I told nixluva the East is better

And this first half is embarrassing on all levels


Their point guard looks as green as green can be

They don't have Oladipo and they're not playing Ben Jordan


Who has a history of killing us

And yet they're doing anything they want


But thank goodness we have celebrity row at The Garden

I disagree. He played great help d ducking down inside on the weak side to help the big that was helping defend the penetrating guard. He did let Tobias step into a walk in 2 and was late on another jumper but other than that he has been doing well. It helped that Gordon is not a threat to shoot the three which meant he could relax on going completely out to challenge a possible three point shot.

I've decided its actually pointless even getting worked up about this team. Most of them will not be here next season so the whole triangle and formation debate is completely pointless with this group. Most of them are too thick to get it and don't have the basketball IQ in any case. Its questionable whether its even worth sticking with it but I guess its to save face. This season without a big multi player trade we are going to be lucky to win 30 games. This week we play several teams who look as bad as us and it will be interesting to see how many games we scrape.

I dont like Fisher body language as a coach thus far. He is doing a terrible imitation of Phil. Phil was always very involved.
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

We're losing by six at the half to what is essentially a D-league team. What does that say about us?

Hopefully, we can get a few stops in the second half and turn this around.

Is Jr Smith aware that we run an offense called the triangle? Cuz it doesn't look like it. Our defense will get better when the triangle becomes more effortless.

I agree, Melo is defending better thus far.

It makes no sense to get worked up when we knew it was going to take time to adjust to the Triangle and we're missing guys that were expected to be a big part of this. We know this team isn't at peak performance yet.

THJ needs to get all of JR's minutes. He is the only one who understands the triangle so far. He sure as hell doesn't over drible lik JR & sHump

Orlando TV announcers have been very fair and respectful about Knicks struggles early season. Can't believe how professional they've been compared to other teams broadcasts.

Orlando looks like they're running an offense

I don't know what shape it is, but it looks decent


And has entertainment value

I don't know what you're talking about JR is vastly superior passer to THJ. JR is actually running the offense much better than the start of season.

It looks a lot better against Knicks non defense. Take it easy with praising the Magic.

The Knicks are not working to take the best shots possible, always running down to clock and having to take the only shot available. Harris and Fournier are playing within the offense but also attacking (outside of the offense) when they have a chance. Knicks rarely attack, they are mid range and 3 pt crazy and that means very few free throws.

They are readin and reacting to the Knicks awful defense. Triangling without the triangle.

I was just about to comment on them but I'm bias because I grew up listening to David Steele do play by play. Jeff Turner is new but seems okay. They seem like they just want to call a good game.

I also like the love they give to the former florida H.S. players from team to team.

Kurt Rambis looks shockingly like Phil Jackson. They could be brothers or at least cousins.
