He was also one of the classiest sports announcers ever.

BIG question still as to whether Frank is a PG. Same with Ron.

This is not a diss. Kawhi Leonard is an all-time great defender who can lock down opposing 1’s, 2’s and 3’s. He’s not a PG.

But nice that Kyrie had nice things to say about his D. Let’s just keep it in perspective. The fact is that Frank had 1 assist and 4 turnovers, including 2 that could have cost us the game were it not for Beasley’s heroics. But yes, his D is exceptional, that is obvious.

can we have Beasley play the role of KP tonight…?

Thank you, og_nyc for this prescient request in message 24.

I guess the answer is yes.

The defense is real, tho.

@118 that is some great film, thanks for sharing. Frank’s defense was ON tonight – very impressive.

Beasley is balling out, let’s enjoy it while it lasts. I am as surprised as most of the rest on this board that he’s been this good. He’s won about 4 games for the Knicks recently, truly incredible.

RIP Dick Enberg. Sad.

Totally. If Frank did ONLY that, he’d have a clear cut rotation spot on this team for years to come. But obviously, we still have hope he can do more than that. But obviously, his defense was what I loved about him from the get go. He just seemed like a special sort of defender and this team has had, what, one special sort of defender in the past decade? Maybe three total?

Here’s the thing – how many games have we watched over the past five years or so when, like, I dunno, freakin’ Marco Belinelli had a career game? Or Brandon Knight? A ton, right? So fuck it, we deserve Michael Beasley having the game of his life. What a freakin’ win. And you have to love how useful Frank was in this game. It was really nice to see.
