“Defensively, I don’t understand (why the club is struggling). That’s my thing. You look to the first thing I said when we started the season at the beginning of the year, I said we will be fine if we play defense. I said it from Day One of training camp and that’s really what it is. “They scored 104 points, but what’d they have — 18 points off second chance, 21 points off of turnovers? Thirty-nine of your 104 points come off of that. That’s a lot. It’s tough. But we’ve got a great group of guys, everybody is together. Everybody likes each other. “We come in, we work hard, everybody do all that. We’ve just got to continue to figure it out. Keep our hearts in the right places. It’s a long season. Fifteen games (in). I know it feels like the end of the world here in New York, but it’s 15 games in.”
