    easy win and it is great MDA is using the first few games to get a rotation down. You can't say that players are not getting chances to push for more minutes off the bench.

    Cause they suck.

    Speaking of sucking, I hope the Bobby Brown fanbois all clamoring for him to play over Ennis should shut up now. Maybe he needs more practice time but Brown doesn't know how to run an NBA offense, and while his scoring ability was ok against scrubs he needs to take it up a notch against real NBA competition.

    Again, i love how a lot of those supposed superduper analysts said the Knicks are conference finals material while the Rockets are probably out of the playoffs, lol, pathetic

    I disagree with that man, you continue to start Gordon the way he's playing. It's only been 5 games but he's the closest thing to a sniper we've seen in a long long time who plays starting minutes. Why take away the strength of having harden dishing to possibly our best shooter on our roster?? I think the second unit is weak but I think 10-12 minutes of no harden can be sustainable even with bev

    It is great that Anderson has started to find his three point shot a bit the past couple of games

    Remember when basketballholic said Harden wasn't a great playmaker?

    brown was sitting next to harden on the bench every time he sat. starting to think maybe he is really on the roster simply because they're tight.

    The main problem with him it's just that i don't think he has the legs to play in the nba at this point, he will be burned so bad by every pg if we play him, you can say the same of Pablo, but at least he can play smart, he just knows how to be in a decent position, he knows when he can try to steal a ball...he can make plays even if his defense is obviously meh.

    To be fair, that's not what he's said. He's said he is a 'gifted' playmaker, but that he is too casual with the ball and isn't disciplined enough to be a PG. There are many including me who believed that, but the last two games have been what I expect from him moving forward. Obviously he's not going to drop 15 dimes every night but his control and poise with the ball is what I expect.

    remmeber mike coached in new york, maybe he trying to rub it in a bit especially to the media, that it was melo that got him fired. Harden who many in the media compare to melo

    WE NEED PRIGIONI, and i wish we would have traded beasley for carter williams instead of ennis

    It sounded like it was between Jennings and Harden, then dantoni stepped in

    He had five in 2014-2015 season, one in 2014-2015 season, and three in the 2015-2016.

    Great great basketball but imo, when bev comes back there is no need to place him into the starting lineup, Gordon's defense has been better than anticipated. If you look we have two three point shooters better than harden this year who are currently STARTERS. Last year? 0 egg none

    Dwight did play against Zubak a rookie center so his stats are inflated.

    Well, if D.Mo comes back we'll have to cut one between Ennis and Brown, and maybe after a trade we can bring Pablo back, i hope so.

    Yep, but i think he was trying to make another point, more like that Dwight got like 20 shots in this game and the Hawks lost at home to the Lakers...they were 3-0 with him taking 7 shots per game, coincidence? Probably not.
