Ugggh....KAT needs more shots, more post ups and the defense fell apart in the fourth quarter, but panic is way premature.

Knicks get back right against Indy but still too early to jump to conclusions about the team but as predicted - NY played with more intensity, more physicality, more effort & more attention to detail, Rotation still light and more injuries mounting as a dead serious Cleveland team comes to town.

That lack of depth we keep talking about is an absolute reality for the Knicks now. The problems are mounting up between the lack of bodies, lack of rhythm, lack of shots and lack of a functional shooting form. This early part of the season may prove to be a challenge.

Knicks' depth being tested early in the season but it's an opportunity for a few players, on the team and maybe off the street, to give the team an element that could make them even harder to guard...but maybe harder for them to guard as well.
