Knicks · It's obvious the ball isn't moving (page 1)

This is on the coach. He's in control.

the play i notice with almost EVERY NBA team is that when u pass into an iso, there are always cutters running thru the lane. that simply doesnt happen...i dont blame that on melo (one "L")...thats a coaching issue

Easy coach.

You play like you practice or don't practice offense in this case

Why when the mop up unit came on the court even the announcers were surprised how much the ball moved with Prigioni as the pg

Tell me what you see

One thing I really liked that Woodson did at the beginning of the season was to call TOs when he saw something he didn't like before things got out of hand. I don't see the same coach I did in the first quarter of this season.

Even if Woodson isnt the reason the ball isnt moving (I think he is), hes certainly not doing anything to fix it. Its on the coach.

Exactly

So what could have changed the coach, players fake loyalty, no leadership. Fear of losing the best player like George Karl did .

And here I thought it was a players league.

Is Melo's Iso personality to strong for the coach to influence the rest of the starters.

Woodson coached the 04 Pistons whenever Larry Brown was out, I guess he had more professionals on their roster back then.

We get ISO Melo because guys arent making shots. Plain and simple. Dudes want to overthink this. Woodson is trying to win games.If ISO Melo is adding to wins we will roll with that. D'Antoni cared more about his system than winning.

iso Melo is 12 for last 45

Melo plays bad we lose. Not difficult to figure out.

Which is why this team wont get out of the 1st Rd like the past 2 seasons

The ball isn't moving because Kidd has become ineffective. Even though Felton was PG Kidd was controlling the game from the SG spot. Kidd directed where the ball went.

But can the ball be moved around before he gets to Iso, we do have a 24 sec clock

The whole point of Woodson was supposed to be his toughness and emphasis on D. For those that really were his biggest supporters that was the thing they touted about him. If he's not able to get this team to defend on a high level, which he hasn't been able to do for a long time now, then all that's left is scoring and his work as an offensive coach is simply not very inspiring. I'm not sure what exactly has changed, but this team hasn't been as sharp with player movement and ball movement as they were. My only guess is that Woody has been moving away from the spread floor and ball movement, with PnR in the paint that we saw to start the season. Every time this team has moved towards more ISO it gets stagnant and loses games. It's lazy BB and teams can shut that down.

You know, for someone who has been right on so many things regarding the Knicks and someone who is an aspiring future NBA GM, you would think people would listen to me more instead of insult me.

I told you Woodson sucked when he was hired as an ASSISTANT. Nobody listened.
