Knicks Catch A New Year’s Beatdown By The Hawks | Post Game Reactions! | EP 674
Knicks Catch A New Year’s Beatdown By The Hawks | Post Game Reactions! | EP 674. The New York Knicks open 2026 with a frustrating 111–99 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, and Knicks Nation is heated. On this episode of Knicks Post Game Live, CP, CK2K, and the KFTV crew break down a night defined by poor shooting, questionable shot selection, defensive lapses, and missed opportunities.
Without Karl-Anthony Towns, Mitchell Robinson, and Josh Hart, the Knicks struggled to score inside, leaned far too heavily on the three-point shot, and failed to protect the paint. Despite winning the rebounding battle, New York shot just 37% from the field and 21% from three, leading to another disappointing home loss.
We dive into:
Why the Knicks’ shot selection spiraled out of control
The impact of missing Towns’ offensive gravity
Ongoing defensive concerns and transition breakdowns
OG Anunoby’s shooting slump
The growing need for center depth
Live fan calls, reactions, and watch party vibes

Bridges did nothing until the 4th. Quarter.
OG couldn't hit a shot. But at least he was aggressive.
Disgusting performance!!!!! Said the night owl 🌙 🦉!😮😢😮
They still can’t guard the 3. They won’t win a title until they can.
Not surprising. If this team cant hit outside shots, they cant count on their defense to keep them in games. Keep shooting 3s instead of attacking the paint seems to be a common issue with this team.
yabu terrible on defense bad rebounder looks slow kings want offense over defense precious 🙏 achiawa🙏
We playing back to back,! Then on the 5th we play DET,
We need everyone in one accord for that game
🫡 This game was awesome…if you’re a Hawks fan! Pity to the working Joe who took his kid and blew serious money to see this slop. Turnovers dug a hole. The poor shooting put the dirt over the grave. 3-Point shooting was atrocious: Bridges 3-11, McBride 3-10, etc.
Next season the Atlanta Hawks are gonna be scary. At the end of this season, Porzingis’ final pay cheque $30M is off the books. If the Hawks can move Trae Young before he exercises his player option, that’s an additional $45-48M off the books as well. Young nucleus, cap space, and New Orleans’ unprotected first rounder.
Knicks GOTTA go for the Chip now.
You guys need a wing and a center if new york doesn't make any moves , you guys will heart break beginning of May
Im not sure if we chalk this up to injuries and an off night, this was really a test of our depth, and we failed. We need another player to play defense off the bench. A big 3 or a 4, someone long and athletic. A 7th man if you will. There were a whole lot of rebounds out tonight. A whole lot of second chance opportunities injured tonight. It looked awful but I think its more of a fluke night shooting combined with over 50% of team rebounds on the bench. Hopefully thats not a sign of things to come 🤞🏻
Was this just a bad shooting night… or a real problem without Towns & Mitch?
