Alright, I was at the game on Saturday, and needless to say was very vocal yelling and screaming, and it became clear, not only are Crawfords friends and relatives who were sitting behind me amazed that you can get prada and gucci for $5 outside the garden, but the Knicks have no prayer this year. And the reason: Defense
TT is the worst SF in the NBA, Pierce is not easy to defend, but he got beat off the dribble almost on every play, was not finding his man to box out, players had to help on screens and TT didn't hustle to get back. He is not aggressive, can't rebound and looks scared. Which is strange since he is a world class boxer.
By 7:45 I started the Keith Van Horn Chant
Marbury and Crawford were just lost, and I am a little worried if Ricky Davis can body Crawford.
When Houston gets back we only get worse defensively, TT can't guard anyone, Crawford is too busy posing to make it back, Steph is fair, Baker is horrible, Naz can't block a shot, it is scary how poor we are defensively for as athletic as most of these guys are....
Traded the wrong Center? Deke, has looked pretty strong, and I know he is slow, but I never liked that move, he is as good a back-up as you are going to find and at least protects the rim......
I know I am worried early because we looked pretty strong in Minny, but is anyone else a little nervous that we could be the this years Bulls? No team with any heart losses by 30 on their own floor especially with a sell-out crowd, and the fans behind them (Sorry for lateness of this post)
