I swear the refs take there sweet ass time when other teams are trying to challenge vs us lol

[mpharris36]

hart overhelps like an idiot 90% of the time

like deuce has IQ 1 on 1 live with that

why overhelp?

[Iron Mantis]

Defense is trash.

Need another long defensive wing.

Towns standing in the paint looking at everyone like he not the big man. This dude is clearly done in NYC. Spam pick and roll with him guarding the back end easy 2 points off the roll.

[WaltFrazier]

You can just see where the defense misses OG. But then Poeltl and RJ are out

[sol537]

KAT sucks

[Buttah304]

Towns with 0 rebounds, can’t shoot anymore, could never defend and he’s not even getting the ball where he should be most effective. We can’t hold a lead because he’s utterly lost

[Iron Mantis]

If KAT isn't even going to score OR rebound this game just sit him and bring in Huk.

[TKKnicks1]

The Knicks have to be looking at suitors for KAT. It's clear as day this guy is not the one to take us to the parade. I hope we get some good value for him at the deadline.

[kNicksGmen]

gotta love (hate) basketball sometimes. blowing a 24 point lead in less than a quarter. 41 in the 1st followed up by 18 in the 2nd. unreal.

usually it's good etiquette by the refs if they know it's questionable to give some time for the coach to decide.

I want to see on and off with Towns sitting. Brunson is trying very hard on defense this year. Towns has no excuse.

KAT is a net 0 playing with starters while Mitch is +7, and we’re up 7 so that pretty much says it all.

[Muskies97]

I feel like there are waaay more big mobile forwards in the NBA now compared to the late 2010's that are capable of guarding Towns. Like the defensive coverage just got way better and he doesn't have the fluidity or lower body strength to adjust to those matchups. I knew it was over when AJ Green switched onto him in that Milwaukee game lol, they had zero respect for Towns

For the year. I feel like lately we can’t play consistent defense with him in the game.

[WaltFrazier]

Either Kat has a bounce back half or we lose here

last time i checked on the year towns was one of the best players in plus minus - only behind OG.

but I imagine that has come down these past few games

[Capn'O]

What a quarter!

I will say that second quarter left some things to be desired.

[F N 11]

Donte/Mcdaniels/ Reid for Towns you got a deal. We may have to take the build around Brunson route all in. Towns was a step to up the talent on the team but we need a better player or multiple starters that can help.

[NYKnickerbocker]

KAT has turned into Jared Jeffries around the hoop
