Falls right in line with my point. Knicks need to get back to Novemeber-early December defense to advance in the playoffs.

The offensive system is not good enough to carry the team

Not saying they are better the Knicks. Just trying to dispell the notion that the Knicks are some kind of defensive juggernaut.

Knicks are better overall because they have a better offense. Playoffs is a different animal though. Flaws are exposed. Teams that go to the finals tighten up the screws and have very little if any flaws

In seventeen parts, IronWillGiroud outlines his vision for the Knicks franchise, his thoughts on Melo and his philosophy of strength training. Plus much more. Enjoy!!

Jordan Dolhaze (JD): Hello IronWillGiroud, it is an honor to interview you, your reputation precedes you.

IronWillGiroud (IWG): Yes, it is no problem.

JD: Let's get right into the thick of the berry bushes, is this team a championship contender?

IWG: No.

JD: Why not?

IWG: It lacks leadership from its top players.

JD: The team has two superstars, how can they lack leadership?

IWG: It is something only astute observers of the ways of Man can detect, there is a lack of fortitude and resilience in these so-called 'superstars'.

JD: You would not call them superstars?

IWG: (laughs) No, there is nothing super about these guys.

JD: Many fans would disagree, they rather enjoy the scoring exploits of Carmelo Anthony and the wild slam dunks of Amar'e

IWG: The many are often wrong, and they are easily fooled by the glitter sprinkles. It takes more than scoring points to deliver the prize. Regular season scoring averages sell jerseys. The mindset of a champion cannot be quantified. (laughs) Amar'e's wildest slam dunks are in the dust bins of history.

JD: How can we then hope to grasp the mindset of a champion, if not by his points per game?

IWG: This understanding belongs to a different dimension, a spiritual realm where only a select few among the fan base dare tread, indeed where only a select few have the capacity to travel in the first place. It is more a sense than a shallow reading of a box score

JD: That sounds pretty kooky, what hard facts can you give me to support your claims?

IWG: This burden is not on me, to peg my observations to simple statistics would be to completely misunderstand the concepts I have mentioned. The burden is on the masses to justify their irrational love affair, but then love, like hate, is often irrational. And, anyway, the masses are best at consuming, not thinking. If you want some glimpse of the ideas I point to, then you would do well to think about what the thoughts in Carmelo Anthony's head could have been on the night that he chased the Boston bus.

JD: You do not think Carmelo should have chased the Boston bus?

IWG: I do not, and it is in the chase of the bus that we see the reason New York will never win a championship with Carmelo at the lead.

Part 2 next week, thank you for joining us.

Funny how you left out the most important part. This part below. That you're not even a true Knicks fan to begin with. Not even close to being one either.

IronWillGiroud wrote: Tough game for me, personally. It's one of the few games that I'm torn between rooting for the Knicks or the other team. Sorry gang, Gonna have to be Minny tonight. The other games are against DEN/LAL. I'm a big fan of Pekovic, he's an inspiration to me plus he is from Montenegro.

Funny how during this "interview" you completely leave out the fact that you're not a Knicks fan, but instead a fan of Gallo and the Nuggets, Mike D'Antoni and the Lakers along with Pekovic and the Timberwolves. Funny how you left out the parts where you root against the Knicks and pulled for Minny to beat us, despite the fact that we're in a close race for the number one seed. You still wanted the Knicks to lose while putting for Minny.
