Wait, so the Knicks are the second best team in the East?    That's cute.

118 - 80

one more on February 19th.    

 

Wow. 

And Duren didn't play.

Boston is slightly better than NY after tonight's games. Boston and NY are both 8-2 in their last 10. And it must frustrate them that they've only gained 1 game on the Pistons. 😆

Regular season records are pretty useless.  Pistons were 3-1 against NY last year.

Where are all the people on here who didn’t think Daniss could hold down the backup PG minutes? 😁

They don’t need a score first point guard as the backup.  They need somebody that can run the offense and help get open shots for others when Cade is out.   Also play semi decent defense and close out the 3 point line.

I dunno.  When the second unit is Ron, Stew, and Green it can become pretty offensively challenged.  It's nice to have a guy that can score on that unit.

As Del said, they actually do need someone who can attack and get his own shot in that bench unit. He's also shooting 39% from 3 on the season, which this team sorely needs.

As far as running the offense, he's actually pretty solid at that and makes some great passes when the defense collapses. He's had games of 12 and 15 assists this year when Cade has been out, and he doesn't turn the ball over much.

Defense is fine for his size. He's aggressive and goes for homerun plays , but that's most of this team, especially the bench with Ron and Javonte in there. That's their identity.

He's not going to be a 6th man candidate or anything, but he's a solid enough backup to play 15 mpg behind your star player.
