Yup. KP needs to take some shots, but he really gets a little overwhelmed trying to create them (esp vs a good defender like Gasol). They need to get him more catch and shoot plays as well as lobs to the rim (none of our Gs can do this well)
Then right there, even when we 'call' the lob, for some reason we run it from 3 ft inside the half court line. And last 10 games or so our guys are very half assed in play execution (like DWill stopping there, tho he was well defended)
That one (missed) call doesn't outweigh what an officiating snow job that game was. Wouldn't have been close if that wasn't literally one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen.
for that game at the IZOD Center. He was screaming travel when it happened haha. I didn't notice it live but on replay he definitely did. That was a fun night. I have an awesome picture with Stuart from that night. He could not have been nicer
Has a bad rap around the league it seems, and maybe it's deserved, but damnit if I don't love the guy.
He's responsible for some of my most enjoyable times as sports fan.
I'm a fan of Green the player, but genuinely curious..
why the bad wrap?
what good times? I clearly don't remember specific moments, tho I know he goes back to OKC w/ KD & RW
His 3 years at Georgetown coincided with my senior year and first 2 years out. When he and Hibbert took Georgetown to the final four, it was a really fun time in my life. Still young enough to party harder than anyone really should, and finally had some walking around money as a young professional. The sweet 16 / elite 8 that year were at the meadowlands, so I was able to attend both games.
STEEP weekend, but one of the most memorable of my life.
and am even less aware of JG's, tho I had known he was a GTown guy w/ Hibbert
That's awesome. Having never gone to a big sports school I was always a little jealous of hearing about the schools that did esp being a big football / bball fan. Then again I prolly never woulda graduated
should run some plays for KP where he is actually in a good position to score. What a fucking concept that would be! Maybe a couple of curl plays for a foul line jumper? How hard is this? They are wasting his ability while Seraphin and Afalo are throwing their forced crap up there. Phil must be able to see this, can't he?
but between the whole O faltering, KPs mediocre hands / ability to get position and a good Memphis D it's not easy either
OTOH Seraphin is bigger and much better at positioning, so it's easier for our mediocre passers to get him the ball, and he's big enough to get a shot off (esp vs MG & ZBo) tho never the #1 option and has no peripheral vision as implied b4. Teams leave KOQ open at 18' because he hasn't made it much tho not shy. Teams don't do that to KP and muscle him at every chance, like they should. It's not been easy to get him the ball this yr...
we're shooting 36%, but 12 Orebs and a few more 3s is the only reason we're close. A W would be an absolute steal, but I don't think that's where this is headed in spite of the close score
Then Calderon finally DOES make a sick lob and KP can't finish (finished the awkward layup off the mediocre pass earlier tho)
I hate to say it, but it sure seems that way. There is just too much one on one ball, and not enough ball movement with Carmelo. If he is shooting the ball well, then its fine-but if he's shooting poorly, the Knicks always lose playing that way. Need more ball movement.

What team are you watching? They are pretty close to pathetic without Carmelo.

0-6 w/o Melo coming into today iirc, the O looks AWFUL (as it has for 2-3 games and off for many more), Melo has 6A+ in his last 8 aside from the overall significant improvement in his overall versatility & team game (maybe best of his career)
When one team is allowed to be physical and the other can't, NBA officiating at its finest, Zach Randolph shoved porzingis on defense then shoved him on offense no call but of course let's call tricky tack shit on the knicks...
But Carmelo does tend to be a black hole on offense
Our O just doesn't run much recently. Terrible 1 pass long balls too often, or iso even going with Lopez at times with no movement
as JC hits another 3...10 pts already (after two awful TOs, can't avoid a few head scratchers ea game)
Seraphin. If he doesn't pass in the first second, his head goes down and he's shooting. Doesn't matter what kind of shot it's going up

Agree. I don't hate Seraphin, but he is not a good enough player to be a ball stopper in the offense
KOQ has 5 shots
He's responsible for some of my most enjoyable times as sports fan.

He still traveled against Vanderbilt.

They already have a point guard in the worst way.
I will say, on these rare nights where you see the peak of Calderon's game, he's quite a savvy player.

I don't think I've seen more O & D 3s calls for any team. Only a handful in almost as many non-Knick games Ive seen if not more this yr
What team are you watching? They are pretty close to pathetic without Carmelo.
Aren't they like 0-8 this season without Melo?
Your post is ludicrous.
Maybe a little off? If that's what it seems like i'm not sure you know what you are watching.
Lopez was wide open for a dunk if they kept their head up dribbling up court
You have no idea what you are talking about sorry..
Knicks are over 500 with melo playing
Lot of people shitting their pants on these 2 free throws
He just hit two big shots, are you really mad he took that shot or you mad it didn't go in?
You can't force feed it to someone, afflalo got a great look he just missed it..

Porzingus should have taken he last shot

Porzingis had a better look, was wide open at the top of the key
