We need someone to help get KAT out of his funk. Cam and Deuce not playing well.

Rockets got some good individually talented players and play great team defense. Can't believe Udoka was available last year.

At least we know Sims getting traded or out of rotation. Get rid of anybody but the starters man I want a chip. We legit don’t have enough esp with Thibs coaching.

Felt like KAT never used to missed these shots in the paint, now he finishes like Precious Achiwua smh

Team isn't serious at all tonight....Houston sucking from 3 but still up 11...waste of a night watching this team

This will be a blowout loss with the reserves getting big burn as we save Brunson/Bridges/KAT for the Back2Back. Skid started 2 days ago. Mitch won't return for about a week. This squad...

PRecious-Hart-Bridges-Deuce-Brunson - very common

That's not going small, we have the personnel to go with Brunso, Deuce, Bridges, Hart and OG. Think back to the Thunder game when they pulled their center and the tallest player on the floor was 6'6".

When a team goes small against us, if we have KAT, we need to make sure he is getting FED. Provide spacing and make sure if we have a non-shooter (Hart) he is going to the dunkers spot. Should be a guaranteed bucket.

Game after game I find myself blaming only one person on this team….

Unfortunately this is the deepest Timmy will go into his bench.

That's what playing well in the Nets game, and rewarded with weeks of DNP-CDs... can do to you.

Thibs is "brining him along slowly".

It's much better for his development to rack up DNP'S for a couple of years instead of seeing if he can contribute now.

Towns hasn’t been the same since the thumb injury….

Uselesss cardio minutes for Shamet. Way to waste a spot waiting for this yokel to rehab Knicks

He should be resting. I hope he’s not thinking of playing in the ASG

the all star game is a glorified pickup game with less defense so i’m not too concerned there

The Knicks are probably the most streaky team in the league.

That is not how the game works anymore, the Thunder went small and we started posting him up and fell right into the trap. You need to get your big guy on the move when a team is small against you, we don't do that, we just feed the post like it's 1991.

Can Towns get a **** call?

Post #158 » by **mpharris36** » Tue Feb 4, 2025 1:23 am

they are switching everything

you think we would know to force Jalen Green on the KAT screens so they have to switch that and we will get a wide open shot but we haven't done that once.

You got a 7 foot 300+ pound house Kat out there with these skinny kids... Mike Sweetney would have been dunking the ball like he does his morning donuts.
