Knicks are better than Denver
can’t trust Kat, good person but
Lakeshow baby
KAT sucks
These minutes are insane to look at for the wrong reasons. Thibs is just asking for a poorly timed injury at this point.
Lakers
Not to mention he kept KAT in the game down 20 with 2 minutes to go… Reckless. "he said he was fine"… EVERY competitive player will say that. It's your job to see past that. Thibs is clueless.
Yeah turns out KAT can't play defence (like everyone knew already) and Bridges went from being a lock down defender in the Suns to a wannabe Durant mini me shooting 35% from three.
At the very least OG should make a difference in the playoffs.
If Blame Thibs you better Fire Leon Rose also at once
Did someone let Bill out from the garage ?
They are an injury away. Kind of like the ‘19 raptors and ‘21 bucks but contenders yea
They look run down compared to other teams.
This was obvious since the KAT trade but you were hyping them preseason for no reason lol
They are a dark horse for winning the Championship
Hate to hear it about my Knicks… The truth hurts.
Their bench is not good. Mitchell Robinson being back will help a ton but they made good decisions in order to get such a strong starting five.
Denver??? Thank you for overrating us Bill. We kinda suck 😢
Boston and Denver are the only two top teams this year that have had a sustained level of playoff success with their cores recently
Until otherwise shown, I don’t feel that OKC, NYC, and ESPECIALLY Cleveland are really all that. Good regular season teams but we’ll see what happens in the post season
They couldn't make a layup versus Cleveland
Knicks are pretenders.
guess KAT isn’t the savior anymore
Their offense is absolutely awful from a viewing perspective. I’ve probably seen around 15 Knicks games this year, and every single one is the same. Brunson step back, KAT fadeaway, or a 3 from someone else. I genuinely don’t think I’ve seen them run an actual play with off ball movement.
As a Knicks fan.. they can score on anybody. But the defense at the rim has been atrocious. They miss Mitchell Robinson and his elite rim protection and offensive rebounding badly. And thibs never learns with the minutes thing. Ever. But they’ll never win anything if they let the Luke Kornet’s of the world get 8 points off putbacks in 5 mins like that second quarter
I think celts/ okc/ Cleveland/ lakers/ nuggets are the only contenders . I know how bad thin the lakers are but those two big brains in LeBron and Luka I think crack them into the contenders .
Bucks>Knicks
When it comes to minutes, thibs has always been a moron
They need to fire thibs
Denver get handled by the Knicks all the time it’s really only Celtics okc and Cavs
