here's my take: give kat the ihart dropoff touches and he can give you at least twice the return ihart did in that role. he's not quite as good a defender, but he's no slouch on the boards, and he's 10 times the offensive player. when ihart was here we trusted him with the ball often and early in possessions which allowed brunson to relocate off ball. like literally let kat do that you saw him on his magic johnson against the pistons let's **** go already

Loss. Pack of pretenders.

Not good news. Looks like we do need a rim protector. One who is not ALWAYS injured.

Rebound is not all there is to Defense. Remember Enes Kanter?

KAY is an awful rim protector… awful. Unless he gets better, our window is looking great

The Timberwolves knew this and that’s why they paid a premium for Gobert.

This should be a blow out win. Boston blew them out without Jaylen Brown and had a g leaguer starting at C for them. Hawks are awful

Knicks suck. Who cares.

If Brunson keeps playing this selfish style of basketball, I'm going to change my name to 3totheheadBrunson.

I love JB, though. He's a cerebral guy and self aware, but he's also a competitive as hell and man, he's been getting the defensive treatment this year, a lot of guys locking in on him to not get done, and he's taking it personal and gets tunnel vision trying to put it on his match up. I don't blame him one bit though, because he's shown he can get KAT and others the ball...it's all on stupid ass Thibs to reign him in a little.

Also, I had no idea how much Brunson is hated now around the league by fans because of the way he plays.

KAT will lock down the paint and Knicks win in a defensive battle.
