This is why stats can be so deceiving... aren't we supposedly one of the better defensive rebound and box out teams in the league???

Yet i have watched every game this year and it seems like we struggled in that department.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Speed the game up, that doesn't mean take quick shots, but it does mean push the ball against one of the best half court defenses in the league (and slowest pace).. these are the sorts of obvious and small things that if we get right make me feel a lot better about playoffs matchups.

Oh and yeah the boards...

Knicks might be better with Randle out. They play with more pace and space. This is like playing SGA-less OKC again but with more talent and better defensively. They never stop moving.

The stats are what they are. It just means we're better than most at it. But when we're faced against another elite rebounding team, we're in trouble.

Well, let's just hope this isn't who we are. Knicks came prepared and eager to win.
