Where did our D go?

[Kinkotheclown]

There's no intensity on the 1st half. That has to change

Yeah. We just look lazy. They showed they can do it and now are not doing it.

Does n e one else miss Sheed?

Very much. His presence makes a huge difference on D.

[uprightciti]

down the stretch its gonna be siiiiiick

amare is out of shape right now but in a few games he will be back as an offensive threat

shump is gonna add a huge defenisve anchor
felton is gonna lead the team
and
wallace is just awesome

felton at the point
kidd/shump
jr at the sf
melo at the 4
chandler as the C!

with a second unit

priggs
brewer
novak
wallace/copeland
amare/camby


we have a championship roster

and thats why i put $50 on it

[R.DOBBZ127]

I think mentally,these injuries are getting to us.No excuse,but itz wearing on us. Same thing in life situations,"If itz not one thing,itz another"......I think once they can see ppl getting back,that spirit will be as high ad ever. Right now,they just need to grind out some winz. Luckily(& as knickz fanz thatz been hard to come across) Jan/Feb schedule should be very favorable. I'm not worried one bit,this iz a different team,tha culture iz different,I see it,I can feel it,& if your a true Knickz fan you can to. We're 21-10 & haven't had our full roster yet..! I Can't Wait.

[Missing56&33]

We are an elite team now....teams are coming in and giving us their best effort...we cant take a night off....we're not good enough yet to relax on subpar teams

[LOOTERX9]

The defense has been going away quickly and it will be totally gone if Amare continues to play. This guy totally destroys any defensive integrity down low on any team. please trade him to L.A so he can be with no defensive strategist Dantoni..

[D-Leethal]

Camby needs to play more.

[yankstheknicks]

you guys keep depending on a player who only played for a yr in the nba...and whos coming off a injury that has either significantly slowed down or just ruined other basketball players career....
this is a young boy.... ok fine... but that doesn't change history...and history has proven that this injury lingers... and has a high pct of reoccurring.. so im not hating on shump...i love this kid...but i just don't see why some or most of you are betting on a defensive change on a unproven player with a potentially career changing injury...
personally and you can quote me if you want...
but............... i don't think he'll be back the same ...EVER.

[Anji]

I would start Sheed against big teams, and I move to starting Felton,Shumps,JR when everybody is back.

Defense would instantly pick up.

ACL tears haven't been a career ending injury in 10-15 years.

And pretty much every time you have said 'you can quote me if you want' you have been dead wrong. Look forward to seeing that again.

Oh stop it......In the past 12 games we were ranked 27th in defense and Amare has only played in one game. You are very dramatic

Dude, April 2012. Nuff said in my eyes.

That was a real bad year.

[Jesse2272]

They are 16-4 with Wallace in the lineup and allow 93.6 points per game. Without him, they're 5-6 and give up 103.9 points.

Need some Sheed!
