This team did not compete tonight. Had no heart, no pride. They expected to lose before the tip off.
This team does not belong on a basketball court.
Team gets abused in the paint every night. I thought the lesson from last year was the team needed size inside, whatever happened to that?
This team has no post presence to command double teams to free up shooters and no defense, recipe for disaster.
Talking about Defense, here is what Lebron said
James, who dismissed a question about joining the Knicks next season, was asked if he could play for a team that didn’t care about defense.“I’m a winner. I just want to win,” he said. “I’ve yet to play for a team that doesn’t like defense, but that’s not about the team, it’s about individuals first. Individuals have to want the responsibility to guard the guy in front of them and then it makes it a lot easier as a team.”
That sounds like an indictment of the Knicks coaching staff and players.
