Game Thread: Knicks at Celtics 2/23 Sun 1:00 PM (ABC ESPN+)

[The Vo Show]

I think what this season has taught me is that Mikal is not a point of attack defender. He's probably similar to DiVo where he's best at shooting the gaps, getting deflections and denying passes. OG is ok as a point of attack defender but he's much better in the aforementioned role as well. This is what makes wingstop kind of suck.

[Iron Mantis]

You hear Perk??

"You see the difference between a team with an actual gameplan and following it"

He’s also mentioned how both Brunson and Towns are bottom five defensively at their positions. Call a spade a spade but it’s hard to build a contender around that kind of base.

Then you look at not controlling your own draft for 5 of the next 7 years…

It’s a really bad situation developing here with the Knicks.

Right. But the offense is disgraceful as well.

[Guano]

Og, mikal, kat are 4-20

We could have jarred Jeffries, Malik rose, mardy Collins give us this bullcht plus have the delusion of hitting the lottery to save us.

[Loaded_Hollows]

Our beloved Knicks deceived us? They were actually ass all along??

[prophet_of_rage]

Anyone else done with 3/5 of the starting lineup?

Anunoby and Bridges are redundant. You only need one of them.

Hart is a 25 MPG bench guy

Towns is Towns, a brilliant offensive player who lacks toughness and defensive awareness

Oh, and Jalen Brunson isn’t top player on a contender level.

But we knew all of this going into the offseason.

Stop it. We went at Becky Hammond when she said it.

All of Knicks twitter is going in on KAT for his defense. They finally came to the realization he ain’t it.

Ain't it is a bit much he's at like 25-13 he'd be less of a liability w Mitch next to him, we will see soon enough

Watch these highlights we are shorter and softer than Cavs and Boston. We shoot like we not sure it’s going in. Sad weekend to be a Knicks fan. We just want effort.

First play out half an iso lol

[Fat]

“Brown leaking out” just sounds wrong

[TKKnicks1]

Turning it off. We can't guard nothing.

[Jeffrey]

The problem is that Boston always has five players on the floor who can score. Most teams don’t have this luxury, allowing us to hide KAT and Brunson on defense.

The Hawks play them better than we do, so do the Wiz.

Bro people shoot 100% vs Kat it’s crazy

Let me focus on nfl free agency and draft. Was a fun year boys. Team is soft af. Looking overpaid and entitled. Looking like the staple of what not to be in modern nba after getting paid.

[prophet_of_rage]

In my opinion, paying OG that massive contract was a bad move. Giving up five for Bridges was an overpay, and I would have absolutely done the KAT trade. However, if this is how he performs against top teams, we should consider creating a package for Giannis in the off-season that includes him.

What do you mean if?

Porzingis outplaying KAT in 2025 is just depressing.

It's all depressing you guys are just nitpicking at every lil shtty detail when everything is off. Basketball sucks. Life sucks. It's all meaningless and futile.

I told you this was going to happen since December mf

You expecting us to forget you bought into it too or did you scrub those post?

[prophet_of_rage]

Thanos won tho

Not in the end.

Sounds like a great post game thread title. Describes so many things including how we look

His numbers are significantly lower against OKC, Cavs and Boston. Mitch won’t be able to save his really bad defense.

[Guano]

lol. Nice defense mikal. Just decided not to pick up brown on that fastbreak

You forget me and you went back and forth when we lost to dallas in December and I told you we were mid and you didn’t want to hear it

“Why they always look better when playing the Knicks”

Knicks defense been cheeks all year. Most importantly the effeort is never there bc there’s no real coach to bench someone for no effort.

The effort or lack thereof is extremely alarming.
