Ok, that's **** weird. That's a really weird quote.

Mikal about to ball out though.

Mikal is saying it as a compliment, not alluding to issues.

He better ball out, he got the last coach fired but seriously I don’t think it’s a weird quote. Just acknowledging the fact of the nba landscape.

Gotcha. So like, he's saying everyone is tuned in?

That's a weird way to say it but ok.

For the record, I think we're gonna come out smokin' tomorrow. Just a hunch. Brunson looks locked and in GREAT condition.

As far as the game, I certainly hope so. It sounds like we're going to get more 5 out than Brown intended, so we will really get to test the concept.

If both of those guys are out, Diawara should get some reps right off the bat. I'm not gonna lie, that really intrigues me. If his skillset translates to the big games he could be a REALLY valuable player.

The issue with Mike Brown is that he loses his locker room quickly and players tune him out. Hopefully he was able to learn from past experiences.

Mikal got Thibs fired confirmed!

[3toheadmelo]

Mikal looked like the same player in preseason to me. Great at middies and will hustle occassionally, but still really awful 3 point shooting.

[NoStatsGuy]

bring back thibs!!

He actually attempted layups and hit some atb 3s and his hitch looked gone. All that said if our season's success is dependant in him we are fcked.

But I dont get how this falls on mikal. It's on kat and brunson to mesh better. And mike brown is the one to make it happen.

I think Mikalikina will be around the same as last year. He didn't look too much different in pre season to me. He'll always be a solid player but not worth the superstar package we gave to Brooklyn.

To me the most concerning thing I saw in the preseason was how uncomfortable KAT looked in this new offense. And now he's saying he doesn't know what his role is. I think he's the odd guy out.

see i didn't see the hustle last year til the playoffs. he played mad lackadaisical and smiled after making critical errors. that's what pissed me the **** off, not missed shots. he looked more locked into the game in preseason
