Long time NY Giants fan. My son happened to become more of a fan of basketball therefore we agreed to follow the Knicks. Started watching the preseason games this year and I have to say I'm impressed with the bench so far. Can't wait to see D.Rose on the court with Melo, I think with this group it will open up a lot for Melo. I love the energy that B.Jennings brings from the bench, I hope that will continue and become infectious. My son and I have been cheering on Baker, and Plumlee they seem like some good young upcoming players. I was just wondering why a lot of people don't see Randle making the final cut, I thought he seemed like a productive player. I would rather have O'Quinn I love how he fights for rebounds. Also, any advice about posting on these boards? Go Knicks!

Welcome.

Be ready to have an opinion on the Triangle.

Are you for it . . . or against it (?)

We got some of each here . . .

He's injured and out for a month.

Tough decision will be made later . . .

Don't jump on me about this. Isn't the Triangle an old offensive game plan, from what I remember I did like the system but this is when I was young. I'm guessing we're running something more complex then that. All I know is that I do like the movement on offense, plenty of picks, trying to get guys an open shot.

welcome... its a good time to really follow the team. They should be good enough every night to compete, at least get into the post season and have a nice mix of young players and veterans. Good to have you.

As for posting advice just talk about what you see... all views are welcome.

Okay.

I'll put you down as "old but used to like the Triangle in his youth".

Hahaha... the joys of the Off Topic forum. One cannot be told what the ALBA is. One must experience it for themselves. Ideally in Incognito mode.

Welcome!

Be gentle Martin, this isnt Game of Thrones.
