Frank/Baker
Timmy/Dotson
Doug
KP
Kanter/Billy

That's our youth. Other than Billy(who hasn't shown much/has youth/talent in front of him) and an injury plagued Baker(also youth ahead of him)...the kids have all been playing.

Apparently...some people think we're going to play ONLY youth. Not happening. I would not mind it myself but, it's not gonna happen. At least not right now.

Players who earn get the burn.
Frank has struggled so...he's not starting yet.
Dotson has shown promise...especially on defense...but he hasn't won any steady burn. He gets looks though. He's not starter material yet if ever.
Baker has been injured.
Billy has shown nothing.

Every other kid has gotten major burn. I'm not sure what this narrative is that he's not playing/developing the kids is about. He's doing EXACTLY that. He's not tanking and doing ONLY that but, for the most part...he's playing the kids. He's developing the youth by making them earn minutes and play defense. He's winning games by playing the vets who help run the system the team is playing in.

I don't see the problem. He has a lottery team playing .500 ball. He's doing a decent job IMO.


Heres the thing Baker had to go down for our first rounder to even get regular burn, Dotson hasn't been given a chance to win or lose a rotational spot and Billy, well Billy has lot his spot. So he deserved what he got.

Tonight Frank earned minutes and Jeff tried to win with Vets.

This is a fair enough strategy but if he loses and he ain't developing **** then he don't need to be here next year.


Frank was injured early on.

So Frank played 4 less minutes than normal. The coach tried to win a game. Holy ****!! Fire this guy!

My post just explained that he IS developing the kids and winning/losing with the kids.

Dotson has been given minutes and although he showed a little skill...he hasn't taken over and earned any real burn...yet he STARTED tonight! LOL

Baker had to go down to get minutes? Our 1st rder was injured all summer and in preseason...he started playing regularly after 3 games. Baker was injured during that time and after. Ankle/shoulder.

Jeff has done a pretty good job balancing player development and accountability. People just looking for anything to pick at. This really shouldn't be on the list. A lottery team/rebuild playing .500 ball 1/4 into the season. Decent job. Even with the home friendly schedule. Not to mention Kanters improvement.

Game was winnable, but cooler heads will prevail.

A playoff game wasn’t lost. We shouldn’t act like that loss will defy the season. We win and we learn. Hornacek isn’t my favorite either but it is what it is.

Missing KP and THJ badly. Sounds weird saying that.

Frank was playing a better game then he normally did tonight so you just rebutted your own accountability argument.

Frank wasn't injured during the regular season and didn't have a spot in the rotation until Baker went down. Ignore the obvious all you want, no Baker injury no rotation for Frank.
Dotson started tonight because our only other sg is a sf at the current time.

Giving young players time because you have to isn't the same as developing them.

If the best you can come up with in terms of development is that a 25 year old player in his prime got better this year, then you have no argument.

Stop it. I have given MULTIPLE examples of how the kids are being developed. Frank was injured and being eased into the rotation. That's a fact. Once he got in he's been playing.

Dotson has gotten several looks and has never won any minutes but, was given a chance to start...because he's being developed and opportunity presented itself. Another fact. Lee could have swung to his NATURAL position and MFLFT could have started.

Kanter was labeled trash by most here and everywhere...his game has improved and he's now a top center in the league. Worth mentioning.

You and everyone else acting like he's not developing these kids are dead wrong. Period. I have stated why several times.

and I've countered every single reason. If you want to act like Hornacek is the next popovich then be my guest but stop getting mad cuz people aren't wearing your rose colored glasses.

Several looks? Garbage time counts several looks now? He could've also given Dotson more then 22 minutes, but he didn't.

Danyean has played in 13 games. Billy. 14 Baker 6.

The other 5 guys 25 and under have played in 19 or more games and are 5 of the top 7 in mpg.

THAT'S DEVELOPING YOUTH. THAT'S WINNING/LOSING WITH YOUTH!

NOTHING you have said countered my points made. You were wrong every time and you're wrong now. Kanter improving is also called development.

Take the L and keep it moving bro. You're wrong.

Knicks were going to lose a ton in January anyway. Looks like they are taking the steps to not win unnecessary games in december like those other years.

Being a runner myself who competed in college, I’ve seen this a lot… Basically I’m guessing he had some dull pain for a while and then really felt it in warm ups and told someone. I don’t wanna say it because it would be like a 2-3 month absence but it sounds a lot like a stress fracture. Hopefully he caught it early enough so that it’s just a stress reaction or shin splints because those would only be 2-4 week recoveries.

Not a medical expert just to be clear. But I’ve seen this type of thing a few times. Hopefully I’m wrong.

WRONG!

Billy(10.5) hasn't shown improvement- 14 games
Baker(11) injured/hasn't shown improvement-6 games
Dotson(7.8) showed flashes-13 games got his first NBA start.

The other 5 players 25 and under have played in 19 or more games and are 5 of the top 7 mpg on the team.

Kanter improving shows development.

Everything points to players being developed. Winning/losing with the youth.

I don't agree with this. The games WHG, Baker, and Dotson are playing are garbage time minutes that don't mean anything. None of those guys are playing consistent rotation minutes. Our young players shouldn't just be giving bigger roles because someone got injured.

The only 2 playrs on there 1st contract that get minutes are KP and Frank (and outside of a small stretch where he was finishing games) has been playing very restrictive minutes behind Jarret Jack who is a bum playing about 28 minutes a game which is unacceptable.

KP is really the only 1st contract player that gets major run on this team.

Sure Kanter and THjr deveopment is important since they are still youngish players..but they are still 2nd contract players making good $$$. The real player development needs to be in KP/Frank/WHG/Dotson in my humble opinion because when we are finally ready to make the jump those low cost players are what we will need to succeed.

Frank needs to cut into Jack minutes immediately, no reason that jack is playing 10 minutes a night more than Frank when Frank is already a more impactful player.

This is where the game was lost. We shot a higher overall shooting % and from 3. The Magic were dreadful from 3 (6-28, 21%).

Sounds like Shimmy Timmy has shinny splints.


You know when Jeff is stressed and under pressure when he starts touching his damn ears and play with his face. He did it when he ran off the court after the game. Its was mainly your fault we lost. Dont want to play your rook big minutes why? Ill wait for this dumb media to ask what happened to the rebuild. What happened was KP is actually good.

I don't know how anyone can argue this point. The knicks were playing well with Frank leading the show. Then for no apparent reason he went to Sessions out of no where...then he went back to Jack and he was god awful. I mean everyone saw that right? Why is jeff not waking up...start the kid already.

Its gettig bad. Okay, we get it. Jack helped you win a few games with leadership and getting KP involved. However he is the main reason teams are getting a head start because the opposing point guard is able to do what he wants and the team gets comfortable. Then Frank comes in and stops easy penetration and here comes the come back. Thank GOD we know Frank and KP paired are demons defensively. We can only add to those two. Preferable a 2 way athletic SF.
