Defense, defense and more defense is what New York Knicks assistant coach Jud Buechler was preaching during the 2019 NBA Summer League. The entire regime from top to bottom is on the same page when it comes to New York Knicks being identified as a tough hard nosed and aggressive defensive team in the open Eastern Conference.
David Fizdale wants the New York Knicks to run often and hard. He wants the fast paced offense to be predicated on forced turnovers defensively. The Knicks certainly have the personnel to push the envelope defensively and stop the most important play in the game right now which is the “Pick-and-Roll”.
