Brunson is not ok. He's tough as nails so if he came off immediately he knows it's bad.

i think brunson will be ok. he historically goes straight to the locker room when he experiences pain or discomfort to get checked out before returning. wise precaution since the injury seemed mechanical

How tf can SGA and Tatum fully extend their forearm into the defender on every drive, but if KAT even slightly extends his off arm it's a big deal to the refs

We have the hardest schedule in the nba now so that's likely gonna lead to a coaching change or a big trade.
The roster is fine, the general directing the men isn't. It's not at all debatable, give this roster to Mazzulla or any other coach under 60 and we'd be taking 50 threes a game like the Celtics, instead we're 24th in the league. The man has a sports car and is using it like it's an F-150.
That Thibs pack gonnna hit like the powerball
There is def some roster issues going on. KAT should not be our anchor at the 5 on defense. He has a DFG% of 66.7% protecting the rim in the January. Love how dominant he is on offense but we're misplaying him at the 5. Hopefully Mitch will help mitigate those issues or we can trade for someone like Myles Turner. Another roster issue was overpaying like crazy for Mikal. There was just not a need for him. Mikal can't space the floor since his shot is broken and his defense is ass like it's been for the past couple of years. Along with those issues, Thibs is playing our guys a lot of mins so there is plenty of blame for everyone. And then you have Josh hart talking about our players have egos and agendas. This team is just a mess. I'm missing the game rn, but at least we know we can beat a bucks team that has doc rivers and washed dame.
For the month of Jan, Evan Mobley is at 64% DFG, and IHart is at 62%, never mind the fact Tom has KAT playing in a drop. How can you ask a guy that isn't a rim protector to play in a drop then blame him for the results? The team has looked exhausted, and he gets out coached against good teams and coaches, but that's the players fault? At what point is it ever the coach's fault for a lot of these issues? The entire team went cold from three at the same time after playing unreasonable minutes. If Tom isn't to blame for any of these things, he shouldn't get any praise when things go right because it's being established that coaching doesn't matter. You kept saying this isn't a Tom roster, okay, change the coach.
