PG: Fizzy Tankbux Secures Loss vs. Nugs

[robillionaire]

Mudiay drives me crazy with his tunnel vision. He rarely looks for Knox and it pisses me off. I remember when Fiz started Frank for a stretch of games he switched to Mudiay because he said “we weren’t winning.” Well how long now before he switches back?!?!?

Frank has only scored double digits score 6 times including tonight let not get ahead of our self there was reason why frank was bench because he couldn't score the ball.

The hate he gets here is ridiculous.
People act like he’s 34 years old and washed.
He’s getting better. He’s taken a jump this year.
I don’t know if it’s a pro-Frank thing or what but we have a young developing pg tandem that we can afford to be patient with. Especially when you see growth.

For me I'm just skeptical that he's actually taken a jump and that we saw growth as opposed to him just having a fun but unsustainable hot streak like Trey Burke did at the end of last season or like THJ did a the beginning of this season before they eventually revert back to the players they really are. I'm fine with giving him some more time to confirm my suspicions though.

The "L" they're talking about is probably Mudiay

[DOT]

That stat is really alarming, holy sh*t.

Tonight was the 5th time Tim has shot .500 or above this year

He has shot .400 or below 18 times, 5 of which were .200 or below

Fun fact

Wow

Like, I get that somebody has to shoot, but does it have to be Tim?

Let Knox be the 1st option for a bit, even Kanter, at least he's efficient with his shots

Tim's a 3rd option at best, but we're letting him play like he's a legit 1st option that just has a bad team. Ain't gonna be fun next year when KP, Knox, our top pick, and potentially a max FA are ahead of him on the pecking order, and he still thinks he's the #1 guy

Gotta cut that win total by about 15 for the first pick. 35 wins in the east is battling for the 8-9 spot.

Ahhh, got you.
Cuz Trey had me convinced at least offensively.

You actually feel good flat out lying like that?

Either you didn't even watch the first half and you'll make stuff up or you did watch it and you'll just say this kind of BS anyway

Damn. You took the bait

[god shammgod]

this worth watching ?

[Clyde_Style]

this worth watching ?

Frank and Dot were really good in the minutes they played in the first half. You don't need to watch the rest since Fiz rewarded them for building a ten point lead by not playing them hardly at all again and your favorite vets took the loss home to the bank.

Hope our players said thanks...

Lol everyone’s talking about Frank getting benched TONIGHT. You’re talking about his last benching and that’s where the disconnect is. You are not having the same conversation as everyone else

I was talking about how many times frank has scored double digit scoring that was 6 times this season that what i was talking about.

So when you said "he got benched because he sucked on offense and couldn't score the ball" you meant historically, and not in this game where by any objective measure he did not suck on offense and could score the ball. even though this is a post game thread where we talk about the game that just happened. foh.

I didn’t watch.

When exactly did Fiz pull Frank?
Was it after a few hiccups?

[Capn'O]

That was probably the best I've seen Frank play.

He pulled him early in the 4th quarter, I don't think there were hiccups he just really wanted to let Mudiay play big minutes and close the game because it was a meaningful game for him, so I guess it is what it is.

Coming into tonight, THJ has only shot above 50% once in the last 20 games.

Maybe this kicks off a better shooting streak for him as he may be the streakiest Knicks player I remember.

That stat is really alarming, holy sh*t.

He was driving tonight so go figure. He's actually pretty good taking it to the rack and a halfway decent catch and shoot player. Any off balance/in motion jump shot is an automatic clank. They should not be in his arsenal AT ALL and he's taking like 30 a game a la JR Smith.

In fact, he's basically JR Smith.

Ohhh ok

Omg Phoenix has Booker and ayton is having a good rookie year. How do they suck so bad? I thought we would be separating ourselves from them in the tank wars

I wonder if ayton ends up like eddy curry. Strong physical specimen but ends up being lazy and never works on defense.

They beat us at least.
