A'ight Melo setting screens, rebounding, plus passing the ball
Melo will be rewarded by his teammates throughout this game
Jorts & Jordan

Rookie Isiah Thomas will suprise alot of teams that passed him in the draft.

Much better. A little bit of effort can make a massive difference.

Sac is horrible. Knicks have literally got a break on their first 4 games with the injuries suspension and this jv team. let's see if they can actually win this one.

I have to stress once again that this is not the team to judge our effectiveness without amare. They are bad and still in rebuilding mode.

35 point 1st qtr. without Stat?
35-20

[Lercher]

Good looking out with this...I am here in Germany...damn time difference



P.S. Happy New Year's to all Knickerbocker fans!

Herzlich wilkommen im Forum, mach Spaß.

I'm from the Netherlands and also feel the difference.

Jorts is our new starting power forward

[Kiyaman]

I like the 41 - 20 lead ..... but I hate the 3 point shooting in the first half of a game

Ok, so ball movement is better. See, Knicks? Isn't it much easier to score when you confuse the defense?

All of this is fools gold. This is the only way dantoni's offense looks effective. no team can make 3s at this clip over an entire game consistently. IMO this gives players the false impression that each possession can end in a 3 pt attempt.

Other than that, good ball movement. when amare comes back he needs to keep the offense flowing and not hold the ball so long and then force shots.

@CA7: if STAT keeps playing soft and Jorts plays like this I have no problen with benching Amare.

Chandler gets into foul trouble too easily, but Harrellson, c'mon 11 points and 4 rebounds, no fouls and no turnovers.

Let's assume the offensive aspect is a combination of luck, and bad defence on the side of the opponent. Are you denying there's a serious difference in terms of hustle and defence; Something the team could have demonstrated in the last two games.

+1

It's a novelty game. Doesn't address our issues on the slightest and is basically just putting off the problems we have.

I'm loving Jorts, the guy is comedy, but come on.
