Warriors fan here. I come in peace. I've been curious about how Brown's offense would fare for the Knicks. As an outsider, I've thought that the Knicks could use more layers to their offense and more spontaneity. I thought Towns could really look good in this offense as a playmaker, given what Brown got out of Sabonis and a heavy diet of DHO's in Sacramento.
During training camp, I saw KAT's quotes about not really knowing what the Knicks' offense was supposed to be. This was, I thought, a bad omen.
I caught some of Sunday night's game against the Heat and most of the third and fourth quarters of tonight's game. I've been shocked by how bad KAT looks. I really thought his passing skills would play well in Brown's system, but yikes. To my eye, it looks like KAT is dragging the offense to a slow crawl in the halfcourt when gets the ball. It looks like he's rushing shots when he feels like he hasn't shot the ball in a few possessions. The offense has looked smoothest, to me, with KAT off of the floor, or KAT screening and spacing the floor but not... actually touching the ball.
I've seen KAT meltdowns dating back to his Minnesota days, most notably, the 2022 play-in game where he had one of the most disastrous stretches of turnovers, baffling fouls, and stubborn post-up attempts that I've ever seen. I guess I thought KAT would grow out of these spastic, emotionally unregulated stretches of basketball, but at this point, he's nearly 30, and he's still committing Russell Westbrook-level meltdowns.
I'm curious if people think I'm being unfair or if KAT-skepticism is a commonly-held feeling around these parts. I'd like the Knicks to go far in the east. KAT seems to me like an active deterrent to that goal.
