Knicks vs Pistons Reaction: Knicks Fold In 4th Quarter Meltdown | Towns Injured!

[@FloydPhillipsII]

Back to Backs are hard, especially when your coach runs players 40 minutes on the front end. PLAYERS ARE TIRED 😫

[@bonezjav]

I was at the game What the Knicks are missing is a true power forward n putting hart back into the bench Once we have a true power forward it's going to be trouble for the east

[@nellynel4583]

I agree to an extent. I believe the Knicks should play OG at his natural position the 3 and send Hart to the bench for more depth.

[@randolphrandy4343]

​@@nellynel4583 OG is not a power forward, unless he has a clear open dunk, he constantly gets shots either blocked, stolen, or lost when he's operating at the rim.

[@sibagiba]

Harris Shoved Brunson a bunch of times and got NO CALLS, and they give Towns a Off. foul when there wasnt really a foul. Refs gotta be more consistent and also give Brunson some respect.

[@Rogue-Blue]

Y'all had 12 more fts and Brunson foul baited all game lol

[@jerryangton408]

quick blaming refs man Damn

[@w.a.mproductionsinc9340]

our so called wing defenders OG and Bridges must step up for real

[@gravy0038]

Thibs style of ol skool defense is outdated the league is predicated on the 3point shot.. the league has passed him by years ago.. Leon Rose made the safe hire not the right hire with bobblehead Thibs.. Mark Action Jackson is what was always needed a great motivator of men especially young men and a great talent evaluator..

[@paulfritsch672]

Mark Jackson....really. lol.

[@ceetyler8249]

When is the THIBS interview Coach Protector 😅😅

[@gjtutze4178]

wingstop has not been stopping anybody execpt themselves 🤣

[@burr028]

Said it before, Thibs is not for this current team setup.

[@piffsplayground4797]

I agree you look at our coaching staff it’s thibs,Brunson,Bryant,and cheeks all these old school coaches we need some younger minds on the bench with offensive philosophies

[@YOALPHAX]

[@alisacallender290]

Why can’t we figure out the zone and why don’t we play more zone?

[@booya2k]

Zone defense seems to lock up the Knicks offense

[@MJC_DWC]

Zone locks up all teams in this NBA Teams just don't use it

[@ProjectMerljn]

6 first round picks, Randle/Ragu/ losing Hartenstein for KAT and Bridges. We traded and let go grit, tenacity and bench resources for style points, high points and 4th quarter collapses. We lost our heart boys, the 9 game streak was just an illusion. The only hope is Mitch returning, maybe he can make the difference, but ultimately I feel like that's just cope. Leon has been great, but I think he dropped the ball with the KAT trade, as much as I love Kats numbers.

[@Enerjay88]

I don't think he dropped the ball at all. People keep saying that. Let's backtrack for a second. Isaiah was not staying. He made that very clear and went for the bed as he should because that was his prerogative. There's nothing wrong with that. We had to go for Towns for an obvious Center problem. Plus the fact that Robinson was injured due to the whole Embiid situation, which people also seem to forget. So there was no way you could run it back at all because of those two glaring factors then you add the third , the whole Julius Randle extension situation. Did we want to trade Divincenzo probably not, But unfortunately it happens. People also seem to forget that we wanted to keep Isaiah. But at the end of the day again it was his choice. So because of that, it influenced a lot of the moves we made. Everyone wishes he could have stayed myself included. Would that have helped tremendously absolutely.

[@BrandoBanderas]

U can’t be serious! You seriously think we’ll have a better record with Donte n Randle in the team right right now? U don’t think we could have gotten two or three solid players than giving Og that money. 6 picks… for bridges. The Trade for Towns hurt us more that WingStop who don’t stop sht?

[@YOALPHAX]

​@BrandoBanderas I think we could of been better with them. Look how we playing now if we kept the same squad last year and we still add m bridges. We be much better team now.

[@jonhenrychris6973]

Agreed

[@yousufgoni9479]

Love the KAT trade, it was needed after iHart left. Leon dropped the ball on the Mikal trade tho.

[@iamunstoppable2886]

Put this season in a trunk! The Knicks is NEVER getting over the hump with Thibs as the coach 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@KnicksFanTV]

damn, you bailing after the midway point?

[@Irontiger19]

Agreed, Thibs ain't it. We have players that can contribute on the bench, but Thibs doesn't play them.

[@MrEnoBeano]

Knicks are going to fight for a playin spot in the end. They were more fun to watch last year. All the money and picks the Knicks gave you expect them to he much better than this. Instead they only have 2 more wins than this time last year.

[@reliablemanny]

The Knicks have the perfect starting 5 to play some ZONE DEFENSE at times throughout the games. Especially when the starters are tired.

[@jonhenrychris6973]

Nah we need a real coach that understands that....this team reached it's peak with thibs

[@mahjidtarantino499]

whenever deuce, bridges, and campaign decide to attack the rim more and work on their mid range game instead of settling on 3's... the knicks will really be a prollem!

[@uzernam3]

Lets try... PG: Brunson SG: Bridges SF: OG PF: Towns C: Hukporti

[@williecruz7006]

Knicks can come down the floor every possession and hard pick with KAT and force defense to choose their poison with sharp shooters OG and Bridges. I don’t see any kind of offense with Thibbs.

[@EdwinGarcia-hb8vt]

Knicks might just need a head coach who is more in tune with the league today.

[@frankrosa7531]

Two times KAT looked off OG wide open.

[@johndietz1266]

Last years team after the OG trade was better than this team we just didn’t get to see it enough after Randle, OG, and Mitch were hurt. Now our war chest of picks is used up and this team is still not complete.

[@rolandchestnut9076]

THE BLAME FOR THESE LOSSES ARE LOOK NO FURTHER THAN YOUR TWO BIG BIG MONEY PLAYERS OG AND BRIDGES THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TWO BIG TIME PIPPEN AND JORDAN TYPE DEFENDERS IF THEY WERE BETTER THE KNCKS WOULD BE AT LEAST 30 WINS AND 10 LOSSES I AM TELLING YOU GUYS RIGHT NOW ROSE AND JIM DOLAN ARE LOOKING AT THOSE TWO VERY VERY VERY VERY CLOSELY

[@CarlosTorres-bd2mm]

Missed a 9k parlay on a Mikal steal and a ML win….

[@Fhill4801]

In my opinion there’s jealousy on this team and it’s causing them to loose games

[@liferealgood]

We wasting time looking at Randle lowlights the other night we should’ve been looking at OG lowlights. My guy can’t dribble and chew gum 😂😂😂

[@jankyjimenez4268]

This team can’t even stop a G league team

[@maffisbleek2396]

We need a SOLID rim protector, we cant xpect KAT to b a offensive weapon and b a perfect defender, MITCH, we need him and lets hope he comes back with minimum rust

[@absolute7250]

Bridges improved overall. Now we just need kat to acknowledge his fouls so he can improve on his d without fouling.

[@ronaldclarke4844]

I see why we traded all the Draft picks ...Thibs don't play Rookies...

[@ronaldclarke4844]

Scott Foster led the Charge The game was Rigged

[@absolute7250]

@@ronaldclarke4844 nah. Kat does foul. First step to not fouling is admitting you fouled. Mitch had that problem too. Till he fixed it.

[@johndietz1266]

Scott Foster had to nothing to do with the Knicks getting cooked on defense

[@absolute7250]

@ absolutely nothing.

[@JardoniJovonovich]

Speed dial Jay Wright. Thibs has taken this team as far as he can.

[@Broimjosh]

I keep saying this. This offense is good because of skills and not Thib’s coaching. How many times is KAT going to come up and slip the screen so Brunson can go iso. KAT needs to come and set a hard screen and make the defense make a hard decision. Are they going to trap Brunson and leave KAT? Or are they going to trail Brunson and have a two on one situation going downhill? Also, we used to call plays for RJ Barrett (pistol action) heading towards his left hand but we can’t call a play to get Mikal going to the basketball? The same could be said about Brunson. All of Brunson points come from difficult shots

[@Broimjosh]

We have 5 people that can push the ball up the court but we slow down the game time and time again to give Brunson the ball. It makes no sense. We play much better when we are pushing the ball in semi transition. KAT should push the court up after a rebound, OG should push the ball, Mikal should push the ball, see if we can get easy basketballs and if they are not available, reset with Brunson

[@LouBang718]

Better Hope Mitch Comes back and tightens up this defense man. Im positive he will but we still need another piece.

[@Irontiger19]

Mitch ain't all that. Stop it.

[@johndietz1266]

The concept of Mitch is greater than Mitch the player.

[@piffsplayground4797]

Zone killing us smh, take a chance put Ryan out he was able to get minutes with pelicans as a shooter we need a zone buster especially when og not hitting his shots and mikal is hit and miss we got to switch it up and try something different

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

You ain't tired of making excuses for this coach and 4th quarter collapses yet, CP?

[@seriousnas1]

The Knicks are being exposed for who they’re really are no defense can’t stop a cough sad but true don’t know how far there going to go playing like this

[@Beautiful7]

I love the Knicks BUT...............

[@williecruz7006]

Thibbs 90s style will not win a Chip. He came in and changed the culture but it’s time to move on.

[@seahawk8168]

Knicks are in trouble. They have a poor defense, thats bad enough, but they don't have enough of consistent 3 pt shooters. One game they can blow out a team and the next they get blown out. Trouble in paradise. Mikal finally came through last night but what about the next game. OG is not a consistent player either. So you have right now only 3 out of 5 playing consistently well. This is the NBA, you need top notch players producing at all positions at all times. Look at the Cleveland Cavs, now thats a consistent team. Love my Knicks but.

[@CDiesel720]

The offensive foul on Kat was not his fault. JB went too early and caught Kat while he was still setting up for the screen. That is always on the ball handlers. Thats a PG 101 thing. As soon as MSG showed the replay it was clear JB didn't wait for Kat to stop. That's a foul 100% of the time.
