Knicks · The new and improved STAT, now that a coach is FINALLY teaching him defense (page 2)

Awesome post

The game plan was to sag off of Wall to force him into taking jump shots so he couldn't penetrate and kick the ball out. The kid knocked down the shot. All I know is that we got killed by the 3 last night.

Nice way to ignore all the impact Stoudemire's made as of late, with one picture showing an entire defense dating an awful shooter, to shoot. Good job. Overreacting due to a single loss. 5-1 during our last 6.

I appreciate the passion you have for the team. I appreciate that you always look on the bright side of things.

You seem to have this pattern where you interpret ANY criticism of the team as a dismissal of an entire season or career's worth of work. You then feel the need to respond in a condescending and abrasive confrontational manner. It's getting old.

What he did during that crucial time drove me crazy, I made a post about it. Nowhere in this post did I state "Amare Stoudemire is worthless and contributes nothing to this team".

Newflash:

You can criticize a player for taking a bad shot or not giving effort WITHOUT crapping on their entire season's contributions to the team.

Amare played terrible defense here does not = Amare is hurting this team. Get him outta here!

RELAX

If you're locked in some kind of personal crusade with tkf or whoever, fine. Enjoy that. You don't have to project your rage against them to every poster on here who has anything less than flowery gushing praise for every member of this team every minute of every game.

If you think the Knicks defensive game plan was hey Amare you stand under the basket guarding no one and let Wall take a wide open 8 foot jump shot then I don't know what to tell you man.

agreed

It shouldn't have come down to Amare trying to guard Wall. If he had gotten up on him, wall would have gone around him. All Wall can do it go in a strait beeline but, for some reason our perimeter defenders can't figure that out.
