Ditto
Can they? - Yes
Will they? - No
I'm giving a Patrick Ewing Guarantee. Which doesn't mean much.

tonight?
a better poll might be - Can they stick with the game plan for more then 5 minutes before Melo decides it's time to play 1 on 5
I think they WILL win Thursday. Melo needs to get about 30 (but not with 30 shots). The biggest thing he needs to KNOW is with the defense coming at him, he can also set up others and get about 10 or more assists. Novak needs more than 3 shots. Same with J.R., score but get others involved. Knicks need about 30 assists, everybody needs to rebound and get to the free throw line. Don't just do what Miami expects, surprise and confuse them.

I said yes too- I went head over heart
Wishful thinking. Lebron means business this year.

I agree. The Knicks have been running some pretty bad offense only in spurts have they really been disciplined and moved the ball as they should. We need to force the Heat to guard the entire floor and keep the ball moving until we get a good shot. There have been open players but Melo has tended to force shots rather than pass to the open man. We can't go another game without getting Novak a ton of open looks.

Misterearl put it best to you:
Fix The Knicks Offense
Save the silly strategy diagrams and video clips. Save the unfavorable matchups for another day.
Please save the amateur armchair coaching.
Find Mike Woodson an aggressive and healthy point guard.
It ain't that deep.

uh huh. In my alternate universe, the game is tonight. 
But I will also say that they will win tomorrow night in your universe.

Of course Woodson has a plan! He plans to dye his beard sometime before the game starts.
I think it would be a good sign if Woody would dye his beard in rainbow colors. Then I'd be more confident of a win.

IT only seems simple in you and Misterearl's mind. What good does it do to suggest the obvious but impossible solution??? Anyone could come up with that. Since we dont' know when Lin might be healthy enough to play and even if he did how effective he would be, you need REALISTIC solutions to the problems this team has had. Most of it was that they haven't stuck with what works. They start off moving and sharing the ball, but then they fall back on LAZY BB. Only in your non statistical world, where you don't have to back up what you say, does the Team Oriented approach not make sense.
Everyone else that knows what the hell their talking about and has looked at the numbers knows that this team needs to keep moving, spacing the floor and sharing the ball in order to get better shots and get everyone involved in the offense. I don't know what you and Misterearl are even suggesting that would trump that suggestion. I love for either of you to show us a better plan with the players we have available right now.
