Shamelessly told a bold faced lie. Last time he changed a starting lineup and it wasn’t due to an injury it was when he finally started rose over Payton in the hawks series years ago after elfrid stank it up every game. That was the last game of the series and was too late at that point

If he removes hart from the starting lineup I would be surprised if it’s only when we’ve already lost 3. Otherwise the stubborn bozo will stick with what obviously isn’t working


Next time, he wont need to think about changing the starting lineup - when he is no longer the coach

Even then, 6 shot attempts in 44 minutes is unacceptable. I get we still scored 135 points, but when it got to the end of the game, the Pacers were just doubling and trapping Brunson. Need another threat out there. Can’t just play 4 on 5.


too bad, thibs will ride josh until the day he gets fired.
josh is not going to get benched. He is the embodiment of thibs' playstyle preference


There are times when Deuce should be in for Josh, on possessions where another shooter would make better spacing for JB to penetrate and/or kick out to him. How often do we see Josh as the desperation kickout receiver, because he's the one not being guarded tightly at all.


dont get me wrong, I'd love to have his role/minutes reduced...i am just saying that thibs is deeply in love with him. He is the new alec burks. If Brunson wasnt the top dog, Hart would be the lead ballhandler

Even if we win and I hope like hell we do, we still need to win one in Indiana just to get back in this series. And they beat us 3-0 there in the playoffs last year, they’re a tough home team. So we have a tall task ahead. Hopefully they’re up for it

After sleeping on the collapse of game one, I think we’re about to get gentlemen swept. That was one of the most epic choke jobs in the history of sports and there may be no coming back from that. I’ll be glad to be wrong, but a team that can let that happen is not a team that can beat IND four times out of seven.

What a joke when Thibs tells us he’s always examining his lineup

So he’s deep in the granular detail on game prep, but can’t call a timeout when you’re up 5 with 22 seconds on the shot clock and 32 in the game

Riiiiiiiiiiight

Everyone in the starting lineup literally plays better when Hart is on the bench. Especially Mikal

I had to do it. No choice really. I saw the picture cause im addicted to Twitter. I opened it absentmindedly, when I vowed to stay off after the loss, but couldn't cause im a sheep, well anyways, after seeing this pic it fcked with me so bad I had no choice but to just fully embrace it. Either it reminds me to not care about this wretched team or it's funny cause we came back to win the series.
