I think Hornachek will still modernize the Triangle where 3 point shooting is addressed. We shoot more three pointers now than typicall a team would that runs the Triangle. I think Horny and Fisher run the Triangle quite different.
With Fisher we saw too many direct post up dumps. the worst way to run the Triangle unless Shaq or Pau were the one inside. The way I've seen Horny have these guys run it is more pinch post action, more 2 man games, more backdoor plays and lots of just screen setting and just finding the man coming off after setting the screen,
With Fisher/Rambis, I remember us posting up Kevin Seraphin and Kyle O'Quinn which was horrible to watch. I may be wrong about this, but I believe Hornachek does not encourage them to dump the ball into the post in the Triangle. That's the easiest way to defend the Triangle, to get the guy in the post or to isolate Melo in the mid-post. I believe what we've been doing in recent weeks is a contrast to what Fisher/Rambis did last year.
I do think Hornachek has done a "meh" job this year and mishandled things. But, I think he's much much smarter at both Triangle and out of bounds plays,
