the play i notice with almost EVERY NBA team is that when u pass into an iso, there are always cutters running thru the lane. that simply doesnt happen...i dont blame that on melo (one "L")...thats a coaching issue
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Why when the mop up unit came on the court even the announcers were surprised how much the ball moved with Prigioni as the pg

One thing I really liked that Woodson did at the beginning of the season was to call TOs when he saw something he didn't like before things got out of hand. I don't see the same coach I did in the first quarter of this season.

Even if Woodson isnt the reason the ball isnt moving (I think he is), hes certainly not doing anything to fix it. Its on the coach.
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

So what could have changed the coach, players fake loyalty, no leadership. Fear of losing the best player like George Karl did .

Is Melo's Iso personality to strong for the coach to influence the rest of the starters.

Woodson coached the 04 Pistons whenever Larry Brown was out, I guess he had more professionals on their roster back then.

We get ISO Melo because guys arent making shots. Plain and simple. Dudes want to overthink this. Woodson is trying to win games.If ISO Melo is adding to wins we will roll with that. D'Antoni cared more about his system than winning.

Melo plays bad we lose. Not difficult to figure out.

The ball isn't moving because Kidd has become ineffective. Even though Felton was PG Kidd was controlling the game from the SG spot. Kidd directed where the ball went.

But can the ball be moved around before he gets to Iso, we do have a 24 sec clock

The whole point of Woodson was supposed to be his toughness and emphasis on D. For those that really were his biggest supporters that was the thing they touted about him. If he's not able to get this team to defend on a high level, which he hasn't been able to do for a long time now, then all that's left is scoring and his work as an offensive coach is simply not very inspiring. I'm not sure what exactly has changed, but this team hasn't been as sharp with player movement and ball movement as they were. My only guess is that Woody has been moving away from the spread floor and ball movement, with PnR in the paint that we saw to start the season. Every time this team has moved towards more ISO it gets stagnant and loses games. It's lazy BB and teams can shut that down.
