And sometimes he hits Robinson on the roll for a dunk or Robinson kicks it out.

Sometimes if he can't get that pass, cause it's a straight on pass and jail and Brunson's not very tall, he'll swing it to Josh Hart over here.

Hart will hit Mitchell Robinson on the roll and the ball just starts moving in such a dynamic way.

And I don't think it's entirely a coincidence that

through no fault of his own, that those sequences seem to happen more when it's Brunson and Robinson and not Cat.

However, you are not getting to the promised land without Karl-Anthony Towns giving you 30 to 35 A plus minutes in a lot of games because his shooting is so powerful.

So yet again, we are two years into this and the Knicks have to figure out more consistent answers to the wing on cat wing on Brunson center on heart defense that the smart teams, the able teams, the teams that have the personnel to do it are going to throw at them.

And that's, what's so maddening about the Knicks because in some games they pull all the right levers.

It's not like they don't know what the counters to this are.

They've seen it for two years.

And those levers work to varying degrees.

And in other games, they just don't touch some of the best levers and they just get it gummed up.

And every commentator says the same way.

You got to give the ball to cat.

You got to force feed the ball to cat.

I'm here to tell you, that's not the answer to this.

At least not all the time.

You want to force feed the ball to cat in the post against Tari Eason or Jalen Williams from the thunder wing, Jalen Williams.

That is a losing proposition.

You're not going to win against good teams that way.
