btw we were playing a lot of 5 out spacing with Deuce in this game and our spacing was great. Led to so many open trail 3's for KAT.

I forgot all about that game. We had an elite offense and it all fell apart when teams figured out KAT :nonono:





Josh Hart missed this game, and when he came back he shot 29% from three for the rest of the season. The coach never adapted.

Towns has been averaging 23.1 ppg on 52.4 FG% and 40.0 3P% over his entire career now. They won’t figure him out any time soon.

It took Hart telling the coach to start Mitch over himself to finally do it in the playoffs.

That's when Mitch got healthy enough to start. Imagine all the crying if thibs started him too soon and he got injured again.

The biggest issue was we basically never fully committed to 5 out under thibs.

You'd prefer if Deuce started instead of Mitch for 5 out?

during the season it's really not that important but in the playoffs we got exposed with kat at center. you can't win it all that way. you're gonna see both at different times anyway.

Three preseason games and have not experimented with Deuce with the starters yet for 5 out...wouldn't this be the time to at least test it. But then again every coach knows how bad KATs defense at center is so maybe thats not happening.

Can't even watch the game because my Gotham sports app on my phone is telling me that there's an update for the app even though there isn't and I can't bypass it or anything. So stupid.
