Knicks Defensive Struggles Deep Dive: Are Mikal Brides And Karl-Anthony Towns To Blame?

Can the New York Knicks overcome their defensive woes this NBA season? With a current defensive rating of 113.7 points per 100 possessions, the Knicks find themselves ranked 17th, a stark contrast to last season's top 10 finish (largely earned without OG Anunoby).

Join hosts Gavin Schall and Alex Wolf as they dissect the Knicks' defensive struggles, focusing on key players like Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Discover how the absence of Hartenstein and Donte DiVincenzo impacts the team's performance and explore how Mikal Bridges' disastrous lack of physicality has hurt the team.

The discussion also highlights the Knicks' rebounding challenges (not as bad as you think?), low forced turnover rate, and KAT's improvement. Will strategic adjustments and player performances turn the tide for the Knicks? Tune in for an in-depth analysis and expert perspectives on the team's path to improvement.
