No Jerian. No D Will. Sasha playing over them. Not liking Rambis much right now.

Ok that was one major change. Melo out there to start the 2nd. Always 1 go to guy seems to be the plan with Rambis. When Melo goes out, I think Porzingis and Afflalo will come in. We've stuck with the same guys we closed the Q with. And given Seraphin significant playing time vs 1-2 minutes and a quick hook.

Only positive is that Kurt is actually giving Seraphin a real shot by playing real minutes and he's getting in a rhythm and contributing. He really is a good offensive Big if you give him time.

Melo has played the whole game so far. I guess we'll see how long that knee can last!

Better sequence minus Jose, Rolo, AA and KP
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

easy baskets get him going like many players...he wants to be more involved in the offense...looks like...

Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

I hope so cuz that's what they should've done all year.

It's also an opponent he knows very well - his old team

That's what I think at least.

Still early but he has done nothing different with the rotation so far. I am not liking the Triangle much these days. Initiating offense with Rolo is a joke. It should be Melo or KP or don't do it at all. Rolo is not a threat.

What did you expect him to do different in the 1st quarter exactly?? The starters play the most minutes in every 1st quarter just like every team does and Rambis said he's gonna try to always have one of his starting scorers on the court at all times which is something Fisher didn't always do so what were you looking for to change in the 1st quarter???

Yeah but I just hope he doesn't run Melo into the ground with a bad knee. BTW, Melo has more lift tonight on his J.

Clyde just said Seraphin has lost 20 lbs! Wow!
fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

Yeah, that I don't understand. It's this goddamn loyalty Phil/Kurt have with Sasha. No other team in the league would even have Sasha on the team, let alone play him.

Yes, this has been widely discussed . . .

Clyde says he's lost 20 lbs...did not hear the time frame.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

Start Gallo over Jose for defense. Run the triangle through Melo on the high post not ROLO.

So why did the Knicks look so good running the Triangle before MELO tweaked his ankle? They hadn't really gone to the heavy PnR back then but they were playing at a higher level. I don't think it's the offense. The players just lost their groove and have to get it back.

It's the players. They're missing all their shots and aren't playing defense. Same as it was with Fisher.
