Knox reminds me of Tobias Harris.

Maybe they could think about calling Kanter for his obvious traveling in the post? Changing your pivot foot multiple times actually used to be a violation. I guess, those were the days.

End of 1st quarter:

Knicks 32 - Suns 28

 

[BC867]

I hope that, finally, the Suns are the team allowing their inferior competition to hang in there, if that is what they are, then turn it on in the 4th quarter for the win.

It is taking a chance.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need more production from Warren, Melton and Bridges among others.

 

[Mainstreet]

Holmes goes out with three PFs.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson has 7 points and 4 rebounds coming off the bench.

 

[Mainstreet]

On a night like this, the need for a starting point guard is clear.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns with no offense at the moment.

No, I think this is about what we can expect on an average night from these guys. But they are improving so maybe the story will be different in a couple of months.

 

[Mainstreet]

Finally Bridges gets going. He has 6 points.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Nice stretch by Bridges.

 

[Mainstreet]

No interior defense by the Suns.

Tonight is not an improvement at all. Reminds me of the game in Chicago.

 

[Mainstreet]

No defense from the Suns outside either.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Knicks players complaining on every (legit) call and judging by how the refs are now calling the game, I'd say the refs are tired of hearing it.

Yes, Booker is guarding their Point Guard too much, then switching off to their scorer. And leading the Suns in scoring. No rest for the weary.

I hope he can keep it up through the latter part of the 4th quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Knicks 66 - Suns 59

 

[BC867]

Suns down by 7 at the half. Book has 23. I hope Holmes can be a factor in the 2nd half.

 

[Mainstreet]

If not for Ayton and Booker this game would be out of reach.

 

[1Sun]

I think we are seeing first hand how much people were jumping the gun when they concluded that this team and Kokoskov in particular have turned the corner. This is a virtually identical repeat of the debacle in Chicago. So much for progress and improvement.

I was looking more at Melton who has mostly been ineffective at point guard who is scoreless and only has 2 assists. The Suns need more from a starter.

Crawford has 4 assists but only two points.

You can want more from your starters but rookies tend to be inconsistent. Let's face it, he is not starter quality right now despite the occasional good play.

I'm hoping Rivers can help carry the load at point guard on the off nights. We shall see.
