Porzingis scored 40 points in a Knicks victory over the Pacers. I saw the second half of the game. There was a stretch where he scored 15 straight points to rally the Knicks back from 19.
With post 2007 Pop, there is always a lineup that works the best, and he goes out of his way to limit that lineups minutes together during a season, instead of just running with it and letting it galvanize. Then he'll play the good lineup the last month of the season, but they haven't had enough time really tighten everything up and be completely solid going the playoffs.
Micromanaging at its finest.

And he still doesn't want to be with the Knicks. DO IT RC (though I've no idea how.)
I think Porzingis will be with the Knicks for a long time. It's hard to imagine a player as young as him leaving NYC. Especially now that he's loved by the fans. NYC and LA are the two markets you don't leave unless you are playing with a Kobe type of player.And he still doesn't want to be with the Knicks. DO IT RC (though I've no idea how.
Of course Spurs 1 big lineups are more successful. The key to small ball, is to have as many big smalls as possible, who essentially combine enough perimeter and interior skills, so that you're effectively playing big and small at once. Spurs have an abundance of these types and together they can somewhat mitigate the lack of a go to play maker by doing so by committee, as well as improving the defensive versatility.
The Thunder have looked pretty meh so far..
Have you actually watched them? (I haven't). Is it just "taking time to work it out" or is more like the pieces don't fit?
I started watching from the fourth on. He was incredible. I couldn't believe the performance he had. He was a force on both sides of the ball. I guess as long as he averages 35+ per night the Knicks have a chance at the playoffs....
You're probably right for the money reason. But both he and his people (brother) have gone on record as saying that he has different goals and he knows the money will come wherever he goes. If Knicks continue to be a Dolan nightmare who knows. That said, yes, the odds are he will be a Knick through his second contract at least.
Yeah me too. Amazing.
His brother is a weird guy. I remember during the summertime when Phil threatened to trade him that his brother and him started panicking. To me that was clear sign that they didn't want to leave NYC and was just frustrated with the Knicks lack of success. From what I heard Porzingis didn't want Melo to leave but I think now he realizes it was the best move for the team and himself.
I just watched a youtube clip that showed all of his 40 points. I saw him used the bank shot facing up several times and it looked very similar to Duncan's bank shot. I was amazed that he has included that shot in his arsenal.
his impact reminded me of young Duncan, just being a force on both sides of the ball. But he has to consistently do this now. His shooting for a big is like Nowitzki, and defensively he's capable of guarding the perimeter and protecting the rim. dude really is a unicorn lol
OKC lost a close game on the road tonight in Portland.
Point Differential this early in the season means very little. In another month that will change.
Clippers lost 4 of their last 5 games. Fortunately they're playing like now.
Glad to hear it but they're still usually a tough matchup for us. Deandre Jordan always looks like Bill Russell when we play them and Scrub Rivers usually goes off on us for his one good game a month. Lou Williams will probably drop 15-20 on us. I bet it ends up being a close game at the finish.
Think the Clippers win by double digits imo.
