I agree Elite, they played well in the first half but slowed it down in the 2nd half. They are not a good executing/play running team.....the problem is, they are not exactly built to run and gun either. Maybe they will find a way to combine the two styles.....hopefully.

Every time we win it's fool's gold. But every time we lose it doesn't matter what we do well at all. It's the end of the world each and every time. It doesn't matter if the officiating is terrible or if someone was injured or if we played a top team really close. The Knicks are held to account for every single flaw. But if they win... forget about it. Not one ounce of credit.

I have been making this same observation for a while now--the team plays better when they try to push the ball when the opportunity arises and when they put more defensive pressure on the ball.

This is not the same as running and gunning, which I don't think should be a goal at all.

Executing half court sets are simply not the strengths of the Knicks guards. They need to work on that, but why not let them play to their strengths more in the meanwhile?

Oh well, this season is pretty much a done deal.

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

200 mill = the approximate sum of the salaries of Q + Steph + Craw for the Democrat's mascot

We don't have this OR That. The sky has fallen and there is no hope for the Knicks. Our players all suck and none of them have a brain to speak of. We are doomed to another five years of loising because of that devil himself, Isiag Thomas, who we ALL know is guilty as sin, is ruining OUR team. We deserve better... yadda, yadda... woe is us.... we suck.... we stink.... bring back Al Bianchi...

Th Key quote is "when we play good D"! Bingo, that is the key! Our team is built to run in transition. except our point guard is not great at steals, and does not pass the ball well on transition.

And when we do score on transition, we suck at getting back on Defense! So larry had to slow it down very early in the season.

Play the "D", yeah, thats what larry is trying to do.

But you have to have a half court offense regardless, especially in the playoffs! Defense wins championships.
Ask Mark Cuban. Ask Don Nelson why his teams (in GS, Mil, and Dal) are fun to watch, but don't succeed deep in the playoffs.
