Cap, Mikal and Josh will have to win this for us. KAT has nothing going for him.

Meanwhile in New York, the other Dallas fumble is balling out...

Sims in the game, so much for being traded... so much for Huk playing

Is KAT just tired or something? He doesn't have the same intensity as we saw earlier in the season. If he can't make his threes then our offense is F'd.

KAT is basically playing with one hand...he use to gobble up every rebound he can snatch the ball like he use to.

Amen is going to be absolutely incredible. He’s getting a little loosey goosey with his dribble. Once his bag expands forget it.

Knicks are a team that has to play with a lead otherwise we will consistently be down by 7 all game, cut it to 4 late, and then someone will hit multiple timely 3s and our comeback falls short again. Will lead to a good regular season record and home court in the first round, but not sustainable if this happens in the playoffs.

TeamSims! We back!

Fighting but doesn't look good. Obviously being last in 3pt FG is a major problem lol.

Nonsense on teams figuring them out, 3 ball isn't falling tonight, if they were shooting 33% from 3(still abysmal) they would be up at half lol

He's a damn problem. He reminds me a bit of early Klaw.

who would have thought starting precious with hart

then playing Huk with precious wouldn't kill spacing...

What u talking about man some of these 3's are wide open

what 3's have been wide open

cam payne step back 3's?

Shamet probably got the only clean looks but everything else has been pretty well contested.

He's 13/15 were contested, they don't shoot this bad on any night

I like the fight to end the quarter. They need to match their intensity since they can't seem to take advantage of the skill difference. What exactly is the identity of this Knicks team?

STOP

I still think losing Hartenstein is most of it. Towns has really played admirably but maybe his defense is a fatal flaw, despite his hard work.

Not sure. But giving up tons of 3's and not being innovative is catching up to Thibs here.

TKKnicks1 · Post #238 » by **TKKnicks1** » Tue Feb 4, 2025 1:45 am

I was looking forward to KAT/Precious front court but it hasn't looked pretty. Precious is pretty much a non factor tonight and he can't guard his man.

He's a mix of Ron Artest, Kawhi and has a Derrick Rose explosive athleticism

Yup I think so. He looks worn down.
