What did we learn last night?
. KP shouldn't rush back from illness or injury
. AA looks like a really solid candidate to be a 6th man off the bench
. Grant looks like he's figuring some things out
. Rambis has no business coaching this team next year, everyone knows it, Phil's comments were trying to keep Rambis' authority respected for the time being but it's obvious the team doesn't buy in to him
. Seraphin even when he plays well isn't a guy I want to see playing
. Calderon's defense is epic levels of bad. Amare pick and roll defense bad. Maybe Rambis should play dude 40 minutes a night to try and force him to retire?
. The Knicks transition defense is something no coach has worked on in like 5 years.
What I'm thinking...
. With such a limited set of options at PG, I think getting a quality SG might be a better way to go. We'll get more bang for our buck and if AA opts in he'll strengthen our bench. Just go with a cheap stop gap PG and swing hard either via trade options or next FA
. Galloway could age into a pretty good starter but he's got a few offseasons worth of work to get there
. Grant needs big minutes these last 13 games and I don't trust Rambis to do that
. Why D-Will only played 14 minutes is beyond me.
. Still want Thibs as the coach next year (then Augustin could be the stop gap, that combo is proven to work)
. I also still like Noah for the right price as a locker room presence and leader, this unit could use it.
