That was not on melo. Smith should have been looking for a pass. The number one rule is alway create a passing lane in case the ball handler gets in trouble.

he went 1 on 3 on that play!

Im talking about the pass part of the play. You are right 1 on 3 is bad but Smith needs to always create a passing lane.

once he leaves his feet there is no such thing as a passing lane. compare what pierce would have done. melo has to learn hw to take an extra dribble in traffic, THEN there will be a passing lane

I guess we agree to disagree with the bold. When I play I always make passing lanes. By being in the paint with the person going to the paint you are also bringing you man to double team him. This is part of the reason why Melo was in a 1 on 3 situation. It creates bad spacing.

We knew he could shoot but I gotta admit I expected a little more outta Jason Smith all around. There's gonna be times when his J isn't falling or he's just not getting good looks---but his D and rebounding needs to be a constant plus.

A big thing tonight --- come out and play well in the 3rd quarter. We went 2-5 in the preseason and I swear we lost every game in the 3rd quarter. Win the 3rd quarter tonight.

I would not include Acy in the size category. He is a undersized blue collar effort guy. He is letting Gibson get post position too deep right now though.

Smith has been abused since the second he came in.

Chicago started the game loose. Tightening up at the end of it, not making the same mistakes.
Need either Stat or Melo back in to start the 2nd.

ok fine but surely your passing angles are reduced once you are in the air?

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Damn this second unit is brutal
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

Defense is bad without Dalembert, shumpert and larkin

Acy has been good
Jason, JR & THJ awful

Team is looking pretty incompetent to start the 2nd quarter. They already are going to have matchup issues late in the game, so if they can't execute this could get ugly.

And JR making two contested shots is almost like daring him to keep chucking. Could get weird.

I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!
