It has its moments...but only in spurts lately.

when you rely on the 3 so much that's how it is. feast or famine.

i worry about that in the playoffs. if you rely on it so much, a couple bad shooting games from 3 can you cost you a couple games and that might be the series.

Down by 4 isnt the worst case scenario after brown kept that terrible line up out there for too long. Brunson really needs to wake up cuz he’s dragging the team down with a bad shot selection and even worst defense. Have to try to get Gobert into foul trouble cuz he’s made the paint a no go zone.

Brunson with 7 points on 33% shooting is crazy.

This is not the Brunson I know.

Josh Hart gotta do the same in second half. They were literally playing off him.

It's harder to move the ball against good teams. Especially when we have little chemistry yet.

Two years ago, this n*gga would've had 4 turnovers by now.

Right...I was relying on the usual dumb play, instead we get the opposite.

that basically the difference right now

The worry is that Brunson and KAT don't always play well off each other so we need KAT to keep cooking and Brunson to get going too.

Cut down on the TOs, defend the 3 better, and less Clarkson minutes in the 2nd half and they will be just fine

Randle cleaned that up years ago. He's just getting better at the reads.

Even if brunson isn't scoring his normal self I need him to stop losing his man on simple rotations

he has probably directly been directly involved in 4-5 wide open twolves 3's because he is for some reason over helping and can't recover.

That’s it. 80 % of the game it’s a stagnant mess

We did it consistently against the Cavs , Celts, and Bulls ....Brown has to find the right combos while the lagging player catch up.I like that Hart is regaining his confidence.

No one was expecting this game to be easy. I am semi impressed with how we are playing. Offense has looked good in spurts. That run we went on in the 2nd was beautiful to watch. Still a little confusion on the defensive end with switches leading to wide open 3s.

Third quarter has always been our worst. Lets see what adjustments Brown makes.

HEZI · Post #437 » by **HEZI** » Thu Nov 6, 2025 1:48 am

Defense continues to be awful. We need to attack them more. Gobert can’t guard KAT, we should just exploit that mismatch and work them inside more.

F N 11 · Post #438 » by **F N 11** » Thu Nov 6, 2025 1:49 am

We need to lock in. Literally a few Josh Hart bricks from being down 10.

Defensive teams get us to go back to iso garbage. We gotta play team ball on both ends.

Right.

Understandable though...new system and old habits tend to die hard.
