Good loss, Wow, Kudos

So the Cavs have the worst D-Rating of all time. These Knicks are 7th worst of all time. And there are 6 2018-2019 teams currently in the bottom 15 of all time.

Are defenses that much worse this year, or are offenses that much better?

Maybe we put Zion at point guard or small forward 🙂

Knox can play the 3 on offense but gets killed defending it. Not that he’s a good defender yet at the 4, but it’s like Melo, where playing there maximizes his strengths and minimizes his weaknesses. And there might not be a ton of minutes there unless KP finally moves to center full time.

@132 Wally just quoted you almost verbatim.
I am now a believer of your powers. Lol

I suddenly feel less confident in myself (but not in PIPM, which I learned this from)

Atlanta has been better since Collins came back so they might be in play as well.

Also, why is it that when Frank shoots well the rest of his game seems to suffer? That’s back to back sub-par defensive games from him and the couple of nice passes he threw were off-set by some bad turnovers. Still, baby-steps- very encouraging for him struggle shooting in the first half and not get discouraged and disappear on offense.

As for Knox, he’s looked like an actual NBA player pretty much since the Milwaukee game- not a good NBA player but a guy who looks like he might have a chance to be good down the road. If he gets a little stronger and improves his handle he’s going to be able to score- he can shoot the three and get out in transition. Is he going to be able to consistently rebound and at least be adequate on defense? We’ll see.

Knox has so many skills, but has no goddamn clue what to do when he attacks the hoop in the half court. Just correcting his technique in that one area will pay very big dividends, I believe.
