In all fairness, the Knicks played better defense than they have in a long long time for most part of the game. Their team avg. in blocks are 4 which is second worst in the NBA, tonight they've had 13.. If the Knicks had played like they've done the last two weeks this would've been a blowout (even with the Bulls playing poor in the first half)
Blocks are a defensive stat, BUT 100+ points by the Bulls who are without Deng is pretty bad defense and shows you how unreliable a stat that is for evaluating a team's defense.
I'm not saying blocks = good defense, what I am saying is that 13 blocks > 4 blocks :D
Nobody read about the forcing pick and rolls baseline vs middle article? It's sad the mass audience is too concerned about stars to motivate writers to write about strategy.
