I definitely thought Towns was really good this year and I was surprised at that. But he’s been exposed pretty badly. I don’t know how you successfully cover for his flaws. Especially with Brunson as an already weak link baked into your defense.

Silver does look like a vampire. I'd probably be motivated to fight him too.

Great offensive system coach. Let anybody run the break, even Towns.

Is there anything Towns doesn’t do slow? His passes are even slow.

It is petty and BS. Fouls are fouls and have nothing to do with Dolan. Not fair to the players and the injuries they sustain from a lack of calls and the added physicality.

He's quick to get on a ref's ass.

Worst defender I have ever seen.

They are gushing over Julius in Minny. They make me look like a Randle hater.

KAT is still fighting, for all his flaws.

Lol Towns trying to rally a crowd that’s been probably telling each other how badly he’s been killing us all night

Celtics 15-29 from deep 51% (Knicks 8-24 for 33% from deep), shooting 8 more FTs than the Knicks and only up 6?!

How is this possible?

I see the difference with KAT's move. He is close to unstoppable when he gets the ball and immediately goes. But when he holds it, he then has to force that move, usually into 2 defenders now. I think KAT is fine, just teach him to shut up and get back on D, get a coach who doesn't just allow Tatum to switch to him or JB. Also sux that Hortford always makes that pick, usually while moving to make sure OG can't get around it, then just parks in the corner. Tired of seeing that abuse all game long and Tatum 's smug face.

Mikal's first halves and 3pt shooting are killing us, too. 1-5 from 3.

KAT can only drive on horford. Most of the time it’s a quicker defender on him that shuts down those drives. Let’s see if they change that matchup. If not we may need more towns and JB attacking the rim while KP is on the bench

We need a volume 3 shooter who can get 3s off whenever he wants like Tatum. That would help this team a ton especially in our offensive ruts. I thought Towns would be that guy for us. But we probably need a pull up / step back 3 guy. I’d roll with 2-3 more years of Durant to be Brunson’s number 2.

Brown has no left yet Hart gives up the right hand. That’s called defensive IQ. Gotta do better fellas.
