    He's definitely looked stronger in this game than he has all season. Not bad for a guy many in here are convinced should barely be in the league.

    Jones' defense is just unlocked in a zone. That's what Miami did a lot last year. Roco same way. These guys occupy so much space with their wingspans.

    Mitigates the Kanter liability a bit.

    Right now, Anfernee is much better in a structured offense compared to a stagnant one where he has to create against a set defense as if he's Dame or C.J.

    Is it even possible to trade the worst player in the NBA?

    58 from the field and 57 percent from the 3. 30 points from the bench. Simons with 13 and Trent with 9 leading the bench in scoring. Giles leading on the boards with 7.

    it kinda went awry there a bit when the bench was in there for 8-9 mins in a row. he really struggles as a PG in reading defenses. but his shot is just so effortless that he'd be sick next to a PG.

    From what I’ve seen, nothing has changed on offense beyond just hitting shots. A lot of tough shots with hands in the face.

    On defense, the zone has been interesting.

    The Knicks allow the lowest FG% in the league. No mistakes here. Knicks have best defense in NBA.
