Carmelo Anthony said the team was outhustled and unprepared — a damning assessment considering the high stakes.

Sad performance. Suns energy impressive. Amazed how openly opponents criticize NYK defensive system, and how often NYK players mention 'preparation' in their post game comments.

It's like Woody takes pride in not changing anything- in his mind this has worked before so it should work again. Doesn't seem to grasp that teams scout, adapt and adjust- they figure out your system and it's weak points and play to exploit them. Not adjusting is just madness.

We have watched exactly, EXACTLY, E X A C T L Y the same crap all F***ING year and NOTHING has changed! It's maddening! Players have spoken out, opposing players have ridiculed it, opposing coaches have ridiculed it and yet he makes no changes what so ever because it work some games last year.

do you think the knicks are coached to go under the screens?

What would be the point? As long as Melo is here, they'd just waste their time force feeding the guy as he breaks off plays and demands the ball.

Valid question and often overlooked by people who want to continue to build around Melo

Even with Phil and the triangle you need team ball and roles

It can't be ISO all day and night

Even if he didn't, he had plenty of opportunities to tell him to stop.

what i mean is that it's one thing to coach switching and another to go under screens. the former is a strategy and the latter means there is no communication and no sincere effort to step over the pick and fight. i mean does every knick lack ears to hear a pick called and peripheral vision to see a different color uniform out of the corer of their eyes, moving screens notwithstanding?

you act as if it hurt the rockets...the rockets are securely in the playoffs, so are the raptors and the suns are fighting for a spot...

so far, so good for everyone..

goran is the focus of the suns offense, in Houston he wouldn't be and his numbers would not be as big... remember when Lin was the focal point of the offense he had incredible numbers...
