He's not going to get a flow the way Rambis has been yanking him.

he took a three ... they not happy ... want hooks

I know you get on the Triangle all the time, you get on everything (outside of Lopez) and have preconceived theories. He was not yanked for the 3 ball, he took a 3 ball early in the game and didn't get taken out. He got taken out for what I believe was poor defense on one end and then taking a quick shot (long 2). I know you'll say our poor half is the Triangle, yet we shot the ball at 50 percent. We scored 49 points on 38 shots, which is not bad. It's speed - a lack of - and a lack of defense.

If you look at advanced statistics, they show Porzingis is much better when shots are created for him than creating his own shot. And the one area where he actually creates his own shot pretty well? The post.

They're absolutely right in what they're telling KP to do. What I disagree with is the minutes. You don't bench him that quickly. It can hurt confidence and flow. Unless you feel the kid is supremely confident and won't be affected. We'll see in the 2nd half.

Knicks D decided to show up at the start of the 2nd. 7-0 run. Only down 4.

Did Clyde just call Rambis Ramsey?

I trust Rambis tough love approach. KP has the right mentality to take it and use it to get focused.
nyknickzingis @ 3/8/2016 10:29 PM
56 points on 40 shots and I believe something like 52 possessions. That's good offense. It's our defense and lack of speed guys.

Nice start

It's simply inexcusable to be out hustled play after play after play.

KP in dog house ... nice!
WP76 @ 3/8/2016 10:34 PM
Rambis certainly has KP looking over his shoulder and playing tentatively.

I like faried.

Interior defense has been dreadful all night.

And even Clyde said it earlier, Knicks don't push the ball or attack; they just walk it up and run their halfcourt. You cannot be a winning team like this. You need some easy buckets.

Actually, dreadful would be an improvement over what we've actually seen.

triangle effort tonight
SocraticBallin22 @ 3/8/2016 10:41 PM
Sorry to say it but Gallo not looking like an NBA player. His jump shot has gone south and he doesn't do much else. He's looking like a D league type player.
mreinman @ 3/8/2016 10:42 PM
so grant won't shoot even if the defender is 30 feet away and seraphucker will shoot from anywhere at anytime.

this is how you build and coach a team.

watch and learn kids. They don't coach em' like they used to.
