It's frustrating when he's got a clear lane to the basket but he stands there looking to make a pass.
mp3 wrote:Your right about the cuts tho, the whole team looks confused and not knowing where they need to be resulting in forced shots at the end of the shotclock.

The level of competition is higher in the NBA, and his teammates are much better in international competition. He's never really been on a team that was built for great success, and the best teams he's been on have not only had some kind of deficiency, they've also coincided with another team being at the height of its powers. If not for the Kobe-Gasol Lakers in 2009, he might have a ring by now.

JM: There have been reports you are frustrated that (Knicks coach) Jeff Hornacek isn't employing the triangle offense enough. Is that the case?
PJ: No. But when they run it I want them to run it the right way. If you are going to do it, use your skills and run it the right way. I'm not frustrated at all. Derrick Rose missed three weeks of training camp (because of a civil trial). It's totally understandable where we are as a ballclub. We have guards that do a lot of stuff off the dribble. I want them to understand they can do things off the pass. It has to be a combination.

Andrew wrote:It's taking a negative view of some his remarks, for sure. I can see where he's coming from on some of them, and I do think frustration with Jackson (and the Knicks in general) is a factor here.

Thank you...quite frankly, we're tired of Phil trying to prove to everyone how smart he is. We've had 15 years of nonsense with this franchise us real fans want results. Aside from Porzingis, Jackson has been unimpressive as president. He calls Conley's contract insane.....how about Noah's? or the no-trade clause he gave Anthony?

He tends to do that and yes it's very annoying...but can you put the 15 years of nonsense on him though? From an outsiders point of view shouldn't you be on his side since he's the one trying to un-fuck the decade-plus of congregated rubbish left over by Isiah Thomas and James Dolan, especially since the latter is still there.....I mean you'd rather have Phil acting like a smartass but actually doing stuff (don't just sweep aside Porzingis now, almost the entire fanbase was shitting on him about it until it turns out he was right and KP's a beast) over Dolan's antics (Recording your employees, for instance).
Noah's contract's hardly the worst deal this off-season, not even close to Conley's. Enes Kanter is being paid that much to sit on the bench, as is Allen Crabbe; and let's face it, it's hard not to give Melo whatever he wanted if you didn't want to lose him, a no trade clause is hardly the worst thing that could've happened (Look at Cleveland, they gave almost $140m to Tristan Thompson and JR Smith just to please Lebron)

We want what San Antonio Spurs and New England Patriots fans have.....a well run franchise with a smart owner who hires the right people and stays out of the way. No drama.
