Knicks · The Good Things and the Bad Things, What I Will Look Forward to: (page 3)

Well here's some things I'm looking forward to:

1)High Post Chandler.
The big man can pass pretty good and can even put the ball on the deck a little bit. He post alittle bit too.

2)No Bdiddy/Lin backcourt.
Never liked the Bdiddy/Lin combo either and hopefully that is dead as well. I think the team is weak with inside when we have both point guards on the floor together................who ever thought that was a great idea????
The 2nd unit is also back. Opposing teams go from the imposing inside punishment of the starting five to the deep threat killers off the bench, is tough to defend. I like seeing those guys for the most part playing together for long stretches.

3)RIP DUMBASS SWITCHING!!!!
Boy that guy was an jerk and nobody liked him.......that would be my special words at the funeral too. Looking at the last two games, I've seen more doubling and guys showing then getting back to there man in the last two games, then I can remember over the last 3yrs. Guys saying with their match ups most of the time is awesome.

Also the full court pressure and trapping is also back. And improp trapping at that. If you are standing near a sideline and two of our players are pretty close..........you're probably about to get trapped hard!!!!
This team really good at both, don't know why we didn't much of either during the losing streak.

Actually i still see a whole lot of switching between the 2 and 3s and the other players too. I don't mind switching as long as they talk to each other and not switch so easily on a 1n5 or 1n4 PnR or anything that gets our pgs in a mixmatch continually. Also, if they are going to double they have to do a great job at finding their man again when retreating off the double. Fields, not to single him out but, he totally lost his man which led to an open three.

Switching on D isn't bad, switching every single time 2 players cross each other is the worst defensive concept Ive every seen.

Last two games guys are staying with their man more times than not, or showing and getting back to their man.

All of you guys do realize that Woodson and MDA run basically the SAME DEFENSIVE SYSTEM??? This guy has been here helping with the D all damn year! The team playing hard now is cuz there's some major change to the defense. The biggest change is that STAT and Melo finally decided to play hard like the rest of the team!!! Up til now they both haven't played anywhere near the needed level of defense for this team to win.

The last 6 losses were nearly all the same in that the team had no energy when the starters were in there. STAT and Melo rather than lift their teammates were dragging them down! That's why we had all those AWFUL 3rd quarters!!! Does everyone not remember that all of a sudden? This 2 game miracle can only be sustained if STAT and Melo continue to give Max effort! When they were out, the team was able to give sustained effort on D and they won!!! When they came back that effort wasn't there and they lost! It's really that simple.

That is not the biggest difference, Woodson was simply dogging it. Or another might say maybe MDA was dogging it when he preached defense. He didn't want a DC. he didn't think he needed one. So why spen time preaching something he did not beleive in. Just a theory.

I think woodson had them switching on every play on purpose to sabotage the team and become head coach lol
