I'm a big believer in system BB for the sake of team BB and to finally have this team with everyone on the same page from top to bottom is simply great to see. Phil sets the tone for the entire franchise and he has his protege in Fisher to translate that to the players. I bet Rambis is getting that feeling in his spine just watching the kids play like a team. Nothing better than to have players actually applying what you teach them.The real test is guys like JR (and Anthony). IF they can get thru to himthem that will really be a huge change.
Does Anthony put his entire effort into playing like we've seen our SL players play the Triangle?
Karl had some issues with how Anthony played, and we know how Anthony played for MDA. Both these guys played non-ISO offensive schemes.
Is it hard to come up with an answer as to why he got along well with Woodson, who basically allowed Melo to do what he wanted? You can say that Anthony did not feel comfortable giving the ball up to teammates at crucial moments because he did not trust them, but when you have an offense that freezes out players, causes them to stand and watch, and doesn't reward them if they are open, how do you expect them to be prepared to take the big shot.
It will be fascinating to see how Fisher and Phil sell the Triangle to Melo in training camp, and how Anthony reacts when he finds that he has to move around a lot without the ball.
Should be an interesting camp.
Obviously they sold him on the idea from jump, he was saying this when woodson was coaching, but between woodson, Felton and JR's lack of production, the ball constantly ended up in melos hand.
You see the thing what killed us the most, was not having a PG who can tell melo chill out, other guys need the ball. Thats what fisher did with kobe and durant, and thats what phil likes about fisher. He's not afraid to tell a susper star/all star, no.
It's like this chick I work with, she's so fine, so smart, and so aggressive, but she's single. Asked her why is she single, she said she hates guys that can't say no to her, and all she really wanst is a guy thats not caught up her on her looks and body, and could tell her no and stand by it. She doesnt want a push over, or some jealous raving fool, and she's had quite a few of those
Thats what i get from players who play with Melo, he can score so easy, that when he ask for the ball, or even when he doesn't, players will go out of their way to get it to him, even if hit means shutting the rest of the team out.
Thats what Made the jason kidd an ideal pg for melo.
