Sasha going for 40 tonight and hoping to irritate a Suns player leading to their ejection. Rambis is not bright.
Hmmm? How can I make the back court worse? Sasha!
Rambust will soon need bodyguards while appearing anywhere in Nyc, I browse a lot of knick forums online, and i never heard more venom about any coach we have ever had.
For a coach to start the worse player on the roster on both ends, a player who has less then 6 wks left in the NBA, and call yourself fighting for a playoff spot.
Not only does rambust need to be fired, he needs to be kicked out of the NBA coaching fraternity. FROM WOODSON TO FISHER TO RAMBUST.
It would be a serious problem if i cross paths with rambust in the next 6 wks..I hope their are no kids around to hear what i would tell him
the first play was Sasha playing ole defense and I thought how absurd of Rambis!
Phoenix is terrible. The worst part is the Knicks are gonna win tonight and people are going to act like this is a good idea.
The Knicks SHOULD win tonight. If they lose it's a travesty.
Haha, okay nevermind, Rambis is a genius.

knickerflopper fan
rambis is the new ray handley
The legend of the machine grows
I've been saying it all along, we should've been starting Sasha since day 1.
You know Sasha is a nasty dude. He seems to get under everyone's skin every time he plays. He talks alot of smack. I just wish his game matched his ferocity. He can initiate the offense very well. He hasn't been able to hit his jumpshot enough. Tonight was one of those games were you see what he can bring. Wish he could do it more often. The Knicks need a guard with his size,skill and savvy.

How is that possible, they run PNRs

No surprise to me.
I saw 7 years of this in Los Angeles.
He's no all-star or long-term solution . . . but he knows how to play the Triangle very well and is a really useful glue guy.
He's a good deal at his modest salary . . .
I went to the Celtics game, Sasha was the only guard out there that looked like he knew what to do in terms of movement and getting into spots, and his defense was decent. He shut up some folks in the crowd. I don't think he deserves all the crap he gets from fans, he's not terrible at all.

I am tall, there for I should an nba all star.
Shows OP's bias.
Sasha is being paid 3rd string (backup to a backup) money and playing time. With Afflalo out, Galloway's struggles, Sasha's energy and offense experience showed.
The Triangle hate can continue all day and every year, but the offense isn't even close to the Knicks problem. They need more talent, more from Porzingis as he gets older and they need to keep adding talent through the draft and free agency.
The Knicks will be running a higher pace next year. Their offense rating is currently 18th, and their pace is 26th. With some better guards next year and more playing time for Grant, we can push and play at a higher pace. With that we'll score more a few more points a game. We can and will be better. But it'll take time.

My bias is that Phoenix is terrible?
Why don't you look up what our pace has been during the Melo years (hint: it's always been the same, triangle or no triangle) and get back to me about how we'll magically start playing at a faster pace next year.

at the same time you will need to also help us understand why Pace is all on Melo and not also something else. Could it be the guards?

I thought this previously, but Melo has the highest usage and the team's pace has been nearly the same whether D'Antoni, Woodson, Fisher or Rambis was the coach.
The pace is due primarily to Melo. He's the only constant over the past five years on the entire roster or coaching staff.

Usage = Pace? Is that the formula? Or is it a combo of defensive rebounds, guards, and team?
