Phil's system is based on player movement!!! It's also good for this team because we don't have to wait on the miracle PG. The Triangle isn't predicated on great PG play. It's one of the best aspects of the system. He's never had a great PG and didn't need one. I think he'd know how to get the most out of a kid like Shump and if not we still wouldn't have a need for a pure PG if we switch to the Triangle offense.

Phil is all about fundamentals and that's gonna be huge for the players on this team. We've seen so much DUMB BB that it's hard to imagine how much better they would play with sound fundamentals and playing smarter.

he had 2 of the greatest players of all time, both of them capable ball handlers with IQ's through the roof, he doesn't have that luxury with the knicks

NYK Fans take the Knicks seriously

Huge difference

the guy is a business man, he always admits that he doesn't know all that much about the day to day ops, he's biggest flaw is that he continues to hire bad ppl give them freedom, then takes it back, stays loyal to dimwits..and he always sounds like he's drunk

This is an interesting video of the Lakers facing a top defense and running the Triangle. The main thing is the passing and player movement. Not a lot of standing around or looking for ISO. Not a lot of PG heavy dribbling either. Just get the ball moving and make cuts or curls, some screens, give and go. Big men making passes too.

knicks1248 - Dolan is no business man. He was born into a wealthy family. Huge difference.

Throughout his early adult life Dolan battled drug and alcohol problems and was reportedly known for having a volatile temper. In 1993 he was sent to drug rehabilitation at the Hazelden clinic in Center City, Minnesota.

After originally pursuing a career in music, Dolan eventually switched to a major in communications at SUNY New Paltz and began working for Cablevision in various capacities including sales before eventually being dispatched to Cleveland by his father to manage the launching of a sports radio station. In 1995 he was made CEO of Cablevision.

Deep pockets, good cash flow, we got our own minor league team, no debt to pay off and a guy promoting culture and a system.

He is now a good owner. We can't undo the past.

Good for him. He back off and lets Phil run things. Its a great shield for Dolan and the fans. Good for all parties
