[Lowlight] Karl-Anthony Towns falls down driving to the basket, stays on the ground in the backcourt, and misses the easy loose ball rebound leading to a Kings 3 - Mike Brown heated on the sidelines
wtf is going on in the Knicks locker room. These guys all look miserable out there tonight with Brunson gone.
OG isn’t complaining about a lack of touches and Mikal isn’t crying about the coach so it has to be KAT
See that on court interview with KAT after they snapped their losing streak?
KAT looked miserable. Mentioned he only had 4 FGA previous game and almost said it likes it’s not his fault but wisely tried to turn the interview in a positive direction.
Personally, the Mike Brown hire never made sense to me. But KAT has been like this since preseason honestly. He doesn’t want to play in Mike Brown’s offense. And KAT is who he is for better or worse and he’s not unique in the sense that most great scorers would be upset about losing touches, especially someone as efficient as KAT.
Didn’t Brunson get sexually assaulted by Hart not too long ago?
Maybe it’s causing some issues.
You mean Josh Hart, the guy Brunson’s done like 8 podcast episodes with since then including a whole segment about the thumb thing?
Sorry for not being up to speed on every NBA player’s podcast.
And yet you knew enough about them to suggest “sexual assault” was tearing their locker room apart. They were college roommates and best man at each other’s wedding, they have like the most well-documented friendship in the league.
Thankfully Knicks going through this before the playoffs
Getting it out of the system before the break is always better.
I think this is common Kat play tbh.
Kat is a bonafide loser and he’ll always be one. Love the human but he’s not an elite killer
Lavine calling for the ball and Demar gives it to Russ after he just bricked the corner 3, lol
Demar knows the right play
i mean demar shrugged right after westbrook made it so i’m not too sure lmao
Is every miss a brick
Everybody told me the losing was because they were tired. They had 3 days to prepare for this game and they didn’t even try.
Team is ass
trade for giannis literally everyone should be touchable
Everyone but Brunson , no?
he said what he said.
dayum
Knicks fans like you are fucking losers holy shit
keep it up and ill trade your ass
relax
Hart likes the sound of that
The Knicks owner already said he doesn’t want a trade and that he’s sticking with the current roster :/
Ian Begley I know has said he thinks there’s no way Yabusele is there past the deadline and that Alvarado from the Pelicans is a name to keep an eye on
How are Knicks gonna turn Yabu into anything but magic beans? They have no assets.
The power of friendship I guess
Too much rest can also be bad. They were rusty. That must be it, right?
Yeah, they said that on the post game show. It’s a fine line because you can get too out of rhythm.
I felt this way about the Knicks this time last season. No way we are going anywhere when we’re getting smoked by the best teams. But we turned it around and were two games from the Finals.
But this year there has been a concerning lack of energy and fight. Something we never saw in a Thibs tenure.
lol why are the kings causing such distress in the league right now?
This is hilarious.
I should have went to this game.
The Kings are chaos goblins
The Kings have some relative unknowns causing a bit of chaos and positive play. Which has energized the team and given them more dynamism. This team also guards (and creates) in space much more actively and organically than other recent versions of the Kings. Can the team, and especially the rookies, keep it up when updated scouting and preparation are at play? As a Kings fan, I hope so.
The league is always in disarray when the kings have semblance of success
Sacramento Chaos Goblins is a hell of a name.
When the Kings D League team, the Reno Bighorns, moved to Stockton, I remember people saying they should’ve been renamed to the Stockton Goblins instead of just the Stockton Kings.
Stockton Goblins merch wouldve gone crazy lol
You can’t plan for us. We’ll play 3 guys you’ve never heard of every night!
The only constants in the universe are the speed of light and losing to the Kings
this is what they mean when they say coach has lost a locker room (or a player)
It feels like something between Brown and KAT is going to boil over
for sure. Mike Brown been throwing shots since the beginning of the season lol
Mike Brown notes that Mikal Bridges is a little ahead of the curve with regard to adapting to new system because he was in the gym all summer with the team’s younger players
And KAT was saying before everything that he didn’t fully get his role in the system
KAT is a laker
soon^™
monkey’s paw curls
What would that package look like
I have absolutely no idea because KAT’s deal is a hurdle
One of the biggest contracts around. Yall would have to break LeBron’s legs
Any deal to get out of that contract will need a facilitator team like the Jazz to take him
Lakers would give up 200 points a game.
This is Mike Brown’s first season as Knicks HC, right? Dafuq lol.
Genuine question: Thibs got fired for losing the ECF. Does MB get fired for a first or second round exit?
he 100% should….I still think Thibs had earned a final season with us. They did him dirty. He changed our culture and dragged our team out of shit.
As a Pistons fan I would like for it to be first round with a blown call on a buzzer beater three, please. If someone could arrange that I would appreciate it
Based on what? A perpetually soft player making a soft play
and losing in this manner to the kings
Trade him now. I’m so done. Team would’ve been better with randle and divo.
You guys are seeing what drove MN nuts about KAT all these years.
we literally were better. in the games with randle, hart, divo, brunson, and og healthy we were blowing out great teams.
Took you long enough.
It was fun last year, not so much this year.
I don’t disagree, but the problem still would have been not having a Center for the first half of the year (and Mitch not being about to play more than 25 min anyway).
Starting Randle at C or our rookie Hukporti would have been a recipe for disaster
Mike brown seems done with the KAT experience
Me too honestly. He’s the most frustrating all-star level Knick since Melo and I mean that in the worst way possible.
Worse than Melo, at least he was the best player on the team even if he didn’t give his full effort. KAT has you wondering if he’s even the 4th best player on some nights.
Why do the Knicks get or attract these all offense no hustle no defense players like KAT and Melo?
Bc no one else wants to go there
Melo didn’t always give effort defensively, but he had more passion and determination and smarts than KAT has in one finger.
im done with the KAT experience and also done with the Mike Brown experience
Crazy because everyone blamed the kings front office when they fired him. They are terrible in their own right but MB is not a good coach
Oh KAT always does this lol. I’ve never seen someone fall over so many times driving to the basket.
We love KAT, but he would drive us crazy dong this. He’s injured himself multiple times falling down.
Did he complain to the refs as much with you guys? That’s my biggest pet peeve with him. He doesn’t get back on defense and the guards/forwards are forced to pick up the slack.
Yes
KAT is just pure empty stats (and he’s not even that this year). He is everything I can’t stand in a player. Has the size and natural talent but wastes it by refusing to give consistent effort and the lowest BBIQ in the league.
Was on board with the Mikal trade because fuck those picks, was on board with Thibs getting fired, was never on board with trading for KAT. Bitchass CBA put us in that spot because we weren’t allowed to pay Hartenstein.
Same. I’ve tried to be open to it but I’m done with him. He kills so much momentum with dumb fouls, has no flow in the offense and constantly makes mistakes on defense. Outside of his first few months here he has been absolutely ass. I can’t stand his game and his complaining to the refs on every drive. I’d trade him for just any borderline starting Center.
You need thibs he would motivate this dumb team.
If Banchero is 6’10” for no reason, KAT is 7’0” for no reason. KAT is center Paolo.
How is he empty stats when we went to the conference finals last year? Like wtf do ya’ll be saying lmao. He doesn’t want to play for Mike Brown, which is obvious.
Mike Brown can be seen reacting to KAT finally getting back in the play
If you breakdown KATs salary by seconds played, he probably made like $23k to lay there while the game was going on.
On ground for about 10 seconds. Makes \(53mil a year. Assuming around 33MPG and 80 GP he makes around \)330/sec of game. So $3.3k
im going to kill myself.
That makes me sick 🫠🫠🫠
“What’s wrong with you, boy?”
Precious is making him his bitch
Precious has had a good couple of weeks
The Kings haven’t had a big who could decently, consistently, decisively and quickly create in space and around the basket in forever.
Sabonis ?????
Why is he lying down there? Who does he think he is? Me7o? Get up brother
Towns falls to the floor in the paint at 1:44 seconds.
Achiuwa grabs the loose ball at half court at 1:34 seconds.
Towns is seen with 1 foot out of the paint above the free throw line at 1:34 seconds.
Can’t believe we got Randle, Donte, and Beringer for this guy.
Thank god I don’t have to watch him anymore.
KAT’s falloff needs to be studied I understand losing your mom is tuff but his play comes down to effort, there’s no excuse to have 16 rebounds 1 game and then 3 the next, that’s an effort issue which is unacceptable for dudes making tens of millions. He has 12 and 5 every other game, his best games nowadays are 25⁄13, not to say that’s not a great game but that used to be his average, this used to be 1 of the best scoring bigs in the nba now he looks like a nurkic/valuncienias/vucevic/zubac level big man, instead of a Jokic/Embiid/Wemby level big. It’s disgusting and disgraceful to watch for anyone who loves the sport.
As a Wolves fan, I don’t miss this guy at all. Also, can anyone tell me how to get a flair? I’m an old guy who can’t figure it out.
If you are on mobile, at the top right of the screen on the main rnba page, click the three dots button and then click change user flair
Ah thank you so much! I’ve been fucking around for hours trying to figure it out. Cheers mate
No problem :)
RUSS FOR 3 BANG
I’m blocked out of Kings games. What happened to Brunson?
Ankle sprain
Got it - thank you
I’ve never been a guy who wants someone traded but this…. Jesus Christ…..
Now gotta watch yabu fatass brick everything. I hate this shit man lol
The hate I have for KAT can’t be quantified
pathetic ass team
unacceptable
NBA cup curse continues
Kings announcers said he was running a cherry-picking play lmao
I was expected to see a furious Mike Brown.
Probably time to trade KAT for Nurk and salary.
I’m fucking beyond sick of this dude.
they’re both ass
Can you win a title with KAT as your starting center?
Doubtful. Need a lot of plus defenders to cover for him. Him and Brunson together is extremely tough.
Did Mike Brown do the Nutri grain scream?
And after all that💅
We should have never fired Thibs! A complete overreaction, spent all offseason looking like a joke. Hired a coach who has never shown he can lead a team of this caliber, and whose last job saw him get fired by the NBA’s current worst franchise. Mike Malone is that you???
Mike brown got some elite chompers, I know he make that thang wet n slippery!! Tongue twister demon!! 👅
Yowzers
