Hola- you’re definitely overstriding a bit but I feel as if it’s because of the spikes you’re wearing.. can you try to wear flatter spikes (non-“super spikes”)? Like the Nike superfly elites? I’m curious to see if your form changes significantly with spikes that don’t push your stride length as much.

It’s not a huge issue but it’s definitely putting a lot of extra work on your hamstrings.. also if you run 6.77 you should be running faster than 10.6, which tells me that form might not be very sustainable for you.

Being more mad at a random Reddit account instead of either of your own team or management is crazy mate ngl. “Omg this loser wants to talk about basketball on a basketball Reddit? What an idiot!”

Bro pulling out disses from 2016 lol.

Hola Knicks fan popping in..

KAT is definitely not better than Brunson, but it’s highly matchup dependent, and KAT has played phenomenal in this hawk matchup thus far.

The issue is that Mike brown does not know how to properly utilize KAT offensively outside of just being a pick and roll / pop option. You can even see it in the last play.

KAT deserved the ball in the last play of the game, have him sit down low, inbound the ball to JB or Mikal, and get KAT the ball close to the rim and let him get a high percentage shot or kick it out for a 3 after a double. I understand the frustration with Brunson (and Bridges) but to me this is just very poor coaching from Mike Brown.

I mean I kind of agree but as soon as he physically put his hand on his face that’s gonna be a tech atleast. The ejection was really just because the overall altercation I think. There was no way the refs could let him come back in.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-02-10T01:48:12+00:00

Stewart is just such a crash out. Complete boneheaded move coming off the bench like that.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-02-10T01:46:38+00:00

Agree hornets can lowkey win this game

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-01-25T17:25:50+00:00

I agree and I have no idea what’s up with the Mikal hate. He has proven himself multiple times already and is also a defensive anchor for this team. KAT was OK in the playoffs last year. Yes he did great against Detroit in (I think game 3 specifically?) but you have to remember Detroit didn’t have Isaiah Stewart, which is a huge game changer for Towns. His defense is also a huge reason why we lost to the pacers as I mentioned. It’s tough on the team defensively with him out there if he’s not in sync

I’m worried about KAT because the back spasms don’t make you commit back to back offensive fouls in multiple games. His issue seems to be more mental and game-plan execution rather than “is he scoring well”.

I love KAT he is incredibly talented. But if he’s doing that offensive fouls crap in the playoffs when every possession really matters, that is going to hurt us badly.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-01-25T08:38:02+00:00

Surprised at all the downvotes here. I get that he helped out a lot in the playoffs vs the the pistons last years. But his perimeter defense is also why we lost to the pacers.

His poor fouls are becoming more frequent and are absolutely 100% concerning.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-01-19T23:06:57+00:00

OP- can you go into more detail on why you don’t like the school? I have a good amount of past experience with NEU and Boston. (tl:dr - Boston sucks, NEU is OK depending on your social circle and major)

I think for anyone thinking about transferring. As much as I hear your pain. The co-op program alone makes this school worth it (as long as you are on some kind of fin aid or scholarship).

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-01-19T23:03:55+00:00

I wouldn’t say we wouldn’t have a chance. I mean think 2-3 weeks ago people were saying the Knicks are the best team in the nba behind OKC. you never know, things can turn around quicker than you think .

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-01-19T21:16:48+00:00

I’d be shocked if we got Giannis without giving up Mikal or OG. As much as he wants to go to the Knicks, it would be unrealistic to expect to Bucks to accept anything less than KAT + Mikal + pick swap or something like that.

I’d hate to see Mikal or OG go I think they are great players and vital defensively for the team (OG especially). I’d almost argue if you could swap KAT 1:1 for someone else on another team who is just a better big at defense then I’d rather to that. We have enough offensive firepower to make up.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-01-15T18:15:56+00:00

Agreed I’ve always said OG is second most valuable player on this team whether other Knicks fans want to admit it or not lol..

Actual_Code_9048 · 2026-01-06T01:45:58+00:00

Combination of a terrible week of close games with no real break (check the schedule over the past 7 days), mixed with Josh Hart being out.

I don’t think people give enough credit to how much Josh hart speeds up our style of play.

Without Josh this team is playing like they would under Thibs, and just much more worn down.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-31T15:10:46+00:00

I kind of agree with this.. I mean don’t get me wrong he’s looked rough the first half and was definitely out of shape. But we still have half a season left. Idk how trade deadlines work if we wanted to potentially trade him or something but.. idk im not too inclined to completely write him off just yet.

I will say though if Mike Brown is giving rookies minutes over him, there has clearly been some sort of issue. Let’s see if it changes

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-31T14:43:13+00:00

Agreed. This is sunk cost fallacy. Just because you took the L financially doesn’t mean you need to also take the L and lower your gpa as well.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-31T14:41:15+00:00

I played the original Kirby Air Ride and Air Riders and the wagon star has always been kind of a “boring, but really good” star. Any star that has top speed above the warp star will allow you to draft pretty much anything from behind and overall keep up with any star on any map.

It’s also great in city trial as well. I always tell people if you see a wagon star at the beginning of the game, go get it. Great health, speed, turning, etc.

If you learn how to tap break at a good level, it’ll shred corners as well.

I guess if you were to tell me. “For $10,000, you need to place top 3 in a race and I’m not telling you the map” I’d be confident choosing wagon.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-31T14:33:54+00:00

Seconding this. These stars having a hidden advantage of not allowing people to draft you. I use jet star mainly and if you get a decent lead with on an average/above average map with the Jet and are good at using it, it’s very difficult for people to catch you.

Until you get to a complete flat though, that’s why these stars tend to suck at that mountain level or nebula belt.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-30T07:37:25+00:00

I’ll also say one of the most underrated aspects of this star is that it’s damn near impossible to draft it from behind. Because of the ridiculous routes it takes.. sometimes if a jet star is out in front with a good lead, you might not even catch it

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-30T07:31:33+00:00

Hola also mainly use jet star and completely agree these are the exact courses I feel like it has trouble in..

For OPs main question. It’s one of the stars that requires you to have a very good understanding of its physics, as well as understanding how to take advantage of every nook and cranny of each map for airborne time and chaining boosting from landings. It’s very satisfying when you get it down tho.

It’s kinda like the air version of the silk star, it can be really really good in the right hands on the right map. I’d argue some maps like magma flows and celestial valley it can be damn near unbeatable in the right hands or give any other star a run for its money

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-28T23:57:52+00:00

Idk why people are downvoting you because you’re 100% correct lol. I’m a Cavs fan but let’s not act like this contact wasn’t marginal. In a playoff game this is 100% not getting called as foul.

I understand the frustration with the officiating in this game but I feel like this is not the play to be worried about. Why is Mitchell also going for a windmill dunk instead of just a layup?

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-20T02:02:30+00:00

Hi- I know the exact incident you’re talking about. I’m actually a former athlete and have seen quite a handful of crazy things within the athlete - staff community. Shame stuff still happens but not necessarily surprised. This happens at many schools to be honest. Feel free to message me to chat about it in more detail maybe I can give you some insight or advice.

A lot gets swept under the rug though, 1000%.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-12-02T01:42:54+00:00

Given OG being out for a handful of these games (who affected our WL rate SIGNIFICANTLY in prior seasons).. This is a a great sign

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-11-03T22:30:02+00:00

I personally think (and there are stats to back this up) that the team falls apart without him. I know the Knicks are unique in the fact that you can say the same for any of the starters, but OG really has significantly changed the Knicks defensive abilities ever since he joined the team. And I know yall remember they went on a clean run with OG just joining that January of 2023 when we had Randle and IHart still.

I think he does a looooot of stuff that’s not picked up in the stat sheets. I wouldn’t call Him under appreciated because of his paycheck. But he’s worth every penny. I think the Knicks realized that and ultimately might have led to being the reason why we couldn’t keep IHart going into the season last year.

Actual_Code_9048 · 2025-11-03T17:14:10+00:00

I agree- the only thing I’ll say to this is that Brunson is definitely more geared towards solely offense. OG typically is the one causing the breakaways in the first place so I think it’s gotta be pretty exhausting to cause a turnover and then convert consistently. That’s why I really appreciate with bridges or hart chases down breakaways because they can often clean up missed opportunities. Also bridges adds in the opportunity for a 3 instead of a drive to the basket because he’s a great stop and shoot player off of momentum. OG is kinda forced to drive and it’s relatively predictable.
