So hard that Oakley got into a pushing/shoving match with Dolan and was arrested. Just keeps getting better and better with that franchise!

Todays Knicks, find the only bloke in the building with a bit of fight in him and get the cops to throw him out. That's why they suck.

One complaint I have about Quin, though it's not many, is why he doesn't play the scrubs way earlier. The Jazz were up 30+ points with 6 minutes left, on the first game of a back to back. Does he really think that a Withey/Lyles/Mack/Neto/Whoever lineup would lose them the game at that point?

Hayward, Favors, Ingles and Hill all played 25 minutes or less - that's not bad.

Rudy played 30, but I don't worry about minutes with Gobert. The one thing that flies under the radar with his game is his endurance - the guy has a "Rodman-like" motor. He never looks gassed.

DL wanted to build assets for the future and Ty was not the right guy for DL's vision.

#trusttheprocess

DL inherited a Core4 of Favors, Hayward, Burks and Kanter.

Negatives -
* He let Millsap and Carroll walk for nothing and bombed on the Trey Burke pick.
* Missed out on some draft and stash projects by trading 2nd round picks for cash instead of going BPA (just imagine Jokic and Whitehead on this bench.)
* Helped the Warriors get strong with his cap bail out - but did get assets out of that deal.

Positives -
* He absolutely nailed the Gobert and Hood picks, while extending Hayward, Favors and Burks.
* Let Ty Corbin walk and replaced him with Quin Snyder.
* Traded Kanter and Burke before either became a distraction.
* Let Jefferson and Jefferson both move on.
* Picked up Jingles, Booker, JJ and Withey for peanuts in free agency.
* Has traded peanuts for contributors in Hill, Mack and Diaw.

Jury is still out on Exum, Lyles, Bolomboy and Neto. . . but they've all shown promise. Plus the Jazz still have a number of assets at their disposal as well.

This is a well built team.

I don't even fully blame him for this. He still had heavy involvement from KOC and Corbin at that time. DL fully took the reigns the following year.

Alec Burks made three "OMG WTF" shots in that quarter alone.

The one when the either the shot clock or game clock was about to expire and he drove hard at cunningham and was kind of stumbling and then just did some weird running hook over his shoulder when he couldn't really see the hoop and it was from an angle where he couldn't use glass and it somehow went in.... And the funny thing is that i wasn't surprised to see it go in. Its what he does.
Its routine.

At this point i dont think he will ever be the player i though he would be but i think thats ok. He seems to accept his role, has a great attitude, is really really fun to watch, loves the game of basketball, and is even learning how to play defense and pick his spots on offense better.
I'll take it.

Whiteside was drafted in 2010 long before DL was here.

The Carroll loss bothered me though he's shown to be fairly underwhelming.

We don't know what offers were out there for Millsap and getting something involving contracts back to meet the 125% CBA salary stipulation wouldn't have necessarily not only not been a good thing. It may have been a bad thing. Sometimes, unfortunately, the best move is no move.

In other news regarding the Knicks: Charles Oakley was arrested for trying to fight the Knick's owner in the stands during the game.

There are a lot of dudes from the nba that i wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley (anthony mason, ron artest, xavier mcdaniels, etc) but i think Oakley is #1 on my list.
