Closer to last years lineup:

Mitch
KAT (at least equal to Randle at the 4 defensively)
OG
Bridges
Brunson

The inside for us is so soft man.

We don't play 5 out, we just play small, we took less threes than them. For 5 out to work you have to take a high volume of threes, and Hart makes that hard because he's guarded by centers who just help off him.

pretty much

thibs was the biggest problem he can solve a lot of the other stuff if he actually did a bit of adjusting

Towns should have taken that shot.

Our coach felt he didn't belong in the play.

Dude is 7ft but we have our 6ft PG taking contested shots all night long.

Down 3 with a chance to tie it and then just didn't execute on either end...Thibs' teams early season inconsistency is a thing.

sure but the offensive game plan is a lil concerning

and maybe fronting senguin in the post would have helped

Sims should not be playing. 4 on 5 both sides of ball

Quick sand game

Last years defense was no question tighter in the paint. No question. What is screaming to me is the need for an elite rim protector to play matchups with. 5 out can be lethal against certain teams and certain schemes but there are times we need to play with better rim protection underneath.

Out coached, flat shots, and bullied in the interior. I can't hate on KAT's effort, but getting bullied by Sengun should never happen.

some of you need to watch other teams. This rocket team was the second best team we've faced. They were talented, deep, and have been paying together for 1-2 seasons. 6 Knicks weren't going to beat them. Period.

Brunson outplayed by Van Fleet.

Towns outplayed by Sengun.

McBride outplayed by anyone who was guarding him.

towns early foul trouble on some BS and having to rely on sims. Would help to have Precious and that other guy who never shows up for work

He shouldn't be playing because he's useless. Mitch who shoots no 3's would have won this game for us.

yeah same, while the refs. we played terrible and got outcoached. our offensive game plan is a lil concerning considering our talent.

i knew they were good and hustled but we're better and if we hustled half as hard as we did the last 2 years we would have won comfortably. i can't blame the trade either because towns was one of the only dudes doing work on that front

refs saved us from an even uglier loss - sims team leading +14
