Boston Celtics fans are not fazed by the newest blockbuster trade by the New York Knicks. The Knicks upgraded at the five by getting the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Karl Anthony-Towns.
Fans went on X and posted memes, stats, and all sorts of things comparing the Knicks and Celtics. One fan pointed out that while the Knicks have KAT, the Celtics have Kristaps Porzingis, who is a monster as well.

Another fan showed the statline that KAT had while being guarded by Porzingis last season, and it was not flattering.
Karl-Anthony Towns in his one game against Kristaps Porzingis last season:

7 Points
10 Rebounds
3 Assists
30/14/0
7 Turnovers
Fouled out in 27 minutes.
One fan made a meme comparing the Celtics core of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Porzingis to the Knicks’ OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and KAT. It seems like the fan does not think the Knicks players are on the same level as the Celtics.

Overall, fans of Boston are showing they are not worried about the Knicks, and are still confident that the C's will beat them in the regular season and in the playoffs if they meet.
