Kevin Durant reaches 30k career points | Sixers lose 4th straight

One guy is smaller than Jalen, not the quickest feet. Cat is bigger, has had injuries, not the most nimble. And you see teams, specifically Boston, just spam the pick and roll over and over and over until they get Brunson on Tatum or Brunson on Brown, and then they get past him, and then it's one move and they're past Cat.

And it's pretty much just trying to put those two in the action, and it takes away. And then if OG comes to help, if Mikkel comes to help, if Josh comes to help, they got shooters everywhere. And I think the stat you mentioned was a tremendous stat. I think it was DJ Ace, who's a big Knicks fan, I think a lot of that is the middle teams and the top teams.

You have more than likely have an elite creator at the very least. Like if we're including I don't know where the Pistons fall on that. But Kate has been one of the I know Dave hates to hear this. Kate has been one of the best.

No, I'm with you. He's been one of the best pick-and-roll players this year. Trey, again, in the middle of the pack. I don't know where they are offensively. They're a middle-of-the-pack team. Trey has been one of the best pick-and-roll players, even when the Bulls had Levine. And the Bulls beat the Knicks earlier this year.

There are so many good playmakers at the point of attack in basketball, and the Knicks see them often. And I think that when you have those ones that are above good โ€“ They're able to kind of take those disadvantages to the tool shed, and they're able to generate offense for the team too. So I think that's the big thing.

I think teams โ€“ the really, really good teams are putting Brunson and Cat in the action. Again, it's not their fault. They are โ€“ Both, they both try, they both compete. They just have limitations. And that's why I kind of had questions about the makeup of the roster after the trade, because I, I didn't think the Knicks would be worse, but I wasn't sure that they would be better.

I just knew that they'd be different. And I think it's shown itself there. They were really good offense team last year. They're, way better this year, even though I think they were top five last year. Where they're at this year is even better. And defensively, they were fifth last year, and they're 17th this year. And that's a pretty big gap.
