Just fun watching them work hard out there and get better.

I just don't know how anyone who watches Calderon wouldnt want to either dump him--even if that meant Hardaway. I don't even think hardaway is really that good--or maybe just not here where this team is. he s dreadful on D and is severely inconsistent.

I think what you saw was more ballers--meaning guys who have all around play--compared to the one way Hardaway. The only thing play guys like Prigs Calderon and Smith does is guarantee a loss which is ok too.

I am with you there. Calderon is pure garbage BRIGGS

Yes, they had their moments.

But my gosh is this squad atrocious.

Even in SL and Pre Season the kids seemed to look much better running the system. Also they actually try to run which is also part of the Triangle but people don't realize that you can run and get easy points. It's only half court if the defense is back and you have no advantages.

I agree. IMO, the kids have no baggage and are willing to learn and will do anything to stick in the NBA. The Vets, like JR, Stat,Calderon and Melo are too stuck in the way they are used to playing the game. For me, that alone is why NY struggles even with Melo there. I think the offense can actually create open looks if they run it right. How many open jumpers does JaSmith get!? Imagine if Carmelo was getting them? or Stat?

The vet guys are not adapting and that is why the team has struggled so much. Explain to me how a undrafted player like Galloway can come in and look so good? IMO, it is simply because he is trying to play the system and he is flat out trying anything to help the team (did you see him defend Harden? Never gave him an easy look!, Never!). IF all players, Yes, Melo and Stat too, had that attitiude, then no way this team is 5-34.

Just my $.02

Knicks are no match for the Rockets, but we got to watch our kids put up a fight and actually play well together.

Cleanthony Early 6-of-10 for 16 points, 6 rebounds.
Travis Wear 9-of-16, 21 points.
Langston Galloway 6-of-10, 19 points.

It was awesome. The Knicks have been bad in the past and never went there with player development. Love the youth. Love the team in Westchester. These guys are fun to watch.

If you were expecting the Knicks group to dominate the Houston Rockets in any way then I don't know what to tell you.

You gotta let go the losing and just enjoy what's going on. We're not going to all of a sudden win 20 straight. We're letting the young guys play. It literally was alot of fun watching them.
