The difference was apparent Sunday against Atlanta, when Fisher and his staff told Grant it was OK to go back to his bread and butter by calling for more ball screens and relying less on the triangle offense, since the Hawks were jumping passing lanes the Knicks use as part of their triangle attack.

Yeah I was screaming for Fish to use KP and Jerian together, which they at one point had only play a total of 17 minutes together all season! It's a natural combo that should work GREAT. They also haven't fully explored Jerian and DWill in the Pinch Post. I can see that being very effective too.

“If you come from being a point guard and a leader on a college team, then go to a pro team, you may be the lowest guy on the totem pole in terms of whose locker room it is, whose ego is the biggest, who you have to satisfy when you’re out there, who gets the most touches,” he said. It’s not your ball to play with to do whatever you want to with it,” Fisher said.

“The offense we run, some teams are starting to read what we’re doing,” Grant said. “So to change things up a bit to make me more comfortable, I think it helps us out.”

It helped that Grant’s screener was Porzingis, another player who thrives in screen-roll scenarios thanks to the inside-out pressure he puts on defenses. Twice in Sunday’s win, Grant drew two defenders trying to cut off his drive and kicked the ball to Porzingis, who had popped out behind the arc, for a pair of wide-open 3-pointers. Then on Monday, Grant collapsed one side of the floor briefly with a drive, freeing up Porzingis for a shot he banked off the glass.

This was one of the main reasons i stay on fishers case, Just constantly going away from sht that was working and progressing his player

Grant is who he is, can't make him into something he's not this early in his professional career, grant played very well with KP in SL.

The fact that fisher and his staff took 30+ games to figure this out is mind boggling, in addition to that, benching KP, Afflalo, and melo a the same time. WTH were they thinking???

Everyone needs rest especially KP and Melo. KP cause he's a 20 year old rookie who isn't used to this much playing time and Melo cause of his knee and age. You have to remember that Fisher is learning and last year to me doesn't count for much cause he had a horrible team that you can't learn with so for me this is his first full year learning the head coaching job.

BS, last year he gotta pass, and this year you want to give him another, then next yr it will be "it's only his 2nd yr". The dude gets paid like an elite coach. You guys kill melo about his contract doesn't add up to his production, and keep having sympathy for fisher and his staff.

It's time to take the kid gloves off this coaching staff, I'm happy they have finally gotten together after a 150 games. Let these players play ball, and stop trying to turn them into something they are not, especially over night.

neither fisher or jackson's salary count against the salary cap. if anyone should have a beef it's dolan.

alas, dolan has admitted he knows nothing about basketball, and the results of his meddling has been the last 15 years of being a laughingstock. at some point he was forced by the league to hire walsh, who he managed to alienate, and then he was eventually cajoled to hire jackson.

you need to realize that patience is required with the team. it is under the weight of a lot of karmic inertia.

there's a plan in place and they are sticking to that plan, with some tweaks along the way. by the time the knicks are within striking distance of a title, ie a top 6 team, a number of the players you see now will have likely been replaced while the coach will more likely remain.

why? because winning organizations are ordered from the top down... just as bad organizations rot from the head down.
