They're beating the TWolves right now 104-91 late in the 4th. They're doing it without Kobe, Nash, Blake and Farmer.

better coach, more talent, better younger talent, and gasol would be the best all around player on the knicks...
nick young provides the scoring when needed..

gasol two assist shy of a triple double..

lakers are .500 team after this win.

Knicks lead the league in Dumb Players and coaches!!! I think Woody just called another ISO Melo play! The Knick fans who think LA is gonna take Melo are nuts. Why would they want to change up from playing TEAM BB just to have Melo run ISO plays? They already have Kobe who dominates the ball. MDA prefers a team like this with unselfish players.

that is another thing knicks fans don't consider.. MDA is the coach.. remember the last time he coached carmelo? didn't work out to well... the lakers are playing pretty good.. now they are not a contender by any stretch of the imagination, but if they keep winning a lot of those young players will become nice assets to move in the near future..

Almost every one of their role players moves the ball and even tho Nick Young is about the most shot happy guy, but it's OK cuz he's aggressive and they need someone to have that kind of game. I've been watching the Lakers since last year and this is more of the kind of team MDA likes. You can see the ball and player movement. They share the ball and keep it moving, but in a productive way. Those kids can get out and run even tho they don't have a PG right now. It's very similar to the Team MDA had in NY before the Melo trade or when Melo was out and they had Linsanity going. No stars but lots of team work. Gasol complains, but he should realize this is a good situation for him if he buys in, which it seems he's doing now.

exactly and they get scoring when needed. knick young averages 15ppg but when needed he can get points in bunches, and it doesn't have to stifle the teamw offense.. something carmelo after soooooo many years in the league still doesn't get.... but if you listen to knick young, he is weird cat, his dress, style, but he is a well spoken and seemingly smart and pleasant dude... that stuff spreads throught the team.. he and gasol were having fun with each other on the court and that unity breeds success.... the lakers are fun to watch.... the ball moves, guys are getting shots and they are playing hard for dantoni..

People thought I was wrong to blame Melo for doggin it and dragging the team down when he was playing for MDA. The Knicks Org never really supported MDA by giving him the kind of players he needed. For a while Walsh and MDA were on the way to putting a team together that could do that, but I think Dolan was never on board with that. Once they brought in Woody I knew the Nepotism fix was in. Now they've got Woody and Melo as they wanted and it's not working out.

Thing with Woody is that he's no better a defensive coach than MDA. He just talks about it more, but results wise he's really not that good. The real difference maker is having good defensive talent on your roster and a commitment to defend. The Knicks aren't really built to be a great defensive team. As we've said before they're an offensive team with a couple of defensive players. That means they better be able to score efficiently. Last year that happened but Woody was never really sold on that style. We got fooled into thinking he understood what was working, but the second he got a chance to go back to his ISO style he did.

ahhh, I didn't think you were wrong, I was saying it all along, I lost all hope with carmelo when he sabotaged the team because he had issues with MDA..that was the point of no return with me for carmelo....

carmelo is an iso player that needs a lot of shots and he isn't efficient, doesn't defend and doesn't make anyone else better... time to bomb this joint...

So you were on board with Melo initially? I thought once Gallo was moved you were done rooting for the Knicks.

oh hell no, I was never on board, but I was coming to a point of acceptance as long as the douchebag behaved and helped us win.. but when he sabotaged the team, I could not even accept the fact that he was here... and never turned back.

Nah, we couldn't use him, as some around here said...... smh.....

You'll only frustrate yourself seeing other teams address their need at PG.
