U-G-L-Y. He has the Empire State Building charging towards the hoop and he throws a low pass behind him...

The coaches have to realize that RLO can only be used as a token starter (first 7 min max of each half) and the rest of the time he's an insurance for Porzingis at the 5 spot in the case on FT or injury.

HALFTIME
SAC 46 NYK 39

But Vujacic probably isn't enough at this point.

I'm sort of pissed that Pau Gasol wasn't willing to come to New York last year. Steve Kerr, too, of course. Would also have been nice to get 2 or 3 types like Shannon Brown, Lamar Odom (when healthy), and Artest to aid the Triangle start-up.

I'm pretty confident that KP is a Triangle guy. Maybe one or 2 others on the roster will come around. But may take 2-3 years to find some more . . .

Has to learn to flop, I guess.

Barkley made a great point. The knicks don't run down the court, they jog! You can't play fast when you jog.

It really does seem like they're freezing him out. Maybe the vets are mad that KP was the story after he almost brought them back in the Dallas loss?

Mainly they went with him at 5, Melo at 4 and all of a sudden they got better play on BOTH ends.
Closed the half strong with that lineup.

Did you say coaches?? Lmfao

KP did not have a ton of space, but to wave him away like that seemed odd.

its their fukking designed offense!

So true.
Needed to get some timed suicide drills in then.

Yeah...thought it was strange.

Something weird is going on with the team and KP. You can see it on the floor.

Hope we see more of that in the 2nd half. We also need our guards to be FAR more aggressive in attacking the D and not just being Traffic Cones out there. Too much RoLo handling the ball and not enough of the guards calling for A screen and going with a 2 man.
