October 28th - New Orleans Pelicans vs New York Knicks - 1-0

Zion's made 6 of his last 7 shots. Dude's heating up.

It will never happen but Zion would make an ideal six man. He doesn’t need a lot of offensive talent around him to be scarily efficient offensively. It’s more important to surround him with good defensive talent.

I think subbing him out early and playing him with bench units to destroy is a good idea, but lmao at the idea of benching your best player.

Come on Brandon

Ingram is awfull on both sides of the floor in 2nd half.

Ingram had a great first quarter and has just been completely off since, kinda weird

Just completely abandoning what worked

What is this lineup

"all of a sudden"

Get Zion back on!

I can not understand how can someone with Ingram's build be so bad on defense. It is amazing to me. It's like he smokes weed before every defensive possesion..

In his defense he was a lot better at points last year. Tonight he just looks awful.

But if you want the explanation physically, it's because he has really high hips and very slow feet.

Not sure why Hawkins wasn't given much playing time after a good 1st half

his feet are quick when he wants to score! actually agree though defence is a different moving with the side shuffle etc and also running backwards.

Zion playing well seems to have an inverse effect on Brandon.

Dyson needs to get better at shooting the ball..his shot is so bad

I disagree, I think even on offense his feet aren't quick. His best stuff is length and pace related, I don't think he ever just blows by people with speed.

Seems like the refs are finally giving Herb the respect he's earned defensively.

The Knicks are a frustrating team. Some of this disjointed feeling is more credit to them.

CJ and Herb killing it. Jonas hitting some shots. Should be able to close this one out pretty easily

Herb is a ********ing all-star, DPOY, 1st Team NBA-Defense, 2nd best player of this team, i can't even express how much i like him. HEEERBBBB!

Yea knicks playing hard despite the back to back.

Herb is one of the best defensive players in the entire league.

Could you imagine if Dyson’s offense improved to a point where you could pair him with Herb for extended minutes?
