lol. dude, you are such a knicks apologist, i love it.
knicks got away with some off nights for amar'e and melo tonight. looked like melo was hurt and the rest of the team was settling for jumpers. 3 points total from the bench is not going to cut it.
Overall they did do their job defensively. Sure they had some slip ups in particular late in the game but overall they did their job on D. Perhaps you don't remember that they used to give up 106 ppg! The Knicks are a much better offensive team than they showed tonight and on most nights the Knicks should play much better on offense than they did. That's not being an apologist that's just stating facts. I don't get you.
no, i agree. the defense is MUCH improved. especially tonight versus last week against this same team. melo and amar'e were off tonight and the refs called a weird game, but they pulled it out. knicks outshot the bobs 40-15 at the FT line, so maybe got some homecooking, but the defense looks good. iman and tyson change the feel of the entire team on defense. with iman in the game, tyson looks much better. they played well. hit the offensive boards. all in spite of amar'e and melo having tough nights.
