Hi is already destroyed by our rocket.
Target destroyed, change the target to....

I agree he is making poor decisions but also there are no more openings like there was before with a simple offensive set. I think Dantoni is over thinking this one.

I have been saying this for awhile now. The offense we ran before is nothing like theo ne we run since Melo and Amare came back. The Linsanity off was one screen after another until a good one was found. This one is one fake screen then ISO to Amare or Melo, this got us to 7 games below .500 before the win streak. I want the offense to be the one we had during the win streak with melo and Amare taking the shots that Walker and JJ took. The problem is that they are "Stars" so they are to big to just be finishers they must ISO.

What if teams are taking away what Lin was doing now that they have gotten to watch him on tape? You should follow what the scouts and GM's are learning as we go.

White / Black is blinding.

My post was about the change in the offense since the "stars" came back. It's hard for teams to stop us from doing something when we stopped ourselves. Before the win streak we were the team that did the most ISO's and had the lowest percentage of that ISO turning into a score. Why would we go back to that? People want to make this about Lin vs Melo/Amare, I just want us to use the same offense we used then. Why would you go back to something we all know does not work.

Melo looked pretty good with ISO's in the first half today. Oh, then he was benched.

Who said that that initial brand of Linsanity (most exceting time of my life) is the current recipe for success? His shooting has hit a wall. Teams have adjusted to him and have been reviewing alot of tape. See articles in articles section. And, schedule is much tougher, especially on the road.

Its not white / black. Melo is back knicks suck again = If Melo sat we would go on an 8-1 run again.

Not everybody thinks that melo is the main problem but you seem to want to clear melo of any wrongdoing. Believe me i understand when you have a favorite player you dont want them to get any blame thats fine but cant just blame the rest of the team besides him

You are clearly making ass-umptions on my befalf and have made these assumptions in disregard to any posts that I have contributed to. I give Melo blame just like the rest of them. Melo is not my favorite player and he never will be. Melo has been shooting poorly this year as oppose to his Kobe like career numbers - that needs to turn around. He also needs to take better shots when the game is on the line (with the help of a good play design by MDA). He needs to pass quicker out of the double team - he has always been a really good passer (5.8 career assists per (exactly the same as Kobe).

I do give more Blame to Stat because he sucks more - and plays with much less intensity on defense. I place zero blame on Lin because he was just a beautifully wrapped gift - who can blame.

I blame the coach for doing a very sh1tty job.

Now its your turn to contribute specifics instead of piggy backing and not contributing insight (good or bad)

I know. Its just that you said you never get uptight so I figured you would recognize that was joking around but i was suprised you got so angry. Sorry man i wont do it again lets just talk about the knicks that have given us misery lol

I never get angry just like a good argument.

JCrusher, Honest - how old are you? Just curious. I always like to guess a posters age based on content.

Take today...fast break he decided not to pass to a wide open fields and yucks a 3 with no one under rather for a rebound. And if I see his stupid ses laughing and smiling at the free throw line down 10 again I will burn his jersey. He should be riding the line and let people like shumpert and Harrelson who would give up their own bodies to make a defensive play get In

Hhhhmm - interesting take. Lotta anger!
