No assholes crybabies a s phonies like Rose, Affalo and Melo.
Yep Yep .. our previous seasons we did not play DEFENSE!
This season we are getting strong team-defense from Frank, Mcderm, Quinn, Lance, and Lee, plus its become contagious
How much better are we?

Shhhhhhh... let everyone keep saying "defensive turnips" or something to that effect. I mean, Kyle Korver scores 20 points in every 4th quarter, right? Our perimeter defense is just airtight, right? And hey, I really liked how our interior defense looked against the Raptors, because Toronto has chip written all over them, right? Except when I keep reading on here that the East is weak, but maybe that's not true!
See, say things enough times and it's true! No matter what the numbers tell you!
And this 8-7 just feels so much better than a normal 8-7.
More team chemistry this year. Knicks seem to like each other this year. And they like playing with each other. Enes Kanter stepping up and defending teammates. More than we can say about past years.
Team chemistry... oh yeah, I see we're in the top 5 in that category. SMFH.
And they like each other more. More then they did when most of them weren't here. Because they weren't on the same team. But what does that matter?
Good thing Kanter's defending his teammates, because he's certainly not wasting alot of energy defending opponents. Oh wait, he gets pulled for KOQ all the time because he's standing up for KOQ, right?
Holy fucking sheehit.

Yet we're were down going into the 4th in multiple games and it has been the defensive turnups of Frank, Lance, KP pulling out these dubs.
We have played 12 games with Jack and Frank getting mins. Of those 12 games we hold a 106.5 Defensive rating which is good for 22nd in the league today. But there seems to be better defensive outputs so far this yr then last yr which are pushing us to 22nd. As last yr Spurs lead the league with 100.9 rating while so far this season 3 teams are under 100. Spurs who were in first place last season would be in 5th place this current season. Our 106.5 rating would be good for 20th last season. And .1 away from being tied for 17th and .2 from being tied for 15th. Our 108.7 defensive rating last yr would be tied for 29th so far this season.
With that said Jack is pretty much a liability defensively as his stamina goes.
