Jorts has to get minutes.
Stat and Melo jumpers should be falling by January.
Landry might be better off the bench. He can spell Melo since he plays better with him off the floor.
Landry defense has improved greatly

Shumpert needs to start getting some more minutes at the 1, he played D-Will VERY good.
TD looks TERRIBLE. Deron was driving on him at will...like he wasn't even there. And he has NO vision out there, right now he by far the worst starting PG in the league. Might be the worst period. He has no floor general ability and thats something you can't teach. He jumps brings the ball up the court, stops his dribble and passes it off to the closest player. We can't continue like that for long, thats not our game.
Its gonna take some games for our frontline to click, they clearly aren't there yet....but when they do mesh, its gonna be a problem for the rest of the league.

not sure what to make of this team at this point.
if D'Antoni plays to his strength's as a coach/system it exploit's the team's weaknesses. Can't shoot from 3 at all -- every spot on the floor, really poor PG play. the top weapon on the team works best in the mid-range and in a perfect world, the post -- something his offense doesn't generally cater to. I think Amare in the PNR is really the only aspect offensively that meshes.
On the other hand, the staff's/system's weaknesses dating back to Phoenix are defense and size across the front-line. That's obviously here now. (by default it's going to be a better rebounding team, too.)
Going to have to evolve and adapt offensively, goal should be to never take 20+ three's in a game. It's not something I've had much of an issue with in the past, but this team just really, really does not have outside shooters.
Definitely Going to be interesting, Baron probably is the key to this whole thing if we're making any noise this year. Has to make things easier for everyone else on offense. I still like Toney but hard to say he's the solution to what's likely going to be this teams problems in the short-term.

Having Baron Davis be the key to your season is never really a good thing

We really need to fix our PG situation but that probably won't happen until the offseason.
Baron really is the key to our success this year. It sounds like he will be ready to go soon but the league would take some action if they felt he faked an injury to get out of Cleveland.
Mo Williams would do work in our system.

Dantoni will be gone. This team is terrible for his "system". The guy can't adapt.
Our season depends on baron. It is what it is. But we need him desperately and I think he will show out. We need his court vision badly

^ I was really questioning if this team can really run the D'Antoni system, it does not seem that way

If he tries to run this team like past teams, he will get fired and deservedly so.
don't have shooters and damn sure don't have guys who can pass the ball. It does have size, length (and potential to be good on defense & boards) and 2 guys that can go get a bucket at any time.
Team is more built to win games 91-88 than 114-111. If he adapts to that, great. If not.. by all means, time to move on.

I think he would, hes a capable shooter and an efficient passer into the post.
If Felton shined....don't see why Mo wouldn't.

Felton shined because last year's NYK team prior to the Melo trade had shooters and was well capable of running the D'Antoni system(outscoring people and playing 0 defense).
This current team is very different from the above mentioned

Speaking of Mo. Im watching the Clipper Lakers game. Clips looks very good.
We dont have anyone to trade for Mo.
I actually think B. davis can play like next week. I do think he over exaggerated his injury tho
Ill give him two weeks

Oh you mean like Felton. Probably, but I never felt Felton shined like that. He wasn't really all-star caliber, just benefiting off stars sorta like Mo in Cle.

Any competent PG can shine on this team we have right now.
Defenders running into picks from Melo, Amar'e and Chandler and then trying to chase them down on the roll to the basket or defend the jump shot?...Should be a PG's dream.
Any competent point guard in the league would look good in this current situation....from Steve Blake to Earl Boykins.
I don't think y'all realize how terrible Toney has been at the 1. He's not even really playing Point Guard, he's just bringing the ball up court and passing it off. Players are cutting and calling and he doesn't even have the confidence to deliver the pass.
He is not a 1 and will never be as long as he's starting at that position we are wasting millions of dollars by not getting the most out of our stars.

I can't see us getting k-mart. Dude wants a starting role and to get paid not win a title. There's really no other reason for him to have gone to play in China besides financial incentives. Even if he comes here for the 1 year 2.5 mil he won't get enough mins to shine and get another decent contract next year. I'd love him to add toughness, defense, depth, and goonery but I don't see him coming here. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Felton was good cause he got to run....
He is a fast playing PG, and that system fit him perfectly.
If you had tried to make a Felton deal right now I would favor you over my Bulls, that is how good a fit he was for the Pringles system.

I actually like it. Probably the first Dantoni decision i can support. He's by far the best passer on the team.Originally Posted by MrONegative
This whole Melo as point forward ...Guess I'll just get used to the turnovers.
yea Kenyon...
+ Melo knows him, NYC for a few months, contender, #1 guy off the bench, starts when Amare's resting
- LA got 9 mil waiting for him, he'll be the biggest name available right now

This man wonders why he was overlooked.
Spoiler [+]
When he's out, the Knicks have Toney Douglas running the point, which is less than ideal. While I like him as a player, he's a bad fit at the point in this system because he's blind as a bat.
Otherwise, the roster is a bit of a mess. Landry Fields and Iman Shumpert are nice prospects but aren't ready to be top-seven players on a contending team. Jared Jeffries and Renaldo Balkman are the top two frontcourt reserves. Really. And at some point the Knicks will have to play Mike Bibby in a real game.
Spot-on.
