So Thibs is using him as a 50 million dollar floor spacer so his favorite player Josh Hart can stay on the floor to run around and ****.

Thibs, why did you leave the starters in there so long? "I was searching".

Searching. *Deep breath*

Fun fact-the starters have been a negative this whole series. The only lineup that's been a positive is any combination with Mitch and Duece with the non Josh starters. And this organization has one of the most advanced analytics team in the league.

Like Kat said, these are coaching decisions. If he's fired, it's because the top brass have come to him, shown him what's missing, and he still refuses to budge, because I don't want to believe that nobody else sees how this coach is utilizing this roster that they have created.

I will put ANYTHING on the line and bet that just putting in Delon Wright, somebody who can look at a 7 foot lumbering old center in the eye and take him to the rack, in place of Josh would unlock this team to another level. Giannis lmao. We don't need trades, we need to put the square pegs in square holes, not the round ones.

Looking forward to Dikembe Kornet manning the paint freely next game. :roll:

I agree with most of what you wrote. I dont think Kornet will be going off next game though :lol:


I'd bet every hair on my ass they make it a focal point to go at him and get him in foul trouble, you know that scrub will be aggressive trying to play over his head, my boy the corleys made his triumphant return into "the narratives have begun" thread, check it out it's some good stuff :lol:

KAT picks up stupid fouls by shoving people unnecessarily and responds to the foul trouble by playing no defense at all. Then he has an overly dramatic, confused reaction to his plight. Someone needs to address him in the film room in front of the team. Fantastic player with a pea brain.

Said the the same after Game 4. Someone needs to tell Karl to chill tf out and keep his head together.

Be like Brunson. He doesn't get too high, too low.

It seems like you’re not the only one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jhart called him out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Josh is right. The way we play doesn't do much to generate shots for him. He should be taking way more 3PAs

The only story will be the Knicks getting blown out, unfortunately, as Thibs fails to adjust to another 3 point barrage.

it's everybody's fault but kat again

he has been in the playoffs the last 4 years. these are the 3s he took
3.7 a game
4.8
5.2
3.5 this year. so not much different.

overall fga
13.3
14.0
14.5
14.8 so pretty much what he usually takes

i guess the wolves didn't look for him either

eveybody wants him to play like porzingis but he's actually not that kind of shooter. kp gets his shot off quick. you give him a split second of daylight and it goes up. kat has a slow release and he's almost flat footed when he shoots the 3. he needs time to get it off. it's not easy to get him enough time to shoot.

The Timberwolves tried to use him like KP against Dallas and he had a historic brick fest :lol: I’m glad the Knicks are actually trying to use him like a big man. It’s just that KAT plays soft so he can’t handle posting up smaller players.
