Knicks · Respect Due: Landry is off his nut (page 1)

EnySpree @ 1/24/2012 9:37 PM
He's been playing well. He has bounce and playing with that crazy locked in stare.

He's having fun...finally

loweyecue @ 1/24/2012 9:39 PM
Yep dude's dialed in, fo sure
MaTT4281 @ 1/24/2012 9:40 PM
Thank god...he's the lone Knick on my fantasy team.
GustavBahler @ 1/24/2012 9:41 PM
His transition game has been outstanding and he is starting to use his first step (which is pretty quick) to get past his defender in a half court set.. For the better part of this season and post Melo trade he would try to do it with the dribble and was going nowhere. He is also shooting off the dribble more which is a very welcome development.

classy kid - can't not root for him.

How long will it take for Misterearl to sniff out this thread?

ChuckBuck @ 1/24/2012 9:43 PM
FINALLY! You could tell he's playing with confidence the last 3 or 4 games. Picking his spots on offense, and playing much better defense. High plusminus on the team tonight +29
gunsnewing @ 1/24/2012 9:46 PM
If only he could hit that corner 3 consistently. Playing with Melo, Amare, Chandler, Davis it would be HUGE. He does look comfortable like the Landry of old. Driving and scoring in transition
crzymdups @ 1/24/2012 11:56 PM
yeah, think he finally learned how to play with melo. melo found him on a few cuts to the rim tonight.

glad landry is back.

i have a feeling that when baron starts, landry will stay in the starting lineup and toney and iman will be the speed demon unit off the bench. i'm fine with that. baron shouldn't be playing more than 24 minutes for a while, so it shouldn't take away too many of iman's minutes.

really glad landry is back tho. he was missed.

crzymdups @ 1/24/2012 11:57 PM
holy shit: landry has twelve assists the last two games. that's a new wrinkle, i feel like. i never thought of him as an assists guy at all.

Landry Fields is the most versatile (and quite possibly the most intuitive) player on the active roster.
JCrusher @ 1/25/2012 12:02 AM
Ya fields looks like he did the first half of last year which is good for us

haha - not long

kudos for sticking with him. he looked really good tonight especially going to the basket and defensively. Still would like to see him develop a better shot. I don't think it's anywhere near it needs to be for an average to above average 2-guard

RonRon @ 1/25/2012 1:32 AM
great game for everyone, much needed W.

I really didn't know Fields still had a first step till today since Gallo, Chandler, and Felton were here.
He really got us going and Melo kept feeding him the ball, which he delivered.
Good to see Melo gaining confidence and the rest of the team stepping up as some did last game, but pretty much everyone did today.

Fields also fit in and played well with the 3rd unit as they played cohesive, uptempo basketball, with Lin leading the pack.
Lin had some jitters, but he was the facilitator.
I can see Lin and Jordan having a better bond with each other since being sentenced to the D League and returning to the Novak + Balkster and friends...

unstopaball12 @ 1/25/2012 4:20 AM
he has been playing really well lately he is slowly getting his swagger back, i really hope he starts even when baron comes back it just balances the roster more. He is going to be the glue guy in the first unit, while tone and shumpert can play great d and share with the ball handling duties in the second unit.

Everything is better than at the start of the season. I'm surprised his rebounding isn't the near where it was in the 1st half of last year though.

Chandler is grabbing everything

Landry-liscious

A jump shot is the easiest thing to improve. Like height, you cannot teach basketball intuition.

Rumble young man, rumble.

sealy @ 1/25/2012 10:23 AM
You can just see how much more confident and decisive he is out there. It's like night and day
Knixkik @ 1/25/2012 10:29 AM
I like what he's doing, but i really want to see an improvement from his outside shooting. He still is not where he was last season in both shooting and rebounding, the 2 things he excelled at.
EnySpree @ 1/25/2012 11:24 AM
Its good to talk positively about a guy. IMHO dude just wasn't competing up until the last 4-5 games....that's why I made that FU thread....I still think he's soft but he's finally clicked that switch. I'm glad now we can focus our energy on moving forward and playingbn real team ball
jrodmc @ 1/25/2012 11:31 AM
Glad no one's extending the Melo sucks hence Landry excels theory.
