I think we're going to see a 50% three point season out of somebody soon. People talk about it like it's impossible, but the game is evolving. Maybe not in the 2020's, but soon.
3PT volume has gone up but % hasn’t really changed. There have been some 50% 3PT seasons before like Steve Kerr has done it a bunch of times, I know Joe Harris did it on the KD/Kyrie Nets on high volume (51% I just checked), Kyle Korver had a 54%(!!) 3PT season, a few other guys did it in the 90s on high volume for the time too like Legler, Schrempf, etc.
@@whiteboard7thstreetI think he means on high volume. It's easier to shoot 50% from 3 if you're not shooting it that much and they're all wide open. But what if a superstar who chucks a lot of threes (like Steph Curry or Prime Harden) shot 50% from three for an entire season? That would be impressive....
People overreacting to a team that just started playing together with key defensive players out. And they’re fucking 500 with a top 4 offense.. acting like they haven’t won a game yet
That has never been Kat's game. The real issue that you didn't mention was letting Hartenstein walk over $ but taking on Kat's massive contract. Kat was a good signing for offense. Defensively tho, they needed Isiah
@@Mega_Rager for sure. but mitch cannot stay healthy, not even close. kat needs to step it up big time, and protect the rim like a man. thibs needs to get on that.
I still remember people were giving me grief for saying Cleveland was going to wind up in a better position this season than the Knicks, even after the KAT trade. So far, I'm feeling pretty good about that prediction.
not real fans. we all knew kat is a defensive zero, and given that he has to play big minutes to prove his value, the defense was going to take a hit. thibs now needs to prove he is the "defensive genius" so many claim he is. but with his complete unwillingness to extend his rotations and switch things up, i have very little hope for this season. if mitch was a reliable 75 games per year, maybe this team could have a chance. so there it is.
@@MommatheregoesthatmanRandle does play defense. He’s 100% a better defender than Kat and when he’s locked in is actually a decent to good defender.
@@laz0ramaI don’t understand where this perception that KAT can play D came from Even coming out of Kentucky he was an offensive focused Center, preferably a PF, he dribbles shoots and can drive but they expect defense cuz he’s 7 foot lol
KAT isn’t the main problem, it’s thibs nonsense rotation (like why is sims getting nba mins) and Brunson showing up to work when he wants, KAT on New York has looked like a top 5 center
Precious Achiuwa and Mitchell Robinson are injured. Not saying that the points made here are wrong, but there is no way they'd still be playing so many minutes with both of these guys back..
I called this . Called it on like 20 videos when the trade happened. Said the Knicks would get worse . That this absolutely wasn't the fit people think is was.
This the same thing happen to Celtics with Isiah Thomas but atleast IT would have good regular seasons and playoff runs when healthy. The problem the Knicks have is when your best player is 5’9 you’re not winning anything in this league. And if you ask KAT tk be your best player he’s not good enough. Knicks have a good team on paper yes but they aren’t meshing well. Brunson is to short and takes hard difficult shots that he don’t make in the 4th or playoffs when things get serious. Not to mention Brunson is a defensive liability I would trade him for a better taller player.
I will say that center is the toughest position to play defensively in the NBA. Just being a rim protector isn't enough. You need to be able to guard the perimeter, switch and stay ahead of smaller, faster guards, and still be able to deny other bigs in the post/paint. You think about it, even a lot of good paint protectors are not really great defenders (Brooke Lopez and Gobert come to mind) because they can be easily exploited on the perimeter. This is the same issue I brought up with Milwaukee. If you have a defensively liability at a guard spot and a big that struggles on the perimeter, it is a recipe for disaster because there's just too many ways to get attacked. Generally, you can hide one defensive liability, but not two. This is definitely a skill too. A lot of good perimeter defending bigs have great footwork. For example, Al Horford has historically be very versatile defensively, and if you watch his footwork he usually does a really good job with positioning and sliding, which lets him stay in front of a faster player without over committing. Conversely, if you watch Gobert, his footwork is like watching a drunk attempt ballet, and that's the reason he so often gets exploited when he has to move and defend a player on the perimeter. I've compared it in some ways to the foot work that's required for a lineman in football, something that most casual fans overlook, but that makes a huge difference in someone's ability. And then there's KAT's case where his footwork is poor and he is also just soft. I think the guy would be afraid of contact from Payton Pritchard.
It's not that Thibs is stubborn. He's afraid. He doesn't really know how to coach at an elite level like Budenholzer. They rely heavily on their best talent to carry the weight. He doesn't really know how to assess talent to be confident in potential rotations
Speaking as a lifelong die hard NY Knicks fan. I had a bad feeling about the KAT trade from the moment it happened. Not just the fact that Dante DeVincenso was turning into one of my favorite players on the team, but I just didn't buy KAT being that defensive force people talked about him being. I'm not putting 100% of the blame for our early season struggles on KAT. but he was the big deal this off season, and he was supposed to be our defensive anchor. As a Knicks fan, I'm used to disappointment when we should be doing great. But also as a Knicks fan, I'm still gonna stick with this pain.
As someone who has been supporting the rise of the Knicks over the last couple of years, I wasn’t happy about the trade for KAT. If not getting Bridges meant they get to keep Donte I would have said let Bridges stay his ass in Brooklyn. Dude straight up came over, and broke his jump shot, meanwhile giving up one of the best 3 point shooters in the league who doesn’t hold on to the ball that much. As well as I have been supporting the Knicks, I liked them so much better after picking up Donte, as Dontes resume speaks for itself. If they just rode it out, and waited for Mitch to come back they would have been just fine
So most of the concerns are valid; but no one is actually worried about him sustaining .500 from 3. Even if he drops down to 40 (around his career average) his 2-point percentage will still be high as we’ve seen in games where he hasn’t hit the 3. And last night against Brooklyn when he didn’t play we still had major defensive issues, which means KAT isn’t the real problem. Its Bridges. He’s got to step up. They’re letting guys get to the paint with ease. Also: we have Mitch and Achiuwa. When they come back some of the rim protection will be resolved.
Knicks have a good bench. I'd rest Kat and OG early in first 2nd half & 3 qtrs. 2nd unit- Kolek/McBride/OG/Achiuwa/Kat. Could bring Hart out early to join the 2nd unit too. Spread the Offense/Defense all around and rest guy's early like OG for his age in the first 3 qtrs to rest and come into the 2nd unit. If we do this as I said. Starters : Brunson/M.Bridges/OG/Hart/Kat- With 5 minutes to go in each quarter I may rest the same similar individuals because there is less at that position. But since I also love Kolek and McBride. I'd like to switch them into a rotation early as well. Once C Robinson gets back it will make it a much tougher team. Until then you could bring Kat Back in to start the 2nd after resting him the last 5 mins of the first. Then pair him with a tougher/huslte in Achiuwa. 2nd Unit to Start Qtr 2- Kolek/McBride/Dadiet/OG/Towns After 5 mins. Timeout- Brunson/McBride/M.Bridges/Hart/Achiuwa(Hukporti) Timeout, closes 2nd qtr. Brunson/M.Bridges/Hart/OG/Kat Knicks have at least 4 talented rotation pieces, 5 if you count Robinson.. Maybe even 6 if McCullar Jr. begins to ball out. Thibs needs to realize this will be the best approach for his player's health and to help the whole group find themselves a role and can be better prepared for the playoffs.
How on earth is any of this a surprise? Ever since he came to the league KAT has been one of the worst defensive bigs in the league. KATs main problem that nobody seems to talk about is that he is simply incredibly slow footet, i would say he is one of the 5 slowest players in the NBA. He is great on offense, but the Knicks already have a massive defensive liability in the starting 5 with Brunson, playing 2 bottom 10% defenders in the league makes it impossible to even hide one of them and it shows. The Knicks had propably the easiest schedule in the league to start with and are still only 6-6 despite not playing a single good team so far, concerning.
It's call Tib's playing a 7-8 man rotation and only using McBride off the bench!! This won't work he has to have at least a 10-man rotation and utilize the whole bench!! And allow Ariel to play alongside KAT adding more rim protection which in turn will allow for better perimeter protection.
to think that brunson gave up all that money just for the knicks to pick up kat. this in the knicks being the knicks. theres a reason why jimmy butler didnt like playing with him
The team is definitely different but it’s too soon to say there’s a problem. Let them get some of their interior depth back and evaluate from there. If by game 20 they are still having the same issues then yeah they screwed up. I also wish casual fans would realize the Knicks didn’t let Hartenstein go he walked in free agency to a deal that the Knicks could not offer because of the CBA. The CBA blocked them from doing it and the league ratings are kinda slipping so these new penalties aren’t working.
I am a Knicks fan... But I do want to state .. every team that comes to play against the Knicks... Play their best game of the year. It's like they all circle the Knicks game and get prepared... Ex.. bulls. They were horrible last 4 games before the Knicks game. And they come to the garden and can't miss a shot. I guarantee that the next time the next plays these teams... Knicks will win, cause a team like the bulls can't play at that level again.
We obviously need a defensive big..oh wait, we have 1 Mitchell Robinson. With that being said 1 more move for a big that’s healthy would help. This is a new team. They are 1-5 in close games. We will only get better.
I'm very much enjoying the anti Knicks vibe perpetuating UA-cam at the moment. It means they are doing things right. Get the best rebounder and elite in the league and elite defender back from injury in Robinson and I'll sit back and enjoy the humble pie that will be on the menu in January. Also, fuck your betting adverts Mike, they are lame AF.
Josh Hart has been the Knicks best all around player this season. Just my opinion. Anyways, Mike said that KAT can't wait until Mitch Robinson returns. I agree.
@@miketheitinerant6938I don’t think that says a whole lot of how he would be doing in New York, honestly. He was happy in New York playing with his friends and winning. There’s no way he’s not still pissed off in Minnesota.
Let’s be honest Knick fans. They are trying to win a championship. (Period . If you missed the last one). They are just trying to make $$$$ also having the worst owner in professional sports history doesn’t help
We have an injury problem yes were the worst in protecting the rim... with one of the best rim protecting bigs in the league injured and a solid defensive big out injured... we dont have a clue what this team looks like with kat and Mitch healthy. Play the kids to take the load off everyone
I blame thibs and I been saying it for years, from Chicago to Minnesota he does the same stuff, favors the same players and focuses on defense, exhausts the line up and becomes predictable, if the knicks wanna win a ring he has to go!!!! Stop praising him as a coach he hasn’t won anything
Why is everyone blaming KAT he is their best offensive player so far and he can’t do everything if you take a deeper dive it’s Jb’s fault bc KAT has to cover the point of attack defender as well as his
There’s no way you are penalizing the Knicks for playing at a slow pace 😂 that’s always been the thibs Knicks game plan man and it has worked so saying that our defensive numbers aren’t that good because we’re playing a slow pace is stupid.
Damn y’all are so impatient. Last year they started off really bad but surprised everyone middle of the season. Man impatience is a disease it has to be
They made the same mistake all the modern teams are making.. because someone scores a lot they think the person is better than someone that plays defense..smh. bucks aint better after getting dame but releasing the best defender in nba.. that was a downgrade.. picking Kat over Randle was dumb!!!.. kat was always a liability on wolves.. he had to be benched in crunch as he couldnt stop an Ant😂
Kat was soo wore out in that last game. Dude had to have had 35+ mins. Possibly 40mins here soon. McBride was awesome last year and if they aren't gonna get another backup C, Towns will go down with injury before the playoffs..
I thought Kat once an offensive Center/PF Since when was he a defensive guy? He’s been like that since Minnesota he’s supposed to be a 30ppg center not a 5 block center
Just wait til Mitchel Robinson comes back and we have 48 minutes of elite center play. Keep sleeping ur takes have been getting colder and colder no flight mike
To me that not kat job we didn't bring him in to be a rim protector. He makes up for it on the offense we are just missing mitch I promise you he does not get credit for his defense enough and his offensive rebounding. The knicks next focus is getting a good center. Of a powerfoward that could play defense and also space the floor
I watch a lot of your videos but this one is a bit much. Have 2 new starters and still feeling stuff out. We had about the same record last year around this time. We aren’t playing horrible, just need time to gel as a new team.

Defense is the more valuable commodity. Lots of players can score, not many can and will play defense. 40 points doesn’t mean much in the modern nba.

I blame thibs and I been saying it for years, from Chicago to Minnesota he does the same stuff, favors the same players and focuses on defense, exhausts the line up and becomes predictable, if the knicks wanna win a ring he has to go!!!! Stop praising him as a coach he hasn’t won anything
34/37 against KAT in the paint is actually ridiculous, he so soft it ain’t even funny anymore smh.
I don't think this is fair. No KAT isn't a good/great defender but he does try. He's just not very good at it. Can't be good at everything 🤷♂
Things will get better once Mitchell Robinson returns
The worst move was trading randle and devincenzo
Why is everyone blaming KAT he is their best offensive player so far and he can’t do everything if you take a deeper dive it’s Jb’s fault bc KAT has to cover the point of attack defender as well as his
correct not defending are going in the post
as a die hard wolves fan, i told yall knicks fans he was mid at best on defense.
Tried saying knicks were a 4th seed at best and everyone disagreed
We’re missing both our main rim protectors
u cant start 3 bigs in todays nba let alone 2
There’s no way you are penalizing the Knicks for playing at a slow pace 😂 that’s always been the thibs Knicks game plan man and it has worked so saying that our defensive numbers aren’t that good because we’re playing a slow pace is stupid.
I said the trade was bad for both teams🤦♂️ I was only ok with the Knick’s trade because Donte was supposed to be a viable 3&D player💀
They saw kat all these years and thought he be dikembe all of a sudden💀💀💀
Damn y’all are so impatient. Last year they started off really bad but surprised everyone middle of the season. Man impatience is a disease it has to be
Kat ain’t really a defender but there defense probably will change when Mitch & Precious come back
Katt can’t be elite on both ends at his age frl
They made the same mistake all the modern teams are making.. because someone scores a lot they think the person is better than someone that plays defense..smh. bucks aint better after getting dame but releasing the best defender in nba.. that was a downgrade.. picking Kat over Randle was dumb!!!.. kat was always a liability on wolves.. he had to be benched in crunch as he couldnt stop an Ant😂
Cavs 14-0 and you still haven’t made a video about them. They crushed the Warriors and yet still no respect.
Tibbs needs to stop running his players into the ground and play different lineups.
Kat was soo wore out in that last game. Dude had to have had 35+ mins. Possibly 40mins here soon. McBride was awesome last year and if they aren't gonna get another backup C, Towns will go down with injury before the playoffs..
Not as bad as the Kings. I don't know how Demar keeps fooling teams with his very mediocre game.
I bet big on these clowns to win the Eastern conference and 1 week later they make the KAT trade 😭
We need Mitchell Robinson back. Thar would move KAT back to Power Forward and he can be a better player
Shouldn’t have made that trade before giving the team a chance now both knicks fans and wolves fans is hating this trade
Knicks will be top 3 in East by Xmas 🎄
I thought Kat once an offensive Center/PF
Since when was he a defensive guy? He’s been like that since Minnesota he’s supposed to be a 30ppg center not a 5 block center
Kat was never a rim protector. Let’s not act surprised
Just wait til Mitchel Robinson comes back and we have 48 minutes of elite center play. Keep sleeping ur takes have been getting colder and colder no flight mike
Bridges has to go to the bench or hart when Robinson comes back. So Kat can go to the PF
KAT is like some good pick up player, I don't think he fit in NY
To me that not kat job we didn't bring him in to be a rim protector. He makes up for it on the offense we are just missing mitch I promise you he does not get credit for his defense enough and his offensive rebounding. The knicks next focus is getting a good center. Of a powerfoward that could play defense and also space the floor
KAT needs a pg like j holiday that duo would be insane
The PROBLEM IS KAT… DUDE HAS NO HEART 0️⃣❤️
I watch a lot of your videos but this one is a bit much. Have 2 new starters and still feeling stuff out. We had about the same record last year around this time. We aren’t playing horrible, just need time to gel as a new team.
