They need to keep him out until he is 100%

I was thinking the same thing. He hasn't looked well. They are not playing for anything right now. No reason to risk him getting an injury that takes a 18-24 months to recover from.

NYK 13 CHI 10

Gaines is at the game with Phil.

NYK 19 CHI 12

KOQ should be starting.

Rondo is trash.

Melo shooting UFO's following KP's lead last game.

what does that mean?

Knicks Triangle execution is much sharper. I see better Cuts and Dribble Hand Offs so far. Better Spacing and quicker decisions. I have to wonder why so much better tonight when all the other recent games they've looked lethargic and didn't run the offense with any energy? If Phil is gonna demand Triangle they have to run it like they've been doing so far tonight.

He's scouting Paul Zipser.

Don't forget the D has looked much better the last 4 quarters, including this one.

Unfortunately the Transition D wasn't good on that last play last night

Yeah KOQ is clearly better but i'd also like to see some Plumlee.

I hope not. This is kind of surprising to me that they're actually making the right passes and the timing on the cuts is better. In recent games the cuts came too early and they weren't sharp enough. The timing has been dreadful but if they can fix that it could really boost their chances to win games.

22 points allowed in 1st quarter. That's 4 quarters in a row we have allowed less than 25. Let's keep it up!

I want to be happy about that but part of the reason they've looked better is that they aren't facing the kind of aggressive PG's that usually KILL them with PnR Penetration. We'll see if this is real progress when they play at team that has quick guards that drive a lot.
