7SoM: Webisode 25, Knicks vs AJ Milano

by gian casimiro on Oct 6, 2010 8:00 AM EDT in 7 Seconds or Mess

Since we can't get enough of preseason basketball, the latest installment of 7 Seconds or Mess looks at the "new" Knicks offense which, shockingly, is centered (power forwarded?) around Amar'e Stoudemire.

Again, you can't take much of anything away from a single preseason game, but now we know that this is once again a go-to halfcourt set for D'Antoni. Before the play would usually result in Chris Duhon resetting the offense for a pick and roll with David Lee rather than attacking off the curl. What's great this time around is that it puts Amar'e in a position to do damage, sometimes with a head of steam toward the basket. Look out for it in today's game.

If you're curious about how the old play used to look, I have an example of it in an older video, but then you'd remind yourself of last year's team. If you're game, old and busted, new hotness.

cool, as always!

makes me wonder- i don’t think i ever saw duhon set a good screen. but i saw douglas do it a plenty. and i imagine ray felton can set a good screen. we probably could have won a few more games if duhon always set nasty screens. you gotta compensate for your lack of ability somehow. thats why guys that scrap it out every play always survive in the league for years.

and that's why Duhon will be carrying Jameer Nelson's luggage this year

Nice work

Like you said, not much can be taken from the preseason game. I think those situations where the curl play fails wioll happen less & less as they play together more

how come gian sounds like Seth now?

anywho…I wonder if on that last player where the C was laying off Turiaf, that if that was say….Randolph, maybe he could knock that jumper down all day?

Not sure what Mozgov’s range is, but I know Randolph can be pretty nasty from about 18 ft.

That reminds me,

I was checking out ESPN fantasy basketball the other day and I saw that Anthony is listed as a PF/C.

Awesome look

at one of our offensive staples. gotta wonder what Stoudamire was thinking when he didn’t screen the guy, which allowed them to switch off. First sign of complacency? sure as hell hope not.

Very cool, Gian

The evolving lineups are a huge thing to watch for in the early parts of this season. It’s a shame that Randolph really is too svelte to be setting any effective picks against opposing bigs, otherwise that would be a lethal pick and roll combo. Although it might be anyway.
