And I was hassled by Knicks fans before the season started when I said Tatum can defend Towns.

Celtics never dominated the Knicks like this, in the paint, when they had Julius Randle.

Let's not forget that the Towns acquisition also resulted in the exit of Hartenstein.

Knicks trading defense and rebounding for offense is a downgrade.

You do know KP always shows up in MSG.

Knicks not on our level, OG or no.

That's because KP demands the ball. And it will be less ball moments since there are more mouths to feed..


Yup! He becomes too much of a focal point. He needs to be brought on in spurts when things get stagnant.


He’s very skilled and I don’t mind going to him but in moderation. But he’s not a good passer and can’t stand how soft he is

I feel KP is playing great but the giving him the ball in the post or looking for him to shoot threes off pick and roll has been forced. Our guys stand around way too much when he’s in the game most notably Tatum, white, and holiday. It worked last season during the regular season so I don’t see why it can’t be fixed.

KAT is hilariously soft.

Tatum was abusing him all game on both ends
