OT: 2012-2013 NBA Discussion Thread: Defense? What is defense?

[30theking]

crushing loss

 

[Kershaw]

What just happened

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Knicks got so ****ing sloppy at the end.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Yeah....nice comeback but missed free throws, sloppy passes and missed wide open shots in the end killed them.

Kidd sucked at the end there.

 

[Kershaw]

I have no idea what Novak was trying to do there.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Welp. Thank goodness Stat, Carmelo and Shump'll be back soon. Plus they get some practices in this week so maybe they'll remember what D is again.

Rough last few minutes from Kidd and JR.

[Ryan McDonut]

heartbreaking ending there

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Kidd was -34 tonight with five turnovers jesus christ

 

[Kakko]

Well, not like the game mattered in the first place. Don't mean to jinx it, but we have our place in the top 4 pretty much locked up, and there's nothing you can do when 4 of your starting 5 are injured AND a terrible team gets on a hot shooting streak

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Kidd was -34 tonight with five turnovers jesus christ

Yeah, he had an awful game. In 3rd and first 8 minutes of the 4th he was great, but for basically 3 quarters he was godawful.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

I have no idea what Novak was trying to do there.

He was only on the court because he's a good foul shooter. I guess Woodson was thinking the Kings would call TO if the Knicks didnt score and Woodson could sub him out.

But the horrid turnover by Kidd messed all that up.

NBA.com stats were skewed.

Now it's at -12.

Not good, but Prigioni +17 and 9 assists, 1stl in 19 minutes.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Why is Woodson drawing up an alley opp out of a timeout?

 

[ImIdaho]

They better win next year.

 

[Kershaw]

But the horrid turnover by Kidd messed all that up.

Still, he went for the miraculous steal attempt as opposed to sticking on his man. Pretty disappointing, I expect more from him since the opposing teams always put their best 3pt defenders on him, perhaps he may have learned something from there.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Novak is not a good defender. Can't expect him to make the right decision in that situation.
Unfortunately they had no timeout to sub.

Novak sucks defensively. This team is too beat up. When healthy, Shumpert will be out there and Noval will be nailed to the pine.

Let Sacratomato enjoy their mini moment in the sun. Cousins will celebrate with a spree at Krispy Kreme.

 

[Machinehead]

I might never watch the Knicks again after that

 

[BroadwayBlues]

Amar'e back tonight.


Happy New Year!

 

[silverfish]

Amar'e back tonight.


Happy New Year!

I still think he's really going to help this team. Off the bench, or starting, no matter. Can't wait to see him play again.

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Disappointed Amar'e decided to play tonight. It's obvious he's not at 100% yet, and I think he's rushing himself back cuz there's so many injured.

Hope it goes well but I would much rather him sit out another week to get back closer to full.

 

[BroadwayBlues]

I think the 80% might mean he may need playing time to be 100%.
He hasn't played in months so he's not in game shape.

 

[Kershaw]

Kidd >> Felton.
