The way I see it, our coachig staff has no clue what they are doing when it comes to defense.
If we had so called "defensive minded" players, dont you think that should rub off on our other players and cause a chain reaction?
I say that to say this. If you add a player to our roster like ron artest, shane battier, dwight howard, raja bell, sam dalembert etc... Those players will automatically bring the defensive intensity out of the other players.
Our so called "defensive minded players" like JJ and carter are not the quality defensive stoppers to make the knicks better defensivesly. Especially when or coach dosnt teach D.
Add a player like dwight howard, who will clog the paint, his help defense is automatic, blocks shots,gets steals, intimidates players to not even think about coming into the paint.
He also rebounds. Add him and it makes it easier for players like melo and fields, simply because they KNOW they have help, so tey can rotate to the shooters if they get beat by their man and dwight is there to contest. Championship!
Now a wing defensive stopper like battier will guard the best wing player on the opposite team, and can also knock down shots, so teams have to stick him. Which opens up the lane (Spreads the court) for melo n stat.
Also look a tayshaun prince for detroit. Him and ben wallace controlled that defense, and the other players followed they're lead.
Players like fields can play help D w/ battier and get more steals to start the fast break.
Turiaf is not the same turiaf who blocked shots ferociously like when he played for GS or LA, anthony carter is a liability on the offensive end, as is JJ.
JJ played 19:37 minutes last night 0-3 from the field and only 5 rebounds. 3 defensive and 2 offensive. Those numbers are pitiful. Teams dont have to guard him, and he sucks in the PnR defensively. TD played 26 minutes and shot 1-12 w/ 3points. Terrible. Just wanted to add that.
My point of this thread is we need a defensive POY caliber player. MDA does not have any schemes on D, and shots will not always fall. Our role players are just not cutting it. We add a player who can by themself CONTROL the defense, without needing coaching, we will automatically be a better team.
Only the knicks let players like hansborough have career nights. That pisses me off!
Also Fields should be the number 3 or 4 option in our offense. Period. He only took 3 shots last night. He D's up, and deserves a bigger role.
I wanna know what you guys think if we keep MDA, but add a player who will controll our defense, and also has to be guarded on the offensive end. ie battier, howard, artest, prince etc...
