Russ and Adams never run the PNR anymore.

Too bad the Knicks defend like its an all star game, I cant tell if Billys new rotations are good, or if the knicks just make everything look good.

I know George has been hot but he’s taken some really difficult shots.

Russ looks like an old man trying to get to the basket.

Russ has the ball and does several pump fakes before driving to the basket. On his way to the basket he looks like he loses his balance and has to kick the ball out. It wasn’t a turnover or anything but that kind of thing is becoming way too common. He drives to the basket and loses the ball and has chase it down and reset the offense.

That's been his signature move for years though.

I know and he can’t do it consistently anymore. That’s the point of my post. At times he looks like he is forty years old.

No I mean his dribble control has always been suspect. He'll barrel down the lane and either fall or the ball will mysteriously launch out if his hands into the back row while he screams deflection. I'm not sure if it's any worse now? Only thing I see is that he doesn't seem to be that willing to drive hard at the hoop.

It bothers me that Russ & PG often don't notice Tferg open in the corner when dribbling in to 2-3 guys. I'd like to see what he can do with 5-6 3's a game.
