Oh ok

Sad reality. No guard on the team is playing well enough to take his spot. Oh...did you check his stat line?

This is so true. Lit up by Felton and deron.

Have to agree. Among most coaches, this type of offensive scheme is best when talent level is low. Or at the Y. But best when you have Jordan and Pippen or Kobe and Shaq on the team. Which at that point, doea not mattwr what you run. Really tired of slowing down the pace only to give Rolo or Seraphin the ball for decision making. Think running lots of pick and rolls with anyone and KP mixed in with post ups for Melo and Aflalo would be more successful. But must say, our defense in first 3 quarters lost us the game today. And we need more talent on the bench. Hopefully we continue to build the roster in months and years to come. Was not a fan of the Lopez signing, Felt it was a knee jerk signing after missing on Monroe. Would have preferred our 2 back up centers from last year and using that extra money on bench.

what you are going to see is fisher continuing to use the triangle as an underlying theme, but eventually he and his primary players are going to find a balance between starting possessions with the triangle or not. i think it is rash to scrap a system when the developmental arc of this team remains two years. just because kp6 has emerged does not change that narrative back into the "playoff or bust" meme.

like most posters i would like to see a greater amount of possessions focus on a melo/kp6 pick and roll game.

i did not see the game, but i heard most of it. obviously their defense is what sank them, as you say.

yes. LT is much better offensively than gallo

gallo is playing terribly stupid basketball.

I still trust Gallo more in the clutch and he is a more proven shooter.

Despite, Gallo's poor shooting he is still getting ast, rebs, & steps in limited minutes.

Gallo is our best closer PG

Good points. May be that I'm partial to several other schemes, most that are predicated on match ups. Which may differ from game to game. Hope and think you are right though. The team will have to figure out when to be aggressive and when to run the triangle. I just hope that the eagerness to prove the validity of a offense scheme does not keep the coaching staff from taking advantage of nightly position advantages.

i don't see an ego-driven monomania with jackson and fisher. nor do i see an asinine streak in fisher. i see a keen mind and a leader of men as well. he and his players are finding a way and in my opinion are developing and gelling according to schedule. twenty-two games in and they are on pace to win 37 games.

Same. Knowing the future of the Knicks is in good hands is something to feel hopeful about.

Can't wait until Melo and Calderon are washed off the books, hopefully sooner rather than later.
