Yea KAT was cooking early, they got bailed out with those fouls

he went small for 2 minutes and we got killed and then we got killed again during those precious minutes. mitch was only -3 at halftime. it was the minutes without him or kat that made things start going bad.

Surely the narrative that we aren’t on the same stratosphere as this team and have no chance to even compete with them and aren’t on the level with any good team has to have some cracks forming

Idk if we will win another game or not but I’m convinced the Knicks aren’t nearly as bad as you and others have tried to claim all year period point blank change my mind

I mean we were down 20 and maybe the Celtics just stopped trying. Let’s see if they can make this a series. But it was a great win, hopefully they can keep it up and prove me wrong


Even if that was true and maybe they nodded off at the wheel when they went up 20 you’d think going into overtime might be a warning sign they should flip the switch and start trying again :lol:

Besides 20 is nothing in the modern nba, if that’s their mentality they have some problems

I’d say the consensus opinion is clearly that as the champions the Celtics are still better team and will bounce back and win the series but I don’t see the Knicks rolling over and dying without a fight either these guys have too much pride. Win or lose just fight that’s all I can ask

It’s too early to tell if last night was a fluke. But like I said I hope they can keep it up and prove me wrong. At the very least I’m glad they were fighting and did not give up. If we do that all series I will gladly eat crow.

In the first half he looked like he couldn’t do anything. He had to get pulled (rightfully so) because of this and the hack a Mitch.

We will need to be strategic with how we use him with his clear faults and apparent drop in athleticism, but he can still be very useful in the right situations


I was mean to Mitch in the GT.

I called him Assquatch

He's been pretty awful

I hope he turns the corner during this series


Future Knick needs:

Some guy 6'7 or taller who can play defense and hit some 3's to give the Knicks a different look than Hart. Could be starter, could be bench
A center who plays like Mitch used to on defense, can hit a 10 foot jumper or jump hook.
A backup PG who can play PG.

These might come from internal development, but they might need to get a stop gap vet or two until then or if that doesn't happen


Hopefully internal development. But yeah after Kat the lesser acquisitions were all guards - Payne, Shamet, Wright is a big guard but not a forward. PJ Tucker too old to play. Really need a 6'8 forward who can actually play D and shoot, to back up OG Hart and Mikal. Not sure if Dadiet can become that guy. And a C with some rim protection and more offense than Mitch, maybe Huk maybe a vet
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Mitch and KAT are 10 levels above whoever else we have at the 5.

They're both elite at certain aspects of the game. It can't be undervalued.

Just seeing the spacing we had with KAT on the floor is insane, if you just take a step back and look at the film.

Mitch is very limited offensively but he's a monster in key areas of the game. They're just seldom talked about.
