If Thibs was our coach, everyone on the team would be in wheelchairs.


So, he's Lee's puppeteer, then.

What does that mean?

I actually thought this was Miller's best game of the year. The 3pt was falling, tried hard to get his teammates involved in half court offense. Showed some inside game to go with his outside game. It's a shame they stopped going to him for a quarter and a half after a hot start.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Was rocking the Salaun jersey at MSG tonight...and obviously he goes down 2 minutes and 20 seconds into the game. I mean come the hell on with the injuries already.

I will say that we have seen the offense change a ton over the last 5 games. Instead of just running non-stop pick and roll we are running more screen the screener type of offense to get Brandon the ball, but we are still one too dimensional. Having Nick back has helped bring more gravity to the rim and has opened up some stuff that previously wasn't there.

Holy cow was the Diabate and Nick lineup terrible though. This is why signing Wong on the 2way vs someone who might actually play was a bit of a headscratcher, but I guess that just goes to show how difficult it is to find big wings that can play in the NBA just hanging in the Gleauge, much easier to find me first guards.

Also, I think it might be time to just say screw it and start Seth Curry until Melo gets back. He at least gives us another scoring option in the starting lineup. When Brandon was out to start the year, Seth was playing 25+ mins per game as a starter. Not sure why we pivoted away from that being a good way to off-set scoring issues when we are down players.

It was a play on the implication that everyone would be injured under Thibs (because without Thibs, everyone is already injured).
