Are The Knicks REALLY Built For The Playoffs? | NY Got Game ft. Monica McNutt
Are the New York Knicks truly built for playoff basketball?

Game vs the Thunder was poorly refereed. 38 free throws to 17 is too blatant. You blow on SGA and the whistle blows while KAT gets mugged almost every time he touches the ball.
Knicks are inconsistent and can’t beat the elite teams, especially OKC and Pistons!
The Knicks have some very good players, good players, and ok players! But all together they’re not a very good team for the playoffs! The reason… THEIR COACH!!! Their coach is not a New York City playoff battle tested or even NYC playoff coached team! Mike Brown doesn’t give the impression that he playoff winning coaching strategy. And the coaching vs really really good NBA has been really really bad…. AND I TH😢THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH MIKE BROWN IS HOW HE COACHES KAT!!! The coach doesn’t seem to know that he needs a really ready KAT in the playoffs because those playoff opponents are GOING TO BE HOUNDING AND SWARMING JALEN BRUNSON!! And we already know what happens to the Knicks when Brunson is heavily pressured, WE LOSE!!!
I don’t trust Mike Brown to give a winning playoff formula for the upcoming coming playoffs. Unfortunately I see us not going past the 1st round and if LUCKY not going past the 2nd round…..
Salute! Knicks are most def built for playoffs, but not ready to win it all. If Mo Diawara was a little further along, I'd be more confident. It would seem the Villanova boys aren't ready to trust Karl, and I'm not certain Coach Brown is in charge of the offense, let alone defense. We need another good player here. And Monica is a jewel in the MSG Crown… we finally got a good one.
Yes they are built for playoffs but not champions
The fact that we have to ask all these questions about the defense and offense and do not such great answers, is a clear sign that the Knicks are in trouble heading into the playoffs ..
