Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns try to explain Knicks’ abysmal Game 3 loss to Boston
There are 20 or 40 from three and so on. There’s not a lot I could say it’s a lot that we need to
discuss tomorrow and figure out, but me play with more of a sense of
urgency. Josh. I don’t think we. came with the mindset of being satisfied, but I think it
was just Subconsciously satisfied being up 2-0 but it’s not that we need her purse
again. Jill, and you’ve talked about
how your mentality when dealing with social media, and then
external factors is to flush it away, flush it and kind of ignore the noise. How do
you flush this win away? So, to speak,
would also remember and learn from the
mistakes that were committed or actually the flush
social media or the game. Okay. It’s not really a flush
situation. You gotta learn from it. I mean,
obviously, it’s not a game where we did a lot of
things particularly, well, but we got to learn from it. It’s
not something we can just flush. Jaden, you were caught in a lot
of switches in the post on Al and Jalen schematically in from an
execution standpoint. What did you see from the deep incident from our defense not covering three point line?
Well, find myself in situations were among guys, obviously in the
post but I’ma put up a fight regardless and Just forced tough contested twos, when I’m in a position like
that. So, but we need to go to sleep on a little better. Jalen. Obviously we don’t know
what specifically covered you guys are supposed to be in a
certain place. Defensive what it felt like, there was a lack
of communication more so tonight than other nights. Would
you chalk that up to some of the kind of miscues on that end from
you guys? Yeah, it’s definitely a part of
it. I think that falls under the
same umbrella. It’s like the urgency part. We need to have that on Monday more specifically. What would
you think of your guys especially during the first
half? Obviously they’re going to shoot the
threes, however they get them. So fortunate enough for us that
they were missing games one and two tonight, they made them. When it comes there are picking.
Oh dear friends. We’re going to have our
coverages. We’re going to stick to what we do. We’re going
to adjust when we need to adjust. But everything that we
that we need to do, has to be done with more intensity more
than see more Force. It’s just from that standpoint. That
it’s not anything schematically. Is more like, do we want it? And tonight, obviously, it
wasn’t the answer. You encouraged. It’s a tough position to be in
especially mentally now but you got to encourage
they were going to have each other’s back regardless and so
on. No matter what happens. It’s
we’re going to go, we’re going to together. We’re gonna go
through that together Channel. This is the third game
in a row where you guys have been down. Big obviously the
comeback in that it’s not just are you seeing any Common Thread
and how they’re building? These leads are how
you guys are falling behind that? You asked
him to dress for the game? Yeah the first half needs to be a lot better. Cannot put catch
up with the team with this. Consistently. Sorry. I mean, regardless, it’s hard to
do but For us as a team. We do want to
be in that position at all. So we just got to be better when it
comes to starting games and make a showing on that
position. I want to say this is our First law. So it wasn’t what a one-possession game. So I don’t think it’s just
you’re not playing well here, this is obviously our home the best place to play. But um, Justin, I just wasn’t there. Suppose that you spoke about defending the
three-point line better. This is the first time in the series
where Boston is shooting at that type of clip from Deep when
they’re shooting 50%. How much more difficult is it for
that perimeter defense to get where you want it to be? I mean, you can’t give them the
Rhythm. We let them get in the Rhythm
walk into threes early. And so, I mean, when you’re given a team
like that the green light, it’s just it’s
hard to stop them. So from the jump and now we got to be a
little more intense. It’s on the front side of the ball. The team that the defending
champs, obviously when you beat Detroit you said this is a different challenge is
there just for you all given the way the regular season
played out the style, they play the skill they have, do you guys have the less margin
for error than they do fundamentally in a series? Like
this, just the nature of The Comebacks and needing them and
20-point deficit tonight. Is it just too much too kind of fall
behind by that much and then have that happen
repeatedly? I mean yeah, I’m a gets any NBA team,
really, it’s tough for come back to happen around the league. Yes, they’re a great team. They
have the experience. As the defending champs, they have
all that. I just don’t think we want to be
in the whole 20-point whole each game. It’s not going to
suit us. Well, Learn from today. Learn from
Games, 1 through 3, especially today and then Just come out with some
emergency. Be ready to go on Monday. What did you see tonight from the perimeter defense? That might have been different from
the first two days. It seemed like they were able to get
going. You know, it’s not just pruner
it’s all of us. You know, it’s a team game and you know, Perimeter back line for me. My job. It’s
we just didn’t do enough today. To like I said, execution Lena,
execute a level. Like I told y’all we needed an excuse
to win tonight kind of Champions for a reason
so they show their metal tonight. It’s going to be
as you say you knew they’re going to come out with
intensities depending chance we all do and hang out and so and it’s about Joshua. We just didn’t execute at a
higher level, you know, some things sometimes you always say,
you know, you’re not making shots so that’s how
they’re up. But we just made it a game too many
good looks. And, you know, they capitalize on it and it just didn’t do enough to put ourselves in a position to
win tonight. Calling you as a, one-year Road
games, but disappointing, to be one of
three at home in the blouse. I mean, it’s disappointing to
lose in general and he doesn’t matter because obviously you want to find your
fans but But you know, regardless wherever we could get
a win, will take, you know, take those W’s. Just just in, do enough time to come
up with call? We can you guys find that urgency from the jump
rather than you guys find yourself at a big hole? It’s time to play. Awesome. We all got to walk. You take a s*** out of something to tell you. that will not when we’re down to money was
tied up with a Common Thread it going behind
20, like you mentioned Just not executing, you know
enough. I know, I know I must say the word and I’m going to
get tired of hearing me say, but it’s true. The team that executes the
final, the most, for the longest duration of
time, you know, usually ends up winning in the playoffs and we
just we just didn’t execute enough early on to, we gave them
confidence, say sorry, in some shots and just unfortunately couldn’t
match up with with their offensive Firepower at the time so they put us. Enough and a whole
and we just never found ourselves like usually getting out of the
20 point Poland and finding a way to tie the game when the
game we just gonna do that tonight. I told you last time we
can afford to keep doing that type of game. We’re gonna
you know, it’s gonna it’s gonna cost us. I know you are your hand, was that a re-injury from
something? You know, it is what it is. It is what it is. So I just want to do whatever I can
to be out there for lip readers on Twitter were
saying thought you said you broke something. But it is what it is. I’m going to keep finding a way
to play. So I ain’t trippin. Did you get an x-ray or
anything? I’m alive. Don’t tell you, that happens in this locker room.
Stays in the locker room.
Knicks captain Jalen Brunson thought the Knicks were “subconsciously satisfied” up two games to none in their series with Boston. Not seemingly playing with a sense of urgency, New York had no answers in their 115-93 loss. Karl-Anthony Towns pointed to a lack of execution and mentioned that the Celtics “are defending champs for a reason.”

If we go back to Boston 2-2 we might as well start getting ready for next season
we all know boston is the champion and the better team– it will come down to whether knicks can somehow pull out 2 more the way they did
Celtics should be up 3-0 in this series
"Play with a more sense of urgency" smh in the playoffs against the defending champs, up 2-0 at home, you don't have fire? smh they will never win a championship with that mentality. Unbelievable
Kat is trash
How can you guys not think Celtics weren’t going to come out shooting the 3 again it’s there game 🙄🙄 we need to defend and lock in man , bridges needs more shots!! We better guard up or we’re going to get buried by the 3 ball
Same trend as games 1 and 2 only no miracle comeback. The champs are the champs for a reason.
Celtics in 6
Yall acting like were not up a game on Boston. Even yall " knicks in 5" dudes … to beat them in 5… we have to lose a game…yall relax..its 1 game. They won the game that even yall thought theyd win. Yall sounding weak in these comments. We only need 2 more wins…WE BUILT FOR THIS 🟠🔵🗽💯
Bum ass Knicks prove how trash the coaching is and fluke ass players are on prime time tv play defense and score like you want to soft fucks
I love the New York Knicks
I don’t get how you can’t play with urgency when you’re 2-0 against the champs in the playoffs. It feels like this team isn’t quite ready for the big moments. I would love to see my Knicks win this series but they can’t play like this against the Celtics. It’s unacceptable.
Knicks lucky could be down 3-0 one possession at a time
They dig a hole every game even the first 2 games they won but stil were in a 20pt deficit that crap has to stop
Whe need Kevin Durant
KAT is not a Center, he needs a defensive big next to him always. Thibs needs to expand his bench. Why hasn’t Mitch improved in FT shooting? Knicks never developed him.. smh
Stop double teaming on defense, cause they’re leaving people wide open for 3 point shots
Cbrobe has play more to win. Payne should be in
Mcribe has play more. Honestly
Btw eolves won. If they win that series knicks loose towns trade was a bad trade. Correct
Watch west coast game. Wolves against golden state much better
I’d love to lock this Knicks team in a room and make them watch old footage of the ’70 and ’73 squads—just so they can see how real ball movement looks. Those teams passed, shared, and created smart shots. Today’s squad is stuck in iso mode . No flow, no rhythm—just frustration. No offensive continuity. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Period.
Brunson & the Knicks needs to get OG more touches, only 6 shot attempts is ridiculous. No excuses on not playing good defense from jump ball until the 4th qt. Plus, gotta move the ball more on offense , all that dribbling is ridiculous behind the 3 pt line.
Btw Brunson was awful period. Bring on kid that sub in gor. Mcribe has play. Play other guys thibbs. Towns broke his thumb
Pj tucker needed to play. Guy sub in gor Brunson when he was hurt. Precious should play. Along w mcribe a needs more time. He often gets timley basket. Who btw gone next year. In a trade so enjoy him now along w mitch. Get rid of og. F ok r a better player. 76 are looking trade. There guys
I think this shouldn't been happening Boston should be 3-0 instead of 2-1
KATs answers are wack. we didn’t execute well .. yeah we know. we saw the blowout. some insight would be cool
This is what happens when you only feed your wings the ball 16 times and allow a bencher like Pritchard to light it up with 23 which was one more point than the entire Knicks bench!!!! Game 4 is a must win period!!!
I don't want the Knicks going out like the Yankees did. We started this game with no sense of urgency. If KAT stop falling and go to the basket with authority…this might have a different outcome.🤬
If they know what they need to do so why dont they do it ?
“Sense of urgency” my ass. Y’all played LAZY basketball last night. Y’all already know the Celtics get their points just by shooting 3s, but there was “NO SENSE OF URGENCY” in playing D. Plus, those careless pass. Turnovers. Mitch robinson’s free throw shooting. Kat being a super soft big omg that dude doesn’t really play like a big.
Damm they are leaving everything on brunson and Josh Mikal… Og and towns need to wake up and smell the coffee this is a playoff not the regular season. Town is not even the players he is on regular season.
I’m not worried! We knew Boston was going to win a game, it’s just by margin they won that bothers me. The Knicks were completely out of it! Boston was desperate, otherwise they would have been in big trouble. Knicks in 6. Knicks will win the next game.
