slow isn't always bad .
the 5 sowest paced teams were , dallas(28) . miami(26), detriot(30), spurs(27) & blazers(29).
generally teams are slow paced for 3 reasons ...1.they cant score , 2.they are a low post team or 3. their game plan is based on exausting the other team's patience in a well scripted offense...the knicks will fall under reason 2
and with the exception of the blazers those 5 teams were ranked in the top 8 on defense, if they play well it wont be boring , good basketball is rarely boring ...at least to me.
i personally hope jeffries starts instead of crawford if he is productive but if not , its not really a problem if JC starts because of his scoring and passing ability....either way jamal is going to get his minutes just like lee.
