This is about chemistry for the summer Knicks. Why do you guys always have to put Melo's name in it. Damn Damn let it go! Every damn topic people must bring Melo into discussion.

Only added it because there were two comments about Dolan staying out of the way... could not help myself.
Sorry for being "one of those posters." Will try to be better...promise.

Quite happy with the kind of ball we are seeing, though. SL- yes- but these guys have seemingly picked up the system, and I've actually enjoyed the way they play.
Have seen a couple of other SL games, and you get the typical "I got to prove myself by scoring" type performances. This SL team seems to actually be learning the system in a short time. Quite amazing.

If people comment about Dolan seemingly staying out of Phil's way in a thread about team chemistry, I figure I can comment.

Sorry to offend.

This was the response I gave someone else who reacted to my cynicism...

Cool! We have a few Months to figure all this out and then the real challenge come. I plan to go to about 10 games this season. I am excited about the youth movement on the team. Only a few months to go.

From what runs I've seen so far, there's at least always knick shirts around the basket. Very few uncontested layups during set defense. Not the greatest piece of promising encouragement, but I've seen the reverse from the opposition plenty of times.
