PG: Knicks vs. Celtics: At least that 3rd quarter was encouraging...

Every friggen game we get burned by our 3-pt defense. Is anyone sick of this by now?

You cannot guard threes and help down low. We need a shot-blocker (back). This isn’t hard to understand.

Please don't make common sense posts. We rather blame the coach, says the team sucks, GM sucks, MSG Sucks

Lmaooo WTF man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is comical, these guys have to be protected from themselves.

This goes back to my previous post about this team winning games 90% on talent and 10% on coaching. Thibs gives free reigns to his stars and they absolutely love playing for him cuz of it. There no actual coaching going on here besides go out there and perform.

Stupid comment, laughing at Towns but he's putting up 25-13(second league in REB) people just wanna blow things out of proportion and make stupid claims....let the knee jerk reactions keep coming in, Mitch next to KAT cleans up a lot of his shortcomings but nobody wants to wait and see...they want to win every game, people say let's lose games to see what we have but having a breakdown when we try to win games but lose, stupid fan as we have man, very frustrating.

They gutted that for Bridges.

You have your thoughts on which position KAT should be playing and that's a fair basketball discussion.

But we traded two vets and just one protected pick for KAT. Despite some of his deficiencies, I think 90% of people would agree he's an upgrade over Randle and Divo.

The Mikal trade and the KAT trade are not the same, and lumping them together is a mistake imo.

It's the Mikal trade that effs us. Because we lost the flexibility to either trade for a superstar or hit reset as needed. The return on investment is SO weak.

I'm going to need more out of OG and Deuce; Consistency on offense. And better transition defense.

KAT and Hart were the only ones rebounding. KAT finished with 24 PTS 18 REBS and was 3/4 from 3, and had the best +/- out of all starters. -1 in a 13 pt loss.

Knicks as a team were hitting at 3's at a respectable clip(39%) and should have taken at least 44 total...matching the Celtics attempts. But they only took 36, and Josh didn't even attempt one....

I want to go on record to say I got no knee jerk reactions here. I've been on the fire Thibs club since last season.

Need to find a way to make him step into being the #3 on this team. Can't afford for him to keep being a worse version of Donte.
His defense has been mediocre, and I know it's partially because there is no one behind him and because he logs a ton of time and never sits out.
Gotta figure out to make him the best version of himself.

Even he’s sitting here saying we should trade towns for Giannis which is an acknowledgement that an all star starter still has a ton of value. What is Minnesota getting for Randle if anything? Even if we ultimately don’t win with him he’s an asset.

Mikal probably has some trade value too but it can’t be anything in the same galaxy of what we paid. We are likely holding Brooklyn’s bags on that for the next 6 years

Also where is this “abundance of young talent” lol

It's been apparent all season we have a mismatch between coach and team on the court. Eating against weak competition has given us a false sense of security.

The sad thing about him is that he plays so timidly. He is afraid to go to the rim. Would rather shoot a fadeaway jumper on a fast break. Maybe he should watch some Josh hart film. It’s frustrating how soft he plays at times.

Could have won with better defense, hopefully Mitch makes us look closer to last year. KAT at center is bad against every team but we can overcome it. The top three teams are good enough to exploit him. He was getting outworked by Kornet.

He's shooting a career low from the freethrow line, I think he avoids contact because he doesn't think he can make them.

I mean if 2 years ago u said divo would do what he did last year people would laugh. He was good, very good hard nosed but how about we wait for the playoffs to come around and see what we get from KAT and this team? You don't think KAT will have a signature moment in the playoffs, Sh*t tightens up come playoff time(defensively), we have our big man in the middle coming back and let's not forget what he's done in the playoffs the last 2 seasons. This team is going to be fine, the sky is not falling

I've never seen a poster continually trash a select few players as swiftly and consistently as 3toheadmelo. It's almost like he's a bot.

KAT is a beast on offense but he's been a massive liability against the elite teams. I'm losing confidence in him. Randle is actually trending right now on twitter and people saying we should've kept him but forget about that. I just don't know how we can win with KAT when he's been a no show against the elite teams, and they keep targeting him on switches, pick and rolls, nowhere to be found closing out or protecting the rim. He looks clueless out there. And he struggles scoring on teams that put smaller players on him. I am just hoping we can at least mitigate his bad defense with another big. Problem is that we don't really have a reliable one since Mitch is hurt and Huk might not be ready.

Mikal's trade def hurts us more, no disagreement there. We gave up way too much value for him.

Well not only that he is shooting 1.1 attempts a game which is also a career low. Guess how many attempts he had tonight? 0

74.2% isn’t THAT bad. He’s not Mitchell Robinson. That can’t be what it is. I’m still saying he is afraid of contact

All the minutes played and he’s had 62 free throws ALL SEASON

You pay too much attention to Twitter bro

KAT is a better player than Randle.

Randle is also a weak defender, and was a weak defender for us after the 2020-21 season. Defense isn't really an argument against the trade.

This isn't to say KAT doesn't have flaws because he does.
