Walls? Never heard of 'em.

From afar, Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis appear to have a wonderful mentor/mentee relationship. They've become so close, in fact, that they are beginning to sound like one another.

Porzingis was asked point-blank after Monday's practice whether he has run up against the dreaded "rookie wall" following a tough road trip. Kristaps's answer: What the hell is a rookie wall?"

"I don't think so. A couple of bad games, it happens to all of us. Not only rookies. Im just looking forward to the next game.
