This summer-time lull is killing me - I can't believe I am close to uttering the phrase "this summer is too damn long" - so let me put this out there:

For lack of going to NBA.com (cough) site sucks (cough) and looking up the new zone defense rules, could someone give me a recap? And, what are the thoughts about how this will affect the Knicks? Anyone?

the new rules basically allow weak side zone d. The one catch is that now 3 seconds will be called on the d as well as the O. This wont hurt us that much considering we dont run our offense through a post player. It will effect us in the fact that weak side d will be sagging more and therefore there will be more open 3's. So eisly will help.
