Didn't watch last night, thank god.


But KP with only 13 mins played? WTF?

 

[lver of jordan]

Bet yall KP is getting benched for Lance

Lance is always the 1st sub in every game

 

[sharpshooter718]

Watched return of the Jedi instead... After that 10 pt1st qtr. it was a wrap

 

[gridebounca11]

I think we've lost every game sasha has played

I think we've lost every game sasha has played

If i'm playin a team that has a dude that looks like sasha in their starting lineup, I'm going in there pretty confident.

KOQ over Lopez in the starting lineup, i'll forgive Fisher for everything.
Lance over KP in the starting lineup, i'm done.

 

[nick.]

Sasha was a +20 last night, highest on the team by a wide margin

 

[true 3 blue]

Nah man, I strongly disagree with benching Lopez for O'Quinn. Especially after giving Lopez that money this offseason. He plays well, and Fisher has a ridiculous habit of burying him outside of the 1st half. We go long stretches with Serraphin (who plays well AT TIMES) who will take silly shots, and make even sillier decisions. Play the man, he's not here to be decorated on the bench.

Nah man, I strongly disagree with benching Lopez for O'Quinn.

Trust me I agree. I like Lopez and think he needs more time, but I strongly think he would play better with the 2nd unit.

Sources: Carmelo frustrated with Knicks' slow pace

Carmelo Anthony told teammates the Knicks needed to play faster in an effort to get easier baskets in transition, according to sources.

“Losing is frustrating,” Anthony said after the Knicks’ loss to the Mavericks on Monday. “I don’t want this to be an ongoing situation or an ongoing feeling where we have to come into the locker room and explain why we’re losing basketball games.”

Anthony hasn’t offered many specifics, publicly, for why he thinks the Knicks (10-13) have struggled lately. But, privately, sources say Anthony has expressed frustration to teammates with the Knicks’ slow pace of play.

After a recent home loss, Anthony told teammates that the Knicks needed to play faster in an effort to get easier baskets in transition, sources say.

“He felt like they were stuck in the half court too much,” one source said Thursday.

In the preseason and early in the regular season, the Knicks were playing at one of the NBA’s fastest paces. But they’ve since slowed down considerably. They enter Thursday’s game against the Sacramento Kings ranked 23rd in pace.

Coach Derek Fisher emphasized in the preseason that he wanted the Knicks to play faster after they finished last season playing at the third-slowest pace in the NBA.

So it would appear that Fisher and Anthony are looking for the same change in play for New York, which has dropped seven of nine.

Fisher said last month that he’d like the Knicks to play faster and look for opportunities in transition. But he pointed to a lack of practice time as one reason New York had been unable to do so.

The Knicks may also be able to increase their pace if they created more turnovers and limited opponents' offensive rebounds. They enter play Thursday forcing just 12.5 turnovers per game -- the second fewest in the NBA. They also are allowing 11.5 offensive rebounds per game -- tied for the fifth-highest total entering Thursday’s games -- and rank 24th in defensive rebounding rate.

the way to do this would be to keep the ball out of his hands

does this man have no self-awareness to realize he's a huge part of that problem? what transition is he talking about? the one where he brings them to a near halt when he takes possession of the ball? the one he usually kills when he stops at the three line despite having open teammates? players like calderon, sasha, grant, afflalo, williams & galloway enable a quick game, while carmelo forces them to adjust to his slower, more individual pace

I'm not a big fan of fictional bearded men portrayed in fairytales, so I'm good bro, even if it is NT tradition

Im growing tired of Carmelo

We have been through multiple GM's, Coaches, Offenses, and Rosters with this dude. And it always comes to this with Melo.

Im am also running out of patience as a fan.
