Bebop Meat Mop 8 Report post Posted November 18, 2021 First game I've watched. Noticed that Hampton got barely any PT, and seemed pretty aimless and disengaged when he was in. Has this been the case all year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natesroom 197 Report post Posted November 18, 2021 I gotta say and admit it right now. I was not sure about franz when they drafted him i didnt even have him on my top 3 choices at 8 - heck i didn't even think i would have drafted him at 13. I was definitely not happy with his preseason and summer league and his first few games of cold ice. I was wrong! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harley 61 Report post Posted November 18, 2021 Fournier has been benched all of the last quarter for the past 6 games. Ha don't say we didn't warn you Knicks fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mauro Pedrosa 1,028 Report post Posted November 18, 2021 I love it when these young guys win even if I haven’t been able to watch the games due to my new 9 to 5. Love this team and this forum <3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argentinaworldchampion 32 Report post Posted November 18, 2021 he is awful shooting, but heads up plays by suggs in the final quarter. a couple of steals and assists, a dunk and the 3pt were key (along with franz scoring and always anthony) to get another win in ny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank goodness we didn’t give Fournier a big deal. Night all! 1) not even to him, just hoping that Fultz could get those. But... we also really need Harris to showcase.. something, just to increase a little his market value. 2) that one shouldn't be a news. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,409 Report post Posted November 18, 2021 Guys, when’s the last time we had a rookie balling like Franz? It’s crazy. His versatility and maturity are far beyond what I imagined they’d be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CTMagicUK 1,458 Report post Posted November 18, 2021 Haven't had any chance to watch the previous 3 games (so maybe im more high on this team than others because I didn't watch the last 3 losses) but I just got done with this game and I can't help but smile watching this team. It feels like we've got something with this squad. Suggs, his offense is rough in general but it seems pretty obvious he's going to be a positive impact NBA player for a long time. Cole was dreadful from the field this game but still had an impact. Which I think is important for him because in previous games it's kind of felt like if he didn't score a lot he was ineffective and we had no chance. Franz is the truth. That dunk was a beauty. Mosely deserves a tonne of credit for putting the ball in his hands that late on and I don't know if that was just him taking advantage of the lane opening up or a designed play to clear out but it worked and I was hyped when it happened. Bamba and WCJ are both battling and playing hard. Still more of a WCJ guy myself but I can't deny when Bamba gets his long frame on a layup out of knowhere it's spectacular. Ross was good this game. He played some defense, he passed to the open man at times and at other times when he was feeling himself he took those difficult shots we know he can make. Games like this will boost his trade value. Give me Banchero, Jabari Smith or PBJ to this group and boy will I be excited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cow poop raining down from the heavens could be a problem. Great win. The intensity Suggs and Anthony play with is becoming a big factor in the character of this team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauro Pedrosa 1,028 Report post Posted November 18, 2021 Lowe and Schmitz had a pretty cool podcast talking about this year’s rookies and they mentioned Franz before Suggs. Who would have imagined that a few months ago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
