Karl-Anthony Towns And Tom Thibodeau Fail The New York Knicks In Loss To The Cavs



Karl-Anthony Towns And Tom Thibodeau Fail The New York Knicks In Loss To The Cavs

Gavin Schall is joined by Ariel Pacheco for a little bit of free therapy after a disappointing loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The session starts with an airing of grievances against Karl-Anthony Towns. With the reasonable caveat that this is his third game on a team he was traded to two weeks before the start of the season, he wasn’t nearly involved enough in the offense. The Knicks traded for him to be their 2nd star and instead got eight shots and 13 points in 32 minutes of action.

The duo delve into the source of KAT’s struggles, the need for him and the entire offense to get up more threes, Jalen Brunson’s off-night, if he has too much on his shoulders, a banner night for the wings and Ariel Hukporti’s promising non-garbage time rotation debut.

    As a wolves fan, you guys have no idea the hell youā€™ve unleashed on your team. KAT doesnā€™t get up many triples. His release is so low corners are out and he canā€™t get up the 8-10 or so heā€™d need from above the break to justify him being out there. How many offensive fouls did he get tonight? Let me guess, no post ups, no pick and pop, just a disappearing spot up shooter. Good luck and thank you for Randle and DDV.

    Cavs twin blocking towers definitely limited Towns opportunities and made life difficult for Brunson. They have great length and Coach Atkinson is highlighting that and he is definitely the right coach for that team. I felt Brunson was playing hero ball in the 4th and not looking to get the other teammates involved. He needs to learn to trust his new teammates more especially in crunch time. Itā€™s a learning process and time will be needed to gel a little more. Losing Hart in crunch time was also big factor. Also i want to see more of Hukporti.

    KAT always has foul problems, I love the dude and Uber talented but every player has there weakness

    It may be an unpopular opinion, but I think the Knicks are playing with their food. Even Thibs (trying different combos, not wanting to spam the Brunson/KAT PnR and PnP. We haven't even gotten to 25 games yet so I'm not panicked or concerned, but they MUST be careful and NOT play with their food. The 90's teams used to do that (playing to the level of their competition) and it made me pull my hair out. (btw, I hope the NYY get SWEPT!)

    Josh Hart is "RIGHT"šŸ‘!
    The NY Knicks are missing "Donte", lost some of their shooting firepower in each game. This bad šŸ˜®

  8. @Rodxyou

    The NY Knicks have some new players on their team. It will take time to play as a team this early of this season.

    it was a terrible trade, no one wanted KAT ..NO ONE! WE got rid of most of our toughness and Randle will be a beast in New York or Minnesota, TERRIBLE TRADE KNICKS! BRIDGES is not worth 5 first round picks, Career 19 point shooter!!!

  11. @Jowhite21

    This is why you draft Kolek. Payne can not come off the bench gunning. Thatā€™s Deuces job. Kolek will unlock KAT and this offense.

  13. @seanshep

    With notowns, but having Randle and Donte, you have no center so we wouldnā€™t have won that game either
