Dang man. That's depressing. Well I hope they pick up their intensity in the 2nd half.

I listened to the first half on the radio. It didn't sound good. I will say that I am getting tired of the players talking about how much energy they get from the garden crowd. The nets don't have a point guard.

They are spreading the floor more..Melo isn't at the elbow but closer to the three and in the corner a few times..He doesn't look comfortable..I think it's a function of getting used to the triangle..If body language means anything, the teams doesn't like it...

Yeah I'll be trying to pay more attention to what they do in the 2nd half.

Rose could've had his 2nd 3 if he was paying attention to his feet.

These sets definately have a few easy looks at the basket..They need to mix it up a bit with PnR to keep the offense fresh and defense guesssing..But the few triangle sets at the start of the quarters looks effective..

The Knicks made an effort to get everyone involved. Spread the floor but seemed a bit forced. May be good in long run. Second unit of Nets spread floor well and shot well. Lopez barely played early. Knicks had some stops and made a couple of threes to close half.

Getting looks. KP and Melo 7 for 24. Bright side is we are still in it. If they get hot we can win.

knicks lack of conditioning being exposed tonight. you play more actual defense you need to get fresh bodies out there. actually good news
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%
