This was great. Some stuff for Ntilikina to break down. Playing against 2 all-time greats in Wade and Lebron was like a master class. Can't really fault him for getting broken down by Wade; if not for Lebron's existence (and his lack of cartillage), Wade might have been touted more as the generational talent.
I think Ntilikina already shows signs of being a disruptor on defense - his presence burns an extra few seconds off the shot clock. nixluva wrote:Just seeing the progress of this team on D warms the heart!

Yeah this shows Ntilikina’s tremendous potential as he develops and matures! Nitty hasn’t even gone around the league once to get more familiar with players yet. I’ve also been impressed with Jack. He’s held his own on D and is giving instruction out there! That’s a huge development I didn’t see coming. |

Looks like this team can defend and has the players to defend.
Looks like Hornacek found a winning rotation early.....That's a first for recent knick coaches. Usually takes them longer. Hornacek isn't afraid to play the best players instead of the best political option like Willy. So far it's working....Gotta give him props. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

Jeff went right back to KOQ when he needed some D down the stretch. He's starting to really know how to use his toolbox with this roster. This team can defend and they like to defend.

Let's remember that Phil stole O'Quinn from Orlando in a sign and trade.
Thanks, Phil! |

Really loving how this team is coming together defensively. This is even better than I had envisioned when I started this thread.

i'll be the first to admit I was dead wrong about our ability to defend, especially the P&R, which multiple players struggled with on other teams.
your talking about Kanter, McDermott, beasly, not to mention the coaching staff was never considered to be strong on defense. When noah comes back is should get even better ES

Your gonna need more than one positive post to rectify. Your gonna have to dedicate at least half the amount of time you spent complaining with pure positivity going forward. I kid, I kid. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.
