Knicks center Enes Kanter hasn’t had much to say since being demoted to the second team, but he expressed his feelings about the move on social media last night, relays Marc Berman of The New York Post. Kanter’s tweet was just a period symbol, which is evidently his way of expressing his speechlessness over losing his […]

Enes Kanter is not the bad guy for wanting to start and win games. It may seem that way — with fans on social media treating him like he’s somehow blocking progress — because the Knicks have been preaching a rebuild and took their youth movement to the extreme Monday by trotting out the youngest…

Usually it’s the other way around: the coach holds back a player on doctor’s orders. With Kevin Knox, however, David Fizdale went against his own recommendation and activated the rookie for Monday’s game against the Bulls.
Fizdale had been saying he needs to see Knox go through a 5-on-5 scrimmage…

Knicks veteran guard Courtney Lee said he’s responding to an injection to calm an inflamed nerve in his neck and will meet with doctors in a week to see if he can be cleared for practice. Lee didn’t play in the preseason, hasn’t played in the regular season and hasn’t talked much. In his first…

Knicks rookie lottery pick Kevin Knox got a big ovation when he checked in with 9:48 left in the first quarter Monday night. Almost immediately he made an impact. Enes Kanter tipped a ball loose and Knox stole it from Antonio Blakeney and glided in for a fast-break dunk with 8:50 to go. That was…

It is one thing to be asked to buy into a meritocracy. Everything about that seems right. Everything about that seems fair. The best players play. If the best players are being outplayed by their backups on a given night, the subs play. It is an easy system to endorse in theory. It is less…

Undrafted rookie Allonzo Trier made his first career start and put himself in position to be a last-second hero — twice. Trier succeeded neither time — in the final seconds of regulation nor in overtime as the Knicks (3-8) found another way to lose late on a suspect Emmanuel Mudiay foul with 0.2 seconds left…

Knicks lottery pick Kevin Knox is back. David Fizdale wasn’t going to dispute the doctors and allowed the rookie to play Monday versus the Bulls, despite not going through a five-on-five scrimmage before his return from an ankle sprain. The doctors cleared him after missing seven games, and Fizdale was not going to stand in…

It’s a worthwhile question as to whether the Knicks’ best course of action is to keep Tim Hardaway Jr. around during the rebuild or cash in on his value right now and go even younger.

Allonzo Trier is beginning to have the league take notice of him after going undrafted.

So depressing. Only Z-man and the Zionists are happy (sounds like name of a music band).
Got no defense for Frank other than his defense. Send him to the G league for a month and tell him he needs to put up 20 fga/game to return.
Offense looked so stagnant at start. Almost no PnRs, no set plays. Is this on Frank or the coach?
The camera showed Fiz talking up a storm at the end during timeouts. Given what happened after the timeouts, wouldn’t “Give ball to Zo, anything you want” have been sufficient?
Remember how bad the team looked after KP’s injury which was proof that KP is a very good player? Is this true of Timmy then or maybe KP’s not so great? Very depressing to think about.
I watched game at gym on the elliptical. I couldn’t stop exercising to watch or the attached TV screen would have died. I was so rooting for game not to go into overtime. By the end, even the refs were eager to get outta there and head to a nice restaurant when they called that foul. And I felt like I had just ran a marathon through the Gobi desert.
I hope tomorrow morning I wake up a lot happier.
I’ve been as much a Frank optimist as anyone, but he was really terrible last night. Defense was ok I guess but talk about having zero impact on the offensive end of the court. Even as the supposed PG on the court, he just gives up the ball after crossing half court and runs to the corner. Is that what he is being told to do?
I actually didn’t think Mudiay looked so bad. Offense was about the same as usual although it seemed he didn’t fall down quite as much as usual, but I think I actually saw him get over screens last night on defense as opposed to dying on them every time.
A reminder that they were in the second game of aback to back and missing their best player. That’s not to say Hardaway is an all star but this is a super young team that isn’t that good or experienced to begin with and then you take out Hardaway who accounts for about 24 points a game for them. Is anyone really that shocked?
Another reminder: Frank is still the same age as Mitch Rob. He’ll probably never be a great offensive player, but he still has plenty of room to grow, especially as a pg.
