I have no idea what this means. Perhaps Jeff saw what he needed over the last couple of games and wants to give the vets another shot before making a final decision on his lineups. Maybe he's just trying to show respect to the vets! I don't know 😳

Ridiculous

I just don't get why we are abandoning Melo at the 4 after it looked good.

And Lee off the bench was giving our bench a boost.

Noah needs to be on T.Chandler and i'm sure KP and whichever other center plays well when he gets his chance will get plenty of time at center. It's not like Noah is gonna be playing 38 minutes.

This coaching staff is a mess.

Can't believe they started Noah again.

The defense has been pathetic to start.

I haven't... but it was slightly less bad with Noah out. They gave up about 104ppg (5-1 record) with Noah out and 109ppg (14-24 record) when Noah plays.

Their offense scores 110ppg when he's out and only 104ppg when he plays.

That's an 11pt swing overall if you count defense and offense!! That's insane.

He's just not a fit with the way this team needs to play. I was hoping he would be, but he's not.

If you think that the points per game with and without Noah is only on just him then that's just ridiculous. There's a lot of things that can go into that 6 point per game difference. Noah can fit just fine depending on who's playing center for the other team when he's in. He's averaging almost 12 boards a game which is pretty damn good.

The whole which player fits thing is over rated and as long as the coach is playing the players when they're needed in the game depending on who's in the game for the other team then you can make everyone fit.

9 boards and 3 assists in the 1st for Noah....not bad for not fitting.

yellowboy90 @ 1/21/2017 8:12 PM
Why do knicks get called for fouls when they dive for loose balls but they let other teams play through?

It's Noah's impact on the whole team on both sides of the ball.

Also Noah is averaging 9reb per game.
