I'm a little worried about that. That's how he looked for the latter half of the Olympics. He is 32... we'll see, I guess... It's not like the Knicks need to rely on him for offense with KP and Rose and others... he can carry less of a load this season and pick his spots.

Hard to find a balance between push push push and then set up a complicated half court set like the Triangle. Hopefully they can. We'll see.

Thats the same sht grant struggle with, when to push, and when to set up, and it's very frustrating to look at, let alone play like that.

I love MDA's philosophy, it's the best thing since slice bread

Melo has a lot of miles on him, he cant just flip a switch. Its going to take a few months.

Well, typically Melo has come in very locked in after Olympics seasons - his best two seasons came after the 08 Olympics when we led Nugs to the WCF and the 12 Olympics when he got Knicks to 54 wins, 2nd round

Plumlee finishing strong at the rim and playing tough.

Randle needs to make the roster bc we need insurance for DRose and Jennings.

Melo was struggling to finish around the basket last year. It will only get worse this year. His athleticism is going, but it should not effect his midrange game.

Yeah, I take it back about Plumlee! Though his short arms have shown on D a few times and he's lost rebounds because of them a few times, I think.

Randle has looked good. We definitely need him as a third PG.

um its true of most older NBA vets. Takes longer to play at peak performance as you get older.

He has looked better than Willy, but Willy got almost no burn. I missed a bit in the middle though

Positives I take out of this game are Rose showing his inside game, enough to make up for forcing the issue at times. KP's stroke looks in midseason form. Bench players showing things here and there. KP should be able to play under the rim more with Noah back. He will find KP cutting.
