Game Thread: Hawks@Knicks 11/10/2014

F**k the triangle Kerr isn't even playing this piece of s**t system with the Warriors and he just lost his first game.

BTW love the posts by Mafra, Htr10 and Kiya. You guys are knowledgable, diehard Knicks fans.

Another loss um um um...this team is baaaaaad

Same old story every game.. They played the triangle the whole game until the last few minutes of the game then then melo started playing iso.We was down only one point when he started doing his own thing completely going away once again from the hot man iman shumpert. The announcers even kept saying it over and over so that goes to show you that EVERYBODY sees it.I just don't know what to say b/c as long as melo is on this team I honestly don't see them getting any better. He maid some bad mistakes during the last part of the game that really hurt our chances of winning.The thing that I can not understand about him is that he can play team ball... He done it all night tonight and had a great game going BUT he screwed it all up when he forgot about his team and went back to iso melo.

I am not blaming Melo for the loss but I want to see him getting better and better every game and I am not seeing that right now.

Will Carmelo blame the triangle for choking and missing a key free throw? Personally, I can't blame him for not passing to Shumpert. He's arguably the worst starting SG in the NBA, and there are probably 5 -10 backups who are better. When the fourth quarter hits the 8 minute mark, Shump the chump morphs into a pumpkin. He must be a 15% shooter come that point in games.... His man scores at will and he frequently turns the ball over. Why would Melo ever trust him?

I cannot wait until Feb when I. I longer have to see that bust of a draft pick embarrassing himself and the uniform posing as an nba player.

Trade Shump and release JR. And please shut Melo up.... No coincidence we lose 5 in a row the moment he starts blabbing about different energy this season. Sure.... That's it dude. Now we have a worst record through 8 games this year. Just typical with Melo and these Knicks. Humiliated opening night.... But win two games and beat Lebron and they start puffing out their chests as if they were a legitimate team. Bam! Reality slap in the face huh?

shut up and grind out wins and stop with the excuses. A bunch of losers the bunch of them. They all getting paid tho.... That's all they cherish.... That and scoring points.... The basketball part and winning is just something that will happen or won't happen. If Melo wanted to win he would have signed in CHI.

Come on man really? you got to go with the hot hand and it was Shump. Thats the problem with melo is that he has played this way for so long that he doesn't even think about passing the ball.thats why he will never win anything!!

I love the Knicks. A fan since late 70s... I used to be Sparrow setting up King in my driveway. But you guys are diehard...

This year and next will destroy Anthony. Next year, when we improve and need to ride Melo....
Too much losing is ingrained in his DNA. I am realizing now, no matter now prolific he is as a scorer, he shrink when you need it most. Turnovers, offense fouls, missed FT... He'll never win as the A or 1A star. Unless we surround him with a PG, C and SG.... Rendering Melo as the 3rd option... His low ball IQ, lack of handle, uncoordinated self has lost too much that he just doesn't know to win.

Yep, I recall Sparrow getting dimes from King & Cartwright.
My best Knicks lineup were Sugar Ray, Ray Williams, Toby Knight, and the 20-10 center Bill Cartwright.


Melo is a super-star (only) to James Dolan
Allan Houston were a super-star (only) to James Dolan

u cant teach an old dog new tricks after 11 years, some isolation habits are hard to quit, when u have the green-light for 40 minute per game.
A coach is suppose to coach to their players strength, Fisher has been coaching to find a lineup that fits well with Melo isolation style.
Melo receive 41 minute in tonight game, which mean Melo was in all of Fishers lineups tonight.
Is Fisher coaching the same as Woodson? Yes Yes Yes.

Fisher hasn't been coaching to Dally strength in rebounding, defending paint, or low-post passing.
Or Stat strength as a slasher, cutter, rebounder, low-post scorer, alley-oop specialist.
Or Acy strength as a defensive rebounder, screener, defender on perimeter or low post, or hops above the rim.
Or THJ strength as a perimeter catch n shoot, or slasher

It hasn't been 10 to 20 games to evaluate yet but 5 games in a row ..
puts the Knicks in the bottom teams in the league alongside of 2-6 Indiana Pacers and 0-7 Philly 76ers.
We do have our 2015 draft pick .. right?

trangle system will never work with this horrible roster...just saying.
