Knicks

The New York Knicks need to wake up and start playing some defense.  I can understand that after a major trade, such as the one the Knicks made when they brought in Carmelo Anthony and Billups, any team is going to take time to come together.  the biggest problem is that the Knicks still don't play defense, it is partly coach D'antoni's fault as his teams even before he came to New York didn't play defense.  I don't know if this team with this coach will win a championship, since as we know defense wins championships.  Also this team for years has had a tendency to play down to the competition, the Knicks will beat the good teams and loose to the bad teams which they should beat.  Although this will be good news once they are in the playoffs, playing down to the competition is not good for seeding, part of that is their inability to play defense, they can't shut the weaker teams down and can be blown out by the big teams.
