KRISTAPS PORZINGIS REPORTEDLY TAKING EXTENDED TRIP, TEAM 'FUMING' OVER TRIANGLE

[O.T.I.S.]

Pau was a full post player, and Melo doesn't post up like Kobe did.

Sure they have some post playing in their games but they have never been like those guys. + the league is different now, guys are shooting 3s..even Pau shoots 3s and he hated it at that time.

You can't be telling coaches what to do when you are not a coach, it's like Lavar Ball telling Chino Hills coach what to do. Either Phil needs to coach or be a gm. And SA has post players, Pau..LMA works in the post mostly. Kristaps like to face the basket. Even with that Spurs are not running the full triangle, there are all teams in the NBA that have some triangle plays but not the full thing.

Pau was not just a full post player. He stretched the floor and hit the 3 when he needed too

shyt he's doing in SA is not new to Lakers fans.

My thing is why can't Porzingis develop into a post player if he will be more effictive with his big ass in the post. Even Dirk realized he needs to get his ass in the post to win a ring.

And Melo is bigger than Kobe WTF is this lazy ass nikkas excuse to NOT wanna post up? And he's actually one of the better post players at his position so thats a copout.

Kobe shot 3's, Kawhi shoots 3's, aint nobody stopping these nikkas from shooting 3's in a halfcourt set or run a fastbreak. But again, These nikkas are NOT Golden State... Don't have the personnel and IQ to be GS.

And you can face the basket in the post with the triangle btw..

nikkas are running more but that didn't get Knicks in the playoffs either

Did they really TRY to run that system though?

They were losers before the system btw, weren't they?

Bulls used to run it too after Phil i believe.. Or at least a variation of it.

Pau came to LA and ran it with no issues... And it helped him get to 3 straight finals

Are the knicks players just stupid? Just saying..

nikkas talking about the fast paced league, which is true, but SA been winning with the same slow paced game with random transition plays for like 20 years.

Even GS has a solid halfcourt system while running the break at times

Teams won championships with the triangle when they had competent front offices stacking the team with talent. The Knicks don't have that.

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

Run an offensive system designed to produce long 2s and post-ups in a league that no longer prioritizes either shot, brehs.

 

[23Barrettcity]

But theyre trying to use it now, right?

Didn't Fisher use it as well?

Idgaf about Phil honestly, but if youre saying the system is trash, and the players are saying it's trash, I'm wondering how in tf did they come to that conclusion when all them nikkas got zero rings.

They been trying to. Use the triangle. The players don't got the system either and the coach doesn't know how to use it

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Those teams had the players to fit the system . You forgetting mr glass also played center for the lakers? And Shaq in his prime . Also why didn't he hire a coach who knows the triangle

Maybe because they were going to spend the summer learning the triangle with that coach?

And how many coaches out there run the triangle anyway?

And yeah, Bynum played center.. He was also like 17 and learned the triangle. He wasn't even 3rd scorer on the team.

And ofcourse I knew Shaq played in his prime.. Wtf does that got to do with the system? Shaq and Kobe were in they primes and both hadn't won shyt without the triangle (aside from the season Wade carried Shaq in miami)

 

[Monsanto]

Melo aint a good post player though? Porzingis can't play the post?

Lakers really only had Kobe and Pau in the box... With maybe Lamar sometimes or MWP.

Like I said, SA running the same halfcourt shyt that the Triangle preaches... Yet theyre still successful so the game aint changed that much. I know they not the Chicago bulls or Lakers but them nikkas aint GS either.

Porzingis gets bodied by some of the stronger PGs (Marcus Smart, George Hill, etc). And is more of a perimeter player.

Once Melo gets the ball in that post pinch no one moves. No one.

That's essentially the difference between teams like the Spurs, Hawks and Warriors who utilise the triangle. People are moving off the ball. Knicks wait for Melo to bail them out.

They don't even use their best weapon, the pick and roll. Nope just mindless passing. I hate this team.

Soon :scheming:

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Well isn't that the reason theyre focusing on it over the summer?

Like I said, I'm just wondering why nikkas are so against a system that helped win 11 championships... Especially with people who never won shyt even without it


And again... SA running the same/similar halfcourt system and theyre 2nd in the toughest division without only running and gunning

During Phil era?? No he didn't. He was a mid range guy.

That is not true at all, lmao. If you are a Laker fan you know dude complained and cried every day especially during the Mike D'Antoni era.

Also this is not about the triangle fully, this is about a guy who is not the coach telling them what to do. What kind of stupid shyt is that. You need to let the coach do what he wants to do.

The Knicks have been learning the triangle for 3 seasons now I think. Every season the coach does two things: implements their new style of the triangle and neglects defense. Switching is the best defense is how they operate.

That sounds like the players fault imo,

I hate watching them play as well. Its confusing

Mike D'antoni was a fukking idiot who wanted to do nothing but Run n Gun with big ass nikkas that can't just run n gun.

Pau could hit the 3 duding the phil era when he needed to... Just like he is doing now.

If you are actually surprised that Pau can shoot the 3 then I don't know what to tell you


And I thought this was partially about players being upset over the triangle. I don't blame porzingis for skipping the mettings over the fukk shyt thats been happening nor am I really defending Phil.

I'm just keeping it simple

I really think what they practice is what shows on the court. It's hard to deviate from your patterned behaviours when it's all you practice. Not to mention your coach and president mouth off about insubordination, not following the gameplan and you don't change your game again.

I didn't say he couldn't hit a 3, I said he didn't want to. He was mostly in the post because he enjoyed that. Pau was the perfect guy from triangle..a big who can post and pass. Kristaps doesn't want to be in the post all the time like Pau did. Pau also didn't dribble from the perimeter doing this..Kristaps wants to do this not hangout in the post



And it is players being upset over triangle, why would they want to run a system when the guy is not there coaching? They want to run what their coach wants to

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Run an offensive system designed to produce long 2s and post-ups in a league that no longer prioritizes either shot, brehs.

With a roster that does those poorly no less
