If I was supreme ruler the next time Jose stops the knicks fast break or cuts under a pick I would sit him at the next instant and send in Jerian to send a message of accountability. Actually if I was a supreme ruler I would do that regardless. I think Jerian will play better and more consistently if he was surrounded by melo and AA

Don't get me started......I said he should start simply because he can play the SF and PF.....Gives Melo some flexibility on who to guard. With KP, he can't guard most SF...and quicker PF's. But Dwill, Lance can guard both positions.

I think between Melo dominating the ball....and Rolo dominating the paint, it's hurting KP. Then when KP is at center, he's not strong enough to hold his ground, and gets moved out of the paint, which minimizes his rim protection.

I still want to see Grant and KP play a 2 man game.....

Agreed. DWILL can play the 3, which allows Melo to play the 4 which he is most effective at and once KP gets stronger, he will be able to play the 5 and provide some offense from that position. All three can score inside and out with this frontcourt.

I had a sense he did this. Early in the games they were actually feeding KP. I had to rub my eyes to make sure. I think KP played poorly simply because he was they were surprised they were passing to him

I think he is playing poorly. I think teams are adjusting to him. He had amazing offensive rebounding numbers to start the season but they have declined. Teams are adjusting. I think Porzingis is going to be a hof but I think it is a process. He is a quick study but you have to expect teams/coaches to recognizes his strengths and weaknesses and start to game plan around them. To not do that would be stupid and not thorough.

He is playing poor tonight. The surprise comment was just in jest but it was weird that they were actually running plays for him

Let's see who fish runs out to start half. Fingers crossed Jose is on the bench. He needs to stop talking about accountability and start acting. Jose is just not effective in that role if he doesn't shoot

Also I think a lot of people are overreacting on rolo. He adds a lot to this team as he did for Blazers. He's being misused to start the triangle. Maybe someday he can contribute there but right now he just consumes 5-7 seconds w no play development.
