I posted the following in another thread where it may not have been welcome, so I'm re-posting here.

It's in support of Nixluva's comment that a fast break system is not the only system to run in today's NBA (which was in response to those who insist that the Triangle is "outdated" and that fast break and pick and roll are all that can work):

Surprised to see Toronto. I guess Lowry is a lot like Billups.

Atlanta's 23rd. You don't need to fastbreak to be a good team. But if you don't fastbreak, if you don't shoot threes, and you don't get a lot of free throws, you're going to have a tough time scoring.

san antonio's half-court execution is outstanding-- everyone is a willing if not great passer. it's not hard to see tex winters' values being put to good use there, ie "never dribble when a pass is available."

new york is still learning how to execute in the half court, and there are not enough willing passers in the rotation yet. afflalo is the main culprit here. still too much dribbling and not enough passing.

as to fast breaks, we'd have more if we could generate more steals. knicks are ranked dead last in steals.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

The Knicks have been HORRID at pushing the ball and even in the half court they fail to finish far too many shots right at the rim. Melo has been bad at finishing as well. Within 6 feet of the rim the Knicks miss WAY too many easy shots.

I fully expect there to be an increase in Fast Breaks when we upgrade the guard spots. Hopefully we'll see some new additions next week. Still this isn't a speed ball team. They will win games with better execution and continuing to improve on D. The hope is that Fish will continue to figure out the best lineups that can defend and score at a higher level, as we got in the last game. It's pretty clear at this point who the most productive players are and which groups seem to jive the best.

The idea is to have a good balance and not be overly dependent on any one aspect of the game. Yes improve on the fast break numbers but just be better overall offensively and be effective in all aspects of the game. Phil's teams were rarely if ever the number one team in terms of Pace during all of his winning. They were efficient and they were able to sustain their level of play in the post season. That's what he's building towards.
