He passed the ball more to KP than he does KAT, and he had the ball a lot less playing with Luka.

Matter of fact, do we ever run anything like this?

In this instance, you have a guard on Brunson and a big on KP. Opposing teams adjusted for this reason.

Be better No Dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, this is bullshyt. There must have been 5 other fouls like this during the game. Right in front of the ref! Is that Acosta?

No, unfortunately for you and the Thibs defenders, I have found a treasure trove of Brunson passing to KP for three clips that I can turn into GIFs. I already had the stats and was gonna slow roast with those, but the GIFs are good too. Two centers on the floor running action we have never ever seen from ours, with multiple options, WCS screening for Tim off the ball, DFS could slip the screen if both went out to KP.....this is just a better coach.

I'll start making more of them and posting them in the fire thibs thread to rile up the troops 8-)

, for now you get a sample.

Greenie takes all sides at once lol. KAT is not doing his job at work, he's taking 2 hour lunch breaks and sleeping in the janitors closet

Greenie is on my side currently, that is all that matters. If KAT isn't doing his job, isn't it up to the coach to do something about it? Are we rudderless or not, I'm trying to figure out what the coach does since in the world of Gravy he doesn't seem to be responsible for anything at all.

The bench only scored 8 pts. The roster is not versatile at all and does not allow for the starters to have off nights. I dont really think coaches are directly responsible for winning or losing games on a daily basis, it mostly comes down to the overall talent on the roster. The Knicks should win the series, if not then its a bad look for everyone including Thibs.

As long as he opened the door, RJ would also be demanding more oxygen in the offense.

Thibs probably has no idea how to get KAT open and maybe he's a difficult guy to get open or something. Which is why he launches from way deep.

I do think Brunson is out of control for the most part. I'm just calling balls and strikes. He registered two 30-point games and we played horribly in both, particularly on offense.

This has been going on for a while. I think the other team we had was easier for him to play with. But the best player has to know tempo and be careful, especially early on.

He's doing none of that. The answer is elusive but it is not a good plan.

So now we dont need a bench when every other team has a guy on their bench that can drop 15-20 a night. Schroder had 20 and the game winner but thibs should be okay with no weapons at all? Thats the kind of unfairness he had with his roster all season but people think our talent is on par with the Celtics. makes no sense

A playoff game and you're still trying "what about the bench" defense against a team we literally have more talent than, I cannot believe you're serious.

He doesn't feed the KAT.

brunson has no feel for those plays where the open man is behind him. he is decent at kicking it out to the corner if it's in his peripheral vision, but behind his head is a complete blind spot. it's where you can say he has a poor "feel" as you can't expect anyone to see behind them, but he should know where Kat is, and based on where the defenders are - know that he's open behind him.

Jus gonna beat a dead horse and point out that in G1, OG started really hot, and then JB took over all the offense and saved us late (after Payne saved us first). We won, gets papered over.

G2, KAT starts off hot and team looks like it's ready to take command, JB dominates shots and we lose.

The poor defense at times also kills our energy. After Deuce hit a big 3, the team played much better defense the next possession, same with another 3 by MB. The energy fluctuates up and down.

No matter what you think about who is in control of the team, there's no way the team should have a motor that requires some made shots to keep the urgency and intensity up ... in the playoffs.

A playoff game and you're still trying "what about the bench" defense against a team we literally have more talent than, I cannot believe you're serious.

We all knew the bench was going to get minimized in the playoffs. That's why we kept saying Thibs had to preserve his guys in the regular season, so the main guys could step up and play lots of minutes when it mattered. Teams have won by cutting down the bench minutes in the postseason.

I don't think it's worth talking about a bench dude being able to score 15-20. We can't even get KAT to take shots in crunch time of a playoff game. If KAT is not getting shots and he's not even pulling Duren out of the paint, then are we really expecting him to add value on the basis of his defense?
