thibs the goat, i can't believe some people wanted him gone

I was wrong.

I wanted him gone at the end of last year because I thought he got outcoached vs spo and the heat.

then they went on to beat the Celtics

now I understand that things can be much much worse.

thibs is a top 5 coach.

Not sure about top 5 but Thibs is solid coach with his type of players. And EVERYBODY is going to get outcoached by Spo. That guy is just steps ahead above everyone else. It just doesn't make sense how he is able to get his team, no matter who is on the roster, in top form at both ends and especially shooting come playoff time after taking the regular season off.

Yeah I was wrong too but it was because of Burks. Or until we lose tonight and then I'll want him fired.

The 46 minute report is pretty good.

Offensive rebounds kinda skews this

Our shooting % has been horrendous

It's hard to say offensive rebounding skews anything when a major pillar of our offensive philosophy, from our alignments, shot profiles, and post-rebound actions are designed to maximize offensive rebounding opportunities and convert them against a scrambled defense

Yep. It's just a continuation of last year. I'd even go as far to say as the front office planned for it, Thibs coached it, and the players executed it.

I'd even say that the reason we haven't seen it this much this year is because Brunson has been absolutely brilliant running this team offense on his own, up until now.

They're putting everything into stopping Jalen and we're riding whoever else is hot and crashing the boards while he draws everyone out. In the last game, JB only had one bad stretch in the 4th where he should have played the decoy more. Otherwise, he has to keep attacking to keep them blitzing him.

In conclusion, Josh Hart.

Yea, I think the 4th is what Jalen was referencing when he said he can play with more poise. There were times when he attacked and they helped off of Donte instead of Josh. He must stay aggressive and attack, but be ready to make the right read. They are using his aggression against him because they are speeding him up and he's missing things he usually notices.

What he can't do is just go out there and play like the immortal Ish Smith.
