    And? Vonleh was and is still the better player. Drafting Biggie was a waste of time.

    Is this win better than a trump impeachment? Close call for me . . .

    Before game, Knicks TV announcer said when Dame met with Paul Allen last season, it was agreed upon if Dame wants to be traded, he will be sent to a team of his choice. Then they said Dame denied it though.

    Oh, and if we're still talking about Vonleh: he was equal to or better than both Aminu and Ed and we paid to get rid of him???

    Missed the game, but it sure sounds like I didn't miss much. A win is a win, but the Blazers struggling like that against bottom feeders sure doesn't inspire confidence.

    I wonder what the Knicks did to finally turn Vonleh into a useful player? Do they have a big man coach by chance?

    If Nurk brings the ball down one more time... man. No big man fundamentals being taught at all

    No GM in the league would take Vonleh over Aminu.

    I think it depends, 23 year old Aminu wasnt a ton better than Vonleh is today. If a GM was looking for future upside he’d probably go with Vonleh. If he was looking for a “win in the near future” piece he’d go with Aminu.

    Great Game by CJ, Nurk, Dame and Meyers. Turner with the big rebound in the end. Collins... no words for him, he looks horrible

    I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Zach started regressing once Meyers got back into the rotation. Not saying it’s leonards fault, just that Zach has been floating on the perimeter too much, on both ends. What happened to posting him up? Pick and pop? The ball is going through Leonard instead of Zach. A bunch of jump shots. I don’t like it.

    Wish it wasn't so close but good way to end the game Great get by Turner to get that put back at the end of the game.

    I know Im the Zach hater or so Ive been called... I think they’re doing a bad job of getting him good looks on offense. He’s fouling too much, but its all teachable things and a lack of respect from the officials.
    I really think they should find a good matchup for him in the paint and let him work on the post a few plays. I think he’ll be ok, just not playing really smart the last couple games.

    Meyers is currently at 52/52/100. He is at 28/54 FG. Exactly half of his made field goals and field goal attempts are 3-pointers (14/27). He is also 15/15 from the line.

    Very impressive percentages, unfortunately for Meyers, he does not currently qualify for the leader board in any of the shooting percentage categories. The requirements for qualifying, for the season, are 300 FG, 82 3FG and 125 FT. At Meyers current pace, he would finish the season with 135 FG, 67 3FG and 72 FT.

    That's why i've allways said Zach is a Center in todays NBA. "BuT NO hE CaN aLSo PLAy pOwER fOWaRD." No he can't.

    While I will concede they didn't play well the idea of a "moral loss" is pretty dumb.

    He can. Just not with Leonard.
