Yi was getting humiliated out there. And it wasn't just his perimeter defense either. He was slow on rotations, he got posted up by those "6'8" forwards" and got schooled, he wasn't hustling, his help defense was late by around 30 seconds. I could go on if you want.
Please go on and talk about Yi. I think it's pretty common knowledge that Yi need to improve on defense. So do Anderson, and all the Nets forwards. You all love to talk about the guy, I'm all for it.
the knicks are actually better than what alot of people think. I really expected the knicks to blow the nets out I'm amazed the Nets are even able to be down only by single digits
You were giving excuses for his defense, so I showed you exactly why everyone is complaining specifically about him. The Nets are not a good defensive team, but Yi is by far the worst man-to-man to defender we have. Anyone else notice that VC is a step slow tonight? He looks very tired out there.
Never excused Yi's poor defense. I just said idiots love chanting Yi's name. The guy is a star, everyone focus on him. Net's team defense is one of the worse in the league and Knicks offense is one of the best.
I guess Harris had 4 fouls, but that was a long time to go without him. Sometimes a coach can overreact when a guy gets to 4 fouls. It's the second half. In college, guys play with 3 fouls throughout the second half, and only get taken out when they get to 4 fouls.
Don't put Yi back in the game. Let this be an example to Knicks breaking the Net's game plan. You let a scoring team score and panic.
