What You NEED To Know About The Knicks’ Defensive Success

The Knicks have been better than expected so far this season but most importantly, they’re making tangible improvements to be even better in the future. A lot have been focused on Julius Randle’s career year, increased production from RJ Barrett, and the emergence of Immanuel Quickley, but biggest improvement has to be their defense. In today’s video, we’re looking at what the Knicks’ defense have been doing, what they need improve on, and other aspects you might not have noticed.

This reminds me of how the knicks use to play when I was a kid. They were gritty and played with heart just like this. I'm a Raptors fan but I remember

Is this the next evolution of defense in the NBA, next to switching/preventing high value shots? Using bigs with length and early rotation to cover shots everywhere decently?

Great video. One thing you missed is that they focus on taking away corner threes. Thibs really emphasized taking away corner threes in the preseason, for instance in the Raptors example, they would rather have Baynes take an open three on the wing, than Lowry take a corner three.

So they don't ice pick and rolls, they are playing some sort of drop coverage and man to man defense while mixing zone to it.

Thanks. I haven't had the chance to watch much the Nicks so I was curious about their defense.

Friendly advice: consider voice/speech improvement, delivery is boring.

There is my man! Was waiting for this vid!! Can you talk the new big 3 nets and how their offense and defense is working?
