Just got home from the Knicks game. Wifey surprised me with tickets - I guess she doesn't listen to my rants about tanking and not supporting the knicks. Lol
here are some (obvious) observations....
- they're running the triangle but nothing is intuitive to them. You can tell they're thinking too much instead of playing
- melo is older now and you can tell. He barely jumps or runs hard. However he still has a deadly jumper and quick release
- willy hernangomez is all elbows and fights hard. I like his toughness
- baker is STRONG and can hold his own defensively.
- rose has no court vision or awareness at all. He's a scorer who happens to be masquerading as a pg.
- lastly, despite a blizzard and a horrible team, the garden was PACKED. All races, colors, religions, ages, shapes and sizes. MSG is a cultural landmark that visitors like to attend. the garden will ALWAYS be packed
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
