He doesn't? He looked a lot bigger standing right next to him. He is taller, longer, and not to mention he is a lot more athletic. Having seen every Thunder game ever played, I know what happens in that spot...Serge becomes relentless on the offensive glass. The Spurs tried it a few times and Ibaka put up Barkley like numbers.

If they wanted to hide Melo, they should just put him on Perkins. That is what good teams do. Hell, Miami put Shane Battier on him!

It isnt about hiding Anthony, it is about forcing him to cover guys he cant cover very well. If he "covers" Perkins who does Chandler check? You want your 7 footer on the perimeter?
The issue is that the Knicks do not play to their best players strengths because they have a bad mix of players. Then you have a coach playing a scheme that doesnt match the personnel and you have what they are now.

That is a lot of words to say the Knicks stink. We all know that.

Lol. They obviously weren't embarrassed enough last night. I mean, you can see bad teams getting beat but jeez at least show up. To be down by 50 at some point in the game two nights in a row...smh.

Tanking for Marcus Smart???

How deep is the West right now?
GS is the 8th seed. They would be the 3rd seed in the East and would be a legit threat to Indiana or Miami.

At the very least this collapse might trigger trades involving Turner, Young, and/or Hawes. It isnt like they can do worse without them.

It isnt just that they stink but they are doing everything wrong which leaves us Knick fan with little hope that they can ever get things turned around in any sustained fashion. If it wasnt for Dan Gilbert, Dolan would be the wirst owner in the league. Even Sterling finally hired good people and let them run the team.
