Brian, I have a suggestion for the newsboy. Maybe it could also link to video clips of the coaches talking about the recent game. Like today that would be Mike Brown and Tiago Splitter. I mention Splitter also because sometimes it’s interesting to know what our opponents think of us. I know that’s probably more complicated than just including Mike Brown postgame stuff, because any Mike Brown post game conference is relevant, but only two of Soliter’s post game conferences in a season are of interest to Knicks fans and it might be hard to sort just those two out.
Overall fun, if exhausting, game. Special props to Shaedon Sharpe, who seems to no longer be just a high-flying dunker (but clearly still has that game!). Lots of Knick heroes in this one, though. Josh, Mitch, Jalen, OG. Even Bridges had a quiet but efficient night. 18-6-6 with 4 stocks.
I was fine with Tyler sitting this one out. A lot of long, hyper-athletic opponents. Not a great set-up for success.
maybe the newsboy doesnt need to get up so early
Noble asked this a few days ago and I’ve been thinking about it since:
I’m pretty sure the answer came to me last night: Mike Brown’s offense requires KAT to make decisions.
It’s hard for me to blame Brown here. This is the correct way to incorporate all four guys on offense. If you inserted average KAT shooting numbers instead of the garbage he’s been shooting, we would have the best offense in the NBA.
And frankly KAT’s whole “I’m the one being asked to sacrifice” martyr bullshit really rubbed me the wrong way. And I can’t imagine his teammates loved hearing it, either. OG and Mikal and Deuce and Josh make an average of 3 sacrifices per possession to cover for him on defense.
We played a lot better without him last night. But we won’t always have Mitch on hand to do that. IMO this is increasingly becoming like the Nomar Garciapparra situation in 2004, with him sulking away in the dugout while the team rallies without him.
My default position all year has been to not break up the team because this is our all in year. But if KAT isn’t going to buy in, the all in year isn’t going to succeed. I’d give him to the trade deadline to get it together or send him packing if he doesn’t.
only concern is that his bad play or his benching would play a role in us getting less than value for him at the trade deadline
Also worth pointing out his Minnesota tenure ended very similarly, i.e. with him getting benched in 4Qs while the team played better with Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert.
He responded incredibly well to getting traded. He looked super motivated at the start of last season, and we all thought we won that trade in a landslide.
It was a great first impression. But KAT’s been the biggest underperformer on the team for over a year now.
Really? I get that he’s underperforming this year but I thought he played fine in the playoffs, overall, and last year this time people were losing their minds over the Bridges trade because of how underwhelming he was.
I don’t know what a KAT trade would look like? JJJ from Memphis?
