The real game starts now. The 2nd half defense from opponents have given the knicks fits. I don't like that Fisher went away from playing small ball at times. Can the knicks finally learn and change up their tendencies which is what the triangle is all about, reacting to the defense and then countering.
Also, they can't rely on Korver to continue to miss those open shots.

I think he looks excellent. He is smart and he lets the game come to him.
He missed his shots in the first half but they were all good shots.
He also seems to be one of the only knicks who can penetrate.

Yup, I was surprised at how many he bricked, we got lucky.
korver 1-8 and we are tied. Not good. He had many wide open looks (as usual against the knicks) in the first half
just tuning in how are we looking tonight?

Yup our perimeter defending has been horrible and he is bound to start knocking them down at some point

He's got an Antelopey feel to him, light on his feet and seems like his stride is really long, so if he gets an open lane he can get from the key to the rim in just a few steps. I know the report is he has no handle, but I see a guy who can cover ground.
Add to that the fact he has already shown awareness on his drives and the the capacity to pass on penetration which means he plays with his head up. That's a good sign. Most of our team plays with their heads down and once they commit to the rim, they almost never dish on the way in.

Actually they've been paying more attention to Korver and that's part of why he's missing he feels he has to shoot quicker.
