Im just saying he playing mean/ tougher, no offense at all to bodega kat
Speaking of which, why did people call him soft? Is it because of the way he talked or his voice? I actually don’t see anything wrong at all, and dood plays tough on both ends of the floor

This is Josh Hart
This is Josh Hart consistently putting up stats like this.
The gravity of kat and Brunson to open up his game like this is something I wasn't expecting at all.
You 5 out freaks really were on it. Have 6'4" jHart running around like a mythical creature. Putting up wemby stats in the paint.

Precious gone get his minutes, especially in lineups with smaller bigs. We needed him, and he’s showing up just in a nick of time.
This is a culmination of everything Ive been hoping would happen over the last two years. 3 of the 5 guys I talked about the most are Knicks now and its coming together even better than I imagined. When Precious came in in the 3Q they went to a switch everything defense and shut the Hornets down 38-16.
The Hornets played hard but when we switched everything in the 3Q they couldn't do anything. Precious is going to help team defense in more ways than I thought.

I think that the stat is overinflated too.
I get the Knicks are leading the league in ppg scored because they are shooting a very high % from 3 and the FT line, that their offense is very efficient. But the pace can't be that REALISTICALLY slow if they are scoring this much.
It's talked about like Pistons era Chuck Daly, Knicks era Pat Riley, or Cavs era Fratello are coaching and the Knicks are constantly running 18 seconds off the shot clock, then getting into their play.
Sure, it's the slowest, but we are taking about seconds of difference. Like the Knicks lead the league in scoring but I bet 3 points separates 15 teams. And I get it matters, but the Knicks push the ball off misses enough, they opportunistically fast break.
The Knicks also don't just fly up and down the court and jack up ill advised 3s where their defense is completely unbalanced if there is a miss.
Sure, the Knicks pace is "slow", but it's not that slow. And they mostly disciplined.
I'd rather they play this way then what I've seen other teams play.
Ok, maybe they could push the pace more. But not that much.

Because of the 2nd Apron. It was either keeping KAT and lose all other players except Ant and Rudy, or trade KAT. Last year it was already clear that KAT had to go before the end of this season.
Great to see the love KAT is getting here though. Wolves fans on the GB were mocked for defending him at times likes these:
Or when tweets like these were put out by the Wolves-teams:
Also kinda misleading to read that some Knicks-fans think that any Wolves-FO or fan though Randle would be an upgrade over KAT. It was a cost-cutting trade, clear as day.
Anyway, I'm rooting for you guys to win the East.

Just a quick point of correction - the Knicks do not lead the league in points scored per game, they're actually 6th with 118.3 ppg. The offensive stat they lead the league in is Offensive Rating, which actually removes Pace as a factor in the evaluation of team scoring, and normalizes each teams production across a standard 100 possessions.
So the Knicks are the best in the league at what they get out of each possession, but they do not lead the league in actual scoring (CLE does with 122 ppg), because they play at one of the slower paces.

They could have dumped Gobert/other players though. They took the wrong path to cut costs IMO. I can't speak to what was available to them but, this trade hurts championship hopes just to save potential money in the future. What are they gonna do moving forward? You can't replace what KAT brings with Randle and he's due an extension soon. DDV was great for us as a starter but, his value as a bench player his whole career was not that high. I fail to see what Minnesota does moving forward to make sense of this trade. Not saying they can't figure something out but, Ant/KAT makes more sense to me than Ant/Gobert to build around.
Good luck moving forward but, I think this trade will hurt more than help you guys in the long run. If Ant man gets frustrated and wants to leave........
