If they want to push the ball in transition with one of the guards, I think it should be AA. He's faster and he will drive deeper into the paint than Calderon. Let Calderon lag behind a bit and get a good open look from anywhere. Expecting Calderon to slash to the basket when a lane is open is not going to happen. He'll do it successfully MAYBE once during a game, but that's about it. Shoot the damn ball.
I expect Phil to add some PG help Tuesday of next week when 10 day contracts can be handed out. It's the most logical action he can take at this point.
I'm really looking forward to that. I think Hose-A been a good trooper and hasn't caused any waves, and just been an all around professional as a Knick.
That said, time to punt his ass to the curb for someone that'll actually attempt a layup when they're right underneath the basket.
We simply can't have a low productivity and defensive liability on the floor for so many minutes every night. As a 3rd guard off the bench sure, but starter minutes for Jose is just too much. I long for the day when we have a younger and more impactful starting PG.
