The 2016 New York Knicks: Now that we're done tanking...

Went to the game last night, couldn't help having an ear to ear grin during the Porzingis chants at the end of the game.

I think his rebound and putback over Jeremy Lin and Tyler Zeller was one of his best moments so far this season. He basically did everything that we were afraid he couldn't do on one play. He crashed the boards over two guys, got the rebound, finished strong and caught a body in the process. He looked like a legit big man on this play.

Wondering the same. Ridiculous. Fisher's substitutions are the only reason this is still a game.

Porzingis is obviously still heated they took away his buzzer beater.

Can we get Rambis back? Porzingis played great. He could've scored even more. after he hit the 3 in the 3rd Fisher takes him out of the game at his hottest moment. wtf??
IMO you're icing your own man when you do that.
He also took him out in the 4th which caused that run Charlotte went on. Fisher with less than 4 mins in the game, pushed out a lineup of Calderon, Galloway, Afflalo, Melo & Seraphin. He didn't bring Porzingis back until the lead was down to 4 and there was 1:08 left in the game.

I really like this team. Fisher needs to smarten up.

Or early in the 2nd quarter when are bench was getting killed and Charlotte came back, his answer to that was to go deeper into the bench and bring in Sasha and Amundson. I'd just like to see him stagger the substitutions of the starters more. We shouldn't have long stretches with Melo, Porzingis, and Afflalo all on the bench together.

And add more O'Quinn and Williams. Sasha should right now just be an assistant coach unless there is an injury

I'm going to completely lose it one night at Fisher, I've already come close. His rotations keep getting worse, somehow.

O'Quinn wasn't playing very well before Seraphin took his minutes.

Too many mental mistakes. I'm also guessing his disgust about being taken out of his last game, in another Fisher rotation experiment I think didn't sit well with Fisher.

Kyle just needs to be ready when his name is called.

I think he'll get some minutes this road trip as we play some big teams out west.

O'Quinn was making some mistakes and seemed slightly lethargic to me lately, but Amundson is out there blowing defensive coverage and leaving guys wide open last game.

I'm gonna have to say that this Lance Thomas & Amundson playing time situation is Phil Jacksons doing.

KOQ wasn't setting the world on fire but he was producing more than Admundson, who's taken his minutes for the most part (not Seraphin) and is doing virtually nothing besides some hustle plays and guarding stretch fours.

Their averages, and Per 36s, are heavily in KOQ's favor and there ain't much on the "eye test" or "stuff that doesn't show up in the box score" that goes in Admundson's favor either.

Even moreso, KOQ is 25 and we're looking to have him blossom into a larger role over the next few seasons. That will take some time and adjustments on KOQ's part. Admundson is going to be 34 in three weeks. I just don't get what Fisher sees in this dude and I'm baffled that KOQ is completely out of the rotation.

And the fact that they traded for O'Quinn. It is way to early to bench him for a guy that barely made the roster in the fist place.

I'm glad they won but it's like Fisher wants to make the game as hard as possible.
Are you gonna tell me Calderon plays better defense on Westbrook than Galloway?
Lopez is a terrible passer. There shouldn't be late game perimeter playmaking by 7 footers. Smh

Fisher's coaching will cost us at least three wins this year - he'll turn three wins into losses. I doubt he'll turn any losses into wins.

Seeing Taps already have down the "principle of verticality" is so big. He was phenomenal against Harden's BS tactics last night. It'll help him stay out of foul trouble throughout his career. Thus far, most of his fouls have been dumb ones (over the back, a pointless reach-in foul). I'd love to see stats on how often he fouls a shooter, it's seems very rare to me. He's so good at challenging and altering shots and blocks them when the opportunity presents itself. His feel for the game is miles ahead of what it appeared to be watching all of his Euro clips pre-draft over the summer.

Two out of the last three games he's been our best players. By the end of the season we may be at a point where it's a coin toss each game on who'll be our best player, him or Melo.

8-6 after this tough, tough schedule to start the season. No one thought we'd have that record at this point. Bosh will be a great test for Taps tomorrow night.
