Yep, its not just poor defense, teams are pumped to play against us- I hate that we lack an intimidation factor.

Given up 20 points in 6 minutes.

Nice to see Cope starting off hot, he's been quiet lately.
GodSaveTheKnicks @ 1/13/2013 12:20 PM
More 1 on 1 offense
gunsnewing @ 1/13/2013 12:21 PM
Well looks like we didnt learn anything from losing 3 games
Clean @ 1/13/2013 12:21 PM
No one can break down the D again. Kidd playing more minutes has made him make dumb decisions also.
GodSaveTheKnicks @ 1/13/2013 12:21 PM
Knicks offense:

Copeland goes 1 on 1
JR goes 1 on 1
TO by Kidd in transition

gunsnewing @ 1/13/2013 12:22 PM
Would not surprise me if we lose to Detroit either. They are playing better
yellowboy90 @ 1/13/2013 12:22 PM
Kidd with another stupid pass. HE is killing the team with those lazy passes.

kidd looks worse than bibby. I understand he didnt sign to be an everday point guard but can he ever have one decent game when felton is out. I mean he is a HOF for godsakes
StarksEwing1 @ 1/13/2013 12:23 PM
Barkley has been spot on with us. I hate barkley but everything he said about the knicks is coming true the last month
OGkush121 @ 1/13/2013 12:23 PM
Need a PG that can run...definitely.
and missing Camby/Sheed, not to mention Shump

The coach wants to make it tougher on them, so they bring that same intensity to the court.

"We've just got to get back to where we were," he said. "I don't like to say we need to beat up on each other, but we need to get in the gym where we mix it up a little bit, and if it becomes out of control -- because I'm going to force that issue. ... It ain't about trying to outscore teams, which we've been struggling in that area as of late. It's about trying to defend, rebound and then we'll figure out the offense once we get the ball."

Woodson said he feels a big reason for the Knicks' recent "slippage" is because the team hasn't had many practice repetitions to prepare for games. He's glad the guys will have those coming up.

"I've been doing this a long time, man," he said. "I like to practice because I know if I get a good practice, I feel good about going into that game. I really do. When there's a s----y practice, I don't feel good."

MELO'S TAKE: From watching the film, Carmelo Anthony realized the team hasn't been talking much on defense.

"We have just a lack of communication, and the games that we've been losing, those are the games that we don't talk," he said.

Anthony said the guys are approaching Sunday's game against the Hornets as a "must-win," and they're especially focused on performing well in the first quarter. In their past eight losses, the Knicks outscored their opponent in the opening period just once.

Defense looks bad. Hornets are moving the ball and getting transition buckets beating us down the court or off TOs

Offense is once again Cope, Melo, JR going one on one and forcing the ball into Melo

this pace might be too much for the Knicks.
StarksEwing1 @ 1/13/2013 12:27 PM
Melo looks awful thank god for copeland
Clean @ 1/13/2013 12:28 PM
could Sheed mean this much to the Knicks on D? The last time I remember us playing good D is when he was playing.

this is a the downside of having an aging team. When they win like in november its great but when they play like they ahve the past month its hard to watch
GodSaveTheKnicks @ 1/13/2013 12:29 PM
I think the defense and offense will both look like this till Felton/Shump/Wallace are all back.
MaTT4281 @ 1/13/2013 12:30 PM
NICE hard move by STAT!
Sangfroid @ 1/13/2013 12:30 PM
Amar'e in, with the sstylish blue leggings. Thank god!
GodSaveTheKnicks @ 1/13/2013 12:31 PM
Melo 1 on 1. 4 dude standing around watching.
