Knicks are cooked!
KAT's effort is always there, the discipline to avoid fouls is not. as for the constant falling down, he needs to get shots that aren't that. he is talented enough to score with post ups and fadeway jumpers, especially since he can pass well.
Is Walt F still broadcasting for NYK?
This is NOT a roster equipped for heavy 3P volume. What do we not understand about this? They’re a slow team, which means more threes = long rebounds = worse transition defense oops for a slow (and not long) team already. Everybody hated Thibs, yet Thibs coached this team the only way the personnel demanded it needed to be coached (slower, half court, grinding it out, etc.).
Knicks can NOT win a title as presently constructed. Most people knew this at the start of the season unless you were a homer.. They need to revisit the Giannis trade badly. He will help immensely with their defense and unlike KAT Giannis is a Dog.. Try to get a 3rd team involved for draft picks the Bucks will accept..
Mike Brown has to go this month
Evan is awful
We’re NOT a chip team, make a trade
We can’t compete with West specifically with no defense smh
This guy’s gotta get a better name. You can’t be going by CP in the year 2026
You can only trade KAT if it gets us Giannis or we get 2 SOLID starters, like a starting big man and a young wing with potential..
How you feel like the players quit on the coach… And only feel it's a five or six… S*** don't make no sense
So it seems like Brunson have to sacrifice and make Karl Anthony Town job easier. The team also have to make sure Towns don’t get bullied by other players cause Towns is soft. Also the coach have to protect Towns from the media and the Refs. Is Towns the problem
Teams have figured the Knicks. Put Brunson and Kat on the PNR and you have an easy offense. They want to increase the pace which results to turnovers , easy transition buckets and defense not set.
That ain't Chris Paul
Lol only people didnt see this coming were the knicks…Im sure Mike is a cool guy but he was never the answer for New York.
this standing format sucks, goodbye
Does anyone in these comments actually think they'd be going through these questions of effort and chemistry under Thibs? Dont think so.
I would trade Bridges/ Yabusele to New Orleans for Saddiq Bey and Jose Alvarado and some capital
Must win against the Nets. In January. Great times.
Why do they stand now
The Cup , the Cup. Are they talking about the Knicks or the Rangers? Lol
Nah, this isn’t going to be some miracle run b cause they have all star break to relax. That’s nonsensical.
Time to blow it up and rebuild.
Knicks players behaving like premadonnas. They didnt want Tibs now they dont want Mike Brown? Stop it the foolishness. You're getting millions for your job😮
KAT is the kincks best player, and the team and the coaching staff aren’t giving him the respect he deserves. KAT don’t know his role is crazy.. Brunson continues to dominate the ball taking 20 plus shots a game and it’s killing the chemistry it’s obvious the whole team is struggling. Mike Brown is overrated as well only black coach that gets fired everywhere he’s been and still get coveted HC jobs..
Who?
Trade Brunson watch they roll
Give Mike brown time and trade kat bro. It’s his effort. It’s contagious.
I’m glad Evan and his son were at that game 😊
CP guy gotta chill he isnt in the locker room. Always complaining.
