We also saw evidence that his personal player development hire, Simovic, saved Gradey Dick's season.
You can't put any of the defense on him. This season was a mess handed to him from management, and then a strong targeted tank.
What have you guys been on?
He had a training camp with Barnes, OG, Pascal and Jakob AND had the New-York-Knicks-Defense-BLUEPRINTS via Ike Azotam AND still could not get anybody to defend, could not get the team to defend, could not instill any defensive principles because he has none.
What do you think the all KNicks sueing us was about, stealing Thibodeau great "offensive" system?
Udoka has turned the worst defensive team into one of the best; it is either you have it or you don't as a coach...Masai has to get him a defensive coordinator or do the right thing and hire a coach like Bud with defensive principles(&adaptable)
