...6'8" from Syracuse University... CARMELOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Starting to think there's no way we ever contend with Woodson as head coach. He has no idea what he's doing to start the season. Ridiculous rotations, lineups that make no sense.

Also Felton and Prigioni are not point guards on a contending team. Neither guy can guard anyone and it completely breaks down the defense every time.

The Knicks are 15-1 when they start prigs and Felton together. It's inconceivable that Woodson went away from this lineup in the playoffs and to start this season (except the one win!) prigs brings ball movement and is pesky.

The problem now is that Chandler is injured. He is the most important player on the team as far as defense goes...they allow 14 more points per 100 possessions with him on the bench .

That's because Felton and Prigs can't stay in front of anyone. They are 2 of the worst defensive guards in the NBA. Combine that with switching EVERG SINGLE TIME on the pick n roll and with no Chandler to clean up the mess, it's not gonna be pretty.

Without Chandler the Knicks are pretty much screwed. K-Mart will break down if he plays too minutes, and they basically have no other big men they can rely on defensively.

For whatever it's worth, I saw this on Knickerblogger; from 1/1/13 to before last night, the Knicks were better defensively with Prigs and Felton on the court than overall, allowing 100 points per 100 possessions compared to 105.2. That's not an argument for them being great defensively, but it isn't like the defense collapses when they play together, they actually play better. (Felton Prigs lineups outscore opponents by 15 points per 100 possessions; all lineups outscore teams by about 3.2)

Im just so sick of watching opposing point guards completely break down our defense with little or no difficulty.

How bad is Amare? It's like watching a car crash in slow motion.

Hahah yeah I was texting a buddy who didn't have a chance to watch the game and I said that I wouldn't be surprised if Amare was throwing the game, and then also that he was indescribably bad. He's just awful right now
