    Re: The 2019 New York Knicks: Feel the Fiz

    We're a little over 24 hours from the season opener vs Atlanta. The starters are...

    Burke
    Frank
    Hardaway Jr
    Lance
    Kanter

    Mudiay is a healthy scratch, he won't dress. Knox had a rough preseason so it's not a shock to see him coming off the pine. I expect he'll have an inefficient rookie season.

    538's projections have us tied with the Kings for the worst team in the league. Going to be a long season but hopefully it'll have its entertaining moments.

      Love for Trier is growing in our fanbase with each passing game. Boy, are they going to be let down soon.
      Why are you soo down on Trier? He was the only Knick in the preseason that was a insta bucket, and the dude has the shiftiest handles on the team.

        Re: The 2019 New York Knicks: Feel the Fiz

        I'm starting to come around. He left such a bad taste in my mouth after Summer League; he was selfish as hell though he was playing for a job so maybe it wasn't indicative of his true game. He had all the traits I hate in a basketball player: ballstopper, over-dribbles, poor vision, poor shot selection. Seemed like a low IQ, me-first guy. Not to put too much stock into stuff like this, but his social media handle being "IsoZo" said it all.

        He looked good last night, granted the Hawks played zero defense, but he was still one helluva ballstopper. The ball sticks in his hand. As a microwave off the bench, it's not as big of a deal. If Fiz can teach him to play within the flow of the offense I'll be thrilled.

          He played well so hard to ignore it. I still worry that he will stop the ball too much.

          Adding to that, Fiz said Zo is the only player on the team that has a green light to do whatever he wants because it would be bad coaching to not let him loose.

          I don't mind that too much if you're looking to figure out if the guy will abuse it or grow on his own. I just worry he will be Jamal Crawford or Nate Robinson.

            Did you see that monster dunk IsoZo had last night?! Good lawd that was filthy. best moment of the night for me. He also had 2 blocks. He didn't seem to force the issue but did look to score when he could. He's not afraid of the bright lights thats for sure.

            He took 9 shots and tied with Kanter for best fg % on the team.

              Have to like the Knicks effort. It won't translate into many wins, because the talent isn't there yet.

                Agreed. But I want to see it there in February when the team knows it's bad.

                  Yes, that's going to be a big test for Fiz....can he keep these cats motivated during those February dog days.

                    This **** drives me nuts - some of these younger Knick fans are pathetic, begging other team's stars to come here. Waste of money.

                        I'm glad Fiz changed the lineup to have Frank running point because he looks a lot more comfortable in the offense. Since he has the ball in his hands he's forced to make plays and he's been a lot more aggressive the last 2 games. He had taken 7 shots per game the first 5, and has taken 24 over the last 2. He's also shooting 41% from 3 this season in the small sample size.

                          Yep. I've said it since Day 1: Frank is a point guard. A pass-first PG at that. He's so hesitant everywhere else offensively. He's got good vision and is unselfish to a fault.

                          Nice game for Big Mitch last night.

                          I doubt a young fan has the money to pay for such a billboard but your disdain for nearly everything Knicks-related always cracks me up lol.

                            Nearly 18 years of garbage basketball will do that to a person, especially when I haven't seen a championship in 45 years. I want this franchise to be relevant again like it was in the early 70s and the 90s.

                                There was a time when I followed EVERY Knicks game. Remember how it was during the 90s? We had a tough, gritty hard-nosed team that gave us their all and had great battles against the Bulls, Pacers & Heat. We were guaranteed at least a trip to the second or third round and made the Finals twice. I should have appreciated Patrick Ewing more (instead of criticizing him for what he couldn't do), because it's been **** since.
