Phil is no fool and his offense is certainly capable of producing points. We need to stop this nonsense that the Triangle is incapable of producing a potent offense! He knows a team needs to be able to score as well as defend.

if you have basketball immortals like cole aldrich, bargnani, larkin and dalembert...theres no way you can expect much offense or defense. lol lets get the talent and everything else will work itself out
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Also, this was the first set of games of the first round. That average will drop as the playoffs go on.
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Why do people act like Phil last coached in the 70s? My other favorite is when they say the reason he won was because he had great players. Please tell me which championship coaches didn't ?

Phil's teams could always score and defend. That is the key to winning championships. It always has been. The 90s Knicks team were all defense but always struggled to score when it mattered the most. I always remembered how hard it was for the Knicks to score. They kept even the worst teams in the game.

So Phil Jackson better take note this is not 1992 anymore. If you cant score over 100 you have no chance.
You didn't have to score 106 pts to win games, just 98 as the average score for the losing team was 97.75...Harden and Houston gave up 108 pts to Dallas or the avg would have been in the low to mid 90s...
