Yeah he has become a clutch shooter. That driving layup he made was huge. When we win, does he always come up with a clutch steal and break?

And he still could have been much better. Played kinda immature or underwhelming at times and still did this

Cant explain how he has these stretches where its an offensive foul, a turnover, a drive without a whistle and then he allows a fast break. He has in game self destructions too often. But he recovered and rotated well on defense down the stretch when he was in and he got boards and points in the paint. He is so volatile. Taming the big KAT is the challenge that will determine whether we can go all the way

Today?

🤣

SHOUT OUT TO THIBS

Shortly after this post From Phil, Thibs Sat cam Payne after those sling shots and he never saw the court again.

Thibs also pulled Mitch before Celtics tried to hack a Mitch. He also ran the offense through Mikal and allowed Deuce to play without Payne which gives more opportunities to Mikal and deuce.

Mitchie ain’t no snitchie

And F those 5 picks. Bring back Divo and let’s build a nova Knicks dynasty.
Towns needs to have more body control, put his head down and attack. That’s when his jumpers are money.

OG carried us for a min too, when we needed him.
Hart was hart. Still should move to bench and start Mitch, but at the same mins distribution.

But who am I vs COY Thibs

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

He gets frustrated. You can see it. The refs are pretty light with the whistle for him. But when he doesn’t get a call, he gets a bit frustrated and it shows. He played well despite getting some plays called off. The defense was running at him the whole game. Calling switches to get OG off the ball. When he gets a bit mature about not getting calls, he may actually get more of them.
