The Starters have really come together as a unit defensively. Last year we got smoked most 1st quarters and now the Knicks are really winning 1st quarters with regularity. If they keep this going they're going to eventually become a good team. Just gotta fix their 3rd qtr efforts. |

The only player he cant bench is KP, and that guy's #1 focus is by leading by example "especially on the defensive end."Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: To me it all starts and stops with this. Star player plays this way, and the coach has the depth to pull anyone who isnt defending at a 100%. Nobody is going to mistaken Enes for Alonzo, but Enes is a physical force and he can that way on both ends. You dont have to be Zo or Deke to challenge shots and be in the right spots. It IS hard work though. KOQ is in a contract year. He's more than happy to give a 100% on defense if those minutes are up for grabs. Oh.. and you got the old guy Noah in the woodwork also who I suspect if he's healthy is going to command some run also. A great passing, ball moving big, who sets bruising screens and defends with gusto? So far having these big guys on the floor with KP is proving to be THE formula. As the Knicks start winning some games and even losing ones they feel they COULD win I think this culture grows. Everyone defends and there is some healthy pressure to make your shots cause there are other guys who deserve some burn. I mean McD has taken Lance's minutes, and he's done so by going 100% on defense and being a better offensive player. Sure Lance is prob a better defender but McD is a big boy also and doesnt back down one bit and is out there with something to prove. Guess what? He is. I think this is something new, healthy and GREAT. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs
