What a dog fight!!!!!!!

We can do this!!!!!!!

We playing 2nd and 3rd string opposition. This shouldn't really be a dog fight. Team looks disinterested. Thibs losing the locker room IMO.

If it means Bridges, Hart and OG don't play 40 minutes I'm fine with it. Shamet is just to buy the starters time and not burn them out, not to win games. There are only 13 benches that are net positives, ours is one of them because while they can't score, neither can you.

You mean when they are out there with 2 or 3 other starters? Yeah sure I get why they might be positive in net rating but individually they stink and the more they play the worse they are that’s why they don’t play. We have the worst bench production in the league especially without Deuce.

And we have one of the best starting 5s when they're fresh. Our ORTG/DRTG both fall off a cliff in the 4th quarter of games, mainly because the starting 5 is tired. We have a top 10 defense for the first 3 quarters of the game and the 27th ranked defense in the 4th, that is solely because of fatigue. Whether the bench sucks or not is really irrelevant, they absolutely have to play just so the starters have more gas in the tank.

So whether we win or lose is irrelevant, what matters is ortg and drtg? The bench playing more equals more losses. I rather watch the starters and give ourselves a chance to win than watch us lose games with that crappy bench

Sims is not good enough to play garbage time in a back to back but is good enough to get 17 minutes in a half when KAT is out. Make it make sense

Sims makes me miss Bargnani

Hate to be right people blamed the bad defense on Towns.

Perimeter defense is cheeks
Thibs has no offense

Are guys tired or cheeks? We watch lesser teams play with more energy. Is it scheme? Defense is really cheeks.

Brunson is 4/12

He has to be better

kNicksGmen · Post #229 » by **kNicksGmen** » Tue Jan 7, 2025 1:59 am

Cole Anthony outplaying brunson.

Thibs offense is just post up OG over and over. Let's beat them with inefficient 2 pointers!

Fire everyone blow it up

Awful awful possession by Brunson just now. Jesus.

yeah keep blaming the bench when our starters are getting punked by g-leaguers

zero effort all game from the big dogs.

robillionaire · Post #233 » by **robillionaire** » Tue Jan 7, 2025 1:59 am

We should have invested in Cole Anthony and gave Greg the coaching job

Magic have been struggling to score 80 points.

Are we still blaming Kat for the defense?

TexasMassacre · Post #238 » by **TexasMassacre** » Tue Jan 7, 2025 2:01 am

Sims is one of the worst basketball players in the league.

He doesn't play at all then plays half the game when KAT is out.
Thibs is a fscking moron.

Clyde_Style · Post #239 » by **Clyde_Style** » Tue Jan 7, 2025 2:01 am

Strange how a team's spirit just vacates the franchise all of a sudden.

They kind of don't give a chit right now

Is this Thibs losing the team?

Guano · Post #240 » by **Guano** » Tue Jan 7, 2025 2:02 am

Getting punked by coby white and then Cole Anthony in consecutive games is rough on the spirits
