You got to go to bed.

And the only thing you can do, you're going to bed mad.

And that doesn't make you sleep well.

It makes it worse.

Yes.

100%.

They're your best players, your best scorers.

You need them.

Well, the challenge is that you shrink, especially if Cat's not going to play around the perimeter like he hasn't been as of late.

You've really clogged the lane.

And so...

There's many ways to do this.

One is to just put your shooters out there, and that allows Cat to be freer.

But at the same time, if teams are going to give you a size advantage and Cat can just dominate in the paint like he did yesterday against the Grizzlies and just go steal 20 points a game in the paint, do that.

Why make it harder?

Why shoot from range when you can just score 20 in the paint?

It's a dynamic that I think Mike Brown is going to struggle with.

This is why when you asked this question a week ago, or whenever you ask what the story would be if the Knicks get knocked out, to me it's going to be coaching.

Because I think coaching can fix this problem or mitigate it a little bit, but ultimately they've got to figure out how to play well together, and Mike Brown's going to be the one that's going to help that happen.

Yeah, I mean, they get out to a lead, but obviously it doesn't last very long.
