If he keeps shooting 40% from 3, I don't care who his shooting coach is :dontknow:

Maybe Joel's scratch and sniff coach is available...

KAT has been a huge disaster on both ends. Doesn’t assert himself offensively and his defense is absolutely atrocious at the 5. It looks like we lost this trade badly.

Death, taxes, and the melo curse remaining undefeated :lol:

We do need Mitch & Precious back…even if Thibs teaches him to stop fouling…but gotta love your timing.

The offense we saw from Karl today, the way he imposed himself on bam with his size, and even some of his defensive plays…when he didn’t foul lol…it was a real big boy performance.

Thibs again grinding the starters to earth, 5 starters averaging 38min vs. Hawks in a losing effort?

Thibs shouldn't be allowed near a short-handed team. But, as usual, Knicks gonna Knick.

Knicks under Thibs always seem to start the season slowly, I think they should be fine but Brunson's form has been slightly worrying lately

Traded away the heart and soul of this team. 2nd round exit at best.

Randle 21/6/5, DDV 10/3/3 and hasn’t even started heating up

KAT 23/13/3 as the center

We could’ve kept the team mostly intact and had Randle at the 4 with Hukporti at the 5 until Mitch comes back. Hart and DDV off the bench. Could’ve maybe signed Russ. Oh well.

Would Randle have did better? Because the whispers prior to the trade were Randle was going to start at the 5. I doubt he would've.

It's not like if the Knicks do not make the KAT trade the Mitch and Precious are automatically healthy. Heck or even make Thibs trust Sims with anything outside of a limited role.

iHart left and Mitch is hurt. Precious as well, so they can't even experiment with him at the 5 and Towns at the 4.

I don't think it's all that surprising, but it needs to be solved.
