Broken Record: Jose caught on a bad switch...Demar posting up on him leading to an And 1 dunk. And it goes on and on and on and on...
Time for my nightly appreciation for Vujacic.
If every player on the Knicks had the understanding of (and relaxed confidence in) the Triangle that Vujacic does . . . and every player went out there with the same enthusiasm and energy that Vujacic does . . . we wouldn't have nearly as many of these painfully inconsistent games.

We play Calderon/Afflalo as if they've proven themselves as championship ball players. How about trying Jose/AA off the bench and giving them one long stint like that. Neither seems to play well when they get 2 stints in a half. The other thing is unless KP is in foul trouble, we have to play him at Center when Lopez is sitting. We need that speed.
Lopez/Porzingis
Porzingis/Thomas
Melo/Williams
Vujacic/Afflalo
Galloway/Calderon
Yes, I'm at the point where I'd start Sasha and Gallo, just because the two of them are more balanced in their shoot/pass mentality. Jose is all pass, no shot. Afflalo is all shot, no pass. Ironically neither Afflalo or Jose are great at shooting or passing. Then defensive effort, I like what Galloway/Sasha do more on that end as well.
Rambis needs to make a change in the rotation and lineup. Too much narrow minded thinking going on. This is a team 9, 10 games under .500 - changes in the rotation and starters are necessary.
Sooooo.....play KP the whole game?
Lowry beats Jose off the dribble again and leads to Jonas dunk. I can do this "All night long" like Lionel Richie. But Jose is not the problem on defense, right? He's doing fine out there. By the way, he still has 0 points in over 20 minutes.
Any chance we can get this to single digits going to the fourth?
Take Porzingis Calderon n Afflalo out the game until garbage time !!!
Time to yank Hose-A...for good.
put Jimmer in this horrible game. These guys are A joke

No, take out KP at the 6 minute mark of the 1st Q, and if not then Lopez. If KP goes out, you bring him back at the start of the 2nd Q. If Lopez goes out first, you play him at the start of the 2nd.
Losing is one thing but getting absolutely "pantsed" on your home court is inexcusable.

He's one of the problems on defense.....just one of them.

Did you happen to catch the disparity of weight and muscle while he was attempting to guard Valancunis?

i hate afflalo. Terrible signing
it's personnel. The Knicks just don't have anyone better than these two right now unfortunately. Behind them are fringe NBA/non-NBA players like Galloway and Jimmer and Grant.

Afflalo is the best guard on this team so even though he's not that good he needs to be playing 30 minutes a game.

Don't talk in reality cause some just don't understand reality.
