Thought I got a phase 2 THjr pick, but couldn't find it. I will. The last two games the refs have allowed teams to grab all parts of KP and it has slowed him down a bit. In both of those games, first a heartbreaking loss, then a comeback win, Tim Hardaway Jr. has showed he might just be worth what they are paying him, which is great news for us, because if he is, we have 3 guys, KP, Frank and THjr. instead of just two. The Knicks looked flat for the first 3 quarters, then, spurred by the Garden crowd shouting De-fense, the Knicks came back. Hardaway is a brilliant transition player, even if he can be perplexing in a regular O, and does really seem to feed off the crowd. Courtney Lee also had a pretty good game, but he was also made some bad decisions that contributed to the deficit. Frank was pretty ordinary early, but had a big second half where he also spurred the team.
Late in the game, Courtney Lee started clutching his hammy. This is never a good thing and could lead to us seeing more of Dotson, who we should be seeing more of, anyway. Just another gratifying win, and let's hope Lee can rub some dirt on it.

Frank needs to shoot more.
He'll get there. They need to start starting him. He's already the tone setter.
Fuck the entire Hardaway family. Eternal trash.
Yeah, just like the Ball family. Wait. What?
Depending on where he is physically, Noah might be the Knicks best defender against Embiid. He should dress over Beasley so they can play him a few minute a game to find out.
Long term going to need a big body who doesn’t want or need to score to protect KP. DeAndre Jordan fits that bill...
I think the biggest need is a wing player who can handle ball.
Kanter is an interesting and courageous guy:

Weirdly, I think we have most of the parts already here. Need a big time three (even a Toby Knight with health type) and I think we can be a playoff team.
Toughest night so far.
Unless Noah sucks in practice, he should play at least a little.
