I have two questions: why were KO and Williams in the dog house? That question is directed strictly at mreinman and Nalod.


The switch defense, are our boys coached to switch or do they do it deliberately?

Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

The switching is because of Jose! Everyone else was able to stay with their man fairly well.

If the strategy is to switch on defense.....Then you play guys like LT and D.Will who can guard multiple positions. But I don't think thats a coaching decision. Thats just each teammate covering eachothers back.

Yeah they haven't been employing a switching defense but sometimes it's unavoidable. Jose is the one that really messed up the D with bad switches.

I pray to God they go as far away from the switching; it is Reminiscent of the 17 win season, and I can't stand that strategy

I can tell you that the Knicks defensive schem is not a Switching scheme. If you just watch a game and look at how they defend its clear they aren't trying to switch everything. As I said Jose is the main source of the switching that does happen.

Most of the time they play straight up and ICE PnR! They will hedge and recover if there is penetration or a cutter.

Oh I Know Nose is the main source of our defensive issues. But I don't mind him much when he is aggressive and score the ball. However, he is so old, he is agressive once every 10 games

GS switches a lot. Switching is ok depending on the matchups but the knicks seem to switch without even attempting to get through the picks.
so here is what phil is thinking ....

The first question was directed at you and Nalod:). Are you ignoring it unpurpose???

probably because they were not listening to the coach. KO was making brutally bad plays and DWil was just a wild man.

It seemed to have worked because they both seem to have gotten the message.

Erratic minutes for the two players is the reason why they were not as productive as they can be. The stats sheet might prove when they are played for 15 minutes or more, we not only always win, they are super productive

O'Quinn has been really up and down. Prior to his ankle injury he was playing fantastic. When he came back he had three really bad games and it didn't appear to be because of the ankle. Tonight he had a really good game. Maybe his lack of minutes are because he is so inconsistent? I don't follow DWill as closely. However, if he can be as fired up as he was tonight on a regular basis he would live up to his draft status. I think he is a great fit as sixth man because he brings it.
