So interesting that this poorly hosted show gets such good guests
Knicks don’t going to be in the finals with that roster especially with a trash bench
Cut KAT minutes
Knicks can’t win, and I am a life long fan.
Towns is aft and he’ a spoiled brat.
If KAT locks in we can. But the if is scary. At that $ point can't really be an if can it?
The knicks bias is insane here they’re not a championship team defensively they’re awful and KAT looks like he isn’t the most engaged that team is maybe a 2nd round team at the absolute best
Monica, you know their defense is not gonna be good in the playoffs. KAT gotta go. No way you can have him as your highest paid player
Jalen was out, had KAT there and they still gave up 126 to the warriors….
Knick will not win with Jalen Bronson as the main , he doesn't get other guys in involved and that's causing a problem, the starting 5 as break up , Jalen Bronson, Anthony Town and someone else for Giannis if he can't do this fired him because he had so much drafts picks and wasted it all for nothing.
Towns never played with a good point guard so he looks like he's no good, When Jalen Bronson on the floor the ball doesn't move so the player stand there looking like they are in a strange land ,
