nice video

So help you get screwed, you don't help you still get blamed
We lack talent, speed/mobility, size, athleticism, and DEFENSIVE players

But I do agree Woodson's system is flawed, something I have said last season
We have NO LEGIT SF's, a PG that can stay in front of his man, and we don't have 2 shot blockers/rebounders to play together effectively

There is no help concepts or fundamentals. This happened a lot last year as well although credit Kidd for directing some traffic. We get exposed in high pick and rolls all game because there is zero help, not because our PG's are slow lol

now we need only to figure out is it the coach fault for not addressing this issue, or is it the players that not doing what the coaching staff ask from them.

either way it's horrible D for a defensive mind coach, on the other hand, players doesn't seem to care, Chandler, even if they care it wouldn't help, Felton, care, but can't hold the team by themselves, Melo, ohh yea, and plain stupid/no basketball IQ, JR/Stat

I would like to add, I have to believe Woodson breaks down the tape just like drk3351 did, he does it all the time. You mean to tell me that haven't be taught what to do and how to do it ?

When has Melo come over as a power PF and stopped a guy from Dunking or making a layup ?

He should go back to being a SF and let Jr play SG not SF.

Great breakdown! The lack of a hedge from Tyson or whoever the big is at the time on the play has been a recurring problem for the Knocks all year. Also, while not on this play, the Knicks PGs ability to keep their man in front of them has been unbelievably bad all year. While the Knicks weak side defense is really bad, their shouldn't be a need for thar kind of help every time down the floor.

Nice video.

Can you send a copy to both Dolan and Woodson? It will give them something to laugh about over their next tea time.
