Don't worry all the stars are in perfect alignment this year. You'll see. For one thing you have to understand how this coach and his system perfectly fit the players. This team makes sense from the standpoint of what Isiah's coaching philosophies are. This is why he should've been the coach starting last year.
The players Isiah' has on this team will work well in his offense, which is designed to make it difficult for teams to double your best players. If they do they pay a stiff penalty. WIth Frye, Jared, Lee, steph, Francis and Jamal we have the perfect players to run the UCLA shuffle/cut offense. Double high post, which we'll be able to exploit teams with. Frye's shooting and Jared's good passing are the perfect skills for that offense to work. Then using Steph and Francis to do what they do best and that is attack the basket. Then you have Curry who will make a good pivot for the Triangle offense. Having Jared out there will help Curry since i'm sure he's not used to making passes back out and Jared makes a nice big target and he'll know what to do with the ball, whether its swing it to the weakside or repost. If you look at the team thru Isiah's eyes it becomes much clearer how this team is going to succeed this year. Even from a defensive standpoint this team will have more options to throw at teams. We can go with a big lineup or a small quick lineup. There really isn't a team we shouldn't be able to match up with. This isn't a case of just blind faith. I have valid reasons for my optimisim.
Couple all of that with the fact that EVERYONE involved with the team has tons of motivation to make this work this year. I just don't see enough reasons to be pessimistic. There's overwhelming evidence that this time the team is on the right track.
The Isiah Shuffle.....
Good one :)
But do you have an actual point regarding what I wrote? Are you a fan of the offense that Isiah wants to implement or not? Do you think these players fit his system much better than LB's? I think this is how things were supposed to be. Isiah should have coached the team last year. I'm glad he's doing it this year. I've always been a fan of the offenses he's going to use. With a simpler defensive scheme and more man to man, I think we'll be better on both ends, tho MUCH better offensively, where our strength lies.
Do I have a point? Just sarcastic pictoral to your undying faith. Thats not a put down.
I respect your positive enthusiasm despite my cautious pesimestic approach. like a jilted lover, I have been too hurt an scarred over the oh so many years of Knickdom.
My anus is scarred like a young boy confined to a turkish prison from the Starphuching this team has done since the 1970's.
