So are the Bulls, but they are the 2nd best defensive team in the league ... each player at every position is at best average defender for their place on the floor. Most down right bad ...

Rose - Average
Hamilton - Average
Deng - Average
Boozer - Atrocious
Noah - Average

It's a team mind set, philosophy, and effort thing.

The Knicks two defenders in Shumpert and Chandler are better man and help defenders than ANYONE on the Bulls. Which begs the question why are they so terrible defensively?

It's an effort and philosophy thing.

lol Deng was the best SF defender in the entire league by defensive statistics.. and just watching him play. He's an elite defender. Noah is an elite defender because of his dedication and hustle. He's a top 3-5 big man defender/rebounder in the league. Hamilton has barely been playing and his replacement, Brewer, is a very good defender. Rose is an above average defender. Their bench is stacked with guys who all can play very good D.. Asik, Taj, Watson, Butler. They have a very good team of defenders. Calling Noah and especially Deng average is just

"He's always been really nice to me," Lin said. "He's always given me a lot of advice. Right now, we're actually learning to play with each other better in terms of chemistry. ... It's just we need to be able to use his strengths and to use it at the right time within the flow of the offense. And that's been a challenge for everyone in terms of, not just him, just finding the identity of the team in terms of how we're going to play."

What a sad day for the anti-melo mob.

What a sad day for the anti-melo mob.

LOL! It didn't take them long to find their "Identity" when it was Lin and Chandler running the high pick and roll every play and DOMINATING teams.

Now that Melo is back........ they are garbage. Trade his ass.

They were beating teams with an average winning percent of 38%.

The losing streak is against teams with a winning percent of 60%.

Most of those wins were at home too. Most of the losses are on the road. Connect the dots from there.

Without Lin, they are just a shitty team
