KATs huge improvement on defense this season barely gets talked about but is super important for this team

That’s nice to hear real ones know he was renowned for his defense in college lmao.

fom_alhaut | Knicks

11 | 4 days ago

He’s not elite or anything but he’s not a turnstile anymore and Brown is using him more at the level instead of drop, which suits him a lot more. If he can keep this up it’s a game changer honestly

Off night for a few guys but one team had Jalen Brunson and the other didn’t

fom_alhaut | Knicks

We’re fortunate to have several guys who can step up on any given night.

Also of Brunsons greatest qualities is his consistency. The Boston game is the only one I remember he legit put up a stinker

smallskeletal | Knicks

35 | 4 days ago

Felt good about a W after the Hart desperation three, but I was convinced after the Brunson three. But all that said, Ware is gonna be a fuckin problem. Offensive performance aside, I haven’t seen a player this season neutralize Mitch on the boards like he did tn.

GodWhyPlease | Knicks

He played good D.

While I wish he did more offensively tonight, him being better on D was more important tonight.

BrucieAh | Heat

Great game.

Our early offensive success was predicated on a gimmick offense making the most of limited talent. Same thing happened to Memphis last year.

Trade Wiggins for picks. Trade Adebayo and Powell too. Build around Ware, Kasparas and whoever we get in the upcoming drafts.

Depth has never been more important. We’re not going to get any free agents with the new supermax incentives and the model of trading a combination of picks and depth for top talent as used to be possible is a great way to give another team a dynasty.

Ware is really fucking good. If he’s shooting 5+ 3s a game and making them at above a 40% clip that’s a franchise cornerstone.

Ware really is filthy. Didn’t see him do any creating tonight and he still almost had ³⁰⁄₂₀

Our early offensive success was predicated on a gimmick offense making the most of limited talent. Same thing happened to Memphis last year.

Turns out the answer to “can you run a top offense without the pick and roll” is “not over 82 games”.

BrucieAh | Heat

4 | 4 days ago

We’re running PnR now too. Ran it plenty this game. We also have nobody that can pass out of it because Davion is too small, Herro isn’t playing and Powell is good at everything except playmaking.

NintyFanBoy | Knicks

Ware opened my eyes this game. Man can ball. Future is bright if the Heat build around him.

ScarletViolin

Hate to say this but Knicks look like an actual basketball team whenever KAT isn’t on the floor. It’s a natural consequence of KAT and Brunson not being a good duo synergy-wise but without KAT the Knicks players are moving fluidly, having good ball movement, giving solid defensive coverage.

KAT is a known weapon offensively but when he’s not on it’s so frustrating to watch. Even when he is on he’ll make a good shot and then immediately give it up on the other end with lazy defensive effort.
