His defense has been **** all year. I figured he had to work his way back into shape and "trust" his repaired ankle but it's been long enough.

You have to protect the paint and rebound in the NBA. Those are still requirements to winning championships.

Disappointed with KP and Holiday. Needed the boost from rested guys. We got the opposite.

We even use the Tatum and bench player lineup just so 4 starters can play against opposing team’s second unit only to get waxed in 1 minute to start the 4th. Transition defense was disgusting

There’s something this year about this team which doesn’t instill confidence in me. Hope i am wrong come playoffs time but still see too much inconsistency. Everyone here seems confident in them.

Recency bias clouding your opinion. He's been great protecting the paint. Rebounding has never been a strong suit of his. Our 3-pt D suffers when he's on the floor.

At least we see it's not just a JB-led lineup issue hehe. We just stink when Tatum sits.

I don't think so. I think he's been slow as **** and can be had by anyone with the desire to take him to the rim.

I've had them blocked for a while and every time I click "display post" despite my better judgement I end up regretting it. :lol:

I should just stop, but you know how curiosity is.

They need to stop chucking to start games. They were doing much better as of late but the last 2 games just been a lot of bs and find themselves in a tough game

C's get scored on 4 on 5 and then can't score 5 on 4.

Knicks have had good season but terrible against winning teams. You still can’t overlook anyone .
