One things for damn sure...Knicks lose again

How can it be? The Knicks lost to Orlando?

From all the Knicks YouTube channels and local media the Knicks were supposed to crush the Magic. What had happened?!?

I'll tell you what happened. Cole Anthony did give a tinker's damn about any of the Knicks hype. The rookie Cole came into the Garden and abused the Knicks' backcourt for 29 points. 

The Knicks got so happy with the shooting success in the past couple of games that they completely forgot about the identity of the team which is defense.

The question now is can the Knicks find a balance between playing hard defense while keeping up with guys off screens and looking to out score the opponent?

Time will tell, but one thing's for damn sure... Knicks lose again.

Orlando 110 - Knicks 104

Great organization, city and fans...in Dallas

"When I played against the Mavericks last year, I liked the way they competed as a team," Bullock said. "They got great players, so it was an easy no-brainer for me."

"I felt like that the skillset that I have was easy for me to be able to make this move to be able to come down and be around a great organization, a great city, and great fans and just bring my game here."

Right where I want them to be

Yesterday the Knicks set Frank Ntilikina free, thank goodness. I know Frank is relieved and so am I.

I am as tired of all the unfair bust talk that he is. Hopefully Frank's agent will find him a spot in the Western conference where his wide open fast paced style of game can finally find a good fit.

Today, the Knicks signed Evan Fournier, another player from France to a contract of 4 years 78 million dollars which is utterly ridiculous but I love it. I hope the Knicks sign Carmelo Anthony next.

Derrick Rose was resigned by the Knicks because he is a coach Thibodaux favorite. Good for him. But, the Knicks still need help at the point guard position. 

They could also use another big body center despite bringing back Nerlens Noel because I am not certain of how Mitchell Robinson's foot is going to heal.

So far, with the current picks, free agent signings and tougher schedule next season the Knicks are still a middle of the pack basketball team. Right where I want them to be.
