Josh Hart is a quasi-bad defender, too. He still has a great brain but gets beat one-on-one a lot.
Not sure Kolek is bad, but he’s not plus.
And when it comes to our biggest weakness — letting players get into the lane — Mikal Bridges isn’t very good, either.
Basically everyone on the team except Deuce and OG sucks at stopping players from getting into the lane. And KAT compounds the problem because he sucks at making decisions when opposing players get into the lane.
It’s our weakness, and it will get exposed at times, especially when the team is exhausted. The key is a healthy Mitch. If we get 18-20 mpg with Deuce, OG, Mitch and the offense kicks ass around it, we can win around this problem.
It’s really quite simple, teams are never as good as they look when they’re dominating, nor are they as bad as they look when they’re losing games.
The Knicks probably had a few recent “lucky” wins recently, games that they easily could have lost, and they then had the Spurs loss that they could have easily won.
Shit happens, it all evens out. I think the Knicks will still likely be the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Seeing the Celtics curbstomp the Clippers was certainly something, though.
i would put mitch along with og and deuce as good players at stopping opposing players at getting into the lane id like to think that we are going to get the #1 seed also but the fact is that we are only one-half game away from sinking to #2 behind boston that would hurt a lot seems shamet is closer to returning than i thought he could help with our shooting 3s but not much with defending against them champagnie went off again last nite after an off nite but still not like he did against us
