Ron Baker was a Knick, and now is a Wizard!

Ron did not play very well today.

Not true. He might not have made his layups (on one of which he was fouled, for sure), but he was a problem for the 76ers on the defensive end

-13 is never a good look, although Ron had a lot of help contributing to that ugly number as the second string played terribly as a unit.

Ron is shooting the 3 well this year in a small sample size (9/21) and his A:TO ratio has been good (2.4:1), but his shooting from inside the arc (just 5/18) needs to make the leap soon for him to consistently grab a greater share of minutes. Here's hoping he can follow FVV's lead and start to piece it together.

Kanter was the main reason they were even in the game yesterday.

He had a damn day.

I was not trying to bash him, but when you air ball 3 lay-ups, make a few terrible passes (that he was fortunate were not turned into 3 atomic bombs), and miss the shots that he HAS to make to play consistently in the league for the next 3-5 years, all on national TV, then it's not a very good game. I'm sure he'd say the same thing about his performance.

His defense was okay, but not good enough to make up for the things listed above.

Not one person posted anything about the posterization Baker got from Davis and the fun they had about it?

Fractured face. He is going to go the Jason Voorhees route.

Love Ron's toughness but sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

He wasn't having a great game up until that point, and this only added it. He hopped right up and walked straight to the locker room. Came back into the game in the second half but had to sit tonight.

The unfortunate thing about that play is that there was not another Knicks player who even contemplated playing defense on that play.

That's a badass look! I like it.
