Just look at the offense after a timeout. It's the same garbage.
Team is cooked.

He was very impactful on both ends and finding his teammates.
same way Sims shouldn't see the court
Thibs is stubburn and isn't flexible, Mcbride was one of the better players tonight...taking him down the stretch made zero sense. But gotta stick to the rotation card right...
4-Peat! 22-25 BAF Champion Spurs:
ROSTER
Walker Kessler/Daniel Gafford/Adem Bona
Nikola Jokic/Santi Aldama/Isaiah Stewart

Trading 2 players for Kat hurt the depth.
Not enough bench scoring
JB can't punish defenders for the doubles when he passes it to Josh Hart and he's reluctant to shoot

Laughable to let that French bum go off for 32 when he averages 9 a game. Team needs a lot of work
also 33% from the field and 21% from 3
and we made him look like Tatum out there
wtf is going on.
Two passes lead to open looks cause we are doubling all the time.

Coming out of a to down 3 we settle for a Brunson 3 with no movement no screen just jab step elbow 3. Terrible ball.

They aren’t playing well might be overrated idk, all I know is they get off to slow starts and keep playing from behind. They can’t defend and let teams go on huge runs to finish games. Only 7 games in but alarming stuff happening

Towns good don’t outweigh his bad. BBQ chicken in the paint. A bad defending point guard and bad defending center is not the recipe to winning formula and towns ain’t no Jokic

Re: GT: Knicks at Hawks 11/6/24 7:30PM EST
They are letting ppl maul Brunson, he is taking some real bad shots and when he finds someone open(hart) he refuses to shoot. Sims has no business playing at all, man mistimes jumps to rebound, cant defend can’t shoot. The fix is
Brunson/Payne
Bridges/Mcbride
OG/Hart
KAT/Achiuwa
Mitch/55
They need Mitch but he’s never healthy. Not sure how this gets fixed, the hawks are an AWFUL team

We played am attacking defense vs pacers after getting embarrassed against Boston. This is coaching, don’t give me that. We have respected wing defenders. Shouldn’t be a layup line while Towns is trying to also box out.

Timberwolves knew this and this is why they went and paid a premium for Gobert. KAT at the 5 has never worked.

It’s like when lil bitches make subliminal records, if it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it

everyone knew it wouldn't work. the hope was with hart-bridges-og they could at least minimize his negative impact defending the rim. so far those guys are getting screened off and thibs drop defense simply doesn't work with Kat.
thibs needs to adjust and stop playing deep drop - or abandon the idea of Kat at the 5.
really makes you wonder if thibs actually OK'd the trade or he didn't really have a choice. Randle at the 5 would have been even worse but i imagine we would be starting sims right now lol
