The Knicks Thread....

[Jeffx]

Last night at home against Detroit was sickening.....KAT couldn't guard a fire hydrant. Tired of seeing him get abused time and time again. And why didn't Mike Brown establish KAT (offensively) early in the game? Third time the Knicks got punked by this team. Pistons are better and tougher.

I think you have to take minutes away from KAT in the 2nd and 3rd if hes not putting in the effort on D, Bridges wasnt much better last night considering his defence is usually solid.

I think with having a healthy Mitch, Mo and Jeremy there is no reason why you let players like Reed Touch you

[Jeffx]

Having KAT & Brunson on the court together really compromises the 'D'. Can't have OG & Mitch getting in foul trouble because the two main offensive stars can't pull their weight on the defensive end. I don't know how Brown coaches around that.

Despite this, I still think the Knicks can defeat Boston & Cleveland in the spring. But I'm not confident in a series against the more physical Pistons, who have NY's number.

Kolek's been assigned to the D league.

Jose has taken his minutes but the question is Miles out from the knicks for good now? I could see him traded in the summer and also I love Jeremy on defence but hes giving me proper Jared Jeffries vibes out there

THIS is what I'm talking about, folks. If the Knicks can bottle yesterday's defensive performance against the Spurs and give it consistently when the real season starts next month, we could have one of those memorable springs like we did during the 70s & the 90s. For all the times I slammed KAT, I'm praising his effort yesterday. And all these younger Knicks fans on social media who were triggered by Shaq & Sir Charles' comments need to pipe down and grow a pair. Those two were on point. KAT has to find his inner Shaq if this team has championship aspirations - take advantage of mismatches and terrorize the paint. Demand the ball if Brunson starts with the iso crap.
