Grant penetrating and setting up his teammates at will...
Grant running hard getting the pass and attacking baseline. Dropping pass to Lou. That's good stuff.
Langston just got a lot more pricey to keep for next season.
If Langston Galloway plays more than two minutes Tuesday, he reaches a threshold that increases his qualifying offer this summer from $1,180,431 to $2,725,003. Galloway's increase would, obviously, decrease the Knicks' cap space. (This assumes that they extend the qualifying offer to Galloway, thereby making him a restricted free agent.) Kurt Rambis is aware of Galloway's contract structure but says it will not impact how he decides to use the second-year guard Tuesday against Indiana. "That has no bearing on any decision that I would make," Rambis said. "It never has and never will have a bearing on what I do."
This Pacers team is not very good. The fact that they're in the playoffs and the Knicks are not is pretty sad.
Just having Grant out there putting pressure on the defense and penetrating is getting everyone such easier shots. Also, they're screening a lot on the ball so far, which is non-triangle, and it's helping Grant and the offense a lot.

That isn't true about the screens. It's always something you can use. The degree is up to the coach and players. It doesn't change the overall system one bit. Drag Screens, Down Screens, double and Triple Screens are all in the playbook.
Grant with another nice drive n finish.

Interesting--always thought that in the triangle you're not supposed to use high screens on the ball, which is what all other team essentially do in their sets. I like having the versatility to be able to use high screens to free up players.

PnR and other screen plays have always been in the offense. It's just not the sole focus of the offense. The Triangle is flexible so you can easily flow into any type of action. There are 4 out sets in the offense too.
