You better be hell a great at defense, if you want to win a seven game series with the 3rd to 10th best player shooting 20% from three. We need more offensive talent, too.
As we have seen with the Knicks a headcoach can make a hell of a difference for the team defense, but as the Knicks also learned in the play-offs, offensive talent matters most, and they did not have enough of it, so they added Walker/Fournier.
Nice cherry picking. Lets plan our long term asset moves on a 4 game sample. And ignore they shot over 50% from 3 the first three games, or that they were playing freaking Boban in a zone in the last three games daring the best three point shooting team in the league to fire. Take a look at the offensive and defensive rating during that series and tell me it was the offense that was the problem.
We just replaced JRich with Bullock in the starting lineup. That should make a big difference in the shooting department
And if you are expecting Kidd to turn this group of players into an elite defense, prepare to be very disappointed.
