yeah cause that move right there completely negates his improvement this year.

Good question.

This team doesn't take charges. The one time they miss Jeffries

Why would you want those guys to play? Copeland takes terrible shots, and is way to 3 point happy, he also isn't great defensively. White isn't any good, there's a reason this guy hasn't stuck on any NBA team in his career. He seems to have lost the freak athleticism he used to have.

I have no faith in camby or even sheed to coming back for a long period of time. Camby is always injures especially in a knick uniform. KMART is a wildcard he hasnt played in a while so who knows
2 bad plays on D can just take the sails out of good effort. He has to take the charge and not worry about the fouls. IDK, but between Tyson and Melo they step away to many times.
Can someone make a GIF of that amazing defensive play by Melo?
Jr smith gave up on derozen, so melo said fck it

Bad defensive move, doesn't change the fact that he's got 13 points on 50% shooting, so he's not playing bad.
There's no denying that was a bad way to end the quarter and he should've done better, still though, it's like people hope for these moments just so they can take a dig at him
Not the greatest of defensive starts, pretty weak thus far. But nice to see us coming out at least fighting after getting whopped.
Derozan was going to go over Melo. Melo is not Lebron.

Yet another reason the defense was better last year. Hopefully we get SHeed, Camby and Kmart going and this team should be tougher inside. Now maybe people will believe me when I said that it wasn't just coaching with MDA but the players not doing their job. MDA was never as bad a defensive coach as some thought.

Melo hasn't improved. He still has a terrible defensive rating (107), he hasn't produced many defensive win shares either. Too often he gets burned by other SF's, remember Luol Deng lighting him up? Melo is average on the perimeter, good in the post, and terrible offball defensively, he has too many lazy defensive possessions.

Knicks were terrible defensively for 4yrs until Woodson took over man. What the hell are you talking about?
If Novak can't make shots he is useless.
Damn if only Woodson yelled at Melo like he just chewed into Novak
