These cats have a blind spot with Ntilikina. There's no point arguing with them

Nah, you guys just give up too quick on projects.

He's playing well and y'all won't even give him that.

The story of his career.

Every single team he's been on he's crippled both sides of the floor. It's embarrassing that coaches actually allow him to get away with it. Even worse that folks were fooled by it as well.

why i get alerts saying I'm mentioned in this post? Get off my dikk fakkit julius aint even been on the lakers in 2 seaosns

The ball ain't move for shyt. He handed it off after crossing half court every time. The turnovers came when Chicago pressured his ball handling. He forced passed trying to get the ball out of his hands as soon as possible instead of being aggressive and attacking. But you won't change your mind I get it.

Fam, yes, Frank isn’t perfect. He makes basketball mistakes that every player makes. His positive impact is pretty fukking clear. If you want to argue that he’s not the catalyst for the offense flowing better and it’s because there are better floor spacers in the game than that’s an actual basketball take that can be discussed. But his impact on defense isn’t debatable.

He has tools, though.

Why are you so sure he is irreparable?

Randle out here being a black hole. Marcus Morris ain’t hitting shyt but arguing with refs but only Ntilikina gets called out
@ISO @RubioTheCruel biased ass dudes.

I’ve shytted on Julius enough.

Why do you Frank stans need to deflect?

Those guys you mentioned just got here. I’ve been dealing with this shyt with this guy for 3 years now. We wasted an 8th pick on him he was crucial to our fukking rebuild.

team would be down 20 if there was no stabilization on defense
With that said, franks lack of assertiveness is annoying....he comes up and just immediately throws it into a set that the defense can see from a mile away(that will likely turn into an iso) cause he's so mechanical and finicky with his decision making.
I dont think he should be the lone ballhandler in any lineup

Gonna have to look back on this but outside of one play that led to his own drive into the paint, I didn't really notice this. I definitely noticed this when Elfrid brought up the ball as the ball just went around the top of key and back until we got an isolation move a few times.

I started to disagree with your point that Frank should be more assertive because I didn't think that he should be taking drives or starting sets on his own. But maybe he should

 

[storyteller]

Frank didn’t come in until around 5 mins left and the knicks had only scored 6 points. His defense helped shift the momentum even if his offense was bad. The knicks offense has had massive scoring droughts even without him out there in every game. It just sounds like bias when y’all zero in on him like he was unique to the struggling. At least he came in and got stops, that arguably turned the game around.

french.fries is in a constant state of panic

he is afraid

the frantic nervous energy won't completely ruin his defense

but it will make sure he can't do squat on offense

Randle and Morris are getting killed in this thread

Yet you still got Lakers fans in this thread caping for this guy.

Honest critique. Even in China he shined cause he had playmakers like fournier on the Floor with him. It’s why we’ve always felt like Frank is the perfect backcourt mate for RJ.

Nah I actually think that's a fair point. The ball did move though in comparison to 2019 season Knicks offense standards.
