Knicks are doing a pretty bad/average job of identifying Atl's strategy. They're not driving so they can pick up points in the paint. They're driving so that they can kick it back out to the 3.

Too many times I'm seeing folks get sucked in on help defense, leaving their man open in the corner.

This is exactly the problem. And I've never seen any of our guards draw a charge, deflection, or steal with their help D. But it ALWAYS leads to an open corner or elbow 3. Stay the fukk home!! :stopitslime:

bro it's mad frustrating. I don't know if these guys paid attention to the scouting reports, because they're playing very undisciplined on the edges.

Timmy has given up so many points tonight due to his lack of awareness. That 8-0 run to start the 2nd qtr was all on him.
