Tass Mellis

He's taller, but he's a skinny guy.

He's been really important for the Knicks.

When he plays well, it feels like it gives him a little bit of extra juice shooting out there.

But to be able to get away playing those three guards against a Rockets team that's gigantic, that doesn't make any sense to me.

Ime Udoka afterwards was like, it's been the same thing the entire time I've been here.

We just dribble out, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, and the offense slows down.

You're the coach, man.

Call a play.

But that's, I mean, that's Ime Udoka offense.

Like, that's what it was when he was with the Celtics as well.

And it was the same complaint.

Oh, we just dribble it out.

Literally do something then.

All he does is call defense.

Yeah, and then call out his teammates.

Or his players, I should say.

Yeah, and that's maybe why it works for, like, a short window.

A guy like that to come in and sort of whip everybody into shape here and, like, play a little harder and play with a little more aggressiveness.

And then...

maybe that tires on teams and it was a blessing in disguise that he had to leave the Celtics because of weird situations.
