There was never a moment where you thought the Knicks weren't going to win that game. It was never close. It also didn't feature Jalen Brunson as Jalen was getting a rest day. And this didn't pop into my head, even though it should have. Because in the first half, as we've talked about over the last few days, Kat doesn't get enough touches and he doesn't get up enough shots and it really is inexcusable.

And last night he got off eight shots in the first half, which is a very acceptable number. And maybe it's because Jalen Brunson wasn't out there. They were still zero three pointers. It was zero three pointers. That's true. But he was five for eight from the field. Right. He was very active. Look, he was dominant in the paint. It's what you wanted to see from him.

But you also want to see him take some shots from range. Oh, absolutely. But I really want the ball. I want him to make plays. He's my second best offensive player. And last night's case, he's my best offensive player because Jinglin isn't out there. So, yeah, I think you could jump to the conclusion. and all you need was Jose Alvarado running the point for Carl Anthony Towns to get the ball in his hands.

And Katz said jump to the conclusion. All you need was Jose Alvarado running the point for Carl Anthony Towns to get the ball in his hands.

And Katz said something after the game.

I want to play it for you.

Can you pull that Carl Anthony Towns clip in which he was talking about what worked for the Knicks offense yesterday?

And it just, it's like Lindor and Soto.

It's kind of obvious that these guys are just not connected.

Here's what Kat said after the game about really the team as a whole and their offensive performance.

I thought we did a great job moving the ball.

I thought we did a good job playing with a 0.5 mentality and doing everything we needed to do

to be a good team and a hungry team with a lot of guys trying to prove themselves in his league. So I thought we did a good job of weather in the storm. We understood they're going to play hard, they're going to play well, and we found a way to win. So the point five mentality is something Steph Curry used to talk about, which is basically holding the basketball too long as a bad thing. It's like a grenade. That's what Steph used to say.

So 0.5 kind refers to in less than a second. You're doing something. You're getting rid of the ball. Right. And when he said that, all I can think about is, is he throw in shade of Jalen Bruns because all he does is not 0.5 basketball? Yeah. I mean, clearly he was. And maybe it's because this is something that

Mike Brown talks about.

Like, you end up as a

player parroting your

coach. I remember this one, Ronde

and John Gruden, he went to Super Bowl. He's always

talking about all these idioms and things that John

would say. I'm like, that's not you.

You're just regurgitating John Gruden.
