    I think in a normal season, the defense would start hitting it's stride in December, and by January/Feb, would be a passable defensive team.

    This years though, they'll need to get that shit together by the end of december/middle of Jan

    No Nurk. Remember he turned a poor defensive team into a top 10 defensive team and i believe at one time top 6

    I'm just looking for flashes from our young guys and I'm seeing it. Seeing that and Melo playing with a ton of energy.

    Melo loving this 2nd unit role making him feel like his Knick days where he was the #1 option.

    My serious wet dream is a strong defensive team. I love defense. I've hated the shitty and lazy defense that the team has used over the (way too many) years.

    Richard Jefferon calling Elleby a rotation player this year; showing he's in preseason form as well.

    We still have trouble guarding 3 point line.

    Elleby’s mannerisms on the court remind me a lot of Babbitt

    Of course it is early, but I'm seeing a lot of wide open '3's being given up on the defensive end....just like last year.
