Now people know why resigning JR is insane. the guy just doesnt have the focus or the ability to be consistent. Novak has been a bust. I cant blame Shump because the kidd is coming off a major injury. I like Tyson but he doesnt deserve to eb an all-star. I love felton's heart but he is not a top point guard like chris paul

lol
paul was right about grant hill making the difference. hsi defense on melo denying him the ball the whole 4th and making it hard for him once he got it was key. underrated player.
I like the Kidd, Camby, and Wallace signings. The problem is we are too reliant on those guys.

Dunno if any NBA champion in the last decade has been NOT a top 10 defense let alone below average
I think thye Knicks got a little arrogant after the first month. November we played like a champion on both ends of the court. But then we started to get lazy and the effort that was there is November is gone
I'm really hoping all this media hype about Rasheed being the true heart and soul of this team is true.
Rasheed will come back and we'll defend like we did when he was playing. Keep repeating this and it will become true.
the return of the "savior" hope: baron davis style.
gotta hope the hype is wrong -- these guys can make due regardless of wallace/camby.
There was a reason we added Sheed and Camby. You really do need bigs that are top tier defensive players and rebounders. You can't get smarter than Sheed and Camby in terms of defense at the basket. We've missed their presence. It's not a cure all, but they would make a difference.
Sheed talks on D and gets guys where they need to be and he's active for an old guy. Tyson has had far too many nights where he's not as aggressive as he was last year. Having Sheed would help a lot.

mrknickshot is a good fan. he doesnt rip everyone. Only the guys who deserve it. Im a big knick fan but i have no problem calling out guys who lack effort

Hotfresh will go down with the bad defensive and low efficient players.
Watching TV and not seeing the game again??
Uh ... and what draws your scatter brain to this conclusion?
Let me help you out just this one time...What teams are doing is running Felton off the high screen and roll and no one else is switching...But u only seeing Felton's man open...U call it bad defense right??..Watch the whole game..
uh ... let me fill you in son, FELTON SUCKS ON OFFENSE!! Case closed.
You can watch your TV upside down or sideways ... it won't change. He is an awful defender.
Yet u find time to compliment Nash and Novak's defense???..Im not your son!!!
haha. I'm not your son!!! i love it

I have never said that Novak is a good defender, son. I just said that he was playing better at some point. You are cute though.
Felton, Novak, Copeland, Stat and Kidd are all AWFUL defenders! All of them. Tyson, JR, Priggy and Melo are ok. Put that in your saved quoted of mine.

I have to give Knickshot credit for calling out Tyson early on. I didnt agree with him at first but im seeing it now. I dont know if its effort or what...
Knicksshot is like all the guys who leave the forum and come back under a new name...He rips everyone and never commits to supporting a player...Life is easy that way...
I agree with Magic, this team needs a trade desperately.
nixluva wrote:nyk4ever wrote:this game is a microcasm of what ive been saying for the past month. the knicks offense is awful. you can't even call it an offense, it's either chuck a three or pray melo scores 40 and the defense is non-existant. felton is magnificent when he takes the ball to the hoop, but too often he brings the ball and shoots an 18 footer with 15 on the shot-clock. the offense is putrid. defensively, we don't close out on 3's, we switch and leave guys open constantly and about every 3 possessions there is an uncontested three. it's pathetic.
There are some real issues with this team. I'm tired of giving Woody a pass when it comes to tightening up the teams flaws. This team doesn't really stick to ball and player movement on offense and that is a lack of discipline. Defense is often lax and too often Tyson and STAT aren't really hitting the boards or shutting down the shots at the hoop as they should. Perimeter D has been a real weakness this year. They've got some real issues to try and fix. Not insurmountable issues, but they can't ignore the problems.
They also like to watch the ball in the air instead of boxing out for rebounds

I have supported Melo as hard as anyone so you just made yourself look dumb ... again
I will however call him out if I don't like something. Try it sometime, it can be exhilarating.

I dunno about desperately. These things can happen:
- Shump continues to recover in time for the playoffs
- Kidd gets rest and returns to early season form
- Sheed comes back and helps with defense and rebounding
- Camby comes back and helps with defense and rebounding
- Amare becomes not an ATROCIOUS defender and becomes merely bad
I think its time someone called Woodson out.

they need to find ways to deal with things when those guys are out. camby and wallace have combined to play in only 34 games. i dont disagree it will help though. i want them to avoid the same type of feel they have had with waiting/hoping that when player X comes back, its all good now.

I'll give you shump and kidd. Camby is too brittle. Sheed will atkke a while unless he comes back very soon. Stat will never be a good defender i think its too late at age 30
