What team or game are you guy's looking at, there's no post up plays in MDA's system even if we had barkley on this team. This is a perimeter shooting offense, and the pick and roll is the center of it. Even when MDA was with the suns Amare was a pick and roll big man all day, slashing and moving.

This also contributes to how curry won't get a minute of meaning full playing time until he can show that he is in shape enough to run that play with consistency, he certainly has the skills and size to get an AND 1 every time down court, being fat and slow won't cut it in this system.


The thing about gallo and turning him into a jump shooting big man is that, in this system, you will get an open three no matter what or who you are. The knicks take a lot of wide open good shots, but when your not hitting them they suddenly look like we got a bunch of jamal crawford's on the floor.

Finally, the knicks offense dictates there defense (how backwards is that), when they hit shots they defend better once they start missing it's a wrap. The point guard play in this system is so essential, and lets face it Duhon is a back up who's just not athletic or smart enough. Nash isn't athletic but he's a hell uve smart and savvy player with out question.

I think we have the talent to win, were just not a very smart team
