Let's hope Brown figures them out quicker than Thibs. I feel like that's the worse the Knicks will look against them.


It’s a tough matchup for us because they play physical defense and we struggle with that at times. Also they’re one of the teams the refs cheat for and let them hack all game long. So that’s what they need to adjust for, if possible


And they have several bigs to throw at Kat. It really is a tough matchup
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

WIN STREAK CONTINUES HERE!!!


Orlando and Detroit play way too physical and don’t get called for fouls
They injure players non stop

That tweet was 100% written by ChatGPT. It’s not x, it’s y is a telltale sign. I’m sure Sam Altman has been doing their train it out of the newer versions but it took forever to fix the dash thing and a lot of their images they generate have a yellow color to them.

jb coming back from injury so soon is a bad look for kat. he should be able to hold us down this early in the season


We were 1-1 in 2 games against Miami and lost a game at the buzzer with him out. And the Heat beat us even worse when Brunson played. So there’s not much we can say about that. Other than Brunson must be fine or I don’t think he’d be playing. He had 28 pts in his return and doesn’t look like he’s hobbling around
Right and an extra 2 games off probably won't hurt either.

I never want to be in agreement with these posts but I saw highlights of Magic dismantling the Clippers last night, they look strong. Even without Banchero. I know the Clippers aren't plying well but still. I'm worried

On top of the Clips not playing well, they are terrible this season.Orlando is good and a tough matchup....but if our offense is clicking early I favor our chances.

Physical is boxing out. Physical is not moving when someone tries to post you up. Physical is setting hard screens and not budging. Orlando (at least in the first game against the Knicks) was dirty/cheap, not physical. Almost every play, the refs COULD have called a foul on Orlando during the first game, that's dirty/cheap - but the Knicks will have to adjust.

Right but still....my expectation is that we should be able to outscore them as long as we play with aggression.

They play dirty. They get away with it for some reason. ORL/DET/MIA/CHI/PHI all play dirty. Pushing off. Moving/illegal screens. Purposely putting feet in the landing area. Lots of contact and no whistle.

To your point though, we need to just punch them in the mouth early and slug it out. We need a more physical/metal bats approach. We lost that with the KAT trade. I don't see the all grit no quit mentality we used to have.

From what we have seen so far Brown and his crew does a pretty decent job adjusting after a loss. Let's see what the game plan is.
Fire Thibs!
