So now EvilMelo is going to spend the season driving out his coach, the entire assistant staff and his Prez?

He already did last night. Can Melo break his habits can the entire team break its habits. One thing the triangle requires is for two players to be the aggressors with trust. No one is telling Melo not to be aggressive be aggressive it's required for the system to work.

My suggestion is play the triangle is spurts. Let them play a pro set 1/2 the game and then call the triangle every third halfcourt set. It's like calling the same play on offense--let the guys get used to it at a pace--let them play more free flow

The team should all try to fck the triangle at the same time.

Abandoning the system already BRIGGS? They need to learn it, not run away from it. Gonna take some time and some lumps. But it's not going away, and those who embrace it will (eventually) thrive using it.

The real problem for the NYK is lack of commitment on D. I am not overly concerned about offensive execution at this early stage.

That's why I am glad Phil is here - to make sure Fish and Melo stay the course and don't panic.

Good thing knicks have you to make suggestions.

My take is there will be Isolation. Mike did it, Kobe did it and Melo will as well.

There are times for it.

This team isnt built for the triangle, but the could try to grasp it in game if they had enough talent to overcome the learning curve...but they dont.

Fisher need to admit it already and come up with a system his players can at least compete in since as he said "he isnt married to the triangle and would form an offense that suits his players".

So those coaches needed better talent

Much the same Fisher needs better talent


But of course everyone found it the in thing to do

Woody was an idiot ...

The knicks sorely lack talent ...

both are true. Want to blame it on Melo? Go ahead. Everyone has the right to a blame / hate guy.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

With many of the same player Woody had a streak with this team of 72-34. I dont think even Phil could top that.
