Melo ball has allowed us to extend the lead along with good defense. Matthews is a good defender but too small to guard Melo on the block. Knicks exploiting it. That's smart.

Hooooooooooolidaaaaaaaay! Celebraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!

Holiday with the excellent block on Barnes on his jump shot then runs the break for the layup.

Kudos to Horny. The lineup change/2nd half adjustment has been the difference. We haven't seen much of that from our coaches the last 2 years.

yeah Phil has to just let Jeff Coach!!!

Bottom line - Melo is a 4 now. He's a very good 4 and a below average 3. End of story.


Running lineups with two bigs and Melo at the 3 is too slow for the modern NBA.

Holiday is exactly what you want in a role player. He's doing what Lance was expected to do. You can play small ball with him.

This is my thinking except I don't add the modern nba caveat

He plays best as a stretch 4. Need to shuffle lineups based on opponent

This is a Jeff Hornacek lineup!!! He's most comfortable with a smaller lineup that can move and groove on both ends.

Another good post. I Lisa lance from last year. He's been a disappointment this year so far

Holiday is pulling that same trick as Lance did except without the good shooting. Just because he looks like he does a good job it does not mean he is doing a good job. Tonight he has looked good.

I posted on the first page of this thread - Lance has a bone bruise on his ankle and plantar fascitis in both feet. Not great. Hopefully he can rest a little and recover.

WTF are you talking about??? Holiday has been working hard all year and building towards a performance like this. He looks like a good role player. 3nD guard with good size.

I'd really like N'Dour's nickname to be THE GREEN MOON. Let's make it happen, people.

He actually has a point Nix, holiday has been very inconsistent so far, and that's at everything, but i also agree with about his work ethic.

I also never really seen him play much until now, so i have no idea if he looks better than he did prior to coming here
