How can we get this team to work ??? What coach? Something needs to be done. We def need a point guard.

WE Do Not Look Better Without Melo In This Game. Are we watching the same game? We took 23 3's in the first half. Thats waay too many three's. Walker just happens to be hot but this is fools gold. This is not winning basketball. We are moving the ball but its moving east and west not north and south.

not sure I agree with this. Our PGs still can't penetrate or pass with any type of purpose, but the ball is not stopping where it shouldn't. 3-pointers aside, the offense just looks more fluid.

That wasn't the point. He said we look better without Melo. I was disputing that. Plus we played, what, 24 mins and we already have a post about looking better without Melo? This is getting beyond silly. We go quarter to quarter, game to game looking for someone to blame. Looking foe reasons to blame Melo. You didn't like the trade. We get it, but enough already....

The ball movement is better without him. Look better as a team. So back to What I was trying to say. Since everyone wants to keep this core. How do we make it work?

We've had plenty of games where the ball has moved like this, but unlike many of the other games, Fields, Walker, Douglas and Bibby are making the same open shots they've been missing previously. Any offense looks good when the shots are falling. Unfortunately for us, our shots haven't been falling for a while....
At first I liked the Melo trade but now I don't. He is truly affecting ball movement. That can't be denied... With that said HOW CAN WE MAKE IT WORK??????????????

Look its obvious you REALLY like Melo but its is ok to be critical of him once in a while
I think Amare has the strength and touch around the basket to be a talent post up player!!! frustrates me he doesnt bang... Why don't he take it thetr and we run a triangle with Melo and Amare playing in the post and we surround these guys with 3 point shooters.
The shooters on this team have historically been good 3pt shooters. Only this year to start has been way below their career numbers. So long as the ball is moving and guys are taking shots in rhythm and wide open they should make some. Anyone that thinks this team is supposed to shoot as poorly as we have this year from 3 is nuts. Go look at last years shooting % from 3 for TD, Fields and Walker.
Our real problem is getting scoring in the paint. Gotta get our bigs some easy baskets.
3rd Qtr 11:48
MIA 53 NYK 48
Getting Anthony in foul trouble should help.
Look we all know we need a point guard but we don't have one so why not force Melo and Amare to put their back to the basket. score inside and move the ball out. Just saying.

Amare doesn't post up because of 2 things:
1. He has a very high dribble which makes it easy to steal the ball when he is posting up
2. Defense always sneaks up on the weak side and surprises him because his teammates don't communicate the help defender is on the way.
