Knicks · Lance Thomas is a much better defender than I thought (page 1)

Knicks1969 @ 11/22/2015 12:21 AM
The dude did a masterful job defending one of the hardest dude in the league to defend. He moved his feet nicely, and his length was bothering Harden. I did not know that he was that good of a defender.

Now everyone sees why Fish loves the guy. Any coach would appreciate what he brings every night.

this guy may have won the game for us. Was a beast!

He is very cerebral, may not be very talented, but if he keeps improving as a shooter and stays consistent on defense; we will have a winner in our hands.

In my opinion, KP, Aflalo, and Lance won the game

I don't worry about early misses, as long as the dude is doing other things

I hate his arc on his shot.

That missed wide open three was a killer.

He played good defense and was very aggressive so I guess that overall he had a good game.

Afflalo shoots line drives, but surprisingly shoots a high percentage for his career.

Hit 4 out of 7 from downtown, bad open 3 miss aside.

Afflalo in my opinion is a difference maker. The biggest addition of the season. Because of his presence, the backcourt has solidified at both ends of the court. It liberates Calderon from having to defend; which is not his strength, and protects the bigs from having to makeup for the backcourt' mistakes.

On offense, Afflalo is the punch and support Carmelo needed. He can make shots (ugly form or not), and his constant movement helps the triangle to take shape.

Afflalo and Lance did a good job defending the flop king all night.

harden was bothered by NY's length.

He is Tony Douglas but with a brain.

[insert player this year] is a better player than you thought. Then most of us thought. Time to root again and for all of us to stop playing fantasy gm.

Ready for the ride!

Thinking about their loss to Miami, Lance should have defended Wade. He would have shut him down.

I don't know about shutting Wade down, but he would have it somewhat difficult for Wade. There were times in the game when they were double teamed Carmelo every time he touched the ball; I wonder why we did not do that to Wade! We let pick and chose every spot he wanted on the floor; as if the dude is no longer a superstar.

We didnt play any defense vs Miami .. Fisher only gave Lance 5 minute PT vs Miami

he could not throw the ball in the ocean ... he could barely get his shot to the rim. His legs were beyond dead.

It's funny but this team goes as Lance goes. Caution: I have not looked at any stats to back this up. However, it seems that way.
