Woodson is playing guys that are paid a ton of money to produce. No excuse for guys like Tyson giving up out there. Worst guy who ever was given titles like good locker room guy, defensive anchor, pro etc.

Great minds think alike.

He must have been told to, or he is a punk coach who's afraid of his players.

Knicks getting back into this

New Knicks strategy, play poor and make the Bulls lose interest.

Amare to the rescue?

Between Amar'e falling into a stupor and Tyson not giving any real help effort, the defense doesn't stand a chance. Tyson does NOT defend the basket. This MYTH that Tyson protects the rim is crazy. He watches a lot of shots go in the rim but he isn't protecting it.

I wish Aldrich would be given minutes. Have to wonder if Tyson's close relationship with Mills is why he is still on the court. The guy needs to be moved asap.

Exactly. He's been living off reputation for a while now.

Imagine Melo playing with a guy that moves the ball like NOah.

If Noah was on the knicks he would not be moving the ball.

Melo is balling today, hitting shots, and moving the ball unselfishly, surprisingly with the big lineup
Tyson missed a couple of catches for easy baskets though he converted some FT distance jumpers

I like how he has the combination of aggressiveness and willingness to move the ball
It seems like George's Karl's criticism is giving him the that boost that we want to see with his potential

Though we played some poor fundamental DEF, an area we must improve on

Glad Woodson is not giving Pablo PT, he just doesn't have the ability to defend many players on this tough Bulls lineup with his lack of size/speed/athleticism
His best possible player to defend is DJ Augistine and he can eat Pablo up 1v1

Hate to harp on Tyson but he's been a HUGE part of the problem the last 2 years when this team has lost. He's just not as good defensively as his REP has people thinking. He actually plays LAZY BB. He'll move a little and make it seem like he's playing hard, but then when we need him to come over and shut down the lane or make an effort to protect the rim, he often doesn't move. All these points the Bulls have in the paint have been scored with Tyson on the floor.

Gotta say that Woody is partly responsible too, cuz he's not doing anything about it. He's just allowing the team to SUCK game after game. It's crystal clear that this team has at least enough talent to be winning their fair share of games. Not saying they're great, but we're losing with pretty much the core of the team from last year. NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.

DrAlphaeus @ 3/2/2014 2:06 PM
Zone defense frustrated the Bulls a bit. Do we give Woody credit for that at least? What are the keys to Knicks ending the 3rd quarter up? I don't want a bunch of JR/Felton heat checks, I want high percentage. I want to see Prigs with a big line up doing a lot of rim snapping / open mid-range shots. Let the guards save their energy for defense and cutting.

It's not like Melo moves that much without the ball to begin with though, at least not in this offense
