Hornacek respecting Noah's $72M.

But we now have have our "death lineup."

KP
Melo
Lee
Holiday
Rose

We have to keep the game close when Noah's in, and the death lineup can blow the away the rest of the time.

[F N 11]

Knicks will no doubt win this game.

That was just my face for u guaranteeing I learned my lesson

[CJackson]

They'll hide for the night

Just like you and the other KP haters? It's funny you and the other kids keep bringing this up. Grow up already.

...people flip out on a PER POSSESSION basis when it comes to melo. They deserved to be called out when he plays a big part in a win.

He should gets the credit when he deserves it. He was a big part of the turnaround in the second half and this team is not going anywhere as along as Melo is a Knick and he is not playing well. He was hideous in the first half and by that he was the worst player on the floor on the first half so he gets blame and credit where it belongs. Really bad first half, very good second half.

The person who melts down on a play by play basis is Melo as much as the fans though. He can be such a baby when things don't go his way and to this day he lacks the professionalism to just reset on the next play instead of moping when somebody abuses him or he doesn't get a call. In the first half he was moping and it was lame. So it really is up to Melo to pull himself together, not the fans.

3 things need to happen for this team to succeed:

-Lance takes 3 months to heal up
-Noah plays 20 minutes a night
-MOAR SMALL BALL

KP is going to have to front guys like DMC in the post.

Easier said than done. Fronting doesn't fix all of life's problems

There aren't many guys like that in the NBA. It's time we stop letting others dictate what we do. Play the best lineup that maximizes the talent you have.

I'm not for KP at the 5 full time, but we need to make it happen a significant portion of the time. Dubin said in today's podcast that he's averaging less than 6 MPG at C going into tonight's game. Should be at least 20 minutes.

I don't think KP can handles 20mins at C, he will be gassed by 3rd Q

Barnes would actually be a pretty good fit on this squad. Hybrid forward. Okay defender. Decent shooting. That contract though

I meant throughout the game. 10 & 10?

[SelbyCobra]

Two more and I'm out. Great night!

Phil Jackson IMO is a firm believer in size. It will take a small-ball coach to override Phil's choice in roster arrangement. Size does not conquer everything in today's NBA where speed matters alot too

[blueNorange]

kristaps shot off his foot ala dirk?

nasty boy.

[Red Vines]

This is why I like Hornacek, no agenda with individual players, just find guys who work well together and play to their strengths. Definitely some chemistry now.

[Capn'O]

KP giving them the old Minute Bol rejection.

Yes! Using his length instead of hops is a good thing for his longevity.

[F N 11]

So will KP at 5 Melo at 4 really be viable against other teams? Not all of them until KP is stronger, but it seems like it has to be used more often

Good second half by Melo after a first half that turned green bananas rotten

Starting second half on Bogut.

[Capn'O]

Yep. Fultz got killed on D - they all did. This needs to be our future PG:

He's a big boy, isn't he...

6-6 PG, already averaging 8 rebounds a night. Averaged a triple double in highschool too. Modern day Jason Kidd.

We'd have to be real, real bad to get him...

[dakomish23]

So our 4 top players off the bench are now Holiday, Jennings, Hernangomez, and Ndour?

Is Ndour legit?

NDour should not be on the floor when the game is still in the balance. It's as if the dude went to the Kwame Brown school of how to catch a pass. His defense is not as great as advertised. I'd much rather see Baker on the floor.

[Capn'O]

If you don't rock with Melo and KP please be gone.

This string of outlier games has me pretty excited.

Part of the problem is who we have that has size.

It's the fact that it's Joakim that's being played that's a problem.

He just flat out sucks as a basketball player. It's almost like playing 4-on-5 on both offense AND defense.

[Rotten Apple]

Man Melo and KP at the 4/5 is giving me life. Oh the spacing, oh the mismatches.

[Adelheid]

Yep Ndour needs far more training. Certainly not a rotational player

[dakomish23]

Two more and I'm out. Great night!

Get the guy more shots!!!
