that was some great defense that half. Of course Rolo anchors that defense but if we had monroe, he would get more points. Good for the stinky bucks

Everyone should go to YouTube and watch old Bulls games. They have the full games. You will see that they ran many different looks besides side Triangle. This is nothing new.

Okay...if you have Tex's handwritten Triangle plays, we all will bow down and defer to your superior basketball knowledge. We are not worthy.
(p.s. I have pringles' offensive playbook

ESPN box score is finally up again . . .
No one can mess with me, I have watched hours of videotape archival footage of the 80's Larry Legend Celtic teams and have memorized every set of flawless half court execution.

Knicks shooting 56.8% . . . but KP was scoreless 0-1 in 9 minutes.
Are we finally seeing the Lopez we're paying money for (?)
That would be great . . .

The last 2 1/2 games?? Have you not been watching all the Games this year?? He's been playing all around basketball the whole season but the last few games show more cause we've been playing well.

It's not about shapes! It's about unselfishness, focus, trust, fundamentals...
I just get tired of reading comments about this offense from people that wouldn't recognize if the Knicks ran "Blind Pig" instead of feeding the post. Tex ran PnR within the Triangle sets with the Bulls. The offense has a lot of normal BBALL plays within the overarching system.

He's been playing better as the season has gone on, but the last two games against Atlanta and the 1st half of this game, he is playing exceptional making every one of his teammates better by playing the facilitator then the late game closer.

What?? JVG is awesome. I love listening to him do the games and i wanted him back coaching the Knicks at one time to.
Hold up..so if the triangle is about total basketball, then every other team runs the triangle then right?
Sorry Nix, but I am not quite understanding what you are saying man..
