random thought on plus minus. i know it doesn't really matter, but should free throws and therefore plus/minus be accredited to who was on the floor when the foul occurred rather than who is in at the time of the free throw?
for example at the end we fouled intentionally to empty the bench - bench comes in and immediately has a -2 plus minus despite that not having anything to do with them.
anyways often times i like the way the team plays when brunson is on the bench. obviously brunson is the engine but he's so ball dominant and we don't push the ball as much off makes/misses. ball movement is better and Kat is featured more. ideally they could figure out a balance when brunson is used to his strengths but not at the detriment of ball movement, pace, etc. and obviously defense is a lot better with Deuce or Cam is in there instead of him.
this was a nice feel good win. knicks have done a good job righting the ship after bad losses/stretches.
looking forward to OG and mitch coming back. for the "no way you play mitch with Kat" people - this coach had hart-precious-Huk out there. i don't think he cares about spacing
I think mitch and Kat is a great pairing depending on matchups. against a team like the celtics no, but lots of teams that rely more on dribble penetration, paint scoring and/or rebounding - he will help a lot.
