The triangle may be outdated and the New York media may run a daily slash-and-burn attack on Knicks president Phil Jackson for still adhering to it and building a team around it, but with the right offensive threats and execution, it can work.

"It's a lot of just reads, a read-and-react kind of offense to an extent," Blake said. "But there's ways to manipulate it to get the ball to the guys you want to have it. Obviously Kobe (Bryant) was the master at that. You could see the Knicks are starting to figure that out and they did that well tonight and they took advantage of it."

We benefited from the fact that Detroit's guard play is simply not that good, and they don't have the speed to burn us like Boston did the other day.

The Triangle needs players who move to get into position to receive the ball with the intent to score...we simply have too many guys- Gallo, KP, Lopez, Grant, Calderon (frequently) who are not taking the shot when they have it, or not moving without the ball. The 2 things go hand in hand, by the way.
