Melo always has to throw it all the way back out and by that time, there's like 5 secs on the clock. Things have to change when Melo gets doubled. Guys have to move there feet, work harder, give Melo some better opportunities to pass the ball to cutters. When's the last time Melo has hit a cutter for an easy 2? I can't remember...It's either a high P&R for a Bargnani 3 or he gets doubled and has to pop it all the way back out as the clock is expiring...WTF is that???

I was gonna post this but did not want to put the effort into it. If the Knicks did not give effort why should I.

Under 20 now off the MWP dunk...Get this under 10 for the hal and we'll have a shot..

we haven't looked prepared in any game this season..

Finestrg wrote:What Bargnani said the other night on his postgame interview (paraphrasing): "we're free to do whatever we want on offense as long as we play defense" is just not good enough. We need so kind of structure out there. It's just a mess.

On teams that seem efficient with their offensive flow, some kind of penetration into the paint seems like SOP.

That's Bargnani's game --

Offense: B- (hopefully we get it to where it's a consistent B+ or better eventually)
Defense: varies between C and C+
Rebounding: D to F

also thank god we wasted a roster spot on chris smith instead of another big man

He's paid for the year. Time to put the garbage out. It pisses me off, every time I see him on the bench. Just shows that the Knicks are not a serious organization.

Agreed. The Spurs are a first class organization so its toughh not to envy their fans

It's being done in our faces, and they expect us to accept and respect this.

Right now Woodson is slumping even more than his players!!! I think he was trying to preserve any fouls for Bargs at the end of the half, but still. Woody is looking AWFUL in terms of preparing his team and setting rotations. He had JR, STAT and Beno out there with THJ at the same time!!! WTF!
