Who else?

He almost made it.. He always almost winning... but not quite...

Yeah. He doesn't suck. It's always almosttttt there with Melo. I can't hate Melo for that shot. There's a lot more wrong with the team.

It wasn't a bad shot BUT I just feel hey need to freshen it up. Once again KP is ignored down the stretch. Willy sits the whole game until the 4th quarer basically and he still is better than Noah or oquinn. We DESPERATELY need a point guard too

Yeah and it was on Tucker who is a brute. He held his ground though.

LOL...most on this forum want him playing stretch 4. He said he did not add upper body muscle in the off season, and I've complained about this for a long time, now.

Also have to say that historically, when he has gone to the basket he hasn't been recognized.

Needs to put on some muscle and stop working on 20 feet from the basket crossovers.

I would look more to the curse of Dolan though.

This. Also, KP at the 5 doesn't work if he can't set a screen.

We had a 5pt lead with 4 minutes to go and scored TWO points in the final 4 minutes. Just horrible but that's the reality.

We are still misusing KP. Its a shame because when he is the main focus we seem to be much more dangerous.

Yup. He did say that he had worked on his lower body...but I have not noticed this.

Team has to make decisions on how they want him to play...I would not leave it up to him, although I wonder if they told him to go easy on gaining weight because they knew they were getting Noah.

Yeah I didn't like the non call but at the same time Rose needs to be smarter on the other plays. I feel he gets frustrated by non calls and it affects him in a negative way

I would start Willy at 5 and keep KP at 4 for now.


Don't Willy and KP supposedly have good chemistry? They were championship winning teammates in Spain. They almost never share the court as Knicks.

Early 3rd quarter when he had his burst he was getting a lot of open looks off of plays by his teammates...then it just stopped. I think they put someone else on him, but he did not get many looks after that little spurt.

I've been saying it for a while now but how about some curl plays for KP? Set a Down Screen for him to catch and shoot in rhythm?

Agreed that's what so frustrating. We have this great young talent yet we don't use him enough. Maybe if we did we would win more games. I'm not suggesting he has to carry the team but he should be more of a focal point

we really need a traditional point guard who can pass.

Yes. In addition to offense, a starting PG who sets the tone on D has a better chance of getting everyone to buy in than one who doesnt play D, but talks about it a lot. Also believe a legit two way PG will get more calls when it matters.

As soon as we do KP will TAKE OFF! They forget about KP or simply can't make the pass on time or on target.
