I only saw the second half but:

- Melo used up all his makes during pre-season

- Kristaps is a pick and pop guy through and through. I get he's gonna have to learn to post up eventually but for now I think he should do what he's does best: shoot. The rest will come with time.

- Calderon shouldn't be playing. We need a PG fast.

- Lance really shouldn't be playing. Let Early get a shot. If he's gonna learn now's the time.

- I think Kyle might need to start. Either way him and Robin are interchangeable at anytime.

It was an ugly game BUT it's only game 2. We'll get there eventually.

Difference of the game was 3 point shots made, aint eeeem worried about last night. We fought back and didnt lay down and die.

Agreed. Loss wasn't even that bad. But our perimeter defense has to get better.

blow up the team

 

[Mister Meaner]

A couple slow starts thanks to Melo being off and a backcourt that should be coming off bench.

Grant/Galloway should be starting, imo. Galloway at least until Afflalo gets back.

 

[ny mavurs]

I'm not liking our backcourt at all

Good for making a few 3s but that defensive duo is incredibly suspect :x

 

[nydunkhead]

Calderon still sucks this year, Schroder and Teague ran circles around him last night.

What happened to Afflalo? What is his injury and when will he be back?

TNT trolled us hard having Reggie call last nights game and not Marv....

 

[JJ Goon]

Just wish we had a bit of an easier start, could easily be 1-5 by the time we play the Lakers.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Teague and Schroeder ran circles around everyone tbh

 

[ballinsam23]

This rubio trade needs to happen already.

 

[d3si]

I'd love to have Rubio on our squad.

Sadly, his trade value has gone double higher than before. He can shoot now. His passing ability and defense are always great.

yep. totally agree with this. the team played ok. just lost control in the late second and third for a bit. expect more from carmelo though. he slows the pace

i think we get a win against washington and milwaukee. 2-4 at worst. 3-4 likely.

I just need a vacation is all

anyone want an orange shirt (size XL) from last night's game?

pm me with your address & i'll ship it out Monday

I really thought Calderon would have a somewhat bounce back year. But he is just awful. Never thought I would say this but I'd rather have Felton back. Calderon needs to just be buried at the end of the bench and never be seen on the court in a Knicks uniform again.

 

[7thave btn 31stn33rd st]

Calderon is 34, what were ya'll expecting defense wise? Nate is a free agent, shoudle bring him in.

 

[nick.]

we have the 2nd pick in the D-League draft tomorrow, projected to take Jimmer 

 

 

[7thave btn 31stn33rd st]

Hope we take Jesse Childs...Chris Childs' son.
