KP getting much better looks now. Why oh why don't they do this earlier in the game?
One thing that I've never got about Melo - he uses his bullets early in the game. You watch a guy like Chris Paul or Lebron and they use the first three quarters to set up their teammates and then they score a lot in the 4th quarter if needed.
Anyway.

Because those guys play to win, Melo plays to "get his"

I think he wants to win, I just don't think he gets it.
edit: We also have seen how much better he plays with a smart PG like Billups or Kidd.

Don't worry this is all gonna change soon. Phil knows he has to make the move to this being about KP and the future.

This will literally be the third tear down rebuild in like 3.5 years under Phil. I wonder if Dolan is starting to lose patience. He was at the game tonight, don't know if he stayed for those "METTA METTA METTA" chants... but if he did, there's a good bet he didn't like them.

This is the kind of game that gets a coach or gm fired.

Wanting to win and not getting it are not compatible. He has had an entire career worth of coaches telling him what to do. He definitely knows what he needs to change, he is too fukking selfish to even bother trying.

I mean, I don't want to harp on this - but Hornacek does not seem like a very good coach. He's in a horrible position, put there by Phil, but man this looks like a complete mess. The team is in shambles and has no plan on offense or defense.

To be honest it's the right time to rebuild. We have all our picks, cap space and some young players to move forward with. IT'S TIME!!!
There's no way I see things staying the same after this game. I'd be shocked if Horny comes back with the same starting 5 next game. And the delusion that we're somehow a playoff team just because we happen to be in a terrible conference should be finally put to bed. This is not a playoff team even if it gets in the playoffs. There should be no other option at this point than to have a fire sale and tank.
Even though we lost, the 2nd half was good for KP's confidence. And Willy had another solid outing, and will learn from his defensive lapses. The 2 young guys display their upside in stretches. Eventually they will put it together.

I don't really buy that. I just think that people expect him to be able to be a master playmaker like Lebron and it's really not in his skillset. Because of their draft history, he'll always be compared to Lebron, but that's not him. Melo should've always been the leading scorer on a team where ANOTHER guy had the ball in his hands the whole time. Like if he'd played his whole career with Billups or Kidd or CP3. That's what Melo needed. He only got it a few years of his career.
Whatever - they've hit the point of no return now. Melo needs to go. It's the best for all parties.

It's the players!!! More than anything it's PLAYERS FIRST and then the coach. It's not like there's some secret defense that none of the Knicks coaches know about. At a certain point you have to fill your team with 2 way players that play TEAM BALL if you want to win.

truthfully we never had a true rebuild probably because of Dolan
