Saw the game tonight and i will continue to stress this point until i beat it to death.
The Lakers are a disgrace on the defensive end, they stunk it up on Pick&Roll and Transition defense again (5-10 games in a row now) but that said' whats disturbing to me is that they just dont give even 75% on the defensive end, when you know the Knick-a-bonk'ers are running a high volume shooting team and you dont close out to shooters. You simply cannot delude you self and say "the Lakers are a defensive minded team"
Atleast Kobe isnt constantly talking defense in the media after this stint of games' thats a relief
All the props in the world to the Knicks' they are on a 5 game roadtrip' and they outhustle the Lakers though 3 qtr's with only 7 players but they were flat in the 4th.
If they had a vet on the bench and another solid big, they would have won that game.
I'll defently watch the Knicks this year, regardless of past hate, they are playing entertaining basketball.
