You have to live with the KP post ups, it's better than them shooting threes.

everyone on here thought if we got a center who could shoots 3s it would solve everything. they forgot all about the other side of the court. what do you expect, these same people thought rj was the future.

Marc stein said rival teams think we acquired KAT to trade him for Giannis. We have a chance.

You have to show up though, you have to get some wins, and you have to be a threat. The Knicks are getting victimized every time they play at top eastern team and that is just horrible for confidence. This has to change. They need to do some damage in this game.

We are a bit soft with KAT at center. It changes the whole team dynamic.
We need our defensive identity back.

We score against crappy teams and get manhandled by great teams, continually.

Here’s hoping for a Mitch return and Thibs trusting Pacom for bsckup 4 minutes.

this hurts

Oh you very well know. I'm sure yo uhad first hand on giving Brook Lopez a 2nd lifeline, Bruce Brown a super role player in the NBA, etc.

Kenny coached D'Angelo Russell into an all star appearance. The guy knows how to make the best of the personnel given to him.

Shamet is actually playing some aggressive D, his effort is more noticeable bs everyone else’s

The bench showing more heart than the starters is all you need to know.

And then they crash out everyday deflecting to Thibs instead of admitting they were wrong.

I'll gladly concede contested twos. Better than wide open threes

MrDollarBills · Post #214 » by **MrDollarBills** » Sun Feb 23, 2025 6:53 pm

Why is the defense calling for leaving elite 3 point shooters wide open off the screen? Switch!!!

Wildcat · Post #215 » by **Wildcat** » Sun Feb 23, 2025 6:53 pm

So what was the scheme there at the open 3? Was KAT suppose to stay with KP? Was there suppose to be a switch?

Should have did McBride for divincenzo. Villanova won’t work unless it’s at full strength

Jeffrey · Post #217 » by **Jeffrey** » Sun Feb 23, 2025 6:53 pm

Minny fans were right... KAT is a dummy when it comes to switches, communication on switches or anything that complicates things. It's not a lack of effort, its his tunnel vision.

I'm sure MIL wouldn't give up Giannis for KAT straight up, not sure what other assets we could use to make it possible without crippling our team..

you don't lose every important game by 20 plus points because of coaching. coaching doesn't matter that much.

HEZI · Post #220 » by **HEZI** » Sun Feb 23, 2025 6:54 pm

We’ve changed up defensive schemes and not one has worked. Lmao

Drop, switch, bllitz, none of it works because we have awful defenders. We are getting torched no matter the scheme
