Bully Melo the first 1:30



I love when Melo goes mean goon on frail SFs.

I low key wish Melo happen to rock the Dark Knight mask that Irving & Lebron had at times.

With all of the equipment, dude would legit be Darth Melo

To sit here and malign the city's fans as thinking KP is the next wilt...smh.

That's a crappy and make believe starting point to springboard your shyty point. Like seriously....

KP is considered a star in the making already. All Im saying is pump the breaks a bit. The Jordan/Wilt line was clearly tongue in cheek. But if you want to take it at face value go for it.

Say a star in the making. Nothing wrong with that. But you had to dress the fans up as wrong somehow to make your point seem right.

I don't get folks like that

On Defense, it's less about one on one defensive weaknesses. This is entirely lack of team cohesion. If the Knicks defense was a person, he'd have a partially blind designation on their licencebecause of NO peripheral vision.

The wing is literally a black screen, just let your guard or small forward stand there...WE WILL FORGET YOU.

I need proof that Rambis and Hornacek are showing this ad nauseaum during film sessions.

From now on, Knicks defense is called the RamHorn Defense. shyt is matador, and the bull keeps stabbing us...


Melo with the catch and shoot. I loved it during the Olympics and I love it now. The problem is, when D. Rose has the ball, Melo isn't moving.

I need Melo to mimic Justin Holiday and use a Noah or O'Quinn screen atleast 2 times per possession when we don't have a high post play call for him. He'd eat or atleast dismantle the defense completely. Think about it, what defense is actually ready for a mobile Melo to attempt to work around screens? That would be Porzingis alley oops all day because of the confusion.




We need Rose. Or, as I said when Rose was acquired, we need Rose to be the brochure for future star PGs to see how successful they could be playing w/ Porzingis and a catch and shoot Melo.

I'd love a Jennings/Rose backcourt that does a back-to-back penetration ending in a contact layup for the foul or a kick out to Melo or Porzingis with O'quinn ready for the Offensive board.

I could see Breen now:

"Jennings brings it up the court, a pick by Porzingis and Jennigs drives for the lay...NO, he passes it out to Rose who just drives into the lane and puts up...WAIT NO, Rose kics it out to Porzingis for the straight away 3...HE GOT IT! Oh boy, that Jennings/Rose lineup is just DEADLY Clyde! Clyde, you ever had the chance to play with another point guard like that with you on the floor?!"

He does that all the time

 

[I.V.]

Meaning the city has crowned him as combo of chamberlain and Jordan but he's actually kind of having a pretty meh year. I was expecting him to make a jump and I'm not seeing it at all.

Not to gang up, but I'm calling bullshyt here, too.

We drafted him as a latvian teenager, and in his second year, he's shooting almost 40% from three, Giving you 20/8/2 - raising his FG% and his 3pt% -- and it's not all minutes-increase. His numbers are up per 36 and per 100 possessions. He shot 56% around the rim last year, now he's shooting 72% around the rim.

That's a significant one year improvement almost across the board, with essentially ONE offseason of lifting and conditioning.

It is impossible to tell who is going to be a superstar/hall of famer/legend versus a really good player. But he's not having a "meh" season, at all. He was a boon last season, and he's improved this year.

Dude was not supposed to be ready-made for the NBA, and he's already having an All Star caliber season in his second year.

Joakim's best game.

This was great to see.

I didn't know Plumlee and Ndour were in the D-League Chasson has to be getting called up right? Right?!

I think they've been bumping them up and down frequently, trying to get them game experience.

I wonder if Rose legal case was messing with his game psyche, or was it a change in scenery. Dude is playing his best basketball in years, regardless of what the stats show.

Honestly, it's health. Recovering from knee surgeries is generally a two year process. This is his second full season back -- he's getting more comfortable with his body mechanics, getting used to what he can and can't do. It takes time, and he's had it. So yeah, he's playing the best ball he's played since the big injuries.

Lotta good points in here:

• The defense is brutal, and it's a combo of individual talent AND cohesion.
• Melo catch and shoot is beautiful, and it always has made me wish he cared more about moving off the ball. You combine movement, and his post game, and the catch and shoot. It'd be killer. Run bigger guys, post smaller guys
• I agree with rose as the brochure for the next PG -- "See what Rose did? Well... "
• I think it would be fun to mix in more Jennings/Rose as an energy boost - but that's a BAD defensive lineup, so you gotta pick your spots.

one thing i really dont like about kp...is when he's matched up against stretch 4s...its like he doesnt know how to defend a pick and pop...he assumes the role of rim defender at all times and a few times last game it couldve got us killed
they ran the pick and pop between teague and thaddeus young...back to back to regain some momentum after we took the lead....and thad was WIDE open both times. now picture if a team does that with a deadly 3 pt shooter...the likes of kevin love and and ryan anderson at the 4. (actually teams did...and we lost to the rockets and cavs)
kp gets lost on picks and leaves his assignment almost always...if he closes out...most these stretch 4s dont have the ability to create their own shot....and this is the way the game is moving....kp zones in far too much on the ball handler in a pnr situation...he needs to study his matchups.
he needs to trust the point guard to stay in front of his man and rely on noah to clean up sometimes.
