There’s been hype coming out of New York for months and yet still no substance after the Knicks were pelted for the third time this season by the Celtics.

The Celtics can comfortably put Holiday on Towns, allowing Porziņģis to guard whichever non-shooter the Knicks have on the floor, because he’s strong and an incredible post defender for his size. This makes New York’s top-notch offense stagnant. Only so many teams have guards/wings able to disrupt Towns (Oklahoma City is one of them).

Built to compete with the Eastern Conference’s elite during the offseason, the New York Knicks are trying to still figure out how to break into the top group after the past two games.
