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

[WuDrWu]

Baker's got to hit that wide open 3, but he's had his hands on the ball on about 5 straight defensive possessions that turned into transition baskets for the Knicks.

We were ready to jump off the couch for that one... barely drew iron, grrr.

But you're right. There's so much more that Ron does that's contributing to this run. His defense and hands have been everywhere tonight.

And guess what? NY is leading at the half.

[ShockerEngr]

Baker comes out and the score goes in the wrong direction

[Shockthemonkey]

The NBA game is so hard to watch, so many selfish players. Fun to watch Ron though!

[Cdizzle]

I mean. They just aren't interested in actually winning.

Edit: didn't even get a shot off lol

Which is exactly why they're thinking about trading Brandon Jennings to give Ron more minutes.

Hornacek loves him some Baker.

I just wish he would trust him a bit more in these games and let Baker help finish these close ones. They seem to lose on mistakes that Baker doesn't make.

What does anyone think about the DC coach on the floor at the end of the game? For misses like that for officials, are there ever any consequences?

Outside of Ron baker the knicks are one of the worst teams to watch in the NBA. Rose and melo are very selfish ISO oriented players . Warriors, bucks, spurs, nuggets, rockets, maybe the thunder are great teams to watch.

Ron on the floor = NY deficit disappears

shhh +/- doesnt mean anything

You know he had a negative +/- last night, right? If you're going to think +/- is the most advanced metric we've ever come up with, you should at least be consistent about it.

[bighouse]

Any NYK guard combo that doesn't involve Rose is working so much better

Rose may be the worst defender i have ever seen!

[ShockdaWorld]

Melo gives him a run for his money though.

But it somehow doesn't apply in the NBA because the style is different, remember?
