Phil has done well in his moves. The Noah contract and not getting crowder when he could have are probably his biggest blemishes

Actually usually he doesn't. It's like 50-50 when it needs to be more automatic
Like that time...he had Galloway on him and instead of raising up and shooting he just passed the ball. ISO is the good play on a mismatch like that
Truthfully a lot of times he also has mismatches and they don't go to him which is infuriating too
It starts with him though. If he showed he was automatic with a smaller guy on him, they'd do more ISO KP than ISO Melo
This isn't KP vs Melo. Its about the Knicks winning. when we move the ball we have more success no matter wo ends up with more points

If KP had more success those Isolation could create movement of they start sending a double

Um wrong. Against a traditional lineup maybe. Right now the Knicks have 0 fastbreak points or close to it. In the last 2 games, Pelicans have 60 plus fastbreak points to 2. They love the up and down. You take that away because you are rarely going to get a wide open shots with no one in your face as fast as they're recovering.

Cartman718 @ 12/30/2016 9:00 PM
Now the Knicks are balling. And it wasn't because of great ball movement.

dude why do you always have to take shots at me? We are both Knick fans we both want them to win right?
nixluva @ 12/30/2016 9:03 PM
Knicks still too slow in getting the ball to KP!!! If they were quicker in getting him the ball he could score so much easier!!! But the ball is often too late.

I'm stating that I disagree with you that this particular game is hinged on great ball movement. Not sure why you think that is a shot at you. On the other hand, your statement...

" damn I wish I knew as much as you do "

That sounds like a clear shot. Pot..kettle.

Well I didn't start it. The other day you got all bent out of shape because I used the word BUT. You just assumed I was taking a shot at melo which I wasn't. In fact I complimented the hell out of him. I said he has always been very chartiable and always kept his nose clean. So yeah I regret saying that remark to you but at the same time you kind of went after me first
nyknickzingis @ 12/30/2016 9:09 PM
That behind the back dribble by Porzingis was sick. Just incredible. What a marvel. This guy needs 1-2 hours a day in the summer with focus on post game and catching the ball against smaller guys with his back to the basket and we'll see him get 25 points a night without trouble. He already gets us 20 a night without a good post game.

We're good on offense as a team, but our defense. Man just stinks. I don't see us doing better than where we are right now. Around .500

It's been plenty of games now. We are kinda who we are at this point. A good team on offense with some exciting scorers and talent, and a bad team defensively. We'll hover around .500 all season. Been doing this all year so far, won't change much going forward. These players have their habits and many of them are older so they won't change those habits.

Us making the playoffs depends on how good or bad the other teams in the East are. Right now I'd guess 41 wins will get you in, but who knows.

KP and Melo are 2 and 3 rebounds away from a double double

I didn't go after you at all. I went after your opinion. As for the other thread, I think enough has already been said in that same thread. No need to rehash here.
