The future is now! Frank Ntilikina will start tonight for the Knicks in his first career start. This was made possible by the Knicks facing the dynamic backcourt of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum and Emmanuel Mudiay re-defining the word “suck.”
Let’s go, Nick Nolte!

We’re getting Mikal
Anyone got the over/under on what Lillard & McCollum are going to score on us today?
Frank starting and Lee out of town. Yay utes.
I might actually stay up to watch this now, especially since tomorrow may be a snow day
Fucking unreal. Frank is starting at SG and mudiay is still starting, and Lance is starting.
I bet mgmt. wants Mudiay starting. They just traded for him, and want him to succeed, badly…
Anyone know why Lee’s not with the team?
Rebecca said something about “personal reasons” if I recall correctly.
@7 looks like it is for personal reasons, so interpret that how you will.
Maybe Lee and H got into an argument…
🙂
Damian “Steph Curry” Lillard is just so fun to watch.
He’s been playing like a mega superstar in the last stretch of games.
Dallas over Denver. Another team, creepin in our direction.
Mike and Clyde really help stomach the bad basketball so much better. I loathe they day they’ll retire.
It really stands out how much easier it is to score on the knicks when Frank isn’t playing.
Ok just looked it up and Frank is a +5, with the knicks down by 6
I can’t fathom that I’m going to have to watch Mudiay for 2.5 more years
Lol breen: “mudiay…spinning….not really going anywhere”
so frank since the asg has a 2p fg% of .447 and a ftr of .177….. those are not bad rates but his assist per 36 is down to 3.7….
i hope he gets a shot to be the pg before the season is out… i don’t think standing and watching is really good for his development…
That’s be the most hilarious thing ever.
That is a perfect summary of his entire NBA career
Mudiay is really, really, really bad
I’m starting to get confident that we can lose every single game until the end if Mudiay plays 38 minutes a night.
Damian Lillard is really, really damn good
Burke’s gotten the tanking memo apparently
the box score doesn’t capture how bad it is to have your worst defender be your center….
I’m enjoying the Troy Williams experience, he has a place in this league.
I think we might lose this game
how many teams don’t have two or even three pg’s better than all of ours….
watched bits and pieces of the game, and, my biggest takeaway from this game is that we may have traded for the worst player in the league…
the sad part is that statistically we should have already known that…
Mudiay tonight : 26 minutes , 1-9 from the field for 3 points and 6 turnovers
HOT GARBAGE
We can absolutely lose every game if mudiay continues to play and if Horny decked Lee.
Yes We Can.
I just hope Hornacek is either dumb enough or secretly down with the tank to keep starting Mudiay. At this point even Jack would be an improvement over him. If you make his ts% number be his fg% it’s still terrible.
Anthony Davis is a monster.
Emeka Okafor had 9 points, 7 rebounds ans 3 blocks today too, what the hell, Holiday with 17 assists and 2 turnovers too.
It’s almost as if Cousins is maybe not so great for a team?
demarcus may just be the best worst player in the nba…
