We know they play better with Melo, but the minutes aren't there for him to do that, and for some reason they don't trust Patterson enough to pull him early. But Felton works well with Melo for sure and having PG13 in there with them, adds to the security. But everyone on the team is better with Westbrook. Seems like the best way to increase their productivity, essentially unleashing Westbrook

I wish. Westbrook is one of very few players that can elevate any lineup to a decent o-rating, so of course Billy won't let him. On the other hand, I'm willing to bet that George is with the bench because he's the most natural moving without the ball and not going is so Billy trusts he won't revert to those habits when the starters are in.


Westbrook is already playing with the bench to end both the 1st and 3rd quarter.

Not all bench + Russ that we see with PG.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

You should of been on the Knicks board during the summer. I had been hoping for a Melo to OKC deal and I was hoping Ferguson was in the package we got back. Back then it was

Melo Lee KOQ

For

Abrines Singler Kanter MCD Ferg Huestis Chi 2nd

Some folks were hating saying big deal he can dunk and chucks 3’s.

Turns out being super athletic and able to shoot are good things in the NBA :lol:
