2 Follow up questions to your question.
1) How do you know that Phil knows that?
2) Since when can Phil able see into the future? Man probably can't see 10 feet in front of him without his glasses.

In his first press conference three years ago, he said "the triangle is much maligned in today's NBA"..Kind of an admission, no?


Its an admission that players in the NBA aren't exactly found of it. As he said in that press conference, he wants the knicks to play system basketball. So if the triangle, much like any other system, pans out in NY..why would it be logical for the next guy to strip it down?

It's not only the player but other coaches doesn't than to run it..

Every coach so far has tried to augment the system to implement his own strategy..He fired the last guy and Hornacek was hire becuase it's known that he would capitulate..

Why, do you think there are coaches out there dying to run it??..How come Phil can't find them?


I'm not saying that coaches are dying to run it, but if the the triangle system works now, why would someone try to strip it down and do something different?

I'm sorry, we you asleep during Woodson tenure???..Why would some one tear that down when it was working??? Is that what you asked???

I saw that..Phil will be doing the unveiling of the statue...Make sense now that Shaq was giving him big cover about the triangle during the telecast of Knicks/Clippers..

A better question is how would the Knicks Triangle work if Melo actually bought in and passed the ball? It's not the system but the players. There are losing teams that run the most Metrics Oriented Modern offense so it's not really about that.

I explained this many times but you haven't been listening. If you are going to have Rose and BJ at PG then you have to run more Spread PnR! They did that for most of the season and then they went with almost zero Triangle for a short period.

In the end Phil decided to move BJ and bring in Randle who is a Triangle PG. Baker is also Triangle capable and so the move makes sense. Most of the players are capable in the Triangle except for Rose!!! Even Melo can operate in the Triangle and his only issue is not passing enough.

Is this you admitting your rants about Melo is total BS about not buying into the triangle???

I don't make rants about Melo not buying into the Triangle!!! I talk about him not being DadMelo! Not looking to make his teammates better and stopping the ball. Not giving effort on D!!! Those are the things I get on Melo about. GOT IT???

He is a diva living off his Championship royalties..Dolan just got suckered..Again..

Knicks always end up paying the price for these guys looking for their reward..I'm still not over LB trading Reezy for Franchise...

Its an admission that players in the NBA aren't exactly found of it. As he said in that press conference, he wants the knicks to play system basketball. So if the triangle, much like any other system, pans out in NY..why would it be logical for the next guy to strip it down?

It's not only the player but other coaches doesn't than to run it..

Every coach so far has tried to augment the system to implement his own strategy..He fired the last guy and Hornacek was hire becuase it's known that he would capitulate..

Why, do you think there are coaches out there dying to run it??..How come Phil can't find them?


I'm not saying that coaches are dying to run it, but if the the triangle system works now, why would someone try to strip it down and do something different?

I think getting Randle back was the right move. He never should have been waived. But all reports were that Jennings asked to be released so he could play for another team. I think Phil granting his wish was a good move but it wasn't his 'choice'. He helped Jennings out.

Its an admission that players in the NBA aren't exactly found of it. As he said in that press conference, he wants the knicks to play system basketball. So if the triangle, much like any other system, pans out in NY..why would it be logical for the next guy to strip it down?

It's not only the player but other coaches doesn't than to run it..

Every coach so far has tried to augment the system to implement his own strategy..He fired the last guy and Hornacek was hire becuase it's known that he would capitulate..

Why, do you think there are coaches out there dying to run it??..How come Phil can't find them?


I'm not saying that coaches are dying to run it, but if the the triangle system works now, why would someone try to strip it down and do something different?

I'm sorry, we you asleep during Woodson tenure???..Why would some one tear that down when it was working??? Is that what you asked???

ISO melo failed in 2013-14. We missed playoffs for first time in four seasons under him.

ISO Melo failed and Knicks triangle/Phil??

A better question is how would the Knicks Triangle work if Melo actually bought in and passed the ball? It's not the system but the players. There are losing teams that run the most Metrics Oriented Modern offense so it's not really about that.

Weren't you pushing Hornacek PnR/fast paced system a few months ago...You don't even know if you are coming or going...

I explained this many times but you haven't been listening. If you are going to have Rose and BJ at PG then you have to run more Spread PnR! They did that for most of the season and then they went with almost zero Triangle for a short period.

In the end Phil decided to move BJ and bring in Randle who is a Triangle PG. Baker is also Triangle capable and so the move makes sense. Most of the players are capable in the Triangle except for Rose!!! Even Melo can operate in the Triangle and his only issue is not passing enough.


I think getting Randle back was the right move. He never should have been waived. But all reports were that Jennings asked to be released so he could play for another team. I think Phil granting his wish was a good move but it wasn't his 'choice'. He helped Jennings out.

Phil didn't have to do that. It's clear BJ didn't have a future here. In the end I really don't care. What matters most is this team needs to refocus and from all indications the Front Office and Coaching Staff are getting fully in sync. Now the roster needs to be improved and they seem more clear on the direction in this draft.
