It's amazing to think we were better last year with so much less talent no less.

It's going to be status quo until trade deadline.

I would take this approach, at the very least you have to try something different. Even if you support the tank the game is much more fun to watch when you shake up the lineup.

I just can't understand this franchise's hardheadedness with playing Melo at the 3... it's mind boggling. Anyone with 2 eyes can see that he's much more effective when you put him at the 4 paired with a good defensive center. He's much more engaged on both ends of the floor. Noah can still get his 25 off the bench and I think he fits better with that group anyway.. The whole thing is just infuriating. Holiday is playing his ass off too but, I guarantee you if LT is back he'll be right back in that starting line-up with a fuqqin mask on... just really infuriating to see a team do everything in it's own power to make itself bad.

Melo at the 4 would be a must for me if I am the coach, I like Kuz at the 3 he has hustle and heart.

If you think Phil is, then the coach must follow it up... its about his job security!!

Yes, I love Kuz too and him and Melo have great chemistry because Kuz actually knows how to play off of a scorer... Amazing what actually cutting at the right times does to our offense. I could care less about the defense of his... we're never going to be good defensively unless we shuffle a few pieces around. Might as well try to outscore everyone like we were earlier in the year.

Would you trade Noah for Turner (or Crabbe)?!

LOL was just looking at February and Knicks will have 7 out of 10 games on National television in that month.

2 ABC vs Spurs and vs Cavs.
3 TNT games vs Lakers, Cavs and Toronto
2 ESPN games vs Thunder and Clippers.

Good lord have mercy.

Because so many many people love to see us lose by 1 point or a last shot!!!! :nod:

KP goes off tonight. Just have a feeling that he has one of those 29+ point games.

It's Melo's fault the team is staying in games when they should be getting blown out so we don't have to get stressed till the last second.

No disagreement here. He missed the last 3 shots he's taken during this stretch to take the lead with under a minute left. Now 4-8 on the season.

These losses have been brutal
