Knicks defense was pretty awful but tightened up towards the end of the half
Will Fisher address this? I started watching the game with about 4 minutes left in the half. You can see how the flow stops at times when Anthony holds the ball too long or other players pay too much attention to getting him the ball.
The real issue is how Fisher and Jackson deal with this tender subject.

Larkin and Hardaway did the same thing- looking to hard to get the ball to Anthony- and in both cases you ended with a turnover.
Always a problem when youngsters and other players play with a scorer like Anthony- they feel the urge to defer. Sometimes they play better and more naturally without the star on the floor.
I expect that this goes on all over the league at times.
Hopefully Fisher has a good talk with Larkin.
Did anyone read the article on Kobe Bryant by ESPN?
The article was such a powerful exposing piece of the douchebag that is Kobe
LINK PLEASE????????
It's very long are you sure you want to read it
There a reason why Kobe befriends Melo and likewise
The Olympic bond makes sense and all things stated since by the two
A Douchebag knows another Douchebag very well

Melo has lots of Kobe's selfish traits and I am pretty balanced about him .... but can only be compared to kobe's azzhole level by haters

He must have because Larkin closed the half pretty nicely but I agree. I hate the deferring to "the alpha dog"
There is still a big difference in what Hardaway and Larkin did though. Hardaway missed Melo on a back door cut off a designed pinched post. Things like that will happen with any player because there are built in cuts in the triangle sets.
Larkin on the other hand threw an arrant pass to Melo in the back court when the system is designed for the guard to bring up the ball and another guard to trail. It wasn't a fast break or anything it was a mental break down that is not in the system.
You can live with what Hardaway did because that is going to happen when you have players moving but what Larkin did was a system fail.

I think in the film sessions Fish will point it out and after enough times it will be embarrassing for Melo. He'll get the point.
Overall the team has caught on and bought in to the ball and player movement. It's gotten better and better.

Those Larkin passes are easy fixes. I think that there is room for him here.
THJ's jumper is just inconsistent and he does not do much else (yet)

I just don't see Melo and JR Smith being the typical triangle guys Fisher/Phil probably want to have. I haven't seen much sharing of the ball from these guys---alright with Melo, we kinda need him to look for his own but I'm telling you--F JR smith. If he starts chucking shots and holding the ball I'd sit him.

This is going to happen with every go to player but the objective is to limit it to only a few times. To remind Melo and the pgs to get back to the system in breaks of play. I think you saw that as the half closed.

Starting to doubt that.
Fisher should say to Melo, go out and get me 8 assists. Melo seems to respond by saying "don't tell me what to do, Journeyman"
I think Larkin is sticking with Wall pretty well...Wall is just a dynamite player

If anyone is a Kobe fan, instant depression sets in afterwards
Good move by Larkin -- just missed the layup. Wanna see him make the move with more conviction. This kid's gotta look to get in the lane past his man everytime
Timmy again
Melo! PICK UP YOUR FUKKING HEAD

Yeah it's not looking good
These turnovers are horrendous...
How many humans on earth are as quick as Wall? Larkin is one of them. Larkin is small and that's really the only issue. He's doing than Felton ever did trying to defend Wall.
Loving Dally passing and Jason swishing
Jason Smith's midrange J has looked very good
