So is it socially acceptable to say the team runs better when Frank is playing yet or nah?

Frank good 1.5 quarters
Mitch moments in 2nd half
Dotson played well before assuming tank driving duty briefly
Mario looked good, Mario looked like Mario
Nice comeback to down 6 when Fiz played a lineup that made actual sense
Nice fake comeback with Burke/THJr out there with Mario and Mitch and Dot
THJr secures tank by backing off 10 feet on Ellington, then wounded frog hopping for simulated D effort on the Ell make.
THJr lets Ellington score again, at least he was on him, no ball denial
MSG full of Wade nuthuggers and other assorted not born in NYC asshats who do things like "The Wave"
Burke and THJR is a turrible idea confirmed
Fiz showed some coaching IQ acumen by realizing Knox with those two is a disaster, so went with lesser evil Mario
Mitch don't have time for shaking hands

Frank 1st quarter proves why he cannot start, simply too much resistance to the tank. Frank the blockade.

There's no D in Szczerbiak, many letters, but no D.

Wally either an idiot, or a shameless MSG shill. Either way, I do not respect.

Fiz will never win a championship here...sorry.

I’m not a fake news/media generates hate type of person but everyone part of the media saying the Knicks miss Kanter or are tanking by not playing Kanter is seriously just a hater and is purposely trying to stir up drama because it’s absolutely ridiculous as they all know how little positive he brings to the basketball court on a nightly basis which is clearly apparent in the Knicks overall play since he’s been on the bench that I can’t stop rambling about this and never going to finish this sentence cause it gets me so freaking mad

Wally is by far the worst analyst on TV.

Wally know how to keep a job

Fiz knows his stuff, but he just cannot openly admit he is tanking, so instead he always mentions player development, ie winning is not the aim or target at all.

I might push to become a journalist again. Someone has to talk that truth.

I think so, but here's a diplomatic answer

The ball moves better as he has good IQ and I think the players know he'll get them the ball, but also if they reset and he gets it, it'll move again. Trust.

That said, Frank needs work all over the place. Asserting his will on the offense, in terms of "run this play". Making jumpers. Driving. Driving coming along, slowly. Jumper will come. Probably next year.

So, those things are good. It also speaks to how Burke and to an extent Mudiay, just really aren't that good at running a team, or at least a style conducive to team basketball. That's on offense. On defense there's no argument to make.

Mudiay I wouldn't mind as a cheap backup PG, as he's still got potential, his drive game is unlocking, and while he's not maybe as low key smart running a team like frank - not implying Frank is a genius or doing anything special, he's just very sound in a certain way, Mudiay tries to involve others. Meaning, he's sort of score first PG, but there's enough facilitating skills.
Burke is a nice scorer off the bench, but, nah, let another team who needs that have it.
