They used it a few times. It's a work in progress. I wanted to Jason Smith but he's not with the team tonight. The Triangle is always moving so it's not always easy to spot plus they don't have to always use it in its strict form.

The rotation is interesting so far.

Nice block Amare.
nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:10 PM
I like the energy of the 2nd unit.
F500ONE @ 10/8/2014 8:11 PM
Subs are in and our energy is up////


Travis Wear Era has begun

nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:11 PM
Nice D!!!
nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:13 PM
Good to see all the kids in the game. They have a higher level of energy. Plus we need to get a good look at them anyway. I like what I see so far
F500ONE @ 10/8/2014 8:18 PM
Real simple, cut Outlaw, Keep Wear
nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:19 PM
The B team looked good. But the C Team not so much. I like Wear and I think he should take Outlaw's spot. Outlaw looks like I remember him.

Carmelo jab steppin high post ISO

Pablo should do himself and the Knick's a favor, except a buy out, get this year's salary and retire, leaving next year's off the books

or

Just leave the Knick's as he doesn't fit with 50 year old legs, maybe a team that can cover his inabilties picks him up

Save a roster spot for us

F500ONE @ 10/8/2014 8:24 PM
Our defense is so bad, I know it's preseason

But come on we have to play better than this

nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:28 PM
It seems to me that Pablo is 3rd string and 4th if Shump plays in some lineups.
The Knicks will get sharper as they play more. This is the Celtics 2nd game.
RonRon @ 10/8/2014 8:29 PM
We are experimenting lineups and players

It is obvious that Pablo will get picked on night in and night out for his lack of speed/athleticism
I don't see the point of him bringing up the ball and quickly passing it off if somone pressures him

He always needs help, whether it is on DEF

to cover for him by getting blown
by or posted up
mid range/long distance

and even as a pass first PG
bringing the ball up, need players to make up for his inability to penetrate as the opponents DEF can easily cheat and recover fast enough

We have a lot of work to do, but I see signs, this definitely looks and feels like the first preseason game.

I thought we work some defense, wow

nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:31 PM
Bargs awareness on D has been good.

How dare him break the sacred triangle offense once in a while. I mean, Jordan never broke...oh wait....I mean, Kobe never broke..oh wait...I know, How dare I mention Melo in the same breath as Jordan and Kobe...

nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:34 PM
Bargs is also hittin the boards better.

We need to allow time for this team to get loose and play faster. They have a lot to think about but it will come faster as they get more used to this.

nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:40 PM
The execution and trust of the system will take time but I see good signs. I really liked the energy of the Kids off the bench.
F500ONE @ 10/8/2014 8:40 PM
Biggest note from first half

Shumpert got no playing time


Is he being held out because of some injury

Is Fisher taking a look at certain guys

nixluva @ 10/8/2014 8:42 PM
We're missing Shump n Jason Smith and they bring some nice things to the mix.

It's going to take a while for all of the players to truly grasp all nuances of the triangle. Hopefully our impatient fan-base will give the this team the cushion it needs as it grows and learns. Expect Lots of ups and downs this season as guys try to figure things out....
