We still haven't hit a 3 in the D'Antoni era.

Dinglebury does not look good in this system. He needs the ball in his hands a lot.

He hit a nice jumper from the top of the key in transition, he also missed one from the foul-line extended in transition. Him and Zach are feeding off each other great tonight.

I disagree... he is a bit stagnant without the ball, but he's made a number of very good passes...he's played pretty good defense, and he's made it to the hoop and drawn fouls... I think you are being a bit harsh on him.

From what I see, Duhon looks lost. Perhaps the logic is to let Duhon work against the other team best 5 and let Marbury run rampant on the second team...

Anyway...after the first half of pre-season...I like this lineup:

Nate
Marbury
Chandler
Randolph
Lee

Randolph and Lee are showing good chemistry... Randolph really hasn't gotten it going though...
Nate looks real good...a little bit sloppy, but he works hard.
Chandler looks awesome. Qrich is going to have to work hard to get minutes away from this kid.
Lee is doing well...needs to work on the jump shot, but finished real well around the hoop.

Crawford has looked terrible so far...
You know I gonna spin wit it

LOL. Only on the Knicks, when the 2nd unit is actually better than the 1st.

The only problem of DT's offense is that the Knicks are not a good 3 point shooting team.

Jose Calderon has improved exponentially from a few years ago, he looks awesome.

There are many problems with D'Antoni offense on this team but yeah that's a huge one. One thing we have learned. He is trying to force players to adjust to him vs. him adjusting to his players. That's where is limited as a coach. Riley was able to adjust and win. I don't see D'Antoni doing that.

While I agree with your premise, I must say.. Why does it matter if he is making this team adjust to him? 90% of these players aren't going to be here for the long haul and this team had no chance of winning anything this year as constructed anyway. So really, why does it matter?

Because I am under the impression and it's my belief that neither is D'Antoni. The losing will get to him and Dolan. Then you're back to square one again. Instead of trying to maximize what he has, he will oppose their flaws even more.

The ball does not flow when he is in. Dinglebury is a halfcourt player.

Well if you're under that impression then I don't blame you for thinking that way. I honestly don't see that happening though. What do I know, though?

Yet, somehow he looks better in the offense than Duhon and Crawford. That's scary on a bad level.
