We are most definitely in a rut shooting 3s compared to earlier in the season. Thank goodness the defense is a bit better.

Watching the Cavs game yesterday, their offense is nothing impressive. They just hit their open threes remarkably well. Our offense looks boatloads beyond theirs. That's the power of making threes, particularly the open ones.

A lot easier to hit 3s consistently when you aren’t playing on tired legs less than halfway into the season

I have to say I was not familiar with his game. Thought he was a journeyman fringe scorer type. Being on back to back bad teams really hurt my perception of him. Pretty much how we got him for nothing.

Same thing with OG. Have to see him to appreciate him and being hurt a lot and being on reports hid that. But people still knew from big moments.

You're right. This also explains why we couldn't miss earlier in the season, we were not tired. Something's gotta change

Brunson & Kat are the kind of superstars that makes those around him better.

Whiteside led the league in blocks too. He can protect the rim but he can't move his feet. He's a cone when he's out there on the perimeter

Towns David Lee/Kevin Love football passes not being talked about enough. It was such a huge deal with Levin Love. Towns just adds it casually to his bag.

Cam isn’t shooting well but he’s had some very nice assists hitting guys in rhythm, particularly on the break

Needs to be awards for players like him. He can easily put up big numbers on high effeciency but that’s not what’s needed from him.


It should be the Gusto Award

Tbh, it's between him and og for me on this squad. I love uniquely talented players. And they both have such a huge impact on winning that not many other players can replicate.


Absolutely. Truly a guy that doesn’t look at the box score and just wants to make quality plays and turn up every night

Yep. Always take the player with one elite skill over any Jack-of-all-trades type.
I dunno.

It feels like we have provided the right environment for him to thrive. He is honestly closing in on a max contract value kind of guy
