Nah.

Great game to practice feeding the KAT. And hopefully get Brunson rolling again.

It might not be a trap game but that Detroit team beat Maxey and Philly- I'm not saying im afraid of Philly-
just saying we need to respect Detroit...I think that may have been Stu's point...

We are a team still coming together. Players still settling into their roles. Forming an identity. So I could see anything happen on Friday. But if we continue to play more like we did vs Pacers and Heat , I believe we will win the game pretty soundly.

Keep in mind Brunson himself hasn't totally figured out his best game yet playing with Towns. Imagine when he does.

Perfectly said bro

I'm not feeling that Donte loss so much now. I think Deuce will fill that role nicely.

I agree...for me- Dontee was an exceptional shooter and decent defender. I think between Mikal and Deuce- it made Donte a luxury
Wingo...

Hart is the rare guy that kinda sucks without pressure or adversity and actually becomes greater with more adversity.

Knicks need to pass him the ball with 3 seconds or less on the clock. LOL

As much as I loved what Donte brought to the team last year, we were much better positioned to lose him than Mitch and the Wolves needed him more than Mitch.

Probably. Both Josh and Jalen are trolls so I don't think Mikal is any different

My guess is it was some drill he was doing to change the shot. But maybe.

I wasn't too worried about it. Mikal's a pro's pro.

Keeping the Hart theme going in preparation for the game:

In all seriousness he probably was using the preseason to test it out. Once things went haywire in Boston he probably said to hell with it.

I know he saw the fanbase having a meltdown too :lol:

To unlock this team, still need a few more things to happen

1) cap starters' minutes to 34-35 mins max
2) defensive rotation and gameplan has to be refinded
3) Huk over Sims until Precious returns, then all Precious
4) Find spot minutes ~10mins for a 9th bench guy (Pac for now)

#3 and #4 should get our bench production up so Thibs doesn't have to overwork the starters every single night. I may even transition Payne to Kolek at some point so we can improve our ball movement even further and shots find KAT, Mikal, Deuce, in better rhythm.
