With thibs predictable offense it always made the defense have an easy night. Every team knew what we were doing. No easy nights for the defense with Mike's offense

The scoring is gonna be super balanced this year. It will be tough defensively to stop this attack

Not feeling this starting lineup in the half court

KAT is gonna be less effective under Mike brown. Thibs gave KAT posts ups down low so he can feast. KAT is just camping behind the 3 point line pump faking for wild drives so far.

Never saw Thibs coaching players on the court or calling timeouts.

Did Brunson run up the court that fast last season?

i was just thinking the same thing. kat is gonna be the odd guy out more than people here realize if we're gonna play fast like this.

Does Brunson ever look good early in the season?

Ball over halfcourt in 1 sec
Wow

We were already a finals team that should able been there if it wasn’t for that game 1 fluke. We beat the defending champs. Indiana might have won the chip if Haliburton didn’t get injured in game 7. So as far as I’m concerned we were right at the goal line. Now we have a lot of added depth which was a main weak spot. Like you said health will be the X factor but the talent and depth in the roster is there.

Brunson going to love this offense when he sees his field goal percentage at 55% lol.

They gave sixers 2 points when Brunson was at the line why?

Thibs got embarrassed. Six 3’s by Nesmith in the 4th and no timeout is crazy

Having no bench really hurt us. We seemed to rectify that with these additions

Not to make this about Thibs - because the differences are obvious but Brown has the depth to coach guys to play a lot faster/harder and shave some minutes off to allow them to do it. Guys can go all out and not worry about being gassed later in the game.

I genuinely wonder if Thibs gave Brunson the directive to slow walk the ball up the court or if it was just him conserving energy. Either way it's nice to see them playing fast. You always have the slow play ISO down the stretch if needed as a curve ball. But play fast and get free points in transition when you can.

I think Brunson has more fast break layups in this game than he probably had in any 10+ game stretch last season.
