What’s worse, he seems to actively regress in crunch situations

Towns had a bad game, missed a lot of stuff that’s automatic for him but he’ll be ok

I don’t even know what Mikal is doing out there. Doesn’t even look to score. It’s almost really like Frank. Not even trying to be funny at this point.

The inability to go to your best scorer has been a thing all season.

This coach is unbelievable man


Kat had a horrendous game. He went 3-13 and couldn't board for sht. Gave up an easy board that lead to a wide open 3 at the end.

At some point the players need to be held accountable too.

Kat and novatilikina played like sht

This is where we need a second creator badly. The painful truth is that this team misses Randle’s playmaking in the half court. He bailed us out so many times. Mikal is a joke and KAT needs to be setup by a PG for open looks. That possession where nobody wanted to touch the ball was hilarious. Nobody can create besides Brunson.

All of their devils came out tonight. More so in the 4th.

- Lack of play calling.
- KAT disappearing.
- KAT with some stupid fouls.
- KAT not boxing out on key possessions.
- Hart not getting off a shot.
- Deuce continues his trash play.
- Backup guards going 1-12.
- Trash at the line.
- 10/43 from 3 point range.

I thought Bridges D was good, but taking only 6 shots seems to be a silent protest to me.

Bridges trade looking like a disaster so far

From here on out everything gets blamed on Thibs until further notice. Can’t judge anyone under him. Always putting mfs in a box. Seeing OG and Towns in the corner made my blood boil. No movement what so ever. The sad part is bro went away from the adjustments that worked and Kat got isolated on Luka lmao. Bro……

I honestly just want Thibs the hell off this team as soon as the season ends.

The man is absolutely clueless drawing up plays and is always getting out-coached. Brunson is the offense and with him expected to miss a significant amount of time, this team is gonna be really tough to watch to finish the season.

Like please Rose, get rid of this guy. He is not a modern day coach.

A close game and a game that feels like a playoff game are two different things. He’s not good at in game adjustments and the more stressful the situation the worse it gets. They ain’t gonna fire him this season, but if he stinks it up in the playoffs they need to offer him a FO position and bring somebody else in before they make a trade.

There is talent here he just doesn’t know what to do with it if he has to make a unforeseen adjustment.

no offense, no desire or attempt to get guys involved, get guys going early. remember early in the season where we were getting mikal 3-4 mid range fades early in the game? where is that now? oh wait, I forgot. that was back when we didn't run brunson KAT PnR and kat was invisible on offense. it must require to much brain power to try and generate looks for multiple players. that's why we always default to brunson ISO and hope he scores or finds someone wide open off his creation

we build a lead blitzing luka and then lose the lead and give up timely 3's when we start inexplicably playing drop against him. only days after JJ redick openly says "if you play drop against luka, you die"

only 2 minutes of mitch at the 5, KAT at the 4 against a small lakers team. KAT didn't have it going but wasn't put in position to score anyway. barely touched the ball in the 4th and OT

shamet was the only guy off the bench who could hit a shot tonight so you know what that means. he played the least out of everyone. just 5 minutes. meanwhile deuce and payne combine for 30 minutes and 1-12 shooting. precious DNP yet again after he was getting 20+ minutes a night before mitch returned.

I'm grateful I'm not pushing 50 cus this coach would have me at risk for an aneurysm any day now
