The thing with Towns is that it's so obvious that there's a way to use him and be significantly better/more dangerous than the team was last year - there is nothing surprising about what KAT does on nights like tonight; he is a guy who is historically efficient for nearly a decade in the NBA now. He has the 8th highest TS% of any player in the history of basketball. When you look at only guys who are primary scorers (let's say 20 PPG types), he is 3rd all-time. It goes Jokic, Steph, KAT. We're talking HOF, best of the best offensive efficiency. He's close to a 50/40/90 guy at 7 feet tall.

His defense obviously leaves a lot to be desired, but if you bring this type of historically efficient offensive player into an already established team structure and hierarchy, led by a defense-scheming-and-obsessed head coach who has two of the best wing defenders in the starting lineup and other defensive pieces, there's no need to have KAT's defensive deficiencies be crippling. The man was not brought in to be a multi-dimensional savior and centerpiece, he was brought in to be the historically efficient 7 foot scorer that he's always been. 

If you can't figure out how to properly integrate a level of elite offense that puts him amongst the all-time greats, you should be fired. If you can't figure out how to properly cover for that level of poor defense when you have already established pieces AND you're a defensive wizard coach, you should be fired. 

Thibs has been handed the keys to a Ferrari. If he tries to use it as a minivan around town, shaking his head about gas mileage and a lack of trunk space, take the keys back and find someone who knows what a Ferrari is, budgets for fuel, and opens that monster up on the f*cking highway. I mean DAMN, it's all right there in black and white. Tighten this isht up or get out the way, man.

Any other incompetent coaches the Knicks can play? This proves nothing.

Bucks looked tired and sloppy, we took advantage.

Brunson did a solid job of keeping the ball moving and that is the domino that needs to fall first for us to get 30+ team assists.

Great to see Kolek play some good minutes again.

These guys weren't doing this for real, they were just predicting the outcome of the game.

Maybe the Bucks will hire Steve Nash after Doc?
