Most of our screens are a guy like Harrington coming out, then a guy like Nate not even using it and just driving into the paint only to fail. We're just not good with screens and we're atrocious on defense against opposition screens.

As with most problems with this team it comes down to the fact we don't have the players to execute any form of an intelligent offense. No biggie. We're rebuilding we're not built to compete this year or next year. Those demands should begin after the 2010 offseason.

that pretty much is the case... these guys can't and won't execute any form of intelligent offense. I agree, it is just frustrating tho...

Oh, yeah, it's tough to watch, but this go around I can accept it knowing management has set us up with a CHANCE to improve down the line and I know given the contracts we have it will take some time to get there. This go around the players we have aren't a part of the future - whereas in the past they were touted as franchise cornerstones and we lost anyway. It's just easier to accept this time around. There's an inkling of hope out there for a change.

I agree, this is why I laugh when I hear clowns like zach randolph say, " the knicks made a mistake trading me" and then we have some on here who support what he said... LOL.. it is comical...

Only screens I see is the one Lee does for Duhon other than that there are no pick and rolls with anyone else. They need to utilize Gallo better than they are. Just sending out there to the corner for three point attempts is not what I call basketball. Get him moving to basket, set picks to get him open jumpers.

People are down on Gallo but people don't realize he has zero plays called for him. Thats on D'Antoni he has get him more involved and get Harrington less involved. Harrington is basically putting up every shot he gets and you know whenhe gets the ball he is gonna put the shot up no matter what. Its disgusting watching Harrington play.

With a bad back, they probably want to be careful about having him set picks. That's not to say it shouldn't be done, but you have to be careful about who you're setting the pick on. His outside shot is so good, that it does make sense to try to set a play now and then to get him some room to hit an open trey.

Sweet Jesus. Do they have to hold pee-pee as he go #1 too. The bad back can't be used for everything. Come on.

I think they already wipe his ass after a dump. D'Antoni and Walsh have already said he is 100%. If he is that then he can set picks and run around the court.
