I don't know if he could have predicted Hart would just start running around. Hart could have called the timeout if he thought he couldn't get the ball inbounds. Maybe Thibs should have just called the timeout immediately. I don't know

Difficult to do when the head coach thinks you can't create your own shot, and has you stuck in the corner on every offensive possession.


It’s just not usually his position on the court. Brunson is usually there and towns also likes to shoot from the top of the key and they’re usually the top options.

OG has really taken that 3rd option role but maybe Mikal needs to be getting more touches and OG save more energy for defense. But he wants his shots too. Just hard to keep everyone involved sometimes when we have so many options

It's March 13th, on a West Coast trip, missing our best player... This was a great opportunity for other guys to step up and sharpen up via larger roles. It was a great teaching moment, and confidence builder, for future tight games.

KAT was quiet scoring wise but hit some clutch shots and had that terrific defensive sequence on Avdija. Am sure a lot here would crucify him if he was the one who fouled Scoot instead of Mitch.

Thibs has been misusing Bridges, Hart, and KAT all season long. Get a real coach in here man.

the minute scoot touched it last...you auto call a timeout to advance it...inbounding under your own basket is basketball 101 no no.

You advance it to midcourt so you have the entire court to pass it too...and if you turn it over its not under your own basket

we had 2 timeouts!!!!

its funny it takes an injury to our best player to realize our HC is holding this team back.

At least we know that the Mikal Bridges who played like a star in his first season with the Nets is still somewhere in there.

When we get a good coach we'll be able to utilize Brunson as a PG who plays in a more effective team oriented offense.

Then Brunson can put the team on his back when needed as opposed to the way Thibs uses him all game long

Thibby actually had everyone around 35-37 minutes prior to OT. Mikal got what he wanted. Let's see how long it lasts.

I was watching Portland announcer and it was so good. His voice dipped as the shot went in, pure heartbreak. "Bridges for the pull up! and its in."
