The story isn't the Knicks' defense, it's that they can't score on what is the worst defense in at least the last 20 years.

Jazz playing hard on offense, but uninterested in defending three point shooters who hit threes.
 
This loss clearly ain't on Lin but the media and idiot NBA fans watching will put it on him... derp Linsanity derailed!!1

Amar'e is terrible. He's shooting 44% this year, which is just terrible for a guy that's a perennial 50%+ shooter. No surprise that he's 6 for 17. Add in Melo's 6 TOs and uncanny ability to stagnate the offense and this game's anyone but Lin's fault.

Why do the the Knicks fans keep chanting, "DEFENSE"?

They don't do that!

EDIT: LOL Deron fouls out and the Knicks faithful cheer.

"You can't hurt us anymore!"

Huh? Lin? No way! The media is salivating to blame Melo, but I think Deron will be the lead story tonight.

wow these refs in the magic bucks games are some corrupt fucks. i know who cares but seriously they are making an epic series of ridiculous calls against the magic (and no calls against the bucks)

of course you can put this on lin.
he's been taking the scoring load in the past 9 games.
dude's 5-15 and deferring to other teammates in this quarter.
clearly, you're not watching this game.

even if the knicks somehow do an epic comeback like before, it still doesnt excuse them for playing like absolute shit

they should have been leading the whole time

Played a shitty game, no question. But the people making fun of the Knicks like they can't turn into a contender by the end of the season are just silly. If Magic Johnson says they can become a special team, then no matter what any NeoGAF poster says, they can become special. We have the talent and are pretty deep.

"Can" and "Are" mean different things. Rome wasn't built in a day. Obviously they aren't a contender right now and regardless we should have won this game, there is no easy "wait till Melo/Amare/Baron come back" easy fix - it'll take time and practice, that's all.
