Beauty about Brunson is he will learn and adjust…Randle wouldn’t

a good coach would've seen this and had OG posting Trae up every time. But oh I forgot, it's not a coaching issue smh

KAT will probably be flipped this summer or the following summer. It seems inevitable…

This is why I think KAT at the 5 is not the long-term plan here. Mitch will start. McBride should also be starting instead of Hart. Both of these players will hide the defensive shortcomings of KAT/Brunson.

@guan0

kat's defense is suspect at best and isn't why we lost that game

His defense and Brunson stinking it up is why we lost

ATL have an annoyingly high amount of good wings. They can probably trouble any team

I don’t think there’s any chance that happens. Thibs will be fired before that

Also, once again, switch heavy defense, no drive and kicks to get the defense to bend to their will.

Brunson was awful and didn't move the ball or setup the offense fast enough this game. Hawks aren't THAT good.

And finally, Thibs' rotations were awful. Why didn't they run post-ups for Towns to destroy that defense?

I already did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven’t watched a full game since the hornets game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A trade needs to be made or a coaching change needs to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because currently this team ain’t it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God I can’t wait for us to play OKC and Towns score a 50 spot on Shart…

Absurd hot take …gtfoh

Just my opinion… we’re not gonna like seeing both Brunson and KAT get hunted and torched by every contending team we face in the playoffs. It’s not a recipe for title success. We could put our heads in the sand about it but the truth of it will be clear as day in the playoffs.

The lob wasn’t his to defend in that coverage, but I don’t think we should play drop defense with KAT

Exactly, except tonight he wasn't leading and he allowed the length to alter his usually good shots. Normally, he would destroy taller players.

Mitch might not even play for us this season. Even if he’s not traded, it’s not likely that Thibs will move away from his current starting five…

An asinine take. Some folks show up after losses just to spew nonsense.

Yea I’m not blaming KAT as much as the penguin’s defensive scheme… guy had 20 & 20 with 5 assists 3 blocks and 3 steals while getting the shyt kicked out of him in front of the refs without any calls, and getting everything called on him… I dunno how much more the guy could do
