The Chiefs made it to the Super-Bowl, they just didn't make it to the Game.
The game was embarrassing to all Knicks fans, same as Super-Bowl Chiefs fans tonight.
What we watch was a complete exposure of how far we have to go (2 or 3 seasons).
Yes, one game could do that when the team is weak at every position on the court for 48 minutes, plus the coaching is not making one or any adjustment for all the weakness showing on offense & defense in the first half, and then 2nd half.
I'm accepting that this Knicks team just isn't that 'good' especially when talking "contender or championship in the 2024-25 season.
At the end of the day when all is said and done, the Knicks are being designed to just beat under .500 NBA teams to be an above .500 team at the end of the season.
We are WEAK in so many areas on the court.
Hint: Having both Mitch & IHart in the rotation made the Knicks a contender team, plus having two high scorers too (Randle/Brunson).
Everyone mentioning when Mitch comes back we .....
Mitch haven't played with these new Knicks teammates!
And the luv of Mitch & Brunson goes like this ....
Brunson will shoot a 3' ball shot instead of pass to Mitch at back-door,
Mitch liked playing alongside Grimes, instead of Hart or Divo.
All that could said is that Mitch missing game injury is adding up to a full season and a half. That's a long time.
The Celtics Stategic defense stopped our Iso-scoring, plus our two-man game of KAT & Brunson, and Hart & Brunson.
The Celtics refuse to defend Josh Hart on defense, so the ball kept going to Hart to score .. Which became difficult for Hart to score having Kornet or Queta 7' footers ready to block any thing slashing into the paint.
Brunson with, or without the ball was being defended by two Celtics defenders throughout the game. When Brunson did get the ball double and triple defenders covered Brunson to throw the ball to a open Josh Hart. And Mikal was being defended so well he became a shoot-first player throughout the game (5-15 FG).
KAT was taking out of the Knicks offense by, Kornet, Horford, and Queta's defense.
KAT defense did not stop the Celtics scoring,
Jason Tatum Crushed-us for 40 points, starting with the Tip-off Dunk!
We had no defender to stop Tatum, or 7.1 Luke Kornet's double-double 14 pts, 12 reb. on 7-7 FG shooting, or the Celtics 7.0 bench player Neemias Queta's 11 pts, 8 reb, and trying to block every Knicks player shot.
Trading Jericho Sims when the team really needed Sims big body and rim protecting against the Celtics inside scoring.
