thankfully my ankle is better so I have a healthy distraction from the pressure of life - cause this fcking team isn't helping.

I really wanted that fcking cup and thought we had a legit shot. we're so fcking talented and that's how we played. embarrassing. would be one thing if we just got outplayed. but we looked soft and unprepared on both ends of the court.

We're a jumpshooting team.

This is very likely a win with Donovan Mitchell on the roster

Yes he has. He'd passing, scoring and not defending.

-22 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS
-Bad timing to miss open 3's
-22 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS
-Missed FTs for the 3rd straight game that could've turned the game.
-22 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS!
-Allowed the Hawks to get in transition and spread the floor by baiting 2 on the ball.
-TWENTY-TWO! OFFENSIVE! REBOUNDS!
-Mitch needs to come back

Mikal/OG went 2 for 14 from three. JB had one of the worst games of the season. KAT couldn't defend anything. He probably had at least 5 alleys on his head in the second half alone.

Blessing in disguise. Guys get to rest up now.

KATs defense was not bad and not the issue

Not sure what you were watching out there. He constantly loses his man on rotations. He couldn't defend the lob at all tonight. He is very slow to rotate. He is stuck standing and watching the ball handler and never sees his man. We need Mitch back badly to hide KATs horrendous defense if we plan on going anywhere.

Incredibly disappointing after an awesome first half. Sadness. I also don't want to see the Hawks in the final, would have been so much more fun if it was the Knicks. :nonono:

Brunson is playing super selfish …our players are getting zero rhythm

And we just made the same mistake with Precious IMO.

How about a hot fresh cup of Knicks disappointment instead

He barely even shot in the first half. He was forcing things in the second half bc the team needed his scoring. What was frustrating was how many times he did end up getting Trae or a big in front of him instead of Daniels and he was doing nothing in those moments.

We are one piece away and that piece is already on the roster. Mitchell Robinson needs to get healthy. And with all this time they’ve giving him, once he’s back there better be no more injuries. Cuz if he gets hurt again, at that point you gotta move on and trade him for the best shotblocking big you can get.

First it was “things will get much better once precious comes back” now it’s “wait for Mitch”

Nah man what we are waiting for is a new coach. Role players won’t save us. 15-20 mins a game from Mitch isn’t making us world beaters. Definitely won’t do anything for our stagnant unimaginative offense that can collapse at any moment if the opposing coach puts a lanky guy on Brunson and switches on defense.

We need thibs gone asap

They beat the Cavs and Celtics as well. Hawks are the reason they're not even in the cup.

Captain says team gets week off.
Still love the guy though.
Team definitely need this rest.
We need full squad ready to go.
