NFT: Wizing on the Knicks (in progress)

Phantom foul on Plumlee

Rose is getting destroyed by Wall. Rose is getting a fine look at the back of Wall's jersey.

Kuz is a smart player. I feel like if the Spurs signed him we'd hear a ton about him.
Rose is getting bitched

But the team's PnR defense is pathetic as a whole.
The Knicks should make Wall shoot from outside

I think it's the opposite. I think Rose's PnR defense is so bad that he's fucking up the whole team D (some site did a full write up on this, but I cant find it). I dont want to shit on the guy too hard because, but his total inability to stay between his man and the basket is killing our D. Much more so that Melo's bad D, because penetrating PGs hurt more. Rose's defense just stinks. It's approaching 2015-16 Knicks bad.

Cant do it if your PG defender cant remotely stay with Wall. Rose should defend Beal, and Lee should play Wall. Would also help counter the fast break off a Rose drive/miss
Rose just can't stay in front of Wall...he's got no lateral quickness,

Absolutely. But it's similar with most players on this team, not just Rose. Recently there was a sequence where Kuz and BJ switched onto the same man, leaving a wide open layup. Granted that's only one play, but it speaks to the whole team being inept, save for Baker, Holiday and sometimes Lee.

Melo at the 4 will definitely help mask his helplessness though.

dep026 : 1/19/2017 8:46 pm : link
you are being way unfair on the Pick n roll defense. If he is taught to go over every screen, you need a better big to pick up the Wall and better helpside defense.

Porz helpside defense was pathetic in the first. And O'quinn did nothing to slow down Wall either. To be honest, it really looks like the Knicks have zero clue how to defend a pick n roll.

Rose goes over, the big sits in the lane, and there is no help side defense.
and Rose is a bad defender

their big cant contain the penetrator, and they dont rotate well at all. They literally have no clue on how to defend it. The driver, screener, and spot up shooter are wide open every time.
Their main problem is  
dep026 : 1/19/2017 9:03 pm : link
Rose is going over the screen, instead of under it. You live with Wall shooting nothing but 3s and long jumpers. That way it helps against the roll and collapses the lane.

it also helps guys not to leave shooters. For rose to go over the screen 30 feet out is utterly stupid. If they are told to go over the screen, Rambis is an idiot. If Rose does it on his own, he is an idiot.

Wow... the Knicks have an abundant amount of guards who you know can't shoot a basketball consistently beyond 5 feet. I don't know how any NBA team can really expect to win games like that. Jennings is useless. He dribbles in the paint and runs away from the basket. WTF is that? He doesn't even try to challenge ANYONE near the rim. He can't pull up and shoot. He can't take guys off the dribble once in the paint. Lee has the same problem. I now understand why other than KP, Melo and Rose the Knicks can't draw fouls.

I also see why both Lee and Jennings don't stay on teams long. No defender is going to respect your offense with those guys on the court.

Knicks have a serious talent/skill issue at various positions.

From the Post - this is outrageous:

Lee said Washington assistant Sidney Lowe deliberately distracted him while on the court, shouting in his ear as if he were a player. And that may have had a considerable impact on the Knicks 113-110 loss to the Wizards.

I was watching Carmelo, thinking hes about to shoot the ball, but then he drives and the ball comes to me, said Lee, who received the ball in the left corner after the Knicks sought a game-tying 3 after inbounding with 13.7 seconds left.

Then I see [Washingtons Kelly] Oubre in front of me, but right here Im hearing, I got your help, Im right here, Im right here. I come to find out its their coach standing next to me. Im thinking hes a player. So I drive and try to make a play. I dont know if the league should look into that. If that was a tactic in their defensive scheme, it worked because I thought it was a player. Its something they [the league] need to take a look at.
