1. Oh man, Draymond is going to get into his head tonight, it's going to be ugly.

2. Okay, with Towns, we went to the Eastern conference finals. And we won the Cup this year. We didn't do that with Julius Randall, So why are we not winning with him? I don't understand. KD definitely do not want to come to New York the way we dogged him when he was in Brooklyn. Are you Serious?? Kat didn't even ask to come to New York. What you guys are doing to Kat, they did the same thing to Patrick Ewing and Melo. Because this is not a winning franchise. We haven't won in over 50 years. But for every star, we get you guys blame them for It, and that's why no one wants to come here. Hell, they even traded Walt Frazier.

3. Not showing up for the bell on 2 straight games is deplorable behavior

4. Let trade towns for J.Randel he is playing some good ball and he is tough towns is soft👌👌👌

5. The Bulls did it with Scottie Pippen when he was being a big baby.

6. I say it all the time, incredibly talented but has a heart of a kitten. It’s like he has no pride on the court. He doesn’t care if he disappears, he’s paid, he’s probably got everything he wants in his life, his family is taken care of, and he doesn’t care what happens on the court. Doesn’t care what people think of him, doesn’t care about his teammates, he doesn’t care. Doesn’t make him a bad person, but definitely makes him a player who will hold you back from winning a championship, because at the end of the day, individual talent will often get you there, but team will win it. He just doesn’t play hard more than half the time. It’s a shame for the rest of the guys on the team. With Townes, the Knicks are going nowhere.

7. I wanted Kat gone a long time ago. I didn’t need another skid to feel that way.

8. I know Mike Brown has a history of being a pretty passive aggressive guy, I wonder what that locker room looks like

9. I agree. This team will not win a chip with Towns

10. Karl Anthony Clowns makes 75% more than Randle

11. Let's focus on a player not the coach? Thibbs? I see injuries happening despite Brown's not playing them as many minutes as Thibbs did? Is it Kat or these amazing players Brown surrounds him with? Players that Kat has to adjust to level of these players that Brown is so smart and Thibbs wasn't playing them. Brown's way is not taking any responsibility. Inreresting how in NFL it's coach coach coach. Is NBA player player player!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. Tell u the truth..we were better off with Randal..he gave us more toughness than Kat.. and to me better than Kat..

13. Y'all thought Randle was bad 😂 now you know Kat

14. I think we do need Giannis after all

15. IHart would be perfect on this team. If I could put KAT back and take Randle and Divo and IHart that would be a squad.

16. Kat has already checked out of this season he doesn't care enough and he's very fragile and soft. He was coddled way too much as a child and cannot handle pressure.

17. If you watch the Knicks, they have played their best ball with Towns on the bench, with Robinson anchoring the defense, getting blocks, steals and allowing the Knicks wing dogs, OG, Hart & Bridges to swarm the ball and get in transition. KAT just doesn't fit in with this team. and to make matters worse, he is a max contract player who's always complaining. Who's going to want to take on that contract? The Knicks panicked when I-Hart left and traded Randle/Divo for KAt, who is a Center but never plays like one, and sold it as the Knicks are now "going for it". Leon Rose blew that big time, bided his time and got the right player. No quick fixes in the NBA

18. I vomited when we were just in talks about trading for him. He is such a waste of a roster spot. Get him the fuck out if here. Thibs over stayed his welcome but Kat got him fired. He had to go. But jow Kats gotta go. Hes missing chromosomes. His IQ is bereft of existence. Get him OUT OF HERE

19. You can’t win with Brunson either too small doesn’t play defense doesn’t pass the ball Dallas realized you can’t win with Brunson NYC hasn’t it’s not katt fault every game booker cooked Brunson cad cooked Brunson didn’t hear one thing but excuses Gianni’s don’t want to play with a guard that doesn’t pass or can’t play defense

20. "Indescribable but you know it when you see it" i love that quote. its descriptive of the knicks of old but being honest…that identity has got us nothing but heartache and heartbreak. We just always have bad luck with the superstars we pick. We can't win with more heart and less talent, not us. We literally have been making the right moves but at the wrong times. We gave up on Randle and Divo a season after making a run and running it back with a healthy randle. then we gave up on thibs the same year we went on that great run. We cant figure this out.

21. KAT appears to have no synergy with Brunson. I think he sent a warning message when he said he didn’t know what his role was earlier. He seems disengaged and doesn’t seem to have bought into this new system

22. they have to pass the ball to towns..last 6 minutes every game they dont make plays for towns…that way they lost games it is coach fault

23. This wat knicks get did randle and divo dirty now thier thriving in minny with a tough team identity and i love it kat is not worth that 53 million and knicks should hav traded Robinson to make room for i hart randle i hart og mikal jb and divo was bringing a chip to ny we didn't do the right thing to say randle was pretty talented lol this y you got kat guys like you are the reason y knicks will never win i remember you hating randle and hes so good in minny next to gobart and ant divo is tuff as nails and they got a draft pick as a throw in go hire thibs back

24. To see wat randle went thru here in ny im glad he got out of this because knicks and knicks culture is so toxic smfh now towns the new randle lol and a chucking 5 foot 10 point guard

25. They wanted Embiid and settled for Kat. This was the most likely scenario for Name chasing NYC.

26. The adjusyment is not being the #1 option on the team…or taking a back seat to Brunson…who is a Nut.

27. JB is thr most selfish player in the league

28. 3 serious issues with the Knicks

    1. They are the worst defensive team I think I have ever seen, no enforcers on defense. SOFT AS F**K
    2. They don’t have a true center who can play both offense AND defense. No two-way big man
    3. The coach is terrible. Still can’t believe they fired Thibs for this clown.

29. We should have never traded Randall on the first placenWe did that crock, because the feds were unhappy, saying we need a center, we need a center, we need a center. We didn't need a center , not an all star center. Especially not a center who wants to play Powerful forward.Would you make fans were happy to get him?I was one of the rare few next famous who was mad.We traded randall

30. I'll tell you what has changed, the name. Everyone used to say the exact same thing about Randall.

31. C'mon bro Hartenstein is overrated

32. I don't understand why he is driving to basket consistently when that's not his strength. It looks forced.

33. knicks need desperately to get rid of him as soon as possible. bridges is also a not competitive player

34. Mike Brown is useless he is in way over his head. Go Knicks

35. Jimmy Butler the third told you all candidly many howling moons ago. Sadly Brunson sacrificed millions

36. KAT is a helluva talent and he has exceptional games. But he isn't 100% focused in every game. He's inconsistent. I wouldn't have a problem if he comes to play but has bad games. But that's not the case. He seems to take too many games off – even when he's playing. It's like he doesn't get it. If KAT doesn't get it, I'd trade him for Giannis. But I'd only trade him for Giannis. I would trade no other key player(s) for Giannis. But the Knicks can win it all with a thoroughly focused KAT.

    P.S. The Knicks are currently hurting. And Coach Brown should share some of the blame too. He hardly played Kolek in the last two Knicks' losses. The Knicks can't win without an orchestrator on the floor.

37. KAT time soon DUN in NY!!!

38. When the news came in about the KAT trade for Randle and Dante, I was pretty damn bummed. I never liked KAT’s game. Any time we played Minnesota they always clowned him. 50 million dollars!

39. KAT will either be moved at the deadline or the clown will be moved in the offseason after they lose in the playoffs, you know it is coming, this team aint making the finals, your crazy and have low basketball IQ if you think the Knicks are a championship squad, they are NOT! this team was supposed to be a championship team lol, people actually bought that BS? this team is as soft as tampex and has no toughness or grit, they play no defense, they are unathletic, look at KAT doofy a$$ going to the hole and landing on his back, OG was supposed to be a great D man? he got the money and is a scrub defensively, Brunson don't make people better and is a awful small defender, he don't get assists, he does nothing good but score, this team will be lucky to reach the ECF again. Wake up Knick fans this team aint that good like you believed they were.

40. I see patterns ….he goes hard then out of nowhere he forgets how to play ball or sabatoge with fouls ….its not just him…its many players on many teams …i seen players avoid rebounds,purposely miss shots ect.you sit here and act like this sport isnt "entertainment purposes only"….

41. Let's simplify it . KAT is a Narcissist. His presence is a burden on this team.

42. If the Knicks can't win with Anthony no one else want Anthony

43. Knicks would be better with Julius Randle

44. The league is so stupid now.

    If it is an advantage to the Warriors to speed the game up, it is not for the Knicks.

    It's less important to cross half court as fast as possible as it is when you cross to get into your action quickly. Tough to win minus Robinson and Brunson, but the answer for every team cannot be play faster than the other team. It benefits one team more than the other.

    If you're sprinting up the court trading fast jumpers with GS, that only benefits them. See Houston last year.

45. We knew what he was when he first got here.

46. This NYKs squad has no heart whatsoever bunch of pansies

47. I was absolutely gutted when we lost IHart and Dvo!? That the dawg mentality needed right there
