They barely utilize KAT lol I doubt they will even look at Toppin at all
Lma😂😂😂 the HEAT HAD ERIC SPOE
Knicks need to have there own standard and not think about other teams. I will say look at other teams, they are playing there rookies and i must say i am impressed. I do appreciate kat not running away from the question and answering it. But we are not miami, We can do it. Thibbs has to rely on his bench, i cant see him staying here if this season becomes a flop and hes on the hot seat. I know the team love thibbs but maybe a change in coaches is in order. Dont kill me in the comment section im just thinking overtime.
Townd is NOT a center,why is Fake basketball Knicks fans pretending like he is?tighten up the D and put him at the 4.
An undersized power forward is the biggest problem, replace Josh Hart with an athletic big 4, and the Knicks will immediately turn into a championship contender, don't look at the number on the score-board, just watch the game, nobody guards him on offense, can't hold anybody on the perimeter defense, can't grab the rebound or protect the rim, oh man, he is nothing but bench player to force play in starting role, I just don't understand why anybody is realizing this, every game the mighty Knicks is playing 4 again 5.
Is so funny because I used the heat team in a debate. KAT said was any logical fan should be things. It’s only the irrational, erratic, cry babies that excepted a championship caliber team opening night against BOS. This team will win a championship within 1-4 years, be patient
I remember watching Obi toppin on the Knicks, imagine that brother duo on the court right now…
No Atlanta coach made adjustments and Thibs didn't and the knicks starters lead the league in mins played
I really dislike this coach
All DNP candidates also Jalen brunson is horrible on defense. Toppins did that last year and Thibs called him up and gave him nothing but DNP's. The problem is Thibs
Thobs is sucks old coach
Towns is one of the worst defenders he mostly doesn’t even move toward a player who’s coming toward the basket.
Younger players are usually willing to do the extra effort to show off their value, which is exactly what the Knicks need in some games.
We'll get Mitch back only for him to get injured again for another 9 months.
No secret just fire thibs so er can salvage the season
He has to definitely be talking about himself because he absolutely plays matador defense
They are not going to win when they shoot 12-42 from three
All this talk is just talk and that’s all. This garbage has gotten old a long long time ago. Tell Thibs that. Can’t stand his old stubborn ways.
They will figure it out when they fire tibs . They need a new vision tibs is old school and the game has passed him by. I put tibs and the same level as Boone for the Yankees . We are not going win anything until we have changes at the top !!!!
Knicks always play better after the holidays.
Tibbs makes me sick with no playing more minutes for the you guys. He's going to burn out the starting five stubbornness, which is really, really a bad thing with him. I'm not to let up on this point. Tibbs clueless leon what the heck Tibbs has never one a chip before so please leon do something.
lol Jacob was going off last year in the G-League he just can’t do it in the NBA. I’m ready to see what Okeke can do but we already know Thibs isn’t going to play any of them and another team is going to snatch him up lol.
We need that Defense like we had last season. The one that never backed down
With that said our coach will have e to get the rookies ready for game play during the season how else are they gonna get experience
OG can teach them
Why build a team if you're not going to use them SMFH!
You have NBA players with experience and an NBA coach with experience and yet you have pitiful defense. So what is it exactly, too small, too slow, lack of motivation. Are the problems fixable, then fix it.
Towns is right the Knicks are not there. They are not playing championship ball. They are not going to beat Boston, OKC, Cavs or even Dallas at the moment.
The interesting part is Toppin was known as a defensive player in college
Everybody layed off Thibs last season as the Knicks started to win. The problem is more than just the coach, it's about the new players on the roster. This team needs to get healthy if that ever happens and then we might see the team gel like last season. The Atlanta game was a tough one to watch. I was working that night but after checking bleacher report and seeing that they lost, I didn't watch the replay. Losing to the Hawks and getting eliminated from the Emirates NBACup semi-finals really rubbed me in a bad way. Two games left against the Hawks this season and I'm hoping the Knicks will destroy them in both those remaining games. Let's go Knicks!
Jericho Sims has regressed and has zero confidence. There is a reason why Bridges has been traded twice; low basketball IQ. Hart is awesome but continues to have lapses and, at times, seems out of position.
