Fisher and Shaquille doing a great job explaining what to expect from the triangle..

Idiotic.

I think Phil via Rosen was right- Melo is a willing passer if he thinks it will directly lead to an assist, otherwise forget it.

I liked KP's game. Played really well. I think the Triangle suits him alot. His 3 point shot is off, but he needs to keep shooting those. He needs to work on adding more arc. His 3 ball is too flat.

Fisher's quote on KP sums up what I've always liked about him. He is the opposite of many young stars in the league.

At this point in the season, a loss is better than a win, and I personally want young players to get their chances and play well in losses. Tonight Willy struggled, but KP played really well. Hopefully Willy can play better next game. The losses sit much better with me if Willy and KP play well and we lose, than if KP/Willy are non-factors and we lose.

Hornachek was tanking hard in this game. The second quarter lineup he rolled out for a long stretch had 4 D leaguers in it. That early to go a Plumlee, Kuz, Randle, Baker .... with no Rose/Melo/KP with them. Definitely think he's in on the tank now.

We may win 2 or 3 more games rest of the season. Can top 5 (5th) actually be possible?

Scorebot is pulling a DRose on us. There will be no sanctions or further comments from management.

I couldn't do a split by month, which would've been more informative. At any rate Melo doesn't use PnR enough given his ability as a PnR Ball Handler.

Unless you can separate out the games just Fisher coached, I'm not really interested in the Fisher/Rambis combo numbers.

Anyone who watched the games can tell you Melo ran the pick and roll a lot more under Fisher than he has even under Hornacek and that the play became non-existent under Rambis, just as it has become non-existent since they re-focused on the Triangle at the all-star break.

I'm sure we will win a game we don't expect to somewhere along the way, but every game we play for the rest of the year is against a team that needs the game for playoffs positioning until the last game against the Sixers. I could see a scenario where we lose out. A game back of the Sixers and Magic in the all important tank standings. Hopefully we can at least tie those two teams

Its important. The Chi/Phili games coming up are the only ones vs. tanking teams. That being said I think we are looking at 2-10 which ends us at 29-53. We should be picking pretty high
