PG: that sucked

[HerSports85]

This team is made to be an offensive juggernaut and we cant crack 100 against the Fn Pistons. I'm not sure I can take more of Thibs man. I might throw something at the TV next time I see his azz.

Throw something for me too.

the metal bats are to be used the whole game, not like a rescue inhaler.

KAT has shrunk in the playoffs throughout his career. It’s not surprising to see him struggle. Even with the Pistons throwing double teams at him you still want to see more assertiveness and aggression from him and he just didn’t bring that. He’s probably more ideal in a 3rd option role and this team doesn’t have that true 2nd option. Not that it’s needed to beat the Pistons though, I think we can and should still win this series but after that we need to seriously evaluate this roster and ask ourselves are they really capable of being better or is this basically the peak of who we are

AGREED!

Wth happened to playing Cam Payne

i knew this team wasn't gonna be sh*t in the summer. and it's exactly as i thought.

and on top of that i let a fat guy trick me into a bet where i have to rely on an old man and a fat guy to win. i hate this place lol

Tbf, you end up leaving in the summer so the bet won't really matter.

what is there even to talk about in the summer ? it's nice out.....go outside realgm. touch grass as they say.

I stopped drinking the Kool Aid after I saw how soft this team is. It started in Phoenix with Royce O’Neal then Draymond in Golden State then Cade/Duren alley-oop to end the game in our final regular season match with them. Guys openly disrespect this team and our team lays down to it. No Spine from this group.

Somebody on the GB called Thibs the valedictorian of the class of coaches that make teams better but can't get them over the hump. It's pretty apt.

This is his last shot to prove differently and the sand is running out.

now i have to miss a game of consequence driving back from a funeral sunday. fun times.

[G_K_F]

they're not gonna trade bridges now. because they're not getting anything close to what they gave up so it's admitting a mistake. they can't do that so soon.

They have to bite the bullet and throw in Bridges with Towns for someone.

Sorry, fellas, but the obvious happened that I said the day the KAT trade made:

The team became soft and aren't playoff performers.

Both KAT and Bridges have completely changed the dynamic and mentality of this squad for the worse and no coaching change will matter much without one or both of these dudes moved.

These guys cannot win meaningful games because they're not built for it. Talented players but better off in Charlotte or some **** like that.

Problem is - does this front office have the balls to trade either of them and/or fire Thibs?

I feel like this front office is going to run it back with everyone and add a bench piece or two with a center. And that will be a terrible, terrible mistake. They're about to enter the 'good treadmill team' era. Aka a team good enough to be a top 5 team in their conference but zero shot at a championship.

with the apron rules it's pretty hard to add pieces to this team. they can really only trade someone in the rotation for someone else who makes similar money.

True. we fumbled the bag as usual.

We only have one shot to change the dynamic completely - Towns and Bridges for Giannis and Portis. Throw in a first in 2039 or some ****.

I know the Bucks would prefer to rebuild if they trade Giannis and other teams have more to offer but maybe we can swing it. ****, the NBA forced Luka to Los Angeles. Maybe they can force Giannis here instead of OKC or some ****.

It feels like JB and KAT play on two different teams.

I don't mind **** on KAT, but this was a coaching problem because you can't tell me there's zero offensive plays out there in the league that can get KAT a couple of 3's.

You don't.

Brunson was pretty damn bad too with feeding him. But how do you not put KAT with his ass to the basket a few plays? Screen him on the perimeter? Something.

[Butch718]

I’ve been watching this team since 94, and I can honestly say that this is the most clueless 50 win I have seen in my lifetime. Granted there’s only been 7 of those teams, but this is by far the worst of the bunch. To look this awful in what should be a modern day offense, and with the personnel they have is complete malpractice by Thibs. Like how can someone with his coaching history be this bad? How do you not force the p&r with Kat and Brunson with their skill sets and abilities?

How is this team just so unprepared and unfocused this time of the year?
