Knicks are better, but the Lakers can score, the Knicks can't defend, Lakers keep games close and so do the Knicks.

Actually it's more accurate to say the Knicks don't defend consistently but they can and do defend well in stretches. That's how they've won games but it goes under the radar.

They're 26th in defensive efficiency.

26th in opponents field goal percentage allowed.

23rd in opponents points allowed.

They are not good defensively.

I'm aware of the stats but some of that is blowouts factoring in. They can and have played good D in stretches which is how they've won games. It's one of those things that overall stats aren't gonna show.

Name the last team that finished 26th in defensive efficiency that made even the second round of the playoffs. It's not a good sign.

As long as Matt Barnes is in Sacramento and Fisher's in LA, I guess no restraining orders have been violated.

Now you're talking about something different. We don't know how this team will be defending by the time the playoffs come around. It's an issue to be sure but they don't have to be great defensively in order to win. Timely stops can be enough. They do need to improve tho.
