Mike Brown's halftime message was simple: "Put your chest on the ball!" But the Knicks' defensive breakdowns tell a different story. ⁣ ⁣ OG recovers well from the pin down screen, but Brunson backs up instead of meeting the handoff - basic stuff that every NBA team runs. When your point guard won't challenge the ball handler, you're asking for trouble.⁣ ⁣ What really gets me is Sims running into his own teammate's back instead of boxing out Cisse. Robinson's reaction says it all - pure disgust at giving up another easy bucket.⁣ ⁣ This isn't just about the Mavs game. We're seeing the same defensive lapses night after night. Even Bridges can't keep his man from driving to the dotted line while Robinson just watches.⁣ ⁣ Defense starts with effort and positioning. The Knicks are failing at both right now.
