Just in case there was anyone who hadn't yet seen Phil's Press Conference.

All of the bad moves we've made came through this (e.g. Signing Noah to 4 years, using Lopez asset on Rose, etc.). I have no problem with pretty much everything Phil said at his presser. The new york media people are morons and just want to make everything Phil ever says look as bad as they can make it look. What's wrong with Phil saying Melo would be better off somewhere else that he can chase a championship?? Nothing at all is wrong with that. He got up there and he spoke the truth which most GM's/presidents are scared to do cause that's just not the way it's been done for however many years. There's always been this thing that certain people in organizations are supposed to answer questions in a certain way and the all answer questions the same way but never just come out and say how they really feel but Phil does and sometimes he does say things that he shouldn't say but at least it's the truth whether that ends up hurting someone's feelings or not it's still the truth. I love the kind of players he wants to get in here that play both sides of the floor and move the ball and move themselves even when they don't have the ball. So much is made of the triangle because the media have made it into this big thing, not because it doesn't work cause it does work when the player buy in and you have the right players but with how badly it's been for us since Phil has been here it makes the media people look like they're right but they're not right. It hasn't been working because Melo and other players just didn't into it cause they were to busy listening to the media and what they say about the triangle instead of just buying into it as a team. This year it was even worse because we didn't just stay with the triangle from the beginning and sometimes used some triangle and there was a point where we pretty much used no triangle and then we went back to the triangle, it was a mess and we should of just ran it from the beginning or ran one system from the beginning. So now we start fresh again. It's gonna kinda suck starting again but if we just stick with one system and get the right players on this team it can absolutely work. It's gonna take 2/3/4 years until we really get this team where it needs to be but it will be worth it when we have the team we need and we're consistently winning games and making playoff runs and more. |

L.Thomas is non defensive?? R.Burgandy is non defensive?? J.Holiday is non defensive?? I actually think he did good of bringing in a good mix os defensive and offensive players to help Melo and there was more than enough talent on this team to make the playoffs easily but they didn't and that was for many reasons including Phil and Melo. |

All of the bad moves we've made came through this (e.g. Signing Noah to 4 years, using Lopez asset on Rose, etc.). I agree. It's a process to develop so many home grown young players. We will have quite a few coming back from this year and adding more on top of that. I think what will help next year is that they will have some continuity. Phil was happy with how Jeff had the team playing to close the season. The offense was free flowing and the effort on D picked up. It just proved that this team can play the right way. |
