Exactly. You work your butt off to get back in the game and your coach fails to do the one damn thing he's paid to do -- give your team a chance to actually win the game by drawing up a play at end of the game. Fish is NOT Popovich.
this is about as dumb as you can get. calderon had a good look - the shot didn't go in.
Dumb? Right. Calderon had good looks all game long. How did he do? Idiot.

The only thing I'll say is that Galloway had been so good at pushing the ball all game off rebounds... I kinda wish he just accelerated to the hoop. But if he missed, he'd be crucified.

So the Spurs can set their defense?
We looked a bit discombobulated out there around halfcourt. A timeout would have been a wise thing to do, IMO.
If they had one. They had already taken two or three in the last two minutes. I don't know if they had one.

Calderon would be PERFECT guard off the bench for this team.
Only problem with that is . . .
what do you mean "only"?
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL
So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

Yea best D in the league. It would've not ended well for us. Calderon got a good look albeit he was rushed but can't complain
Yeah and he hits that shot a lot. To get that shot against the spurs...you can't ask for a better chance in that situation I don't think.

San Antonio best defense in the league. Smartest team and coach in the league. They would've defended against the KP lob this time. Trust me. A JV high school team would've known to keep the 7'3 KP away from the basket. Chances are Melo would've wound up with the ball anyway and with the Spurs setting up their D they would've forced another 30ft heave

To those of you criticizing the play, you are letting your emotions speak for you and you need to calm down. Carmelo made the correct read and passed the ball to the correct shooter. Jose missed the shot, but it was a good shot. I am a little confused about not calling a TO, but I will give Fisher a pass on that. The better team won tonight
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

no the spacing was horrible and the shot was rushed. terrible decision by fisher to not draw up a play there.
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

yes that's why we got a KP dunk coz the spurs were really set in their defense...like rocks.
That's the point. The Spurs defense wasn't set in the KP putback. Fool me once but won't fool me twice. Spurs and fool is like fire and ice

Im not mad at calderon. However i never liked the trade for many reasons. First off we sold low on tyson and secondly jose isnt really a point guard. He cant pass well, doesnt have much vision, and defensively lol. However his shooting has been much better lately so i cant knock him taking the last shot

That Melo high screen for KP is a thing a beauty. I see it open nearly every time they run it during games but they miss KP. It works because there is no way to cheat it. It either gets KP open at the rim or from 3. On top of that it frees up Melo too.
People complaining about a corner 3 by Calderon when he has his fit set with room created by Melo is beyond dumb.
