Last night was a great lesson for this team, when you don't play good defense your offense suffers.

You could see the pressure on a lot of guys faces after getting down by a lot. I saw a lot of forced shots by our top players.. when you play great defense there's no need to force shots, we need to start playing defense with our feet... letting opponents go to the line 30 + times is a sure way to stop any offensive momentum.

When we start playing defense we will win a lot of games. We have the offensive weapons.. so the way I see it is this teams problem starts and ends with defense.

Also dose tony brothers hate the knicks/melo... if I were the knicks I would ask the NBA to not have Toney brothers ref anymore knicks games until looked into further

I think our problem is both on offence and defense
Offense we are often rushing, and when we rush it is leading to some bad shots which leave our defense completely exposed.

Defensively there are lineup problems. I'm not sure that the Knicks have enough defensive talent in the starting 5. Rose and Melo don't defend well and KP can be slow on rotations.
