That’s what we on tonight?
If they lost you’d blame him for not going to the obvious answer Cam Payne?
Or do you appreciate the adjustment?

The criticism is even funnier when you account for him being 8th in the league in assists (essentially tied with CP3) while being basically the 3rd most efficient ISO player in the leaguerobillionaire wrote:thebuzzardman wrote:Ah yes, the Brunson is selfish, can't run point agenda is coming up again.
Well he’s an attacking and scoring PG. That’s what he’s great at. If you have Allen Iverson on your team you don’t tell him to go out there and pretend like he’s a pass first PG you tell him to go score points and pass when it’s available
This fanbase is infatuated with a player like Kolek who will get 8 assists and 0 points because I guess that’s more savvy or whatever than Brunson scoring 34 points. And I say this as someone whose favorite players were Jason Kidd and Rondo. But when you have a great player who can score like Brunson the strategy is to take advantage of that and lean in your strengths, not try to fit a square peg in a round hole and tell him to stop shooting and try to be something he’s not

Reminded me of the 2011 nba finals game 2 when LeBron and Wade were dancing and goofing around up 15 and the Mavs closed the game on a 21-3 run or something like that to flip the series. You wanna be a cornball you better wait until it’s over

Mikal was locked in. Thibs still made the correct call to roll with the hot hand, but I thought Mikal was super active and physical defensively.
100%. Cam was insane. The team looked alright overall. It will be tough once in a while if the Pistons hit everything for stretches. I am concerned about Brunson though. But we have many options, many counters, quite some depth and defensive ability. We can always go to the Mitch+Towns lineup so let’s hope the coach understands that.
