceived by scouts as a ready now player, including our own. he was drafted on his potential. saying hes the best PG weve had in years, based on 18 minutes in which he shot 1 for 7 isnt logical. he needs time, throwing him out there for the sake of throwing him out there can absolutely destroy this kid before he has a chance. maybe he is that good, but he might not be yet. and kids need to mature, and learn properly. he might not be ready to produce what you guys expect of him out the gate. be prepared, hes not going to start. especially with such limited time in the offseason.

Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek was impressed after the first practice, saying Burke picked up so much of the schemes quickly.

“He’s a guy who can penetrate and create things that way,” Hornacek said. “He can set up the offense and break guys down. He’s a good shooter when he gets a good look. And he’s been around the league. He can play.”

i mean i can't see this kid being worse than rose/felton/calderon/beno etc...

i just can't see him not starting on this team. like i get that he was looked at as a project (that is how i looked at him too during the draft process), but he's really our only option here. it's not like we signed george hill as a vet to help bring up frank slowly like sacramento is doing with fox. we signed the worst point guards in the market. those dudes arent doing sh*t for us. let frank start.

i see u keep bringing up 1-7. come on, that was his first game. yet even in that game, he was hitting everyone with open looks. that's something we haven't seen a point guard do for us in a long time. his defense was nice too.

there's just no one better than him on this roster to start over him. that's why i see it as a no brainer to start frank
