Where's Hukporti? At this point, we need Huk, Sims and Precious.

I called us not having enough bigs taking us out ⏸️.

We got outcoached again.
Nah he is a rook and Mitch is flat out better than any center on the roster. Especially since I think KAT is a PF/C like Pau Gasol.

Brunson/Payne
Bridges/Mcbride
OG/Hart
KAT/Precious
Mitch/KAT/Sims

is the roster we need by the playoffs. With a 5 out offensive look of Hart in for Mitch, it makes it hard to out coach the Knicks cause they can do death 5 out line up and a traditional bigger lineup that is actually better than a lot of teams starting line up as well. McBride, Payne, Precious, and Sims look like they could be subs as needed too, and if the French kid develops then they are even scarier because he is based on talent no worse than a Dyson Daniels or Jalen Johnson he just needs time to develop into a full NBA Wing, but he has shown more than either of those two their Rookie seasons which is a great sign.

Kat and them went to the WCF last year with him playing a ton of minutes at PF with Gobert. Right now without Mitch the Knicks have issues with teams like ATL and the Cavs. Sort of like how Orlando had the mismatch advantage last year cause they had big wings.

I could give a fukk about losing to the Hawks specifically. Im more annoyed these nikkas been getting slapped by good teams all year.

They've been feasting on injured teams left and right. The schedule gets really real after Jan 1. People gonna be real agitated in here by the ASB weekend if they don't shape up.
You’re right but that is also a normal development cycle for a team.

Atlanta is not a good team...

I am not a stat freak, but looking at the stats the biggest difference in the output of the teams is the Atlanta out rebounded the Knicks

Yep, they manage to control the pace and the clock by constantly getting offensive rebounds.

If we out rebounded them we probably win the game.

They didn’t even shoot better than us from the field.

That’s the weakness with a 5 out team and why the wolves succeeded with KaT at the 4 and the Knicks need Mitch too. It’s good the Knicks are getting this experience 5 out but there are definitely situations where you cannot go 5 out with KaT at center and expect to win regardless if you have more talent.

Every time i think we can go on a nice 7-10 game winning streak, I always get disappointed. First the bad embarrassing loss to the pistons and now a home loss to the hawks (a good team).

I was really hoping December would be the month we would separate ourselves from the 4-7 seed teams and get closer to celtics and cavs.

We still got 8 games left, hopefully finish 6-2 at worse
