Its pretty depressing to see the 7-Seconds-or-Less offense adjusted to a 24-Seconds-or-Less offense, but it seems to be the only way that Duhon can operate and we have no other option.

It certainly does make it easier for some of these guys to get back on defense though and use their length, especially Gallo, Jeffries, and Bender. When they are allowed to get back and get into position, it really cuts down on the passing lanes.

As cool as it would be to have a Bayless running the team and pushing the ball, I think that if you push the pace, Gallo suffers, becomes more of a bit player, and Chandler becomes more dominant. It will be very interesting to see who they add over the offseason and if they try to load up with guys that are capable of running the 7SoL offense.

You have to scratch your head at the Knicks' draft strategy for last year yet again, looking at the available FA class and the fact that we don't have a pick. You take Hill when there's a five or so guards on the board that can be a fit for MikeD's offense. They must have been completely sold on TD.

While it is a little sad, I guess this group (Duhon?) just couldn't pull it off :(. But 'props' to MDA for fine tuning and is just another thing we look forward to when we get a real floor general. Props props.

I think you can add Hughes, Harrington, Wilson, JJ to the list next to Duhon (of those who can't do SSOL). Def starts with the PG, but perhaps this is a good year for them to learn some of the nuances at a slower pace.
