and Rose and Melo go to the basket, get whacked, and no foul call?

Its disgusting. Almost as bad as our defense

That DRose Trial really messed us up cuz it took away the chemistry building time we needed.

Also I really don't like what is happening with the Offense either. They're meandering in the Half Court rather than attacking the way a Hornacek team normally would play. This isn't his offense at all. This is a bastardized version of the Triangle that needs a TON of work to even start to be useful.

I'd rather they go with more PnR and Spread looks early on cuz this style of play is taking the ball out of KP's hands and making it harder for our shooters to get open looks. They're just not sharp enough running the Triangle stuff to make it close to effective.

The offense is SLOW and there's no real spacing or enough action to make the defense chase and get out of position. I don't like it at all.

Stop talking about the triangle. That's not the reason we're down 17.

What, are you kidding me,thats the main reason, not the entire reason..other reason is the rockets are +10 on the boards, and check this out, they only have 8 fast break points, they are running 7 secs or less like he did with the suns

I agree to an extent. The Knicks are getting shots. They just aren't making them. The Knicks are getting their transition trys too but Houston is getting back on dedense. Houston is running on everything and the Knicks aren't even trying to play defense.
