Dear Karl Towns,

Find a middle ground between being totally non-existent, and pulling a 30 footer early in the shot clock.

Lot of things looks easy for Indiana.

Knicks struggles and has work really hard.

Towns is suchhhh a low IQ basketball player. What did Calipari teach all of these one and done players?

New York looks exhausted. This is why Thib's teams will never get there. ****'s unsustainable.

TJ is getting too many easy shots/good looks in the paint. Not good enough defence from the Knicks

This is looking like a sweep. Bridges has turned back into a pumpkin and Towns is too soft.

Deuce having 3 fouls made thibs throw this weird lineup, but at this point you need to let him play with 3. He can sit at the end of the game. IMO the foul trouble threshold should be +1 for guys that don’t finish games or play less minutes

TJ is too fast for the guys guarding him on the floor right now. Wright can't guard TJ. Never had. Shameet is a disaster on defense. They gotta put Hart on TJ to have a better chance.

Calipari is truly a terrible coach. He had a big bank roll backing him and the dude sells himself to the players somehow, but when it comes to actual coaching, he’s awful.

Knicks have to get rid of Towns. His decision making is sub par.
