That's funny haha. But Woodson was known for switching. Perhaps he learned from mistakes or realizes we don't have the personal to do it
The key difference I see is that he can communicate. Dantoni was really terrible at that. Always mumbling and giggling, deflecting criticism.
I wonder what happens on team USA now with melo and dantoni

Jeremy had a great 4th quarter i see
Melo didn't have a great offensive 4th but he was hustling and playing hard defense

He called the next two games vs the Knicks "very winnable" games. Before they played a few days ago.

I didn't want Woodson to be the HC come next season purely based on his track record but he has been saying (and doing) all the right things thus far and facts are he never had a team this talented in Atlanta. If he proves to be the hard nosed coach that won't tolerate any BS from his players then he may be exactly what the Knicks need to take that step to the next level. I'm beginning to warm up to the idea.
MDA wasn't the problem though!

I honestly did not even notice this while watching this game but is exactly what I'm talking about. Landry had been playing relatively well for us and he did not hesitate to make his point known despite that. Definitely refreshing to see. I also like that he brings in the second unit a lot earlier than what we're accustomed to seeing, he recognizes that our bench is very good and can hang and lets these guys get their PT. A big key to these victories has been balance in scoring instead of expecting 1 or 2 guys to keep us in it.

I just don't think Phil has the energy for what it would take. If it was 7 years ago it wouldn't even be a question. But it's going to be very hard for him to travel and put on the work it requires.

Melo and Stat look like completely different players. Even on the night of a back-to-back, Stat was attacking the rim instead of settling for that 18-ft jumper he hasn't been able to make all year.
Carmelo legitimately distributed the ball when he could and took it to the rim in the crunch. He and Lin looked well together. Not 100% in sync but good enough. Limiting Jeremy's usage is good for him. Limiting his minutes but still letting him run point when he's in but also mixing it up with Melo.
I haven't been able to watch most of the games but Landry seems to be the odd man out again. He has his good nights and bad nights. He blew some gimme shots and got chewed out for it.
Chandler remains the most important player on the team. He defends the rim great, punches out loose balls, fights for boards, keeps a presence in the middle and makes up for guys who mess up on switches by covering there guy but getting back to the rim to defend penetration.

This was a fun watch. You can tell these dudes like each other and have fun with each other. A talented group of guys that like each other and accept each of their roles without ego despite how the media seems to want to spin it. All they needed was a proper coach/leader. On paper they do have a deeper team than the Mavs last year, which is impressive cuz them dudes were so stacked.
And Jeffries last season was hesitant when it came to offense, he did miss layups, but you could see the fear in his movements. His mind was too heavy, it was like the rim killed his parents. You take his intensity and work ethic mixed with his efficiency now with the shots that come to him, makes him invaluable. We were just frustrated after the Melo trade last season because we expected instant results, he was the scapegoat.

Let's make the playoffs before we talk about Woodson staying on full-time. We've looked good, so we have a right to be happy, but we should all know how quickly things can turn. How they respond to a bad loss (which will happen) is going to be a good test of this "new" team.

Major difference I see on defense is that after switching there's a concerted effort to get back to their original men before the offense has time to expose the mismatch. Only 2 or 3 times did we not get back in time all game. Switching can work if played that way. When D'Antoni was running things they would never get back to their man and consistently found themselves in a mismatch. Definitely some trolling going on by Woodson lol

I'm happy we got to shut Granger up...one game at a time.
Things done changed, but I remember...
