Melo made them. Specially when he was in his 20's. Don't think he got tired at game 38 either.

A lot of questionable calls and no calls down the stretch.

This games on KP - I don't care what excuses you guys make for him. He needs to get over being pushed around and mind fukked by every team.

We need an upgrade at starting PG like an SOB. Frank isnt ready, not until we see a lot more offense.

Welp This is what happens when you only have two NBA legit starters in the backcourt and one of them is injured and if we are being honest with ourselves Frank isn't even an NBA player right now....not by a long shot.

Jeff needs to make better plays for him as well. There is no reason why we should be ISOing on every possesion down the stretch.

This time 100. I get that Frank needs time, but without an actual starter at PG there isn't much room for growth

Wouldnt go that far, but the almost complete lack of offense from Frank and Baker is really hurting us.

There's poor coaching and equally poor execution right now.

Really? What about the lack of offense from the franchise player? It's the fourth and seventh options on offense that's hurting us?

Frustrating watching this team not able to get the ball to a mismatch when Porzingis has it. The vets - Jack, Lee are showing me a consistent pattern in their play. They can't create a shot for a teammate unless he is wide open. Neither is getting KP the ball when he has a good position. Frank makes mistakes but makes the right pass and i like his decision making.

The problem with this team the time line is all screwed

CLee Beasley Thomas OQuinn Kanter are all ready to play and win now.
KP and Frank need two years
Frank in particular - we need a point guard so bad is crazy

We are getting less production from our PGs offensively than any other team. KP has his ups and downs, but this problem remains.

I just think this idea that now all of a sudden KP has to be Melo in this offense is the biggest problem. THey're going ISO literally every time down. KP was never that guy and this season they've been forcing that over and over.

Just get him moving a little so he can get a Pin Down screen then Catch and Shoot look or have him cutting baseline more often so he can get the ball right under the basket rather than out at the Elbow and further. I can think of a LOT of ways to use KP besides how they've been using him.
