Back to beating up on the bottom-feeders.

exactly my sentiments.

I'm still in shock from the last two games. We just aren't on that level. I turned off the Celtics game when I saw KAT hobble to the bench and haven't engaged in anything Knicks related until just now. What happened with KAT?

Thibs put him back in … seriously tho, he did

Probably the fan in me but all the sudden I'm excited to see the KAT/Mitch combo with Josh off the bench. We won't need Josh running around like a mad man all game trying to make up for lack of rebounding, everyone should be in a more comfortable and more efficient role.

[Adelheid]

never saw him as a center despite his big frame even during his draft days. You just dont learn being a rim protector that easily and he is too late to learn that skillset. Thibs really put him out as the center and he is a seasoned coach. No amount of words can describe my amazement

How about Bridges off the bench? Make him earn it like Donte did. Hart is having a career year so far.

Can’t have 2 complete non shooters in the starting lineup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hart is also at his best in his natural 6th man role!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Adelheid]

dont like hart coming off the bench (if the choice is between him and mikal). The bench is just gawd awful. Prefer Mikal leading the bench unit

Hart and Mitch worked verses Philly. He's been in the starting line up regularly ever since Randle and OG missed time last season.

Thibs won't call plays for Bridges, 6th man opens opportunity to call his own number. Similar to his role with the second unit today. Light a fire in Mikal Bridges to score the basketball with the conviction of Julius Randle.

Since the season began I've laughed at every post that insisted KAT is a C and should only be deployed like a conventional C when the only thing he does is play like a power forward. But people are stubborn and will convince themselves of anything

If it is a double overtime and he can limp on to the court then

i do see their reasons, being that he has matchup advantage as a C , though they didnt heed the TREMENDOUS sacrifice in defense

Towns looks bigger to me playing for the Knicks than he did in those highlights with the Timberwolves

Mitch has never averaged double figures on offense, but during his offensive peak he was averaging right under 10 ppg scoring 4 buckets a game.

I'm rooting for the MItch/KAT tandem to work out. We need a spark so bad
